Music is an amazing thing. It brings out our joy, can help us touch buried sorrow, expresses our emotions when there are no words, and pulses through our bodies in a rhythm we sometimes simply can’t deny. It is positively infectious, healing, and uplifting in so many wonderful ways. All of this was in the [...]
Even though billions of people around the world believe in reincarnation, and the belief in reincarnation has existed for thousands of years, it remains a highly controversial subject. Personally, I believe that’s a good thing. We should examine our beliefs to determine whether they are based in reality rather than fantasy. Most occultists, but definitely not [...]
Earlier this week I noted that Llewellyn is having a really great spring sale that included some older tarot books. One of them is Tarot Awareness: Exploring the Spiritual Path by Stephen Walter Sterling. It is on sale for only $8.98. This was one of the earliest books I acquired for Llewellyn. I loved it [...]
Tarot Spreads: Layouts & Techniques to Empower Your Readings is probably my most innovative and unique book to date. It was also the hardest I’ve written. You see, it is far more than a collection of spreads. It is an in-depth examination of what spreads are and how they work. To my knowledge, this hasn’t [...]
One of the questions I often receive is a request for contact with an occult group, order, coven, etc. As a policy, I don’t recommend such organizations.

Today, April 6, 2012, is the first night of Pesach, the Jewish holiday known in English as “Passover.” I wrote “first night” rather than “first day” because Jewish holidays begin at sundown. The first full day of Pesach is tomorrow, Saturday, April 7. Although most people familiar with this holiday know it for the feast [...]
My first (and so far, only) tattoo is of the labyrinth at Canterbury Cathedral on the inside of my left wrist. I’ve always loved the contradictions of labyrinths. So simple, on the surface, and yet, complex, in terms of what happens when one walks it. There is only one way in and one way out, [...]
This Full Moon in Libra will occur Friday, April 6 at 3:20 pm Eastern (7:20 pm GMT) at 17 degrees. Full Moons represent the culmination of those things that were begun with the New Moon (in this case the March 22 New Moon in Aries, which found us focusing on our personal initiatives, aspirations, and [...]
Readers, please enjoy this guest blog post by Graham Nicholls, author of Navigating the Out-of-Body Experience. This month, as the field of parapsychology turns 130 years old, I look back its influence on me and the wider implications of the field for our understanding of reality. As a young teenager, the works of Janet Lee [...]
