A New Version (with Commentary) of the Armenian Definitions by fvathynevgl!

Gosh, it's already been two years since my Reading the Hermetica blogpost series kicked off; how time flies, and how much changes in such a short time!  Granted that making series of posts isn't a terribly uncommon thing for me, that one is one I'm proud of, since not only did that series do what I could to help make the classical Hermetic texts more accessible, but also offers no little bit of…

Ritual of Adoration of the Perfect Nature

I think I speak for us all when I say that it's fascinating to watch how our own evolution of practices and rituals changes over time.  Seeing how influences and trends come and go, practices get developed and set aside, focuses of research arise and abate always gives me a lot to think about, seeing them all like waymarks on a long trip or reminiscing on a walk around town about past dates or adventures.

Icons of the Solar Guardians of the Directions (by, and with many thanks to, Satyr Magos!)

It has, admittedly, been a little quiet around here.  While being online in general is always an excitement, and especially in these exciting times of ours where there's never a dull moment (no matter how much we wish there were), my big creative focus has continued to be on the Hermetic Synaxis stuff I mentioned last year.  It's a hefty work, and I'm as much impressed as I am in…

I’ll be presenting at Esotericon Northwest in June 2026!

It's been quiet here lately, I admit; between the chaos of the old year ringing in the new, making almanacs for 2026 for people,  using a pickaxe to dig out my way through snowcrete in this bitterly cold winter, teaching my Hermetic Synaxis stuff to my test group (it's going fantastic with the testers!), and...well, , it's been a bit of a busy time.

Reading the Kybalion: Conclusion and Comparison with the Hermetic Texts

For this week's Reading the Kybalion discussion, we're exhaustedly wrapping up The Kybalion, focusing on comparing and contrasting the Kybalion against the classical Hermetic texts. Just to start, let's recount where we've been with all this mess and give an index of posts: History, overview, and perceptions Title Page, Introduction, Chapter I (Hermetic Philosophy) Chapter II (Seven Hermetic…

Reading the Kybalion: Chapter XV (“Hermetic Axioms”) and General Follow-up

For this week’s Reading the Kybalion discussion, we're woefully continuing our reading and discussion of The Kybalion, focusing on chapter XV ("Hermetic Axioms"). This week's adverb for the reading is "woefully" because we still (somehow) have more to read, but in reality, we should feel a bit of relief; this is the last week we have to read anything we haven't yet from the Kybalion, since we're…

Reading the Kybalion: Chapters XIII (“Gender”) and XIV (“Mental Gender”)

For this week’s Reading the Kybalion discussion, we're lamentably continuing our reading and discussion of The Kybalion, focusing on chapters XIII ("Gender") and XIV ("Mental Gender"). Only a few chapters left, my friends; we've made it through six of the Kybalion's principles, and now we're on the last, the ridiculous and risible principle of gender. Unfortunately, WWA has seen fit to break it…

Reading the Kybalion: Chapters XI (“Rhythm”) and XII (“Causation”)

For this week’s Reading the Kybalion discussion, we're deplorably continuing our reading and discussion of The Kybalion, focusing on chapters XI ("Rhythm") and XII ("Causation"). Last week, we discussed two of the Kybalion's principles, vibration and polarity, complete with all the bad science and worse understandings that WWA proliferates in his work. WWA is taking an incremental approach where each…
