Od’s Man – Riding the Odic Force

Last updated on: March 27, 2018 at 6:47 am By Ian Chambers

The terms Od and Odic Force entered the language of those natural scientists who were examining the electro-magnetic energy fields of the human body in the 19th Century. Named for the Norse god Odhinn, this force was first discussed by Baron Carl von Reichenbach in 1845 as a kind of life force or vital energy and perhaps regarded as the Western scientific approach to those eastern concepts such as prana and qi. Unlike prana or qi, however, this energy was not intrinsically connected... Read more

Hope in Light: Hilaria and the Vernal Equinox

Last updated on: March 22, 2018 at 4:12 pm By Ian Chambers

In Luce Spesi In our discourse upon the feast of the Vernal Equinox, and the theme of hope in light, we have espoused the feminine flavour of the festivities which preside over the equal period of night and day. This, in turn, is analogous of the light and dark in balance, while the festival traditionally utilises the mystery of life and death illustrated in the paradox of the conception and crucifixion of the Christ upon the cross of the elements...

Last updated on: March 11, 2018 at 11:38 pm By Ian Chambers

The Wanderer is an anonymous Anglo-Saxon poem, ostensibly written in a narrative form, surviving in the 10th Century Exeter Book. Reflecting upon the condition of the poet and his world, The Wanderer includes classic AS moralising imperatives at its close, imparting the wisdom of the poet.

Well, you asked for it … There probably aren’t many pagans who have ever considered the Abramelin Operation, but it is something that nearly all will have heard of in some form. Whether it’s from the Abramelin oil or incense on the shelves of your local friendly occult shop, or the work of the Golden Dawn, MacGregor Mathers’ translation, elements of this grimoire have overshadowed pagan and occult works one way or another for 100 years.

Cycles in Time – The Myth of the Year

Last updated on: March 9, 2018 at 7:45 am By Ian Chambers

A Pagan myth of Christian origins, of pagan inception As Neopaganism matures, the unveiling of several layers of history and mythologising are gradually peeled away, revealing some fascinating and telling truths. Much of the pagan myths we live with today tend to be borne out of the romanticising of the Victorian era, and unfortunately reflect much of the fantasising and speculation that accompanied it. However, through the decades of living this paganism, certain truths have become regularised within the structures... Read more

(Harms, Clark and Peterson, 2015)⁠ This curious description of the daimōn of the East, Oriens, from the Book of Oberon provides a fascinating insight into the genius of the easterly wind, which is found commonly throughout the grimoire tradition of the Middle Ages.

The primary function of myth serves to inform our narrative in order that we may better relate to that first and great cosmic principle Life, allowing for understanding through the transformations undertaken during the measure of change that is Time. Most recently, that narrative has had to accommodate some rare weather phenomenon and see how the myth adapts or conforms to such occurrences which represent that outlier in the scheme of things. Indeed, one might argue that the test of... Read more
