Everything Under the Moon

I think in terms of planetary magic, as that is the tradition that I work out of. You could work with Venus to make them friendlier and more polite toward you. Burn a green candle, dressed with appropriate oils and herbs, on top of a petition paper on a Friday when the moon is waxing. Sent from my i...

Keep it up. Eventually it becomes a daily routine, and it feels funny to miss a day.

There are fauna that inhabit the lower psychic planes that feed on the vital life force of living creatures. They are the metaphysical equivalent of leeches and tapeworms.

I believe you might be able to legally fight your landlord in regard to burning candles/incense on grounds of religious freedom. But I'm certainly not a lawyer, so take that with a healthy dose of salt. Anyways, I have plenty of indoor altars, as most folks do, but I also have an altar located deep ...

When you start on your path many spirits and entities are attracted to the psychic energy that you are putting off. Guides will become more visible, and elemental and planetary spirits will come around. It has been part of my life since childhood, so for me it is second nature. Unfortunately, things...

I have had some luck asking these spirits to appear to me in dreams. As a result, I had two dreams in a single night, one with a chameleon and the other with a bumblebee. I have also had some luck with asking them to make their presence known via synchronicity. Owls started popping up everywhere; ow...

It is a sign of psychic energy being channeled through your hands, and is symptomatic of being a healer or energy worker.

Many people, including myself, believe this way. It is a form of henotheism or monism. Everything spiritual and physical emanates outward from a single divine source. This singular source gives rise to the Lord & Lady who in turn give rise to the elements and planets. Gerald Gardner called this ...

One of the main purposes of casting a circle is the creation of a pocket dimension within the astral, a microcosm within the macrocosm, at the center of which you are a god or goddess. You are reenacting, on a metaphysical level, the creation of the universe, with yourself as its cosmic overseer. Bu...

I never recommend mixing paradigms, because it confuses the subconscious. You can switch back and forth. But don't combine them together in a working.

Mercury retrograde is associated with the trickster aspect of divinity. Electronics are known to go haywire. Cars break down. Items get misplaced. It is a time of bad luck. The best tactic to adopt with Mercury retrograde is to play along with the tricks and jokes.

I'm personally not concerned with labels. I'm an advocate of emanationism, which as several people have already mentioned, is the notion that everything physical and spiritual (including deities) emanates outward from a single divine source. But I'm ultimately nothing more than a seeker of 'Truth &a...

Although I don't subscribe to demons in the Judeo-Christian sense, I have encountered my fair share of vampiric and baneful spirits, mostly in the form of "shadow people."

I occasionally wear a consecrated pentagram necklace, for its banishing properties. The only scrutinizing look I've ever received was from a podiatrist I was seeing for my foot.

Many folks believe that the deities are anthropomorphized versions of the seven ancient planets: Luna, Mercury, Venus, Sol, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Love is an archetypal energy, so you have goddesses such as Aphrodite and Venus. There are plenty of solar deities such as Apollo and Ra. Hermes and ...
