Isis & the Dark Night of the Soul
With the world seemingly crumbling about our ears, we have very good reasons to be depressed. This is a hard year. A very hard year. And it most certainly can affect our practice. Yet it is just such times as these that we need our practice. We need our Deities. We need one of the key tools of the devotee of Isis: hope. With that in mind, I am republishing this post on the Dark Night of the Soul…
I read a short blog post the other day that made me sad…and sympathetic. It was by a young woman whofelt she had lost the mystery of her Pagan path. The power of the rites had flown. She doubted. Her anguish was palpable in what she wrote.
Thismay have been the first time…

Handwriting as Sympathetic Magic
Sympathetic magic is the umbrella term for magic spells or techniques that a person or thing can be affected through their name or an object that represents them. The most common form of this is poppet magic.
There’s two facets of this type of magic. The first is imitation, such as that of a poppet, where the object is created to imitate the target. The second is contagion or contact, where the object has been touched or comes from the target, such as hair or a shirt.
These terms originate from Sir James George Frazer of The Golden Bough fame. But sympathetic is a fairly worldwide phenomena and has been evidenced since prehistoric times. Archaeologist and anthropologists are studying modern hunter and gatherer peoples to partially inform over the actions of previous hunter /gatherer peoples. In short, there is a theory that some cave paintings are linked to sympathetic magic…

Isis & the Faerie Queene
Queen Elizabeth I of England on the cover of The Faerie Queene
Today’s post is a repost. I really just needed to offer something not topical (my brain and soul are a bit ragged right now), but which shows how very topical our Goddess Isis has been throughout Western history.
Have a bit of respite from the news and enjoy…
Did you know that Isis can be connected with Queen Elizabeth I—she for whom the “Elizabethan Age” is named?
It’s an interesting story…
It’s a story that speaks to the influence of Isis’ story throughout the ages. It is also a story that reinforces Isis’ importance as a feminist icon.
So let us start in 1558, the year Elizabeth, daughter of Henry VIII, became queen. Elizabeth never married, thus never shared her throne; she reigned for over 40 years. She was called “Gloriana” and “Good Queen Bess” and “the Virgin Queen”.

Introducing … The Green River Alchemical Society
Retort Issue 4 And More
The fourth issue of the Green River Retort is up on the Newsletter page. This week, we take a look at crypto-currency and continue our look at the strange world of monatomic elements. This issue also features an essay and thought experiment on Brainwashing. This essay will be posted as a podcast in the next day or two as well, and I will likely podcast the crypto article, so that I can expand on the topic. Nest week, we will take a deep look into the weather phenomena occurring world-wide and their possible relation to some Agenda 21 issues. And look for more on natural law this next week, as I have not been really keeping on that subject with all that is going on in the world. Lastly, you may want to start stocking up on food, just be prepared. […]
