I read Angel Tech by Antero Alli over the past couple of weeks and he designed a "ritual" that I have been doing lately. In brief, Two circles are consecrated; one is designed as a performance space while the other is a "chill-out" area to gather energy and "cleanse" one's self between parts of the ritual. In the performance space, one finds a word ( Read more... )

On Sunday, I tried the exercise I described in my last post. I went for a walk around the block. While I was distracted at some moments, there were several times when I had distinct moments of "attention."

In the intervening time I studied a lot about Science, Standard Philosophy/Metaphysics and a cybernetic approach to magick which was buried amid several of the books that I already had in my collection (Mainly Phil Hine and Dunn's "Post ( Read more... )

Since I am not using my journals as much as I used to, I decided that I would crosspost a few things and see how it goes ( Read more... )

My original emphasis in the use of magick was for the manipulation and transformation of reality to suit my consciousness (in other words,to get what I wanted or what other people wanted) because I wanted to see if it worked and to use the power inherent in "reality" to my own or my friends' benefit if it was at all possible, but in the short time ( Read more... )
