I have devoted 30 years to studying practical magic in its many forms.

I have written five books including the now classic Protection and Reversal Magick.

I teach  a number of courses online including the Strategic Sorcery Training Course, The Black School of St Cyprian, and The Sorcery of Hekate.

I’ve belonged to a few groups, traveled to a few magical places, and been initiated into this and that, none of which is very important.

What is important is that I can do magic that actually works. More to the point, my students tell me I teach them magic that works. Maybe I can teach YOU too.

If you really want a bullet list of my life and times, keep scrolling. If not….

This is Strategic Sorcery.

It is what my life has been about for nearly 30 years, and I want to share it.

 

My Dirty Life and Times

Ok. you want the list…. he is the fast and dirty low down:

  • Strange experiences when I was just five years old, led me to believe that there was more to reality than what we typically agree upon. These experiences stopped when I was around 6, but the impression that we are all on a stage, and there is a lot going on behind the curtains that we cannot see never left me.
  • At 15 I started studying anything I could get my hands on about magic. Even though I lives in a fairly rural area of New Jersey, somehow between the ages of 15 and 19 I managed to find a mentor in Western Magic (thank you Blanche!), a mentor in Rootwork (thank you Walter!), and make contact with the first westerner ever ordained as a Ngakpa, a Sorcerer within Tibetan Buddhism (Lama Vajranatha, I owe you more than anyone!)
  • In my 20’s I was initiated into a Coven that worked Witchcraft along the lines of Mastering Witchcraft, joined the Ordo Templi Orientis, and the Chthonic Auranian Temple.
  • In my mid 20’s I took my first Tantric initiation into Vajrakilaya. I devoted the next several years to the study of Tantra and Himalayan Magic in general. Eventually I moved to Nepal in 1999.
  • In late 2000 I returned to the states and began widening my focus back to the wider world of magic, and specifically about how I and others can get more out of our Sorcery. That year I also started a practice centered around the Goddess Hekate that eventually blossomed into my Sorcery of Hekate course.
  • In 2005 I was consecrated Bishop in a line of Independant Catholicism and began a long relationship with St Cyprian eventually blossoming into the Black School course.
  • I have been teaching courses since 2009.
