Where is this type of thinking in the Democratic party? Look below the conspiracist, paranoid, death cult facade - some Magites have real grievances. Margery TG - as odious as her past has been - shows they can make sense. Bernie gets the econ but not the cultural side. substack.com/@lucid/note/...

It’s here! Abulafia is a major kabbalistic mystic. He represents the second branch of Kabbalah, the ecstatics. They work from within a Neo-Aristotelian-Sufic framework. His methods of reaching unio mystica are awesome.

Somewhat like William James and CD Broad, he investigated the possibility of making sense from the paranormal oracular statements and the states they could induce in those speaking oracles. youtu.be/qeBaK-gRB1U

Look. no one in the US cares about Maduro. He's a thug, plain and simple. He deserves what he gets. But if anyone sees this "operation" - or whatever BS word they're calling it - as anything more than a "hit" carried out by a mob boss, you're wrong. Done at the behest of the godfather, Putin.

The question about the reality of the gods - are they psychological manifestations or imaginative creations - is a real inquiry requiring an answer. With quantum mechanics and its relationship to consciousness, we simply can’t think of humans as the only conscious entities in existence.

Happy New Year! It is a time of beginning and renewal. A time to recall the purity of your being and the light of your soul. These are terrifying times for many. Violent men rape and pillage the material world, lay waste the psychic landscape. Hekate waits. She guides to health and safety.

Many ask, what is the proper attitude when you meditate or pray. The proper approach is always to attain a state of nothingness, where anything is possible. This quote from a Hasidic text captures the attitude I think we must cultivate: Before he begins to pray, he should reflect [upon the fact]

this is v interesting, and i wonder about the nature of not-uncommon anecdotal experiences some practitioners have shared (myself included!!) merging mary and what we assumed to be the greek hekate. “lightning” refs also have me percolating smth about mabon and modron but gotta do more research!!

Heroes are being bad mouthed these days. What with Hollywood and that ilk, why not? But true heros don't make the comic books or streaming service. ... Hang and do a heroic thing.,

Who is Chaldean Hekate? With the modern resurgence of interest in and devotion to Hekate it is important to realize that the Hekate of the Greco-Roman mythology and the theurgic Hekate of the Chaldean Oracles have a different divine status and modes of activity.

Group of Artemis and Iphigenia, ca.150 BC - Artemis’s feast day was yesterday. Hail Great goddess! Here she is depicted saving Iphigeneia from being sacrificed by Agammemnon who killed one of Artemis’s sacred deer. The goat was substitued at the last minute for the girl, who became her priestess.

Menstrual blood is sacred. There is no reason that menstrutation should bar anyone from participating in or enacting a rite. In my mind, menstruation should be a time of heightened sacredness. Sex during menstruation can be a highly significant rite. substack.com/@theurgist/n...

Today I celebrate the Philomeidesion to honor Aphrodite. Hail mighty goddess, May your love shine in all things in this season of joy. And teach us lawful desires in an age when powerful men desecrate innocence and destroy the bloom of beauty in young lives. May your love reign over all.

Putin’s hiding behind the facade of fighting supernatural evil. Typical Christo-fascist trick of wrapping itself in good to perpetrate even more heinous evil.

What does a theurgical ethical regimen look like? In many ways, it looks like what we see in the writings of Pierre Hadot and Martha Nussbaum. The Theurgist, Emperor Julian, is the key to understanding theurgic politics and ethics. substack.com/@theurgist

But when you see the formless, very holy fire shining by leaps and bounds throughout the depths of the whole world, (then) listen to the voice of the fire. Ἡνίκα δὲ βλέψῃς μορφῆς ἄτερ εὐίερον πῦρ λαμπόμενον σκιρτηδὸν ὅλου κατὰ βένθεα κόσμου͵ κλῦθι πυρὸς φωνήν. - fragment 148, Chaldean Oracles
