The long view from the trig point today. A glorious day for a walk on the moors #moors #moorland #trigpoint #countryside #walking #outdoors

And my second Substack posting that's a bit less cryptic! substack.com/@theglovemak...

youtu.be/o6f593X6rv8?.... One of my all time favourite songs, that feeling of being whisked away by intense love. #thelema #hga #occultsky #occultism #magick #witchsky #magicksky #pagansky

My path to mysticism started off with the Carmelite tradition. I've long since moved on, but it's interesting to go back & revisit the past in order to 'slay some demons'. And then find out they weren't demons after all. More in comments. #occult #witchsky #pagansky #occultism #thelema #magick

Ostensibly the penitent Magdalene but I reckon she's casting a secret spell #witchsky #pagansky #magick #spellcasting #occult #occultsky #occultism #chaosky #paganism #wicca #witchcraft

Daffodils today in Bishop Auckland. #daffodils #springflowers #springphoto

Wishing everyone a peaceful Spring Equinox. May this time of equal day & night bring a more balanced current to the world. #chaosky #thelema #witchsky #pagansky #springequinox #magick #occult #equinox

Anyone else reached a point when you know you've got to get off the path & chuck yourself into the fast moving current? All rivers lead to the formless chaos that is the sea. It's what rivers do. It's whether you want to be swept along with it or stick to a path. #chaosky #magick #occult

Another sea coal image. A reminder to stay fluid. #chaosky #93current #pagansky #chaossky #chaosmagick #thelema #occultism #occultsky

The 93 current. Sea coal on the beach yesterday. Tide is incoming. #93current #thelema #occultsky #loveisthelaw #chaosky #occultism #magick #chaossky #dualism #light&dark #yinyang #black&white #sand

Went to a different place for a walk chosen at random. Aiming for a standing stone but the path had been diverted and ended up nowhere near it. But came across this fabulous circle of trees.Sometimes the wrong way turns out to be the right way. #chaossky #chaosmagick #pagansky #trees #walking

What do you choose to see? This rubbish strewn urban wasteland or in the exact same spot but turning 180°, this beautiful sunset reflected in the river in the distance. Solar adoration yesterday. #chaosmagick #thelema #liberresh #aleistercrowleymanual #magick #occultsky #chaosky #occult

Seeking guidance from my allies. #chaosky #witchsky #occultsky #chaosmagick #trees #pagansky #ritualmagick

What would you do if you weren't afraid? Little children aren't afraid, they just do it. #affirmations #chaosky #collage #magician #metamorphosis #magick #occultsky #occultart

When lots of good stuff comes your way but you haven't enchanted for it yet. It had only been a stray thought in the back of your mind. And then you realise that causality is not quite as solid as you thought it was. #chaosky #chaosmagick #occultsky #occultism #beliefasatool #magick

Why The Glovemakers Daughter? It comes from an obscure reference in the novel Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell which is a story about English magic. Essentially it is the account of the Raven King, a powerful magician whose capital city during his 300 year reign was Newcastle upon Tyne. #chaosky

I love books. I love art. Books as art is a wonderful concept. These are in the British Library's free exhibition, a quick look-see before catching the train back up North. Well worth a visit if you are near. #bookart #britishlibrary #pagansky #moths #natureart #dusking #booksky

A brief pitstop in a wonderfully gothic graveyard on the way to celebrating Imbolc with London witches & pagans. A great ritual for a much needed intention. I don't know the London scene at all but it was good to join forces and chew the cud afterwards in the pub. #witchsky #occultsky #pagansky

I recently added this vintage book style layer to the bottom of my Victorian walking skirt & embroidered a chaos star. Nobody will see it but I know it's there. For an upcoming steampunk weekend #chaosky #chaosmagick #chaosstar #steampunk

Re-reading Alan Chapman. Our experiences should form the bedrock of our magical practice. Not someone else's theories, postmodern or otherwise. Easy to say, but I wonder how many people actually do this instead of rehashing someone else's thoughts. Thought and experience as Aleister Crowley put it.

Sometimes the place of initiation is one that you've been to literally a thousand times before. It's when your HGA whispers 'this is the one, and the time' and suddenly you get it. Initiation is an inner experience; someone else may set the scene, but they can't give you the experience. #chaosky

Arecurius, a native British god of the underworld. It's a shame how little is known about ancient English gods (Welsh & Irish fare slightly better) compared to other civilisations. And it took the Romans to tell us about them. #chaosky #pagansky #paganism #pagangods #underworldgods

The original chaosphere from Roman times....??! 😉 Found over much of Europe but purpose unknown. #chaosky #occultsky #chaosmagic #chaos #chaosphere

Apophenia: can you see the figure in the middle upper section slightly left of centre? Torso, arms, legs towards the centre. Left arm (our right) outstretched, fingers curled around - a candle? Hold aloft your light and let it shine for all to see in the chaos! #chaosky
