  Elemental Equilibrium & Astral Animals

  The notion to build out a practice of hunting out and connecting with one’s astral animals, mainly under the framework of elemental equilibrium, has returned to me a couple times. The idea hit me on the head again today while driving. Hence, this blog post has come forth with approaches one can take towards this…

  Transfer of Consciousness

  Yesterday I was speaking with another magician about transfer of consciousness (“ToC”) and it gave me the notion to write a blog post about it. In Franz Bardon’s Initiation into Hermetics, one learns transfer of consciousness in the Magical Schooling of the Spirit at Step IV. We must understand how to transfer our consciousness into…

  Creative Visualization, Inner Clairvoyance, Dreams, Memory and Mental Wandering

  Creative visualization, inner clairvoyance, dreams, memory and mental wandering. That’s a mouthful, even after taking out “imagination.” 😉 Yet, they’re all words whose substance can weave together and they present a string that pulls you along a trajectory towards certain aims.

  Initiation

  This may be a short piece where I am saying something but nothing. An elusive dance with tendrils of mystery swirling around you, not quite able to articulate what occurred or from whence it came. Like hearing the song of a star a hundred light years away – its impression ephemeral and faint, but stirs…

  The Solitary Practitioner

  As a long time, mainly solitary practitioner with occasional spurts of magical and/or mystical group work, a recurring reflection on the elements required to succeed on the solitary path has been returning to me since starting this blog. Hence this post is brought to life. First, if you are seeking a magickal community, there are…

  50 Steps to Wonder Meditation

  In 2015 I met a woman on a beach pier in Santa Barbara, California who shared a creative visualization meditation that surprisingly proved worthwhile. Sharing because I think others would also benefit from trying it. Get into a comfortable seated position or lay down on your back. Close your eyes and imagine 50 steps in…
