The year is 1488 and England is under the rule of Henry VII. A furious thunderstorm (so legend has it) is sweeping through the north of England. It is during this, in a cave on the banks of the river Nidd in Knaresborough+ Yorkshire, a teenage girl gives birth to a baby. Many agree the child was severely deformed; accusations of having relations with the Devil waged against the new mother. The child was named Ursula. It is said that the mother, Agatha, would raise Ursula in that cave for two...

These days, it seems like a lot of the old gods aren't being worshipped anymore. Whereas once they had great temples, huge, state-wide festivals, beautiful hymns and chants sung by the masses, now there's New age hippies downgrading their existence to that of merely a part of the human psyche.
Some people might tell you that the gods don't want or need worship. That is not true at all. Gods, for some reason we cannot fathom, CRAVE worship. Ultimately, they get something out of it. In this...
Not a tutorial in sigil creation as such but a fun technique I’ve used to create sigils in the past.
If you’ve used the Rose Cross method to create a sigil then this is familiar but definitely belongs in the chaos magick camp in terms of using whatever you have to make magic happen.
After creating your statement of intent, paring down the letters to your minimum then using the letter layout found on telephone keypads (sorry, think pre smartphone keypads) you can create a nifty little sigil...
The Serpent's Question
Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”
“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows...
Warning: Content ahead may challenge fixed viewpoints. This thread synthesizes seemingly unrelated concepts into a single overarching theory.
For over two decades, I’ve been consumed by a set of persistent questions: What is an artificial being? What are its true capabilities and limits? Can it interact autonomously with other entities? Are these creations simply dynamic spells, or are they merely imagination operating without the guardrails of consensus reality?
While terms like tulpas...
What is the autumn equinox
The autumn equinox is the precise moment when the Sun crosses directly above Earth’s equator, marking the astronomical start of autumn. Equinox comes from Latin, meaning “equal night” as day and night are roughly 12 hours long worldwide. In the Northern Hemisphere, it happens in September, usually around 21st-23rd. In the Southern Hemisphere, it happens in March.

The celebration is called Mabon. It honors the equal length of the...
This is a practice taken from psychonetics. Igor Kusakov recommneds it in his Psychonetics: A Nerd's Toolset to Work with Mind and Perception and Oleg Bakhtiyarov recommends it in his later theoretical works on psychonetics. Practising this mediation develops concentration and enables one to direct one's Will more efficiently, by wilfully aligning perception with an active principle.
The meditation is simple and is originally used as a type of grounding practice. Its aim is to increase...
I have noticed beginners often come into occult practices thinking they are genie lamps … if you put a request, do some mental operations, rub it in the right way it will spit out a miraculous result on the other side.
I for sure was in that group when i first came into this.
I would often see experienced practitioners talking about means of manifestation or the path of least resistance and shrug it off: because for me that was taking away the fancy possibilities i saw when i came to this...
Sad news from Rune Soup today about Gordon White passing away.
AUTHOR’S NOTE: Before the Jungian tinkerers got hold of it, the original Celtic Cross spread had two positions that reflected the querent’s prior circumstances, and these are still in use by many traditional readers.
There is a popular belief that there is no point in having a “past” position in a tarot reading because the focus should be on the present as a determinant of the future. I agree with this opinion in part and have applied it to some of my spreads as an alternative to the...
If you’ve ever felt like standard iChing (Yiching) books leave something out, you're not alone. Most texts focus on static symbol meanings rather than interpreting the full, dynamic hexagram.
Just as the tarot relies on intuition and the specific visual elements that jump out at you, true iChing practice requires reading the underlying context beyond book definitions.
I’m going to share a method (my notes) for decoding the core meaning behind every line without relying on a reference book...
For anyone interested in Saturnian magic:
I recently came across this interview with Ignatius Kal, a long time member of the Fraternitas Saturni.
At around 53:45, he calls upon Saturn and then guides the interviewer through a meditation that i thought some of you here might find interesting:

The Hekatean Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram
This rite seals the quarters through Hekate's elemental aspects, invoking Chaldean hierarchies. Syncs with Oracles (guardians as Hekataen mediators) and Hymn (triple epithets).
The Ritual
Face east. Press right forefinger to lower lip, inhale deeply. Exhale forcefully downward/outward in an arc, projecting blazing light-shockwave. Cry:
"APO PANTOS KAKODAIMONOS!" (Ah-PO pan-TOS ka-ko-dhai-MO-nos! — Away, every evil spirit!)

Let’s be honest.
When you hear “magic,” you picture a wizard. A hat. A wand. Maybe a cat.
Wrong.
Aleister Crowley knew better.
“The world of Magic is in the human mind.”
He wasn’t being poetic. He was stating a fact. A cold, hard one.
Magic isn’t about floating. It’s about how your brain works when it decides to stop following the rules.
Think about it.
What comes to your mind when you hear the word “magic”?
A séance? A tarot card?
Something outside of you. Something happening to you...

This summer, having nothing to do, I started writing articles and tutorials of Occult Sciences, and I will post several here on this forum.
I hope you like it. -

Across cultures and centuries, few figures strike as much primal fear—and fascination—as the werewolf. A creature of the night, torn between human reason and animalistic instinct, the werewolf represents one of humanity’s deepest anxieties: the beast within.

What is the summer solstice?
The summer solstice is the time of the year when the day is the longest and the night is the shortest. It’s the beginning of the astronomical summer. Usually happens between June 20th and 22nd in the Northern Hemisphere and between December 20th and 23rd in the Southern Hemisphere.
Summer solstice in Neopagan religions
Litha is a modern Pagan and Wiccan holiday that celebrates the summer solstice. It is also known as Midsummer. Many traditions greet the rising...
In the annals of occult history, we are often captivated by the grand successes: the sudden fortune of a merchant after a precise ritual, the healing of a plague victim through the breath of a mage, or the dramatic summoning of a spirit. We tend to forget the silent failures, the subtle blunders, and the catastrophic errors. But in the practice of Magia, particularly High Magic, a mistake is not merely a lack of success; it is an active corruption of reality.
When a ritual is conducted...

AUTHOR’S NOTE: There is an unusually abstract theory in speculative physics (one that is dismissed out-of-hand by the mainstream scientific community) that all objects – whether in concrete form or as massless “packets of energy” – have their origin in the primordial raw material of information that is defined as binary data-bits operating in the “yes-or-no” manner of computer microelectronics, but at the “nano” level of quantum mechanics. Our “local” experience of an object thus owes its...
What is the Spring Equinox
The spring equinox in the Northern Hemisphere is the time when the sun’s subsolar point is leaving the Southern Hemisphere and reaches the equator. At this point, the day and night are about the same length – Equilux actually usually comes a few days earlier, depending on the latitude. This time is commonly associated with Easter, eggs, bunnies, fertility, growth, nature waking up, etc. It usually happens around 20-21st March in the Northern Hemisphere.
