There are a near infinite number of ways to come to walk the path of an Initiate. Some are drawn to it by life events and an innate craving for something more. Others stumble upon it, not fully aware that they’ve even begun until they look back on the lessons they’ve learned. Among those myrid […]

Metaphysical Monday: 93
I find it oddly symbolic that my graduation year is also one of the key numerological conecpts in one of the many metaphysical systems I’ve looked into over the years. For me, the number represented an amazing change in being. A freeing from many of the things that held me back from knowing–let alone being–who […]

Metaphysical Monday: Groundhog Day
Today (or yesterday, depending on who you ask or how you want to measure days) is Imbolc, the mid-winter holiday of the general Pagan calendar. While not technically the darkest of the dark days of winter, for those of us in the non-tropical regions of the northern hemisphere, it sure does kick of what is […]

Irony Intrudes
Last week, I planned to kick off a little four part series here on the elements. As homage to my seemingly endless problems with water being where water shouldn’t be, I was going to start off with that element and work my way through the other three over the rest of the month. That plan […]

An Invitation to Fellow Searchers
Things have been quiet here for quite a while. A lot of that has to do with my own re-investigation of myself, a renewal of old habits and a rediscovery of misplaced interests. Looking back, the past year was kind of sparse with personal spirtitual development. I got a little lost for a while digging […]

Metaphysical Monday: Secrecy and the Magickal Arts and Sciences (Part I)
Once upon a time, there were two types of magickal practice: that which happened in large (clan or village-wide celebrations of holidays), public group ceremonies and that which happened in small, specialized groups (the Shaman taking his apprentice on a vision quest). When strong and inflexible regimes came into power–groups who preached their way was […]

Metaphysical Monday: A quick thought on perspective
As you work a spiritual path, you become aware of many things. With some work, that awareness grows into insight. Sometimes, that insight goes to your head. You begin to be able to make certain predictions. You begin to realize things about people without them telling you and without any normal evidence to support it. […]

Metaphysical Monday:Magic, According to Clarke and Niven
Anyone who watches fantasy films or so much as dabbles in most role playing games knows how magic is portrayed. It’s flashy stuff. Fireballs. Magic Missiles. Shape shifting. All sorts of spectacular things. And then there’s the big-deal illusionists that we all grew up with–David Copperfield, Blackstone, Doug Henning and their more contemporary counterparts like […]

Metaphysical Monday: Evolution vs. Revolution
Both evolution and revolution are hot topics these days. One for its place in the education world. The other for its place in the political world. What many people don’t seem to realize is how similar the concepts of evolution and revolution as we know them in the external world are to how they apply […]

Metaphysical Monday: Why Seek Destruction?
Following my intro post of the End Times series, a reader wrote to me: I find it interesting, that at a time in history when life has never been better (lowest infant mortality rates, highest life expectancy rates etc), we humans, like all humans before us, still believe the world will end in our lifetime.
