Coming to Las Vegas This Friday–SundayThis Weekend, September 16–18, I’ll be coming out from L.A. to visit all of my friends in Las Vegas. I’ll be giving three workshops at: Well of the Moon 2650 S. Decatur Blvd., Ste. 2 Las Vegas, NV 89102 702-666-7200 Topics for the workshops: Talismans and Amulets: Saturday, September 17, beginning at 10:00 a.m. Participants [...] Learning to SpeakReaders, please enjoy this guest blog post by Brandy Williams, author of Practical Magic for Beginners and the new Woman Magician. In high school I was required to take speech class. For a shy, clumsy kid this was a torment. The first time I stood in front of class I was shaking like a leaf. [...] Words: The Sound and the FuryIn Jewish tradition, God creates by using words: “And God said, “Let there be light”: and there was light.” (KJV, Genesis I:3) In Christian tradition, God literally is a word: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the word was God.” (KJV, John I:1) In magickal traditions, the correct [...] A Little More Charm, PleaseThis time of year always seems so magical to me. Also it is a rather social time, so I thought this tarot spell for projecting charm would be as useful to you as it is for me. Also, it includes The Star card, which seems to be a favorite during the holidays. It’s from Janina [...] Sexuality, Magic, and PerversionSexuality, Magic, and Perversion is the name of a book by Francis King that was originally published in 1972. It was eye opening for the time because it revealed practices of sex magick that had developed over the previous century or so. It is more of a historical and theoretical book where my Modern Sex [...] The L.O.A., Magick, and Love Magick: Part IIMy previous post on this subject has kicked up a storm on the internet. I’ve received numerous emails and comments—often angry complaints—about what I wrote. Basically, they come down to this: how dare I suggest that a person change in order to attract a partner. It’s fake. It’s not being yourself.Kyle wrote (see comment #3 [...] Farewell, Isaac Today we mark the passing of a keen wit and prolific author, Isaac Bonewits. It is very sad and hard to lose a talent like his, but luckily his words will live on through the many books that he published, serving as a great asset to future generations. Here is the full obituary that his [...] Cold Fusion, Pseudo-Skepticism, and MagickOn Roy Stemman’s Paranormal Review blog there is a fascinating article on cold fusion. Cold fusion is the idea of creating nuclear fusion—where multiple atomic nuclei join together to form a single heavier nucleus—at or near room temperature. A side effect of this is a massive release of energy. Regular fusion, the physical source of [...] Why Magick Fails; A Website; MM news!Actually, there are many reasons why magick fails. The primary cause of most magickal failures, however, is not understanding that magick is, in part, a science. Rituals, spells, and all forms of magick are basically scientific experiments. As you did (or do) in high school, you can simply repeat experiments from a text book and [...] Reading Between the LinesMagick is not something taught in school. All forms of magick are foreign to most people’s daily lives. Certainly there are some magickal practices that have filtered into daily life (often in partial or incorrect form and sometimes referred to as superstitions), but for the most part magick is something unique, special, and unusual.
