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…

Reading the Kybalion: Chapters IX (“Vibration”) and X (“Polarity”)

For this week’s Reading the Kybalion discussion, we're grievously continuing our reading and discussion of The Kybalion, focusing on chapters IX ("Vibration") and X ("Polarity"). Last week, we finally got into the second half of this damnable mess of a book, having wrapped up a prolonged delving into the maze of twisty little passages (all alike, of course) of the Kybalion's definition and understanding…

Reading the Kybalion: Chapter VIII (“Planes of Correspondence”)

For this week’s Reading the Kybalion discussion, we're dismally continuing our reading and discussion of The Kybalion, focusing on chapter VIII ("Planes of Correspondence"). Last week, we finally wrapped up our sojourn into the Kybalion's exploration of mentalism and how it constructs (however sloppily and vaguely) its notion of "The All".  The Kybalion spent so much time on this because, being a New…

For this week’s Reading the Kybalion discussion, we're despondently continuing our reading and discussion of The Kybalion, focusing on chapters VII ("'The All' in All") and VIII ("Planes of Correspondence"). Last week, we continued our multichapter (and thus multiweek) sojourn into the Kybalion's definition and understanding of its own principle of mentalism, the idea that all is Mind and thus everything that…
