I recently read a book called Financial Alchemy: Twelve Months of Magic and Manifestation (Volume 1)* by Morgana Rae. Initially, I was a tad skeptical. The author’s rolling around in a cascade of bills on the cover, and the book has a lot of exclamation points. But then…I did the first exercise, and something interesting happened. The…
In this lesson, we’re rolling up our sleeves and making some sigils! First things first, you’ll need to clarify your aims—and I say aims, plural, because we’re using a technique I learned from Gordon White of Rune Soup called sigil shoals. We’ll learn how to do this as we do it, so start by grabbing…
There’s a concept in Jung’s work that, every time I encounter it, stops me in my tracks, because it flips on its head the idea that consciousness is the star of the show with the unconscious merely a sidekick. Here’s Jung in Psychology and Religion: East and West: I never can, if I can help…
Today, I want to talk about giving ourselves lots of grace as we learn and grow, pulling examples from writing, boundary setting, and spellcasting, and how this helps us to be more effective in life…and in magic. First, the writing example, because this is what got me thinking about the fact that everything in life…
This week, we’re going to play with the concept of a magical syllabus, but I’d like you to think of this less as a giant to-do list (yuck) and more like the question you pose at the beginning of a tarot reading (yay!). Allow me to explain… When you frame a tarot reading with an…
This week, we’re going to use the Magician Tarot Reading to explore your relationship with the four hallows. Quick recap: the four hallows, depicted in the Magician card, make the process of strengthening the ego less mystifying. Each hallow relates to a different egoic function (intuition, thinking, feeling, or sensation), so when we develop these hallows, we cultivate…
This week, I’ve created an Archetypal Attunement for you. This guided meditation will take you to your Inner Sanctuary, which is your home base on the astral plane. There, you’ll seek guidance in helping you create your ideal magical ecosystem. This is all about unlocking the habits and environment that will best support your desired…
In today’s lesson, we’re going to enhance your spellcasting with a mash-up of the infamous Aleister Crowley and the considerably less infamous James Clear, author of Atomic Habits, using this combo to craft what I call your “magical ecosystem.” (Can you imagine these two forced to co-teach a workshop? Now that I’d like to see.)…
Today (and next week), we’re going to deep dive into the mechanics of dream interpretation, and ideally you now have some snippets or full stories from your own dreams to work with so that you can start practicing these techniques. First things first (and this bit applies to last month’s divination material, too): no one…
Today we’re looking at the core ingredients of an effective spell, exploring each component from a Jungian Magic perspective. What purpose does it serve in the psyche and how does that affect outer reality? On a very basic level, a spell incorporates an opening, an ask, and a closing; a beginning, a middle, and an…
