Books/Papers

Ave,

So, I've created a few short works on magic-namely a small pamphlet with instruction on Kameothic Magic, and another pamphlet detailing my healing method, The Book of the Blossoming Flower (which I've only released to a few fellow Magicians almost a year ago....mostly to get some peer review.)  I've got a little distance from them now, and decided to take a look back at them. I learned a few things:

1. I am a little over-zealous in my self criticism.
2. I am a bit of a lazy writer.
3. Both pamphlets are good, because they work.

I'm planning on continuing to create small pamphlets (the size of a few book chapters), and hope that I'll look up and have written a book about my personal system of practice without really having had to Write it.

Examining Why someone writes these sort of things--when there are plenty of books teaching magic already--is interesting. I feel it is important for me for a number reasons. I want to be able to teach my sons and daughter, when they're old enough, a consistent system which they can feel is their own. Which will save them the years of thrashing about that I did, the years of toil in dusty books (I suppose it would be "sight-blinding PDF's" these days....), the uncertainty... this would be a real inheritance. They can make their own money. I would have traded every dime I had to have something like this from my father.

I also feel obligated to contribute. Not because I am some authority on Magic (I certainly am not!), but the relationships I have with the persons and Entities who I've learned from seem to have come with that expectation. Plus, I love magic, and making even a little corner of it in my own image is irresistible. 'Cuz that's what we do with the world, isn't it?

The recent posts by Fras Gordon, RO, and Jason are full of great tips on getting on the writing train. Thanks Gents!

  1. Agreed totally. Passing on the tradition is helping it stay alive. A great help both to your children and the rest of us.

  2. Care Fra A.I.T.

    this is great and of highest value I would say. There are a lot f systemy out there but not all work for everyone. If you found your individual system that works and are able to pass it on, great. Also your kids will appreciate having a clear guideline without all the crap of hiding things, adding "traps" etc. I alwayss thnk what a pity it is that so many great magicians leave without leaving their advise or system. Imagine how great that would be, a huge library of personal experience...

  3. Thanks Gents-I'm with you on the whole blinds and traps thing, Fra Arcad. I think that's bullshit. Setting people up to fail in Magic is beyond offensive.

  4. I've been reading your blog for a while now. I have a similar background in magic as you: Bardon, GD and Enochian, +++. I am interested in reading your book on Kameothic Magic. The last one who touched on such a subject in my readings was Frater U.D. in Practical Sigil Magic. What way can I obtain a copy of your book.

    Sorry to come out of nowhere but I am more of a silent operator.

    Thanks in Advance,

    I don't have a complete copy of the book around-however, here in the archives of the blog I have posts with all of the information--rituals, images of the Kamea, etc. Search for "Book of Coelius" and you'll have what you need. Thank you for reading, and share your results.

Results: Spagyric Tincture using an unknown flower

I've created and refined my first spagryic tincture, and gotten results from it's use! For those not in the know, a spagyric tincture is an alchemical product made using a plant. The Process is deceptively simple; the results immediate and powerful. To create spagryic tinctures, the following equipment is required: 1 Mason Jar 1 Mortar and Pestle 1 Knife, blessed in Ritual Spagyric Supplies 1 Plant, that will be evolved by our Alchemy 1 Container containing a pure Alcohol 1 Retort 1 Butane Burner w/Fuel 1 Tripod/stand for the Retort Filtering Paper-lab grade is nice, but a couple of coffee filters will do just fine. 1 ceramic container for heating 1 Receiving Flask You will need some plastic wrap-to cover the lid of the Mason Jar, to prevent the metal from contacting the tincture. First Method Pick the plant during either the Planetary hour of the pow

Golden Dawn--WTF

Ave, I've been trying my level best to not talk about this latest eruption of foolishness, but good folks are being dragged through the mud (on both sides), and I've grown weary. This whole thing is a steaming pile of bullshit. No one is trying to "destroy" the Golden Dawn, that's just silliness. No one is trying to become the only "legitimate" Golden Dawn order either. I'm sickened by this display. Argue in a scholarly fashion! When did this sniping nonsense become the norm? A debate between honorable and wise gents (both of whom I consider Brothers in the Work) like Fraters AM and SR about the Sabbatian Qabbalah would be wonderful, if we could cut all the bullshit out. Quality conversations, ya'll.  Skip the vitriol, the name calling and the idiotic marketing methods. Yes, it is idiocy. This "McGolden Dawn" nonsense is stupid.Ya'll. GROW THE FUCK UP. For the record, The A+O's transmissions are valid, they are real. T

Bullshit Siddhis

Nsala malongo, So.....powers. They exist. You work your alchemy, and they start popping up. It isn't what you expect. It's not like the comics. Subtle things happen. You get a little something here, a big something there. Some of them appear useless at first. Some years ago, after work in the upper cinnabar field, I gained the dubiously awesome ability to see a sort of spirit double floating around people. At first I was BEYOND stoked, and thought I was well on my way toward ascension from my normal state into a vicious and powerful spiritual overlord, as was foretold. By me. When I was like, fourteen. Then, after the wonder wore off, I realized that this was absolutely useless. The double gave me no information about the person, no power to manipulate myself or the other. It was just there. So. Countless hours of heat and concentration, and the end result was this? Of course it *was* useful in the long-run, as a mark of my developing spiritual s
