“Occupy” As A Phased Enchantment
My first cloak-and-dagger business meeting was in the foyer of a Michelin starred restaurant attached to a casino in Auckland. It was late and we could be sure we wouldn’t be kicked out if it got later because the casino is open twenty four hours. The only other people around were a few Japanese tourists [...]
The Mathematics of Ancestors
Maybe “honouring” isn’t the right word? It has the potential to trip people up. “Honouring” risks implying that there is some sort of vetting process; like there is a cosmic Simon Cowell who decides who is in and who is out. The best phrase I have seen for what we could call an ‘ideal ancestral [...]
A Secret Spell Booster: Enchant In Real Time
Okay, so I have used this trick quite a number of times and have found it to be very useful. The results from the most recent enchantment have been so pleasing I think it’s time to share. My partner was going for a huge promotion with the large company he works for. I knew this [...]
The Tolkien View of Destiny
I want to pick up on something Jack discussed that I didn’t get to cover in my previous post. It’s to do with destiny and the will of the gods. He quotes Crowley as writing “it is impossible to perform the simplest act when the Gods say no.” We have all experienced this. Sometimes the [...]
The Value Of Ignorance: Don’t Read For Your Friends
We all have a story of our absolute worst reading for someone. Mine was for my flatmate who was also (at the time) my little brother’s girlfriend of four years. And it was rubbish. Even now it makes me cringe. This spectacular failure always troubled me because by any classic ‘spirit’ or ‘energy’ model I [...]
The Book Game & Its Benefits
So if you haven’t read it, I listed the details of a little book game I used to play. And so far there has been some really great responses. As Steve pointed out, it’s unbelievably helpful in working out what your core influences are. But it’s also a really good tool to assess your priorities. [...]
Chaos Magic Is 8 Things Right Now
Something I posted about prosperity magic a couple of months ago caused a bit of a stir but also included an excellent video (which you truly must watch) where Chris Anderson talks about the new economics of free. Chris opens by saying -somewhat facetiously- that his business model is just doing whatever Guy Kawasaki tells [...]
How To Hack The Retrogrades
There has been a bit of talk about how potent and generally shithouse this current Mercury retrograde is. Anecdotally, it seems more severe than any of the recent prior retrogrades -at least as far as I can remember. However, there are potential positive sides to retrograde planets if you know how to spot them. Here’s [...]
Are Your Money Spells Doomed From The Start?
Some spells seem to work more consistently than others. I’m thinking of weather magic, sex spells, healing/pain relief magic, small scale telepathy and simple luck spells. And then there are some categories that consistently don’t work. Regardless of whether or not you find any use for magical models, a category discrepancy shouldn’t appear. If magic [...]
10 Things You Can Do This Weekend To Make Your Life Better
Remember that story about how Crowley took Rose into the King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid and impressed her by conjuring up all those spirit lights. And then how he asked (paraphrasing) “Yeah, but what’s the point of it?” There is a personal lesson in this and it is one that took me years to [...]
