The Horoscope of the Magician
What do the boldest public people of magic, John Dee, William Butler Yeats, Aleister Crowley and Doreen Valiente, have in common? I have selected a group of men and one woman, who dared to be different and embrace the occult, magical and supernatural as part of their public persona. I have looked at their birth charts for similarities, which is of course interesting from a biographical perspective, but perhaps even more so for what it illuminates about magical consciousness in general.

Unravelling Demons: Unblocking My Fears Of The Hierophant
I was filled with curiosity as I shuffled and moved the cards around my desk. I gathered my favourites, my in-betweens and then there was one. It was a card that would often appear in my readings and as soon as I set my eyes on it my mind would draw a blank. I would almost feel a sense of dread in my chest. The card in question is The Hierophant.

How to stay lit as I emerge from a cavern of fear
An adventure through dissolution...
There are these stages to life, right, which reflect the cycles of many things that we can observe arising and dissolving. The seasons; the heightened energy when the sun is up and we feel fiery warmth and joy, to the dropping of leaves and the rising darkness as we dive into a thoughtful restorative winter. Our awareness; momentary, split second noticing of a sound or a sight that in as quick a moment has gone.

Luminous Shadows: Embracing the Eclipse’s Dual Nature
What's currently occupying my thoughts? Frankly, it's the eclipse, aligning intriguingly with Mercury in retrograde. Certain cosmic events are notably impactful, resonating deeply within us and influencing our external circumstances. My friends have been quite vocal about the astral tumult this period appears to usher in.

Tarot – The Art of Transforming The World
Why do we read the Tarot? Where are we going when we are in that space? And perhaps most importantly… what… are we looking for?
These sorts of deep questions are something that have driven my interest in Tarot since my first ever encounter with the cards some 20+ years ago.
These are also the exact same questions I ask of two other topics that I am equally and profoundly interested in as well… the field of Psychedelics and of Virtual Reality.

The Magick of Talismans
In a fascinating twist, those dedicated bingo players, unbeknownst to them, were practitioners of a unique form of witchcraft, subtly infusing magick into their games. The aura of the bingo hall transformed into a sacred space where the exchange of energies and the power of intention wove a spellbinding tapestry, amplifying the stakes of the game.

Magical Spellwork & Responsible Practice
Enter the enchanting realm of spellwork, promising solutions, love, and growth. In my opinion spellcasting should be anchored in morals, ethics, beliefs, and responsibility. Approached with sincerity, shaping spells with the desire for goodness and love. The principle of "What comes around - goes around" is REAL.

Love Witch Alchemy
Unleashing the Magician Mindset for self-empowerment in beyond sex and romance work.
My curiosity for sex magic began a few years ago, when I`ve decided to allow Satan, my current Patron, to enter my heart and my life. At the time, I was in desperate need of a solid masculine energy that could teach me how to repair myself from the broken relationship I had with my dad.

The Religion of Thelema?
“Do what thou will shall the be the whole of the Law.”
In his quest to demystify the enigmatic "uncle Al," Marco Visconti, the author behind "The Aleister Crowley Manual" and a Thelema aficionado, boldly tackles the age-old question: Was Thelema a religion, or was it just Crowley's wild occult experiment?
