Every day, we pass through an ever-changing sea of energy. Some of it is common and well-known. Electromagnetic fields from household appliances, power lines and the field generated by the Earth itself. Static electricity from dragging your feet on a rug when it’s dry out. The all too familiar kinetic energy of stubbing your toe […]

Metaphysical Monday: ESPers
Spurred by some recent conversations, I thought I’d toss this idea out there. It’s a topic that often comes up in conversation when the situation allows (or when I deftly insert it) and sometimes leads to fantastic discussions. I’ve had an interest in parapsychology for a good long time. For a little while, I even […]

Metaphysical Monday: Haunting
OK, so this isn’t what I planned on writing for this week. But I was sitting around watching a few episodes of a show about hauntings and this struck me as something interesting to bring up. In most reports of hauntings I’ve seen portrayed on TV or that I’ve read about, there are a number […]

Don’t you just hate it…
…when you get into writing something–like, half-way thorough–and realize that it’s actually the second part of a series rather than the first part you originally thought it was? That’s what’s happened with this week’s Metaphysical Monday. So the good news is, next week’s is half done. The bad news is, I came to this realization […]

Metaphysical Monday: Evolving Universe, Inside and Out
More prompted by questions from intelligent friends of mine. This time around, the question is: I sometimes wonder if magick isn’t really just a glorified self improvement activity. Is magick ultimately just a life philosophy. Or does it involve something more? If so, what? This dovetails nicely with my last bit on egregore and the […]

Metaphysical Monday: Egregore and the Created Self
In 1972, a group of Canadian paranormal researchers undertook an experiment to contact a fictional ghost. That group was the Toronto Society for Psychical Research and in 1972 they documented quite the successful set of senances and other instances of contact with their created spirit, Philip in what is commonly known as The Philip Experiment. […]

And on another note entirely…
I fiddled around a bit with some stuff on The Searcher Journal site. There’s a new template in place (mostly stock with some little modifications by me) and a brand-spanking new header image (bonus points to anyone who can identify it). If you normally read this through a feed (like LiveJournal), take a minute to […]

Metaphysical Monday: Arts and Sciences
From what I’ve seen, there are two equally valid ways of looking at magickal practice. One view is what I call the magickal arts. The other I see as magickal sciences. Now, before anyone gets all up in arms about “magickal science” being an oxymoron (which I will not argue one bit if it’s taken […]

Metaphysical Monday: In Perfect Love and Perfect Trust (Part IV)
It all started nearly a month ago when a friend of mine posed the questions: 01. how does someone come to earn your trust? 02. how long do you need to get to know someone before letting them in on personal information about you? 03. once someone has earned your trust and becomes a trusted […]

Metaphysical Monday: In Perfect Love and Perfect Trust (Part III)
All of this was spawned by three questions a good friend of mine posed a while ago. 01. how does someone come to earn your trust? 02. how long do you need to get to know someone before letting them in on personal information about you? 03. once someone has earned your trust and becomes […]
