Alex Mihai March, 5 2020 4:00PM EST If You Forget You Paid, Then Your Meal is Free! Once upon a time, people decided someone needed to be in charge of this mess called Life, and they decided to pick. Maybe it was a King or Queen or Arch-Burrito… That part is irrelevant. What is important is that someone was chosen. Now, for a person to be in charge, they need time to think and get philosophical about what ought to be done. That’s the main objective of t ..read more

Yoai Desurmont In 1981, Dean Koontz wrote about the Wuhan-400, a biological weapon developed by China just outside of Wuhan. Readers describe the virus as being the perfect weapon to wipe out a country, and if that sounds kind of similar to current world discussions, you wouldn’t be alone in thinking so. Wuhan is, in fact, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in China. While I am not saying that the coronavirus is a manufactured biological weapon ..read more

Marcos Mant oc·cult. /əˈkəlt/ (verb). Cut off from view by interposing something. "A wooden screen was built to occult the competitors." Funnily enough, if you asked most occultists, you’d think it was a noun. “The Occult” is usually interchangeable with “the hidden thing,” but it would really be better addressed as, “The Occult, one thing hiding another.” Sì, Yes, and Oui Are All Fine Ways to Order the Next Drink! Want to have some fun? Ask two practi ..read more

William Daigneault I am finishing this post up a day after doing Ayahuasca at a very high dosage. “Heroic,” Terrence McKenna might’ve called it. I’m still not sure if I would say it was too high a dosage; I came out, after all, in a better state than I went in. It was not always a fun journey, though. To simplify, Ayahuasca and its many analogues are a form of DMT. Plants like these have been used medicinally and shamanistically for a very long time. Th ..read more

Sanni Sahil So what if it’s a month late? Here’s some info on the full moons of 2020. I am, of course, excluding January because January has come and gone. I’ve included a brief summary of what’s going on with other planetary bodies at the exact aspect of the full moon. As always, there are no hard and fast rules, but consider this a primer to help you plan going forward. Special Notes: There’s a lot of really cool shit going on at the end of the year ..read more

Ishan Names of groups of things are amusing to me. A pride of lions. A murder of crows. A madness of angels. I haven’t yet found a name for a group of Tricksters, but, if one were to exist, I propose it be a schism of Tricksters. In the Land of Gods and Monsters, I Was an Angel Living in a Bus Station Bathroom! There is power in belief, yes? There is likely even more in useful beliefs. If we cheat the rules a little bit, we can even focus all our belief ..read more

KS Kyung “Belief can be manipulated. Only knowledge is dangerous,” one conspirator tells another in Frank Herbert’s novel Dune Messiah. Don’t worry! I’m not doing another post on the Dune series. No, I’m gonna rant about how an existential crisis is important and why all your beliefs need not survive it. Also, eggs-istential crisis. Get it ..read more

Lidya Nada You’d think that altering memories and exploring the wibbly-wobbly-ness of time would leave a person feeling existential, but I am currently finding the opposite to be true. Instead, I would like to contemplate the meaninglessness of it all and how beautiful the meaningless really is. I Want to Shake It, and the Robots are Playing My Jam! Trying to push meaning onto things ruins them. When you attempt to associate two ideas (time and space, a ..read more

GoaShape Let’s stay on the topic of sigils for the moment. This time I was trying to work out some subconscious issues using a Peter Carroll-esque method of creating events in the past using retroactive sigils. As a word of caution, I won’t be going into the sigil making or activation process. If you want more info on that, you should check out my first experiment with sigils. There is a load of information there on how, what, why, and all sorts of othe ..read more

AlbanyColley Experimental and magic are two words that pair like a chimichanga and queso blanco. I’m going to be doing a lot more of it going forward and hopefully writing about some of it. I’ve been trying a new experiment with sigils that has produced results at an uncanny rate, and I would like to share it with you. It’s a simple enough method, and I have some theories on why it might work near the end. It hits all the high notes of good, well-orches ..read more
