Prepare your priest, oh, medicine, good medicine; Still the heart, oh saints and spirits; Prepare me for the little death, the good death, Oh spirits who live beneath the sea. At every moment take care of us; Bless these bodies, protect us as we sleep And the spirits fly about us in the trees.(1) Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law Thi...
Dew as the Philosophers Vitriol - Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law Having written two weeks ago about various expressions of the vessel as cup, chalice, cauldron and grail, I am brought to the question of what fills this cup. This comes from a recent purchase of mine, Alchemy and Mysticism by Alexander Roob (Taschen) being a book of art of the Western mystery tradit...
I am terrified by this dark thing That sleeps in me Sylvia Plath, Elm Oedipus and the Sphinx Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law Today as my 'D' post for the Pagan Blog Project I would like to dive a bit of a spiel on the Double, known in German as the Doppelgänger (Double-Walker) and to the Jungians as the 'shadow'.

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law As you know I have done some work here and elsewhere around the question of sexual identity and gender identification.

An Understanding of the Receptacle in the Western Mystery Tradition Quest is at the heart of what I do-the holy grail, and the terror that you'll never find it, seemed a perfect metaphor for life. Jeanette Winterson Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law It is a sad fact that the basic weapons or tools used in the manifold branches of the...
Including children in ritual can be a very warm and rewarding experience. Though if one’s never Circled with children before, planning a ritual to include them may leave one drawing a blank. Children have a natural interest and curiosity for all the natural world and they take easily to magickal workings. They also function on a more spontane...
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law The following piece has arisen from a recent viewing of the 1994 film 'The Crow', a gothic occult thriller in which the lead character is brought back to life by a crow who acts as a kind of 'reverse psychopomp'. A psychopomp is an animal who acts as a guide and protector, ensuring safe passage from ...
He who seduced me first, I could not forget, I did not love you, But desired to taste, A new sin, sensation, Embraced by your lust. Not sorrow nor fear, These sensations replaced, With sudden arms embrace, My shrinking body, And brought a blush, A show of self. No pain, no shame, You turned my veins to fire, Whelmed with the eage...

Many religions feature an altar as part of their worship and Wicca is no different. But, despite what many would have you believe, an altar is more than just a place to store your magickal tools. An altar is a dedicated space to your interaction with your Gods, that is why when you are not actively using your altar it is more precisely called a *sh...
