I had a recent question on how to figure true midnight on another thread about making the Talisman known as Hecate’s Key.  The querent also asked me if the spell would still work if she was “off” in calculating the time.
These are not uncommon questions, so I figured I’d repost my comment here as a [...]

This is actually a follow-up post to an earlier Q & A posted this week.  In addition to being asked if one can work magick when sick, I’ve also been asked if one can work healing magick for themselves when sick and how this process would potentially work.  It’s a common enough question that I [...]

Is it possible, through either meditation, astral travel, or ritual to contact those who have passed on? There are two people I’m interested in contacting; one, a member of my family and another a personal idol who I have never met but would love to express my eternal gratitude to for helping shape me as [...]

A while back, you wrote something on your blog about learning how to fly but not knowing how to land (or something like that).  I thought I would like to ask you about this as I think I have pretty poor grounding skills.  The magickal mind-frame is easy enough to achieve, but getting back out [...]

Quite often when I meditate, ground and center, or do rituals, I will experience a very strange sensation in the area of my forehead where my third eye would be.  It usually quickly escalates to headache proportions, sometimes severe enough to stop my meditative efforts, and will linger for a little while after I finish.  [...]

I’ve had a number of people in the last month or so ask me what they can do to help promote my writing and my website.  Most people know I’m in the midst of writing a couple of books and charting out some proposals for future things when I need a break from writing.  I’ll [...]

METHODS AND DIFFERENCES
There is a difference between performing an invocation upon yourself and having another person of the opposite sex perform the invocation.  I will say that in my personal practice, I use all three of the above levels of energetic connection.
I embody when I am poking fun at things, when I am being deliberately [...]

In a lot of the reading and researching I’ve been doing, many authors discuss drawing down the moon into the body of the Goddess.  I’ve been practicing for a while, so this concept is not new to me.  However, as my curiosity has grown with time, I have not been able to find a good [...]

Dear HPs. Haye, Blessed Be to you and yours!  I was just curious of how you interpret The Song of Solomon’s referrence to the Holy Spirit as a beautiful black woman?  Many of the Egyptian aspects (Dieties) are obviously that and from my current viewpoint, so much of Judeo-Christain tradition, both esoteric and exoteric, draws [...]
