But when we crave power over life—endless wealth, unassailable safety, immortality—then desire becomes greed. And if knowledge allies itself to that greed, then comes evil. Then the balance of the world is swayed, and ruin weighs heavy in the scale.

I've been reading about Toki Pona, a constructed mini-language with less then 200 words. There's a writing system as well. It's partly inspired by Taoist philosophy & supposedly encourages speakers to concentrate on basic things. #chaosky #chaosMagick #WitchSky #occult #Occultsky

Australian artist and witch Rosaleen Norton (1917-1979) was devoted to the god Pan, whom she believed ‘is the spirit whose body — or such of it as can be seen in these four dimensions (the fourth being time) — is the planet Earth.’ #InternationalWomensDay

Wondering if I should conduct another hunt for the Heritage Witch for this year‘s Walpurgisnacht to help gear up for the midterms… Is that something folks would be interested in? You can read about the ritual and documentation from previous workings here: drive.google.com/file/d/1MG1R... #chaosky

Has anyone read Joscelyn Godwin's Harmonies of Heaven and Earth: Mysticism in Music from Antiquity to the Avant-Garde? Is it worth a look? Does anyone have any recommendations on book that cover the intersection of music and the occult? #chaosky #chaosMagick #WitchSky #occult #Occultsky #pagansky

So glad @cmnpod.bsky.social mention authoritarianism! "If you accept a world that is full of pluralities, a world that is ungrounded and arbitrary, you are left with one option, and that is to be responsible for the world." Great episode all around, but brilliant around 26:00 -> 30:00. #chaosky

There are rumours it is considering introducing a 'commercial research exception' for AI training. This would be disastrous. It would mean handing the life's work of British creatives to AI companies for free, to train their models on. 2/4

What are some depictions of magic in film/tv that you feel really captures what real world magic looks or feels like? What are some of the most accurate depictions, or what scenes evokes the same sort of sensory or somatic experiences of performing ritual magic? #witch #pagan #occult

Okay highly amused watching Supernatural for the first time. Season 10 they have a tulpa mention (ugh), but then Sam says "It's not a tulpa" and Dean says to put some Schwarzenegger on it and imitates "It's not a tumour". This came out after my article www.blueflamemagick.com/index.php/20... 1/?

Something I found when I lived in London was that maps - as abstractions of reality - are interesting things to play with from an occult POV. Korzybski said "The map is not the territory" & that's an importing thing to understand. #chaosky #chaosMagick #WitchSky #occult #Occultsky #pagansky

Stolas is a Prince out of the Ars Goetia. He can teach astronomy, and is knowledgeable about plants, herbs and precious stones. Often depicted as a raven, or a crowned owl with long legs. #SuperbOwl

I have always found that Angels have the vanity to speak of themselves as the only wise; this they do with a confident insolence sprouting from systematic reasoning. - #WilliamBlake

This just arrive. My first thoughts are that it's a really beautifully designed and put together book. It's a little small, but it is a niche subject. A quick skim has shown a couple of areas that I would question. #chaosky #chaosMagick #WitchSky #occult #Occultsky #pagansky

Witch Tip: Give names or titles to your tools. This can help you subtly shift away from viewing them as inert objects and begin to perceive them as active allies in your Craft. #WitchSky #OccultSky #PaganSky

Who was the first modern pagan? That is, who was the first person in modern times to embrace revived pre-Christian religion? The answer may surprise you.

Ooooh, now I love this kind of small scale, big ideas labour of love folklore fiction project. Reminds me of the 'zines of old. Literally just found this today, and can't believe that @mugwortmagazine.bsky.social doesn't have a wider reach on here. I mean, their output is free, for a start!

Kenneth Anger: How I Made Lucifer Rising Fascinating and very funny interview with Anger by Chris Michael of s8cinema about the making his occult classic, Marianne Faithfull, Bobby Beausoleil and how an anti-British massacre paid for his film. s8cinema.com/en/2024/05/3...

Do you practice the Tarot? Given all the fantastic decks out there, what's your favorite? I tend to use the Rider–Waite–Smith deck & more for meditation then divination, (though that's somewhat complicated). #chaosky #chaosMagick #WitchSky #occult #Occultsky #pagansky

St Brigid’s Day (1 Feb) echoes Imbolc and the Irish Christian calendar of the arrival of spring. St Brigid known for her work with poor and also respected as a feminist and environmentalist.But her story is entwined with much older figure. Brigid #Folklore www.tourismireland.com/trade/news/a...

Play is a form of magick. Even five minutes of curiosity, doodling, or wandering without purpose can spark inspiration and realignment. ✨💜 #WitchSky

Old school #witches (including women, minorities, and bipoc) for literally hundreds of years: "Hex the system, let's hex the patriarchy." Modern #whitewitches who are benefited by the system, talking in their fancy podcasts: "If you curse people, *the universe* will give you more reasons to curse"
