Is meditation important to a magical practice? It is indeed, and today I discuss why. I also mention that meditation is not necessarily what are told it is, that being sitting down and being silent.

We don't just find the Christian worldview present within Christianity. It bleeds through to those following Pagan paths, and a great deal in what we call the Left Hand Path.

Questions from Alchemy Lover and Taylor Trent regarding Dragon magic and the psychic...

For some time now I have been going on about my idea that the Djinn and Fae are the same. That the word Djinn is simply referring to the same thing, just from a different language, group of people, country and culture. This held up pretty well until now. I made a mistake, and this is the explanation. Questions today from LK about the difference bwteen magic with deities and without, and from Alche...

The Talking Board, Spirit Board or more commonly known Ouija Board is a tool for communing with spirits that has much fear surrounding it.

This is something that comes up repeatedly, how do we test the Spirits, and it is something that should be done with all Spirits, whether they be God, Goddess, Daemon or Angel. If we do not, then we could end up with an astral parasite posing as the Spirit with which we wish to communicate with, and then its all downhill from there. This is difficult for many people because we are taught to not qu...

When we do any kind of spellwork we are working with energy. Where that energy comes from can differ depending on the practitioner and the work being done, and it can come from various sources. One of these sources is our own emotions, but there are learned skills that makes the use of emotions in magic more manageable and useful. A question from Alison regarding someone who is beginning on the pa...

I haven't done one of these in a while, so thought I would let everyone know about changes, developments, etc. that have been going on lately.

I realize I use this term a lot, “union with the Divine”, and also realize that I have overlooked the fact that many people will not know what I am referring to in this regard. My own views differ greatly from many people, so I thought I should give my understanding of this so that people know what I am talking about. Today's question is from Deborah about what happens at the point of death, where...

Too many Pagan teachers who come from a Christian background are bringing their old Christian programming with them and trying to force their beliefs on those who are new the Pagan paths. Telling people they can't be a proper Witch until they renounce Christianity is just the same as a Christian telling someone they have to renounce Satan. It's ridiculous. Three questions today from Fatass Squirre...

Acceptance that someone isn't prepared to listen to your point of view and beliefs, and therefore accept your ways, causing you to move on and not waste your time and energy on them is one thing, and we have spoken about that in the past.
