Dark Night of the SoulThe Two Aspects of Occultism Today There are lots of ways to divide the approach to occultism in various forms today. For this post, I’ll describe it as the technological/spiritual, and the religious. The technological/spiritual sees magick as means to achieving goals. Often, part of the technology involves the use of spiritual practices. Thus, although [...] The Importance of Keeping RecordsAlthough many scientists are loathe to admit it, the basics of what is known as “the scientific method”—essentially the ability to reproduce experimental results under identical conditions—were based on the practices of magicians and medieval alchemists. Sir Isaac Newton, who codified modern physics, wrote more on alchemy and religion than he did on physics. Most [...] Brazil, Magick Pills, and the LBRPBrazil was the name of a strange and wonderful film by Monty Python alum Terry Gilliam.

Nierenberg and Henry Calero. The basic concept is sort of like interpreting body language for the use of words. With body language, the position and motions of the body can amplify or refute the words [...] I Want You to Write!I honestly believe that Llewellyn publishes some of the most important and valuable books around. The authors you read today may be the Gerald Gardners, Doreen Valientes, Israel Regardies, Aleister Crowleys, and Arthur Avalons of tomorrow. Which authors today will take their place in that pantheon of names? I don’t know. My guess is that [...] Geomantic DivinationIn recent days I’ve been thinking a lot about alternative forms of divination. Most of you reading this are familiar with Tarot and astrology. Some of you may also be familiar with how to use runes, palmistry or ways to “read” a crystal ball. There are, however, some lesser-known forms of divination that are every [...] Three Items of NoteFor today’s post I have three items of interest… Item 1 The Contest is Running! —Win a Free Tarot Deck— The winner of the best prediction of the year contest will get a free Tarot deck of their choice.
