Psychic Paths: Part 1

There are more paths than this. You may find in your practice that the reflective work is not clicking. There are common elements of the mind, but there are notable deviations also. Mine is one such. The Greeks used to seek out those who suffered from the condition I had as a juvenile to serve…

Psychic Paths: Part 2

There is a force in the world that makes the frogs stay in their ponds and guides the birds in their flights. Makes all things seek their place. It is not outside of you, but has a connection to things outside. In magick, it’s the law of affinity. The animals themselves need not normally seek…

Questioning Spiritual Paths

People doubt the overblown concepts, sensationalized belief systems, and I don’t think that’s bad. Spirituality should be just as subject to testing and evaluation as science and technology are. If there isn’t any readily available wisdom that you can apply then why believe it? How do you test spirituality? Do the doctrines or insights of…

Dark Paths

What would you say about someone who has killed a couple of hundred people, and accepts that, sleeping soundly knowing that only the dark part of his soul enables that same sleep? Is the soldier a criminal for having killed? Is someone who sees the world darkly an enemy for that view alone? I would…

Druid Paths

Sort of like Indian mysticism, the Druid recognized that spirituality isn’t a single path. They acknowledged three. The Druid as we know the word, who was the keeper of observances and the village Sage. The Ovate who was more like the Native American Shaman, seeker of spirits and signs, and psychopomp or spirit guide to…

Paths In Invocation

As you invoke the spirits, you accomplish two things. You learn from them, and thereby claim some of their wisdom as your own. You can use it even without calling for their help, and the same thing that applies to people applies to spirits. You rise or fall to the level of the company you keep.…

Paths of Yoga Suit Individual Temperament

The paths of yoga each suit an individual’s temper- ament differently, and everyone experiences some element of each of the aspects no matter what their personal nature makes them lean toward. For some, using the channel of love and devotion that our social circuits use just doesn’t engage them fully and leaves them uneasy. One…

Dimensional Paths

What is the difference between a nexus and a portal, if there is any? It’s a different class of portal, like the difference between an airport and a city intersection. Most portals are like the latter, just incidental meeting places. Most here on our earth are like that. The dimensional paths around us are primitive,…

Dragon Paths

The rituals of Taoist sorcery involve walking the “dragon paths” which mirror constellations in the sky. These dances, for lack of a better term, serve to unlock the inherited wisdom of the dragon emperors, the prehistoric “yellow” emperor having been one of them. A great many people are descended from those lines, even those who…

The world tree is today’s topic. It’s one of those more or less universal presences. No single country or culture originated the concept of the world tree, and what it represents ultimately is the axis mundi. We can’t really as a species conceive of an infinite world. The closest we can come is to identify…

Sith and Jedi Paths

Would you say the Sith path is evil? I wouldn’t. Is the Jedi path genuinely, completely good? Not as you describe it, but they do tend to blow up planets. Yes, there is that potential. The Jedi get twisted as well. Arguably, Jedi also tend to let planets get blown up, leaving it up to…
