  • 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 […]

  • Following the Fire – Part III: Don’t Worry, I Already Had My Messianic Delusion

    In ways that may not be fully appreciated by those generations born since its inception, The Internet is a “final frontier.” The Internet is a Crossroads. The Internet is a place where so many minds—but beyond that, so many cultures—meet. It’s been around in consumer-friendly form for less time than I’ve been on this planet, […]

  • Following the Fire – Part II: Institutionalized

    As I’ve hinted at in previous posts, my childhood was a little rough around the edges and my family situation wasn’t perfect by any means, but one thing I can say is that I was blessed with pretty cool parents. My mother hung out under a stage with Jerry Garcia once, and my father met […]

  • Of Chalices and Chariots – Part III: En Oino Aletheia

    I used to sit and look at lists of Qabbalistic correspondences and wonder at the relevance of at least half of the pieces of information I was looking at. What was I supposed to actually do with all of these connections? You’re telling me all of these things correspond with one another, and I’m quick […]

  • Following the Fire – Part I: Initiation and My Personal Myth

    I know it would be absolutely lovely, from a certain point of view, if I were to simply sit down, write my magical biography from birth to the present, and be done with it so that at the very least, the reader had a chronological telling that they could easily wrap their mind around; however, […]

  • We Didn’t Start the Fire

    This is an account of a house fire when I was in high school that aligned in disturbing ways with some unsavory magical activity. It picks up where the post When They Talk Back leaves off and in past version of this blog, this was part of that post. However, the story stands better on […]

  • Of Chalices and Chariots — Part II: The Oracle of the Bottle

    In Part I of this series, I spent more time than I’d originally intended describing my experience as a worker for The Theosophical Society and how it informed the Saturn Ritual I performed in 2013. Basically, I’d compromised my spiritual health by trying to force myself to fit in with a spiritual culture that simply […]

  • Of Chalices and Chariots — Part I: A Quixotic Quest’s Commencement

    Note: More than an analysis of a Self-Initiatory working and its long-term unfoldment, this post is as much an intrinsic part of finishing that work and is thus something I consider to be a magical working in and of itself. I am writing and publishing it now as a matter of timing, both magical and […]

  • When They Talk Back

    In Real Things, I told the story of my introduction to magic via my first teacher. I only knew him for a few years, from the tail end of elementary school until about halfway through 8th grade. We only spent the first year or so focusing heavily on magic before drifting apart in middle school. […]
