Because you should know better.
I was talking to someone about the way that people can anger spirits with normal human actions that infringe upon the natural world, broken vows, unwise magic and so on. In extreme cases their response can be as strong as a curse. I then mentioned that as a Sorcerer we can be more susceptible to […]

ConjureMan Ali and the House of Quimbanda
If you read my blog often you know that I tend not to hold divination in as high regard as some, or even most, practitioners do. I use it for sure, and use it well, but often I think people rely on it too much, or use it to just reinforce whatever they wanted to […]

The Further Wisdom of Abrasax
Ok, I am about a month late with this review, but hey better late than never. If you love the PGM, Hellenic or Greek magic, or magic at all for that matter, I am sure that you already have a copy of the Book of Abrasax from Nephilim Press. What you may not have is […]

A few days ago Nick Farrell posted a piece entitled Signs that you might not be a real magician. There are two points he makes that I would quibble with (point 8 and 9), but I think he meant some of it to be tongue-in-cheek so I am not going to get all nit-picky about […]

Cursing the Opposition
Those working with the “Crying of Calls 49 Group” will note that today’s call, Mercury of Saturn, is a curse. Obviously if you have enemies, this curse is for them but what if you don’t have any specific enemies? Is this appropriate to just utter without a target? Yes it is. Change the word enemies […]

Extreme Makeover: Palmisty Edition
One of things that I always harp on are people in that get divination’s, and don’t do anything to change the outcome. They just accept the news as immutable truth and move on. In most cases, not only is there no attempt to change “fate”, but no attempt to prepare for it either. Just a […]

A Coin Jar Talisman
Matthew Brownlee, the artist/sorcerer that drew up the Planetary Seals used in Advanced Planetary Magic and the Lightning Glyphs of Jupiter just sent me this talisman that he made a few months ago for a coin jar he keeps. He just emptied out $487. A perfect marriage of magical work with mundane action.
