Last updated on: September 12, 2016 at 9:55 am By Coby Michael Ward

In many traditions, there is a customary period of study and reflection for novices before initiation. Then there is the dreaded mire of “armchair occultism.” What about those of us whose insatiable hunger for occult wisdom drives us to reconcile the endless quest for knowledge with the desire to put that knowledge into practice. Drawing many of its customs from Western Esoteric traditions and ceremonial magic, it is customary in many Wiccan traditions for a novice to go through a period... Read more

Horned Deities and Divine Inspiration Throughout Human Evolution Here is a short reflection that I was inspired to write today as an introduction to a series of articles related to the various forms and imagery related to the god of witchcraft, the Horned God, or Witch Father. Since this topic spans so much history, and has been contributed to by many different culture’s esoteric beliefs for simplicity’s sake I am going to split them up into smaller themes and...

Sabbatic Witchcraft: An Explanation

Last updated on: August 29, 2016 at 6:06 am By Coby Michael Ward

Understanding the Sabbatic Current In order to understand sabbatic witchcraft we must first discuss its place of origin, the Cultus Sabbati. This was a term coined by the members of this tradition for communication purposes. The leader, known as Magister, at the time was the late Andrew D. Chumbley. The Cultus or “the sorcery of the Crooked Path,” operates as a vehicle for transmission of magical knowledge. This knowledge according to Chumbley comes from a single source known as magical quintessence,... Read more

Saturn and the Witch’s Zodiac

Last updated on: August 21, 2016 at 10:55 am By Coby Michael Ward

Saturn: Retrograde and Return Retrograde is an astronomical term that refers to a planet’s movement. All of the planets, except the sun an moon, will at some point have a retrograde orbit. When a planet is in retrograde its apparent or perceived movement is backwards to us on Earth. This is due to the varying times it takes the planets to orbit the sun. Sometimes planets pass one another, and this causes a distortion in the perception of its orbit.... Read more

This time of year is marked by the burning rays brought down by the Dog Star Sirius, signaling the scorching heat that can come during the “dog days” of summer. The same light that provided nourishment for the green world now parches the earth. This is the last gasping breath of summer, whose days have grown steadily shorter since the solstice. The dark god of the Wildwood, leader of the Wild Hunt comes to claim his throne. The light god... Read more
