All the techniques and courses I teach are designed for a student’s own benefit and self-practice, not to help others. It's magic for yourself! I do this for many reasons: ethical considerations, experiential concerns, pedagogical ones, and more. This is not to say that it’s never okay to help others through magic, but I do believe that the majority of all magic is best worked for the benefit of yourself, not others.

The Mirror of Reality: It has been claimed by some that our objective three-dimensional world, the very substance of space and time in which we live, is a mirror of sorts. What we project into this screen of space and time is reflected back to us. We then interact with this reflection as if it were the causal reality.

The Fool is the card that is not a card. It is the sound of silence. The vibration that lives in between. It is wild and untamed. The Fool card represents the archetype of the wild child of aural rhythms. This is a traveler. A pilgrim in the world of the known. It is also unpredictable and unknown. It is holy. 

Occult means “hidden.” So a proper occult initiation implies that you are being called to experience knowledge, practices, and ways of being that are hidden from most. This isn’t about being elitist or joining a secret society. It is about the alchemical transformation of the soul.

In this guide, I will show you a simple yet powerful abundance spell to expand the flow of money and abundance in your life. Grounded in the rich symbolism of the New Moon, that sacred moment of new beginnings, you can open the windows of your spirit to prosperity and let it fill the air you breathe.

The human ego can be understood as a mere habit of thought—a persistent illusion that we are separate from our creator, our power, and each other. This sense of separation can feel overwhelming, like a powerful force, but in reality, there is nothing to fear. It's easy to become hypnotized by the idea that there is a great evil in the world and that we are powerless against it. This collective version of the ego, a "demi-urge," works to convince us all of our powerlessness.

Who is Lucifer? The figure we’ve been taught to fear—the leader of the rebellion against God, the opponent of Christ, the Father of Lies himself, the accuser and tempter of men, the source of all sin and disobedience in the world—is an unfortunate misconception.

Kether, the Crown, is the First sphere on the Qabalistic Tree and the power of I Am. The second and third spheres—Chokmah and Binah—are respectively male and female, the archetypal Father and Mother. While they exist in relation to each other, they both wear a single crown, which is the first sphere. Think of a monarch. The physical crown they wear is merely a symbol; the true crown is the majesty and authority it represents.

Ancient fairy tales are more than entertainment—they can be seen as living spells, encoded wisdom passed down through generations. "The Star Money," a lesser-known fairy tale, contains a powerful formula for invoking prosperity...

Today, we explore the profound spiritual power of Psalm 7 through the practice of Psalm Magic. Traditionally, this psalm is a potent tool for specific, vital purposes: breaking hexes and curses, vindicating the falsely accused, ensuring righteous court verdicts, overcoming formidable obstacles, and neutralizing conspiracies. Our focus today will be on harnessing its strength to recognize and affirm our divine innocence and to purify ourselves from all feelings of guilt.

Discover the Hermetic principle of rhythm, a cosmic law that illuminates the natural ebb and flow of all existence. Building upon our previous exploration of polarity—the dance of opposites—this principle reveals how sacred cycles govern our universe. Contemplate the turning of the seasons, the waxing and waning moon, or the cadence of your own breath—each a reflection of rhythmic patterns that repeat and restore balance. From the measured swing of a pendulum to the rise and

Today, we’re exploring a powerful elemental banishing spell designed to help you remove unwanted situations from your life. This ritual works by reversing the natural order of elemental creation, effectively dismantling the energetic foundation of whatever you wish to eliminate.

A widely held religious perspective views humanity as inherently sinful, portraying us as small beings in need of a higher power's grace and forgiveness to escape eternal punishment. This belief in our fundamental flaws can stifle natural self-expression and suppress individuality. It is difficult to overcome scarcity when raised under this worldview, because the notion of challenging this belief may never arise. Yet, the ability to question and challenge such doctrines is al

Magic. The word itself conjures images of mystery and power. At their core, the principles of magic are simply the art and science of the Magi. The practices of harnessing unseen forces to manifest desired changes, both within consciousness and in the physical world, is all driven by the practitioner’s will.

The Psalms are ancient texts filled with wisdom and potent magical formulas applicable to any circumstance. A core principle of the Psalmic Initiatory Path is that each Psalm holds maximal power – no one Psalm is inherently stronger than another. While certain Psalms may resonate more with specific situations, their true power lies in their adaptability. Any Psalm, when used with the Psalm Magic formula, can effectively address your needs.

Shekinah: The Universal Creative Force Ancient teachings describe a fine, etheric substance that permeates the entire universe—an invisible, delicate force considered the formless substance of all creation.

In Psalm Magic, Psalm 6 is traditionally linked to promoting good health, fostering compassion, improving eyesight, and aiding recovery from challenging illnesses. However, its applications extend far beyond these uses. This Psalm serves as a versatile resource for addressing vexing situations in any area of life.

Luciferian Archetypes: Lucifer is the Primal Light, the "firstborn" or "only begotten child" of the infinite, boundless source. He embodies the first spark of creation—the awakening of consciousness itself.

Claiming your power: I often say there are no witch police, and it’s a vital reminder because the core principle of the Craft is simple: do what you will. Nobody has the authority to dictate your magic, your magical practice, or your journey. You have the freedom to explore and shape your path as you see fit.  

In life, we often encounter hostile forces, whether from difficult people, toxic habits, or internal struggles. The "Shield of Release" spell is a powerful, magical practice designed to weaken and eliminate these harmful influences. By following this ritual, you create a talisman that helps you release negativity, break bad habits, and protect yourself energetically. This simple yet effective spell works best when performed during the waning moon, a time ideal for letting go
