    The Age of Black Magic: Step Eight

    The Doorway To Hell Sigil   This is an important sigil to memorize and use for curses, and virtually any other attempt to access the netherworld of the dead and uncanny spirits. It, and variations of it, appear on an extremely large number of katadesmoi and defixios. I’ve concluded that contextually it is the symbol…

    The Rings of The Fortunate Mystic

    THE RINGS OF THE FORTUNATE MYSTIC: Fortunated Moon applying to conjoin Alcyone culminating with the North Node Ascending in Perfection.

It requires the use of a Pleiades Ring from the Quindecim Stellis and any other Pleiades talismans you might have handy.

    Mercury Retrograde Is My Ally

    So, I guess this is what happens when you’re an astrological magician and Mercury goes Retrograde– Companies send you $1100 Movado wristwatches completely randomly, and don’t bill you for them. Magic is awesome. Also, please tell me how Mercury Retrograde is awful. For you, maybe. PS: Things like this happen to me relatively frequently during…
