New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
My journey with Chiron began in 1992 when, while browsing the shelves of the Theosophical Society bookstore in Sydney, Australia, the ultimate cliché happened: a book fell off the shelves and landed at my feet. I looked around, half expecting Shirley MacLaine to come around the corner! Not seeing her, I picked up the book and looked at the title—Chiron and the Healing Journey, by Melanie Reinhart. Not interested in asteroids at the time, I simply put the book back and went on my merry way. Little did I know at the time that this event would be the first in a series of synchronicities marking Chiron's forceful entry into my life. Having studied astrology since the age of ...
This article is not yet another repetition of how Dr. Dee and his assistant Edward Kelly discovered a magickal system (I actually consider it a set of systems) that has come to be called "Enochian Magick." I'm also not going to get into debates over pronunciation, which letters should be in various squares used in the system, etc. You can find out all of this information by simply searching the Internet or looking through a book or two on the subject.

Not long ago, I was experiencing some health problems and nothing I did seemed to help. I went through my normal regime of alternative health options—energy work, herbalism, and crystals—and found no relief. I tried my doctor, and didn’t get a satisfactory answer to my problems. After meditating on the problem, I immediately got the message "too much fire" and didn't really know what that meant. As a magical practitioner, I knew about the four elements.
