No Left Turn: On Overcoming Right Hand Path Bias
This post has been previously published as a submission to Questing SET Digest, compiled by Judith Page and Don Webb, and appears here with slight edits for grammar and clarification. When it comes to spirituality, the path known by Setians (full disclosure: The author is not a Temple of Set member) as the Right Hand […]

Herbal tactics and the ending of pregnancy
Originally posted on The Less Hidden Path:
Many people are sharing copied-and-pasted statuses about herbal abortifacie- sorry, I mean “herbs to avoid during pregnancy”, as they are being termed. And they’re right, most of those things will end a pregnancy. Sometimes they do this by being so poisonous that they also can give you liver… -
Satan’s Tunnel
I stood in the void, for a moment, terrified to press deeper still into its reaches for fear of what I might face, but knowing I was royally screwed if I didn’t ignore that and do so with haste. I couldn’t see a thing but darkness, and this is no exaggeration. My other senses weren’t […]

Love Letters
I’ve written in a few different posts in a few different ways about how on one level, Hermekate has to do with the concept of “occultural solidarity,” or the high-minded (in my opinion) vision of encouraging, instigating, effecting, or otherwise participating in a process of global occultural “coagula” wherein people of all various paths begin […]

Dogged By Fear
The search for the cause is rather misleading, since the existence of the fear continues, not because it has been originally started in the remote past, but because a task is incumbent upon you in the present moment, and, inasmuch as it remains unfulfilled, every day produces fear and guilt anew. The question is, of […]

Dodging A Bullet: Hermekate, Synchronicity, and Mass Violence
I’ve touched on a variety of topics which I can subjectively link to Hermekate, from reconciliation of opposites to controversies surrounding gender and culture; one phenomenon that is objectively highly gendered is that of mass violence. Mass shooters and those who commit other forms of mass violence tend to mostly be men, and their motives […]

Hermekate, Occultism, and Mental Health
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. I re-released the post Institutionalized on the eve of the month, and I’ve spent much of the time since then reflecting on how best to comment on the occasion–especially since the theme of mental health treatment is one that draws from the very heart of the meaning of Hermekate. […]

Imperfect Love, Imperfect Trust
As I discussed in my previous post, one of the dominant patterns in my birth chart in terms of its impact on my life is that I have Venus in Taurus opposing Saturn in Scorpio. It may not be surprising that the pattern has been particularly active in doling out its lessons ever since my […]

The Heart of the Matter: Hermekate and Hieros Gamos
One powerful function of eclipses is said to be that of revealing secrets, and I’ve also written in an earlier post that I’d be elaborating on the connections between Hermekate and eclipses; as such, it should come as no surprise that the recent Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio–sign of secrets, intrigues, and occultism per se–brought with […]

Our Banner
This brief and timely segue is just for kicks; an interesting and thoughtful tale of synchronicity (or–dare I speculate–fate?) that goes a long way toward illustrating how Hermekate has unfolded magically. For the first time on the blog, I’ll explain the uncanny background behind this site’s banner. The story begins with my first marriage, seems […]
