Logistics of Spirit
Power is the logistics of spirit. Where does it come from and reside? The cycles, the memory, the creative potential energy. It could be seen as the ground of all other energies. The grand unified field of physics. Power is lost when we break it into pieces as our minds so love to do? Basically, yes. …

Power Is Not Force
Power. It’s a very complicated topic in a way, and yet not as complicated as people make it.

Power of the Trickster
How do we use the power of the trickster? The power of the trickster is to some degree behind all occult practices. To do a great work you must be prepared to put aside your belief in “the truth.” To create anything truly new, you have to reject other ideas. Invention comes from seeing a…
