Evolving Earth
Every place has a “spirit”, a perceivable essence be that chi or a genius loci. Places themselves have seemed very alive throughout human history. In fact, the “gods” referred to in feng shui were originally perceived spirits native to a place. A tree, a large stone, etc., basically very similar to Shinto kami. The Earth…

Hauntings
When they are investigating possible hauntings one of the first things they look to, because it is established, is weird electrical fields, faulty wiring and such. They do have an impact on human consciousness, and in my own experience it is possible to tell the difference. I suffered from a juvenile seizure disorder, and I…

Sacred Power
Does the theory of sacred places pertain to virtual spaces? Yes, and any energy that moves you closer to zero point resonance, which rather than being a void or empty headed state is more like highly amplified alpha wave brain function, can serve as a sacred place. The value of adding things to a sacred…

Using the Power
Tuning in is like wireless internet the old way. Our legends of information being shared over great distances, by any who focused on feeling the power in the world, are so common as to be refutable only in particular elements, not the phenomenon itself. Mentally text someone for free as long as they’re in your…

Spirit Awakening
Documentation on how sacred places were located is scattered. They used pendulums or dowsing rods and many of the legendary water spirits were believed to dwell at places that were basically sacred sites, and not every sacred site welcomed everyone. Some only the village Shaman entered because of what they did with their energy. For…

Circular Thought
Tonight, we are discussing circles. Perhaps I should get right to the heart of the topic and work out from there. Properly ordered thought is circular thought, and much as that may sound irrational, what is our life, as we perceive it, other than sets of seemingly self evident premises? Our unconscious minds follow that…

Central Observer Self
What would you say best symbolizes modern thinking? Nature itself favours circles, cells, DNA helix patterns, which looked at from the top down would look like a wheel. What about a grid? We think like our maps? Indexes. We want to partition, quantify and monetize everything. We think square in a round world? Exactly. We work…

Breaks in the Circle
Let’s lay a grid over our mandala of observer and beliefs. Now as you navigate this model, you have to obey all the lines you encounter. How smoothly does the grid covered mandala flow? It doesn’t mesh. Let’s give our inner mind all the credit we can then, and add the rule that whenever you…

Order is Us
Can our circles remain unbroken forever? Can we, through any effort of keeping order in our lives, prevent this? It seems myopic or stunted to me. In the breaking and reforming of the circles is mankind’s evolution. Would that get boring if they were never broken? True on both counts. They will inevitably be intersected.…

Hyperspace Between the Circles
If all our circles are intersecting with each other, would it be logical to say circles seek other circles for awareness/experience? It would. This is why ceremonial magicians of the west think of the circles as giving them the ability to command the spirits. It doesn’t actually do that. It just sets the scene for…

Magick Circles in Life
You don’t have to learn elaborate rituals to use or understand the role of the magick circle in your life. You can find them readily enough in your daily activities, in the routes you take through your community as you go about your daily affairs, in your pattern of sleeping, really any cycle you care…
Category: Sacred Places
Every place has a “spirit” and the earth itself is a spirit. The lesser spirits of the land are the direct children of the earth mother. Think of the power spots as being high energy traffic areas. The powers you deal with are everywhere, but if you need to recharge you can either create a focus or go to a natural one.

“Domestic altars are deliberately set into the everyday, as a way of infusing the ordinary with the sacred. It doesn’t take a whole room to create a place to worship.” David Bennett
“Place matters to us. We often call it sacred ground where earth meets heaven.” William Cooke
