The most common idea taught in Western magick is the idea of the elements of fire, water, earth and air. Many people add in spirit or Akasha but that’s unimportant in relationship to the following. These elements are intertwined in almost every ceremony, every charm and almost every other aspect of Wicca or any other [...]

Why Sacrifice?
Posted in Magick, tagged categories, Magic, Magick, Pagan, paganism, sacrifice, why sacrifice, Witch, witchcraft on August 14, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Sacrifices have been made for various reasons, but for the most part they fall into four categories: releasing attachment, in reverence/celebration of gods, to build energy, and to return the energy given by the universe/gods.
In many magickal systems there is a need to release the attachment or memory of a ritual or spell in order [...]

Lately, it seems as though the brainstorming for a post topic is taking almost as long as the actual post takes. So in response to this shifting difficulty, I’ll change it up a bit and have a single topic that I/we can elaborate on throughout the week. Yes, I’ll still be posting every day, but [...]
Morals and Ethics

I’d like to get everyone’s opinion on a somewhat controversial topic. There’s that ever present issue with what is right when it comes to magick. Most people simply go with the old advice of the Rule of Three or Karma. Then there are the ones that adhere to Crowley’s only rule which was ‘Do what thou [...]
Publicity or Secrecy?

I’m having some trouble here lately coming up with a reason for the secrecy of magick. I know…I know…magick’s supposed to be kept in secret so that people who aren’t worthy of the power won’t get it… The only question I have is, “Do you know anyone who, after spending 10 years on a magickal [...]
The Four Pillars of Magick: Power, Technique, Belief, Other?
Posted in Magick, tagged belief, elements, Magic, Magick, other, Pagan, paganism, power, technique, Witch, witchcraft on July 30, 2008 | 6 Comments »
The logical question after yesterday’s blog would be the question, “What’s is the difference between a successful spell and an unsuccessful spell?” To this, my best answer would be that one of the four elements is missing or wrong.
Power
My best explanation for power would have to do with energy manipulation. It is simply the strength [...]
What Exactly Can Magick Do?
Posted in Magick, Movement Updates, tagged belief, Magic, Magick, miracles, Pagan, paganism, Witch, witchcraft on July 30, 2008 | 15 Comments »
In the last couple posts, it seemed that there seems to be a bit of disagreement about the very basics of magick.
I’m not sure that this is an accurate statement. One of the problems with many of these accounts of magical powers from a long time ago is that over time the stories tend to be [...]
Magick Schools?

So after I wrote the last blog about there being a lack of research in the Pagan communities, I realized something that’s key to research in anything: financial compensation for your time. Currently, an enormous amount of research is done through Universities where the employees are paid to find new stuff out as well as [...]
How Long Can We Stay Stagnant?

I’ve been looking for new books here lately because I’ve gotten bored with reading silly fiction and want something that will engage the intellectual side of me. I’ve looked through a lot of the older stuff like Crowley and Mathers as well as the more modern stuff that you can find at Barnes and Nobles [...]
A Couple Defensive Magick Techniques

So not long ago I had been having some energetic issues dealing with an old ex-friend and had been seeing things that weren’t there as well as simply having a creepy feeling on a regular basis. There had been quite a few cases of bad luck recently and I decided I needed to do [...]
