Juggling on the Ride

“Laughter is a sublimated orgasm.” (Aleister Crowley) There’s the world of enchantment that the mage unveils from within their heart and mind’s eye and then there is the external world of appearances, limits and superficial values. The trick is to stay engaged with the default world, while never letting it…

Be Smarter than the Machine

A long time ago my Helicopter pilot uncle said, “You’ve got to be smarter than the machine.” That simple statement has stuck with me as I watched people freak out about AI programs like Chat GPT stealing their job. A large chunk of future work will likely be taken by…

Siddhas and Social Change

A Siddha in Tantra means a “Perfected One” from which we get the word “Siddhi” which means mystical attainments. The Siddhas have their roots in the Kshatriya or warrior caste of India that placed their focus on self-reliance and self-discipline over group ritualism and the Brahmin priestly caste. One thing…

Lucky 13

I’ve always been more drawn to ecstatic, shamanic, and witchy magick rooted deeply in the principles of nature. Though I’ve done a very deep dive into Ceremonial and Masonic-style magick and know its strengths and weaknesses, my passion is, and will always be Witchcraft. 13 is the number of the…

Work and the Magickal Link

“Work, & be our bed in working! Thrill with the joy of life & death!” (Liber Al Vel Legis) I had a conversation with someone once who said that if he had a trust fund he would “Do Magic all the time.” The person also said that he would keep…

Liminal Pathfinding

“A rhizome has no beginning or end; it is always in the middle, between things, interbeing, intermezzo. The tree is filiation, but the rhizome is alliance, uniquely alliance. (A Thousand Plateaus, 25) Pathfinding, AKA “Trailblazing” along with networking are essential behaviors Rhizomes display in their processes of evolutionary adaption. In…

Thelemic Witchcraft is Rhizomatic in nature.

Like the networked meshwork of the mycelial web that connects the trees and organisms of the forest, it weaves spiral threads of enchantment in the interface between the 93 Current and the natural world. Just like the mycelial web, it interfaces with existing structures but is never bound by them. …

Transgression Today

Plenty of people front as sinister in the Occult but how many are actually transgressive? The locus of transgression has shifted from lifestyle choices (sex, drugs and rock n roll) and surfaces (aesthetics and beliefs) to where and how you invest your thought,time,money energy, and most importantly the Will. Progressive are not transgressive and neither are reactionaries. The most transgressive thing a person could do today is turn their back on mainstream moral narratives (Left or Right) and focus on the success of their own Daemonicly driven dreams.

Metaphysics and Sacred Kingship

Politics is the attempt to instantiate one’s values which are ultimately rooted in what you believe. If you ladder up the chain: -Metaphysics -Beliefs -Values -Politics -Actions You find that conscious or not, one’s metaphysics is the root cause of one’s actions.
