The fool, Lord Timothy Dexter and Emperor Norton I

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

Please join Scarlet Woman Lodge for a magical, mystical evening of fun!

The event is FREE and open to the public.

We’ll be hosting a community evening with feasting, fraternity, a silent auction, short talks on our initiatory system, and more!

The “three sisters” refer to the Native American tradition of growing corn, beans, and squash together as they help each other grow. Much like our three sisters, Scarlet Woman helps us to grow as well, both individually and as a community. Come see what we celebrate!

Time: 4:30 to 8:30 PM

Place: Suite 304, 1514 Ed Bluestein Blvd, Austin, TX 78721

Love is the law, love under will.

That could be fun ;)

Magick is everywhere

How cool is that? ;)

To Péladan, the point of magic was the creation of the free individual. We are not born individuals, Péladan taught, and our education and upbringing are designed to keep us from achieving individuality. “Society,” he wrote, “is an anonymous enterprise for living a life of secondhand emotions.”

Seems to be an interesting book

Exploring Mystical Union and Spiritual Embodiment in Jewish Mysticism with Professor Adam Afterman.

A great interview on the Secret History of Western Esotericism Podcast about new MA programs at Univ. of South Carolina and Exeter (UK) on the History of Magic and Occult Science. These are weird and exciting times.

Some history

Robert Anton Wilson had a profound effect on me as a 19 year old. His books introduced me to Korzybski, and I bought a copy of Science and Sanity to read on my lunch breaks, while I was working as a labourer on farms. It got me interested in maths, and I went to university to study electrical engineering (which Bob also studied) so I could understand the maths in the book.

A while ago I bought a copy of Trajectories (which can be found on the internet archive https://archive.org/details/chaosbeyondbesto0000wils/mode/2up). I was over joyed to discover that the book contained a personal letter from Bob that was hand signed. I've redacted personal info from it, and although it is a personal letter, I don't think Bob would mind, since he was quite open about his health issues later in his life.

I love the use of different calendars, highlighting the arbitrariness of time keeping in different cultures.

From the instance description: A witchy space for most any face! Whether a witch or a witch-respecter, join the coven that is free of fash, TERFs, feds, and bigots.

Are you a witch? Are you two witches? Do you like spells, and spell accessories? You've come to the right place!

Some "easy" magick.

New Thinking Allowed with Jeffrey Mishlove

New wave of Magick? Sad and optimistic at the same time.

Science in magick

Long interview with Antero Alli about death, grace, ritual technologies.

What he did offer was a very RAW examination of some fundamental Crowley concepts. The assigned texts for the course were Crowley’s Book of Lies and also Book of Thoth. Wilson also had recommended texts like The Widow’s Son and various articles, etc.
