Last updated on: January 31, 2019 at 8:23 am   By Mat Auryn

Unlike our current dominant mainstream religious ideology, in witchcraft, the soul is most often seen and worked with as plural and not singular. Read more

Review: The Stars Within The Earth

Last updated on: April 15, 2020 at 12:09 am   By Mat Auryn

The more my own ecstatic practices of mysticism in my Craft develop, the more I’m finding that many experiences and epiphanies can only be expressed through prose and art, if only to capture and preserve the slightest glimpse of the experience. Read more

Review: Queer Magic

Last updated on: January 31, 2019 at 8:29 am   By Mat Auryn

Queer history is often suppressed and swept under the rug - especially when it comes to religion. The act of learning about the rich history of queerness around the globe is extremely empowering, especially to those who grew up being taught that its unnatural or even somehow something modern, unspiritual, and "perverted". Read more

Embracing Christian Spirits As A Witch

Last updated on: January 31, 2019 at 8:32 am   By Mat Auryn

Why would I embrace deities and spirits foreign to me and reject those that my own ancestors worked with or worshipped? Why must I view things from the point of view of Christianity where it's an either/or situation? Had I not been paying attention to all those books on Traditional Witchcraft? Read more

Judika Illes on Folklore, Witches, and Saints

Last updated on: December 12, 2018 at 4:45 pm   By Mat Auryn

I would like to emphasize that not all saints are Christian. The concept of saints predates Christianity but has since been hijacked by the Vatican. Although not all spiritual traditions and religions have saints, most do. Read more

Witchcraft Is About Seeking Power

Last updated on: March 31, 2019 at 4:15 pm   By Mat Auryn

Do not be fooled, Witchcraft is about power. In fact, that seems to be one of the commonly agreed aspects which distinguishes Witchcraft from other practices and traditions. Read more

Deepen Your Practice & Deepen Your Magick

Last updated on: April 1, 2019 at 1:54 pm   By Mat Auryn

Witchcraft is often considered a crooked path that weaves serpentine-like between the right hand and left hand paths. I am not convinced that this path has a destination, but rather that the path itself is about the journey. I suspect that this serpentine path is actually ouroboric. Read more

One of the things that I'm always surprised is never emphasized enough when beginning psychic development work or magickal studies is the importance of hydration. Read more

Remember, Death Will Always Win

Last updated on: January 31, 2019 at 8:32 am   By Mat Auryn

We are creatures who ignore the fact that our time here is fleeting, and as such, procrastinate on many things. Things that would fill us with regrets if we never accomplished. This is perhaps why ghosts are often explained as having unfinished business that's preventing them from moving on - a notion that I'm not entirely sure that I believe or not. A notion that is nonetheless poetically powerful. Read more
