Interview With A Witch – Stuart Inman On Alex Sanders, Buddhism & 1734 Witchcraft

Last updated on: July 13, 2018 at 1:12 pm By Ian Chambers

Stuart Inman has been a respected and revered friend and colleague for a long time now and is one of those people who has experience and knowledge aplenty. From his earliest involvement with Wicca under the tutelage of Alex Sanders, immersion in Tibetan Buddhism, to becoming one of the foremost exponents of Traditional Witchcraft and a guardian of the 1734 tradition and method, Stuart is an authority on Surrealism and also the magister of the Clan of the Entangled Thicket....

The Ever Changing Face of Witchcraft

Last updated on: July 13, 2018 at 11:59 pm By Ian Chambers

Anybody with an Instagram account has probably become aware of a social and cultural movement that is focussed upon the enabling of young people, in particular women, to take personal sovereignty over key facets of their lives. Described as ‘witchcraft’, with tags such as #witchesofinstagram, this is not spellcraft, charming or cursing as we have understood it in the past. Rather, it is a lifestyle movement that empowers the ‘witch’ to that personal sovereignty using such methods as power moves,... Read more

Visualisation – Eyes Wide Open

Last updated on: July 9, 2018 at 10:59 pm By Ian Chambers

Visualisation (or visualization in the USA), is one of those skills that is referred to in a common parlance, dropped into conversation concerning magic, mysticism and the esoteric arts with a frequency that assumes not only understanding but ability. Furthermore, new and aspiring occultists might infer from the regularity of the term that it is a basic ability with which everybody is familiar, that all occultists are capable of conjuring a blue white pentagram before them at will. Allow me... Read more

Midsummer Celebration at The Museum of Witchcraft and Magic

Last updated on: June 25, 2018 at 6:13 pm By Ian Chambers

Boscastle, Cornwall, UK. 23rd June 2018. The Midsummer went off in a traditional manner at the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic in Cornwall, UK, with a celebration that marked the fire festival in a beautiful way. Nestled on the horn of land which is Cornwall, tucked away in the North Cornish coast and hidden in the valley by the craggy, rolling scoops of hills, Boscastle is a place where two rivers conjoin before winding out into the harbour to meet...

Interview With Mat Auryn

Last updated on: June 14, 2018 at 8:10 pm By Ian Chambers

Recently, I have wanted to get perspectives and insights from a few of those individuals who have inspired and influenced my philosophy, approach and witchcraft, and who I believe have a considerable amount to contribute to the community. It is my firm determination that these voices should be made available for those who wish to learn more. One of those significant voices is Mat Auryn, whom I am glad to call colleague as a fellow author for Patheos Pagan... Read more

The Welsh Occult Conference 2018

Last updated on: June 8, 2018 at 3:35 pm By Ian Chambers

On Saturday, 2nd June, we made our merry way to the debut of what is hoped to be a long lasting occult conference in Powys, Wales. The Welsh Occult Conference is organised by author and alchemist Gary St. Michael Nottingham, who previously had been the force behind the tremendously successful Ludlow Esoteric Conference. It was glorious, then, to see his return in this debut conference in beautiful rural Wales. Despite the occasional setback, my understanding partner and I arrived in... Read more

The Angelic System of Dr John Dee and Me…

Last updated on: June 4, 2018 at 7:00 pm By Ian Chambers

I have a confession to make: Several years ago, and without any indication or prior warning, I found myself engulfed in the Angelic system of Dr John Dee, Elizabethan polymath, alchemist and mystic. In the journey through paganism and witchcraft, I had become fairly confident in my area of study and practice. Furthermore, I was grounded in my path and was able to read and discover peripheral works and see how thy might relate or syncretise, or even describe... Read more

Working Magic With The Angelic Forces

Last updated on: June 1, 2018 at 3:22 pm By Ian Chambers

Working magic with angelic forces is an aspect of the Western Mystery Tradition which has pervaded most systems and traditions for centuries. From the late medieval magicians and astrologers, to the later nineteenth-century Hermeticists and occultists, the angelic forces have had held an inclusive position. Read more

The Lunar Gospel – Book Review

Last updated on: May 28, 2018 at 8:33 pm By Ian Chambers

There’s little point in denying it, May started out really well for me with a trip to London to meet chum Jason Mankey and attend his talk at The Atlantis Bookshop, followed by celebrating Beltane at an ancient farm with a burning wicker man. Whilst meeting with Jason, his lovely wife and Megan Manson (a veritable assembly of the London arm of the Patheos Pagan Illuminati), I was presented with The Lunar Gospel by Cal Garrison. It’s been such a busy... Read more

Finding Yourself in Nature

Last updated on: May 25, 2018 at 12:22 pm By Ian Chambers

In working with witchcraft, paganism and the occult there is a spectrum of views regarding whether working should be performed inside the temple, or outdoors. The thinking in this area ranges from the polarising extremes, from those who insist that all work should be carried out inside, to those who counsel us to work solely out of doors. However, the factors of modern living must be taken into account in every instance, the demands on our lives and the immediacy... Read more
