The Power Of Cursing Yourself

Last updated on: August 2, 2019 at 4:32 pm By Mat Auryn

Along with limiting themselves, one of the things I constantly see people do is curse themselves. Many witches acknowledge that a curse doesn't have to be formal, but rather strong negative energy directed at someone, which has given rise in history to concepts such as "The Evil Eye." If ordinary people are able to curse in this manner it would only make sense that one who is an actively practicing witch can do so more powerfully. It also becomes pretty obvious that what we can do to another we can do to ourselves. Read more

Lightworkers & The New Age Witch

Last updated on: August 2, 2019 at 4:33 pm By Mat Auryn

A lot of our understanding of "Traditional Craft" is based on information from witch trials and folklore. So this is where I think many people seem to overlook something very obvious in regards to "lightworkers". If people practiced what we call lightworking today, they would without a doubt have been tried and executed for Witchcraft without any debate on it. That's because lightworking and the new age is perhaps the closest path to that of the witch and one with the most overlapping of practices, whether we go about it through the same means or not or we use a different vocabulary. Whether witches or lightworkers want to admit it to themselves. Read more

Review: Veneficium

Last updated on: August 1, 2019 at 11:24 pm By Mat Auryn

Veneficium: Magic, Witchcraft and the Poison Path by Daniel Schulke was partially what I was expecting it to be yet was still refreshingly full of surprises in its contents. What I was expecting was fantastic insights on poisonous plants through a lens that only someone like Schulke can. However, the book’s scope is so much more than just baneful flora within a magical context and included toxic and poisonous elements found within the corpses of humans and animals along with their effects.

Review: An Carow Gwyn

Last updated on: August 1, 2019 at 11:24 pm By Mat Auryn

An Carow Gwyn: Sorcery and the Ancient Fayerie Faith by Robin Artisson is his most complete work to date. What I mean by that is that within this book he provides a complete in-depth system of sorcery unlike any of his previous works. As the title suggests, the book is focused on the relationship between sorcerer and the fayerie. The book is massive coming in at 556 pages and being close to his anthology of musings Letters From The Devil’s Forest. Read more

In Memoriam: Raven Grimassi

Last updated on: August 2, 2019 at 4:33 pm By Mat Auryn

My heart is a bit heavier than normal today. With the passing of Raven Grimassi, we have lost another great witchcraft elder. Raven Grimassi is within the five most influential witches on my own path, and I know he was for many people as well. There's a profound depth to Grimassi that had to be experienced in person. He was a man very dedicated to the deeper mysteries of witchcraft, the earth, and the spirits. He spoke with a sense of wisdom, stillness, and clarity that can only come from decades of such deep connecti Read more

Discovering The Power Of Your Home Frequency

Last updated on: August 2, 2019 at 4:34 pm By Mat Auryn

In the tradition of witchcraft I am initiated into, The Sacred Fires Tradition, one of the first things we learn is the concept of the "home frequency." It is one of the single most powerful concepts that have changed my magick and my life. Every person's home frequency is different. To understand the name a bit more, it's the frequency in which you should be living your life from. It is where we always return to, regardless of our life or magickal activities. Read more

Review: Dame Fortune’s Wheel Tarot: A Pictorial Key

Last updated on: August 1, 2019 at 11:25 pm By Mat Auryn

While Dame Fotune's Wheel Tarot: A Pictorial Key is obviously meant to be a companion to Dame Fortune's Wheel Tarot deck, owning the deck isn't necessary for reading. Just reading through the book you'll gain fantastic insights on the origins and history of each tarot card, as well as more traditional symbolic interpretations of each. However, if you do have the deck, this book brings such great depth to that deck. I did several test runs with the deck and book - using only Huson's spreads and sticking solely to the interpretations he uses instead of my own. I'm happy to report that the accuracy of the deck is superior to many others I have come across. Read more

Review: Madame Pamita’s Magical Tarot

Last updated on: August 1, 2019 at 11:25 pm By Mat Auryn

I feel this book was immediately impressive. Not because it goes into a bunch of theorized personal ideas and interpretations of the tarot, but rather because Madame Pamita stays true to the classic tradition of tarot interpretation while giving it a contemporary voice. I would group it among some of the best authors and experts on the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot out there such as Rachel Pollack or Mary K. Greer. I think as more people discover and read Madame Pamita's Magical Tarot: Using the Cards to Make Your Dreams Come True that it's bound to become one of those classic tarot books out there. Read more

Review: Dame Fortune’s Wheel Tarot

Last updated on: March 31, 2019 at 1:53 am By Mat Auryn

Dame Fortune's Wheel Tarot is a deck by Paul Huson. Most witches will already be familiar with Paul Huson and his work, being the author of the classic 1970 book on witchcraft, Mastering Witchcraft. Paul Huson designed and illustrated this whole deck, which makes it extra awesome, since he's a master occultist and tarot expert. The deck itself is an interesting fusion of the classical symbolism of the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, the Etteilla deck and the Marseille deck. Read more
