[…] This is the gist of what I said: The Devil is my capacity to be aware of whatever messes with my peace of mind. I’m the Devil, as all is reflection. I’m the peacemaker too.
Why did I say that? Allow me to expand on this point, so it may inspire a few others who practice combining cards and magic by way of looking.

“We must grow beyond the tendency to criticize or condemn. These are not advanced states of consciousness. We may not agree, but we can understand. We can sympathize. We can realize the circumstances and conditions which cause other people to be what they are, because we are gradually learning to appreciate the conditions that made us what we are.”
– Manly P. Hall, The Blind Spot in the Mind, 1961, p.13

It’s my birthday today on the calendar and it was my solar Return yesterday. The Solar return is when the Sun is actually at the exact degree it was when you were born and is often the day ahead. I am lying kinda low. I think the Sun Jupiter Mercury energy is very strong and sometimes with Jupiter overdoes things.
The energies on the 27th were over the top. And 3 inconjuncts yesterday weren’t that great either. How are you doing? I really want to encourage all of you who follow me to respond please so I know you are actually out there.
I’ve also got a chest cold and I need to be very careful these days as I have issues with my lungs. I was born extremely premature, I was supposed to be an Aquarius born February 10 or 12th I remember my mom saying and here i…

Hello Everyone,
I hope you were able to handle the Scorpio energies, they were stronger than I thought they would be, and if you remember my last article, I said they would be intense. Before I go into the core of the current new information I decided to write about some of my personal experiences first. I attended 3 powerful retreats during Scorpio season. The first one was for 10 days and was off the charts strong for me. I was at a Red Garuda (firebird) Retreat in Emily Minnesota during the beginning of Scorpio, and it was crazy. I

Today, the Moon is in the 7th Mansion of Al-Dhira, a time when it is auspicious to seek and strengthen friendships and give and receive assistance. About this Mansion, the Picatrix (11th century) says:
“The seventh Mansion is Aldira, and it for the acquisition of all good [things]. When the Moon has come around to this Mansion, fashion a seal of silver, and sculpt the image of a man clothed in robes and with his hands extended to heaven after manner…

Drastic changes are coming your way by March as you transform your reality to suit who it is you wish to be. The rose-colored glasses of Neptune in Pisces are coming off, bringing you a reality check in an area where you have desired change and a new way of life. This cycle of the Neptune in Pisces transit brings you to greater stability, and the feeling of justice having been served in a situation which you have deemed to be unfair. This is a time to bring your dreams into the real world, making them a reality, not through wishful thinking, but through meticulous attention to detail.
Your power within and without is being revamped during this cycle, affording you greater control, so long as you do not allow the past to cloud your judgment. You really want what is best for everyone all around, and will strive to…

On Friday, November 16th, just before 6 am PST, Venus will station direct in Libra, completing the retrograde journey it has been on since October 5th. While retrograde, Venus made its way back through the first part of Scorpio and into the last few degrees of Libra – fueling the last month and a half with a heightened sense of emotion, chaos and uncertainty. Venus retrograde in Scorpio has been a sort of reality check; forcing us to look deep and to sit with our discomforts, to recognize our truth and values, and to question that which does not seem to match up. While the experience itself may have been rather dark, daunting and draining, the aim of Venus’ retrograde in Scorpio is not to bring us to defeat – but to awaken a sense of inner power and strength, to stir us so deeply that…

Today is a very special Day of the Sun, which also happens to be the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church, a day on which we pray for and commemorate all of the Martyrs who died for their faith throughout history, including Saint Cyprian, Saint Justina, and Saint Theocistus.
On this auspicious day, I finished a new hand-made devotional rosary to Saint Cyprian of Antioch for use in prayer and work with him as well as to be worn around my neck or wrist during Solomonic grimoire work.
This rosary features:

Last week was an incredible week in the Universe! Energies continue to shift this week as Mars finally makes its way into Pisces to stay until December 31. How has Venus retrograde treated you? The planet of love, money, and beauty will go direct on the 16th in home sign of Libra. Don’t get too excited, because later in the day, Mercury, that little trickster, will retrograde in Sagittarius. Mark your calendar for Mercury direct December 6, Venus leaving shadow December 17, and Mercury leaving shadow December 24. To hear what I have to say for this coming week and beyond, listen to my Weekly Tarot Guidance now on Patreon or Facebook Members Only.
“Heed these words, you who wish to probe the depths of Nature:
If you do not find within your Self that which you seek, neither will you find it outside.
If you ignore the wonders of your own House, how do you expect to find other wonders?
In you is hidden the Treasure of Treasures.
Know Thyself and you will know the Universe and the Gods.”
— Temple of Apollo at Delphi, by Proxy of Luxor, Ancient Egypt
A common query among those working the Golden Dawn system is why the Sephirah Yesod (and Theoricus) is attributed to Air instead of Water (after all, it is linked with the Moon, which affects the tides), and why the Sephirah Hod (and Practicus) is attributed to Water (when it is also assigned to the more intellectual, or airy, planet of Mercury). It almost seems like it’s reversed, an apparent elemental inconsistency. […]

I read a quote today by Gordon Winterfield, author of Demons of Magick who claimed that none of the tools of grimoiric magic that many of us in this group have devoted so much time, love, and energy to creating are “required” to work with goetic spirits. If you’ve read any of my articles researching the meticulous traditions surrounding the making of some of these tools and sharing my approaches to crafting them, you could probably imagine my facial expression upon reading this statement…
However, since I attempt to be a charitable listener, I will willingly concede to Gordon that yes, technically, none of the classical equipment is “required” to complete a successful evocation, with ‘successful’ meaning that “the spirit showed up when called.” Here’s the thing, though; this “success” can come at the price of great danger, risk, and chaotic and unpredictable results from evocations…
