Anything with the proper shape and made out of the right material can conduct and direct energy. Therefore, it can be used as a wand (or athame). Despite being decidedly unnatural and nothing like a tree branch, mobile phones actually make halfway decent wands, if you know what you are doing. Why would you ever need to know this? Well, why not? First of all, if you haven’t before developed your skills in the Craft, or have only dabbled, there has never been a better time to follow the Path. Learning how to align with nature, harness your energies, meditate, […]

I’ve always been aware, at least to some degree, of “glitches,” “Mandela effects,” or whatever you want to call them. Problems or hiccups in the fabric of reality. Different traditions call them different things, but I know that as a kid, I would take note of them. Now it is becoming clear to more people that something is amiss. It is one of the reasons why I personally believe self-mastery training is so important. We’re in the midst of some kind of transference of energy, or shift. It doesn’t matter what you call it so much as it matters that […]

Have you ever found yourself inexplicably drawn to a specific place? I think most of us have had some experience with this kind of phenomenon. Not everyone heeds the call of these “magical” locales, but many can sense them.  Ley lines, or the meridians of energy that run through the planet, have been a popular topic in esoteric circles since the dawn of human civilization. Most of our civilization, in fact, is built around ley lines. Our ancestors were drawn to these energy centers and “veins” of energy, because they are typically verdant and help attract abundance. It is easier […]

From my experience, parenting is one of those subjects very few people properly understand, even in holistic circles. The trauma and pain inflicted on our offspring is rarely contemplated. The fact is, children are second class citizens in our society. The unnatural way in which most of the world developed has created a massive rift between us and the animal kingdom. As such, our children rarely know the luxury of respectful treatment. It is almost a taboo to even dare question someone’s parenting skills. This is because many of us inherently know that most parents have absolutely no idea what […]

You are looking for healing, be it physical, emotional, or spiritual. If I had to guess, you’ve been looking in all the wrong places and following a bunch of lukewarm techniques and guides that produce only marginal results at best, and fail to mention the vibrational nature of reality.  The problem is, you don’t understand correspondence. You were never taught how the world around you works, so the methods you are following can only take you so far. Everything comes back to correspondence. This is one of the laws of hermetics, foundational aspects of our world that you need to […]

I’ve been fascinated by dreams, other worlds, and dimensions for about as long as I can remember. Cepheus City is one of those more intriguing parts of my research that has always nagged me, but in a good way. Many people have seen Cepheus first hand, while others have heard about it in dreams or in visions. I look at it as a study in human psychology as well as a possible window into another world, a glimpse at what could possibly be out there. Cepheus and the Collective Conscious For anyone not familiar with the term, the “collective conscious” […]

Everything that belongs to the natural world has an affinity with one or more elements, which are a part of what constitutes its quintessential meaning. Being self-aware means learning what this affinity is and how it affects your actions and choices. This topic may be familiar to you if you are already a student of Hermetics. There are certainly many ways to explain elementism, ranging from scientific to superstitious, so I will break down the fundamentals and clear the air. What Are Elements and Why do We Have Them? Everything natural, to one degree or another, possesses an electromagnetic field. […]

This is something I see a lot: frustrated people walking around with anger that they were never taught how to process. Anger is often an energy affliction: it’s an emotional death spiral that literally accomplishes nothing. There are certain select scenarios where brief anger may be justified, but the key is to know when to let it go and process the energy (thoughts) that gave rise to it. Holding on to anger and fusing it with your identity is suicide. Stagnant Emotions Create Prisons of the Mind Let’s be clear first and foremost, if you’re looking to achieve a balanced, […]

It’s all about accessing the subconscious. That’s all there is to it: all the fancy techniques, rituals, exercises, programs, and mantras in the world all aim to achieve one thing, tapping into the subconscious. Manifestation is simple, but so many teachers and gurus complicate it. The reason why many people never get the hang of the law of attraction is because they never trigger the theta brainwave state, they never work from their subconscious. Why is this important? Because it is the subconscious part of our minds that is on the same “wavelength” or vibration as the subatomic world around […]
