Predicting Time With The Tarot

Last updated on: April 22, 2020 at 5:54 pm By Mat Auryn

One of the most difficult things when reading tarot can be determining the timing of an event. This is the question that I get asked a lot about by querents as well as tarot readers. There’s a few ways that this can be done, some involving knowledge of astrology, and some that don’t need any knowledge at all regarding timing. In this article when discussing imagery of a card, I am referencing the artwork of the Rider-Waite-Smith deck. Determining Seasons with the Ace Cards... Read more

Review: The Sorcerer’s Secrets

Last updated on: April 20, 2020 at 5:45 pm By Mat Auryn

Jason Miller defines “sorcery” as somewhere between witchcraft and ceremonial magick with a focus on getting real results. That’s exactly what you will get with The Sorcerer’s Secrets: Strategies in Practical Magick. The book is also somewhere halfway between a grimoire and a training course, but it is completely filled with some amazing insight, ideas and tips that come from experience. His ideas are some that I’ve never seen in other books. This book alone completely changed how I approach giving... Read more

Review: Ecstatic Witchcraft

Last updated on: April 20, 2020 at 5:39 pm By Mat Auryn

Gede Parma sees witchcraft as an inherently shamanic and ecstatic practice, which I strongly resonate with. In his book Ecstatic Witchcraft: Magick, Philosophy & Trance in the Shamanic Craft he compares and contrasts the practices of witchcraft with that of shamanic traditions in the vein of Emma Wilby’s Cunning-Folk and Familiar Spirits: Shamanistic Visionary Traditions in Early Modern British Witchcraft and Magic. However, Ecstatic Witchcraft is written in a much more accessible and easier to follow manner. Unlike Wilby’s book,... Read more

Review: The Devil’s Dozen

Last updated on: April 20, 2020 at 5:34 pm By Mat Auryn

As a Traditional Cornwall Witch, Gemma Gary looks at the darker aspects of the God of the Witches as initiator, psychopomp and guide of the powers of the witch in her book, The Devil’s Dozen: Thirteen Craft Rites of the Old One. While the name “the Devil” causes discomfort and unease among many neo-pagan and outsiders, it is part of this “forbidden”, wild and perhaps even dangerous taboo of energy and history of the Horned God of the Witches that...
