What we see and what we experience color our perception of what constitutes “reality”. As magicians we know this for an everyday fact due to our work with “exterior” entities that are not strictly…

Listening, and speaking, to Phil Hine
So last night a friend and I made our way downstairs in Treadwell’s esoteric bookshop to listen to author and philosopher (?), Phil Hine.
You should’ve read his books by now, and realised that he’s not trapped in that past.
Phil spoke about his past magickal shenanigans and how he started experimenting with Cthulhu magick at 16, and then worked his way through several...

Is it possible to get trapped in a dark side of...
This question by @ChaosMagick got me thinking. Of course, the Tao being what it is (and therefore isn’t) the only real answer would have to be a combined yes and no. Or that there is no answer. In fact as with most things Tao, the answer is a paradox. But for the sake of discussion, and my sanity, I will simply answer no, and attempt to defend that answer herein.
I have two reason for...

Offered thrice
Just the other day, I turned down a pot load of money. It hurt to do so, as people say there are “so few opportunities” out there. Opportunities don’t normally knock on your door - you have to go hunting for them.
Opportunity knocked; declining was hard. I wondered if the UniCreatrix would ever forgive me. I wondered if my karma would be burnt up:
“Oh that’s fine,...

I ask, you offer, I decline
Oh vast Chaosphere, oh great Creatrix;
I come as a fool to you.
In the dark of early spring, I asked you for money. A pot load of money. I wanted a quick fix, and some facile trinkets to play with. A week later, you offered me fourteen grand.
Indecision gripped me; I sweated into the night.
I declined your generous offer. I felt I needed to consider all the ramifications, and so I confidently...

Young light
I am a young child. I’m almost alone in my room. I don’t know why I’ve been sent here but they say I’m bad. The curtains are closed but it’s still light outside and the room is filled with a pink glow. The sheets on my bed are purple. I like the purple ones. I have more control when the sheets are purple. The yellow ones don’t work as well. She chose the yellow ones.
I call the light to me, shape...

My only memories
Memory is a constructive process; it is not a movie play back. For instance, everytime you ‘see yourself’ in a memory, that’s a reconstuction of events.
I have only a few strong memories. I share them with you to release their importance. They’re too heavy to carry alone.

Bisexuals are supposed to be equally attracted to men and women – always androgyny, but never to trans people – and always at the same time. They supposedly need to have identical amounts of sex with both, and don’t notice the differences between them (which might get painful in bed, I reckon). We’re all told bisexuality...

The Universe is finite; Nothing is infinite
The title of this article is ambiguous, because I wish to discuss ‘nothing’ and how it is indeed infinite.
Our Universe is expanding and it is inflating. There’s a finite amount of matter and a growing amount of space.
I’m told the Universe is 13.5 to 14 billion years old. It started very small, it got big very quickly, and is still expanding and cooling. Fourteen...

Dreamscape
There is nothing more boring than hearing other people’s dreams. Dreams are inherently self-centred (unless you’ve been sharing dreams or dreamwalking!).
So, on with the metaphor questing.
1) I cracked a walnut shell to find a toad within, that promptly transformed into a bird and flew away when I exclaimed to my friends.
Walnut, toad, bird. It feels like there’s a message...
