Hello everyone! Glad to be back! This week I am discussing ceremonial magick and giving some information on how to work with the 'teaching angels', which are essentially a subset of angelic beings that are particularly invested in the wellbeing and betterment of humanity. Disclaimer: I DO NOT advise beginners to work with the angels. I am not saying they are evil, BUT they are intense powerful beings. Unless you are confident in magickal protection AND spirit work, I would HIGHLY advise you to take a step back to learn and practice before engaging with the angels. 

Here is the book that I highly recommend and where I got a large amount of my information from. I do not by any means endorse 100% of the views in this book, nor do I subscribe to all of the philosophies and beliefs it discusses, but I do stand by it as an incredibly helpful jumping-off point into the praxis of angelic magick. I believe that one can appreciate and utilize the techniques discussed within the book without agreeing with the author's take on the angels themselves or on the divine. I being a Wiccan, personally have quite a different view of things than the author, but you get my point! Be SAFE and enjoy!

All about the signs, planets, and houses!

Merry meet, everyone! This week is all about circles! I'll be explaining the history and lore of magick circles as well as taking you step by step on how to cast and close your own circle!

Circle Cast:

1. Facing eastward, invite the element of air and thank it for its presence.

2. Facing southward, invite the element of fire and thank it for its presence.

3. Facing westward, invite the element of water and thank it for its presence.

4. Facing northward, invite the element of earth and thank it for its presence.

5. Facing eastward once again, thank your gods for being with you and announce that the circle is cast and that no evil may enter it.

Closing the Circle:

1. Facing northward, thank the element of earth and bid farewell.

2. Facing westward, thank the element of water and bid farewell.

3. Facing southward, thank the element of fire and bid farewell.

4. Facing eastward, thank the element of air and bid farewell.

5. Thank your gods and any other spirits for their presence and participation.

6. Announce that the circle is open.

For those that are interested in the archangels:

Raphael - Air - East

Michael - Fire - South

Gabriel - Water - West

Uriel - Earth - North

Hello, everyone! I'm glad to be back after a break! This week we're talking about initiation. I'll be explaining what initiation is as well as giving some different perspectives on the issue and sharing my personal thoughts as well!

Merry meet, everyone! This week I'm discussing casting spells! I'll give my take on what spells are and break down the three essential components of a spell. Together we'll be learning how to take these three components and learn how to apply them to any spell you'd like to cast. These are the building blocks to create your own spell for anything you need!
