The Hidden Factor of Magick“Will this ritual or spell really work?” There are really only two possible answer to this question: “No” or “I don’t know.” There are some rituals and spells that have no rhyme or reason to them. They don’t work. Or at best you get something out of them in spite of the ritual. So in [...] Swordfish! (Affirmations vs. Hypnosis)My favorite anarchic comedians are the Marx brothers. Of all their movies, I liked 1933′s Duck Soup, the crazed, anti-war political satire, the best. All of their movies were really excuses to present comic bits.

You’ll be able to hear it over the internet and you can call in with your questions. For [...] How Magick WorksOne of the most common questions I receive seems to be the most basic: How does magick work? Why is it that when you properly perform a ritual or spell you get the desired results? The simplest and most honest answer is: I don’t know. It seems weird, then, that we should literally depend upon [...] The Truth About Hypnosis or…You’re Going the Wrong Way! I’ve been a certified clinical hypnotherapist for more than a dozen years. I’ve been trained and certified in several specialties, from teaching self-hypnosis to past life regression therapy and parts therapy. I’m also certified to teach hypnosis so that people who take trainings with me will be certified by the [...] The Truth About Hypnosis and HypnotistsDisclosure: I have used hypnosis for most of my life and have been deeply involved in the study and practice of hypnosis for well over a decade. I have earned certification as a clinical hypnotherapist, certification as an instructor of hypnosis and hypnotherapy, and certification in several specialties.

And fireside stories. And “FOAF” (a “Friend of a Friend” told someone) tales. And the internet. And in hypnosis stage shows for entertainmnet. They all seem to have a powerful hypnotist making people do things [...] Why Willpower Wilts and WanesJason Miller, using the name Inominandum, has a great blog called Strategic Sorcery.
