"Nothing to say nor do, but to be a visitor passing on through; beholding the mystery that is of you, with eyes that are golden blue, and words which cannot construe what lies here in this memory of moments so true. Your life is a virtuous school, repeating dissonant lessons until they are explained in full; receiving recognition between the blurred lines of perception, the understandings of this divine inception are seemingly unmeasurable circumstances captured by a progression of an immaculate deception."

March 7th, Full Moon in Virgo

The full moon taking place on March 7th, 7:42 a.m. Eastern standard Time is going to be taking place in the mutable earth sign of Virgo.

This Moon carries with it the energy of a bated breath. With the sun and moon in a T-square configuration with Mars in Gemini, This speaks to an incredibly nervous, anxious and excitatory energy. This denotes an explosive, or cataclysmic quality particularly in regards to information. Lies, secrets and information That is otherwise obfuscated will be exposed. This can be the start of conflict, intention on a personal and collective level. This tension is elevated by the stellium in the zodiac sign of Aries including Vesta, Jupiter, Chiron, Venus and Juno. The conflict is being brought towards the surface to reach a fiery climax and conclusion. Emotions will be high during this moon, and people will be prone to outbursts of anger. Beware of physical danger this moon, such as cuts, burns, and accidents. This can also manifest as wildfires.

With the sun in Pisces being conjunct mercury in detriment and Neptune dignified, this portends a time of metaphorical and literal flooding. This is a bad planting season,with this configuration and Ceres in retrograde position in Libra so hold off on your spring planting.

With two major hitters at the anaretic degree (29°) and one being 29°59 there is a suspended element of anxiety and collective strife and a final gift from Saturn before he exits the place of power, most likely related to harmful collective legislation, technology, and social media. he's been in power since 2017(Capricorn-aqua) this is an experience we will not have for another 20 years. When we wake up, Saturn will already be in pisces changing the energy dramatically to one of confusion,dreaminess, and melancholy fantasy. Mutable signs(rising,sun,moon, stelliums) are in for a doozy this full moon.

Uranus is making positive aspects this moon denoting radical, surprising and positive changes and financial opportunities for the environment and collective.

Use this moon to get lot prepare for the upcoming changes

Workings:

Power

Domination

Sex

Healing

Cutting ties

Release

Portrait of myself as an expression of the day to day practice of my work. Self portrait, 2023

I am a ceremonial magician who has the privilege and honor of sharing glimpses of my beautiful journey with the world. I paint, sculpt, write, and pour my soul into everything I do. All of these creative outlets fail to capture what it truly feels like to explore the reaches of magick and divinity. What it feels like to assert my place in the magical current so many people have occupied before me. I am humbled by the divine forces woven through ourselves and the world. I am overjoyed, scared, elated, transformed, awakened, and enchanted.

This picture is a humble, but real glimpse of me doing the work. I am wearing one of my shoddily constructed tau robes. I prefer something I have crafted with intention and consecrated over anything else. My hair is pulled back so it doesn't catch fire during ritual. It also keeps the back of my neck cool. I usually wear no make up or next to no make up for ritual in case I start to cry or sweat profusely. I frequently am brought to tears by my recent work scrying. The last thing I need is mascara dripping all over everything.

The expression of magick through ceremonial practices is no better or worse than that of the work of others. I think magick is beautiful in all of its forms. Each of us has something powerful to bring to the table and share. I am not a folk practitioner or witch, but I continue to have profound respect for those who are. I feel like a better person and stronger magician by surrounding myself with a diversity of different perspectives.

Americans have great drive, but no conscience. Americans live for the dollar. They have drive to achieve more, succeed more, to be biggest on the block, but they have not developed conscience; therefore no drive to help God.

Do you deal in some sort of sorcery? I had the most absurd dream.

You were carving sigils into a tree.

My attorney advised me that I should neither confirm nor deny any sorcery allegations.

Do you remember what the sigils looked like?

#topsy's asks #yes I did once upon a time practice western hermeticism and occult magick #it's a bit of a monkey's paw #things got a little too strange #had to stop

"As to the roaming of sages, They move in utter emptiness, Let their minds meander in the great nothingness; They run beyond convention And go through where there is no gateway. They listen to the soundless And look at the formless, They are not constrained by society. And not bound to its custom."

- Lao-Tzu

Aleister Crowley vs. WB Yeats in The Battle of Blythe Road

This is a story about two magicians.

One of them was WB Yeats, writer, poet and politician.

One of them was Aleister Crowley.

You may not know that Yeats was a well-respected member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a very influential (if deeply problematic) esoteric and magical society. Other members included Bram Stoker, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and many other notable artists, writers, actors and political minds of the day.

Aleister Crowley was also a member (and an aspiring poet) and had a passionate rivalry with Yeats. Crowley, famously a complete shithead, was getting a reputation around town for being a total bastard and the rest of the Order of the Golden Dawn was getting sick of his shit. In 1900, they decided to kick him out of the order, which make Crowley absolutely lose his mind in anger.

Crowley decided that if he wouldn’t be let back into the club, he would storm the clubhouse and steal some of their secret papers to help found his own magical school.

He showed up one day at the meeting place of the Golden Dawn on Blythe Road in London - dressed like a highland warrior for some reason - trying to ascend the stairs into the building while shouting spells and curses.

Yeats and a few other members of the Golden Dawn stood at the top of the stairs, shouting back their own curses. Shockingly, neither set of incantations seemed to have any effect.

The two men stared one another down across the stairs as Crowley continued his approach, spells flying. Years of simmering resentment bubbled to the surface.

Suddenly, Crowley was upon them, reportedly armed with a dagger. Yeats had enough and stopped chanting.

As biographer Richard Elman later wrote, "the forces of good struck out with their feet and kicked him downstairs.”

Yeats booted Aleister Crowley full in the chest, who rolled down the stairs and was bodily thrown into the street.

That was the end of Crowley’s career in the Golden Dawn.

Our god is named Abraxas...

“Our god is named Abraxas and he is both god and the devil at the same time. You will find in him both the world of light and of shadows. Abraxas is not opposed to any of your thoughts or to any of your dreams but he will abandon you if you become normal and unapproachable. He will abandon you and look for another pot in which to cook his thoughts.” - Hermann Hesse

[Artwork by J. Augustus Knapp for Manly P. Hall’s The Secret Teachings of All Ages, 1928]
