Like the Adjustment chapter, the Hermit chapter introduces no new locations as it takes place at Jonas’ Merriam Park home that was introduced in the Hierophant chapter. It begins with a discussion between Jonas and Sofia Borgia, the Magister of Italy, who are clearly old friends. It concludes with Michael and Samantha arriving to explain what they managed to find out on their trip to Rochester in the Chariot chapter.
Augoeides Posts- Cancer Elixir Rite for 2020 July 2, 2020Here is the video of yesterday's Cancer Elixir Rite. I'm still working with getting the camera settings the way I want them, but I think I'm making progress. Also, not sure why I got tongue-tied there at the beginning - this series is Via Solis, not "Via Sola," which is what it sounds like I'm saying for whatever reason.Cancer i […]
- Via Solis Cancer Elixir - Year Four (Streaming) June 29, 2020Today's Magick Monday post is a full script for the Cancer Elixir Rite that we will be performing tomorrow, Tuesday June 30th. Like the last few elixir rites, it will be streamed on Facebook Live at the Leaping Laughter OTO page. The page can be found here. I will be starting around 8 PM CDT, but barring any technical difficulties I will archive the vid […]
- God Will Punish Mild Inconvenience June 25, 2020That was the claim made by anti-mask Floridians at a public hearing in Palm Beach County. But honestly, I have a hard time imagining a universe in which God cares very much about something that for most people is just a mild inconvenience. To be clear, I don't have a problem with medical exemptions for people who legitimately have problems wearing masks […]
- Ritual Night Talk for June 23rd June 24, 2020Here's last night's Ritual Night Talk, covering Aleister Crowley's Liber Samekh. Crowley adapted Liber Samekh from the Stele of Jeu or Headless Rite from the Greek Magical Papyri into a Thelemic invocation of the Holy Guardian Angel. I covered some of that background last week. This week I walked through the ritual itself, along with Crowley […]
- Mass of Nuit and Babalon for 2020 June 22, 2020Here is the video of Saturday's Mass of Nuit and Babalon. If you have ever wondered what this ritual looks like when performed, this will give you an idea - though of course it is bigger and more impressive when done with multiple officers, the full temple setup, and all of the blocking bits and pieces that can't really be done with a limited strea […]
- Ritual Night Talk for June 16th June 17, 2020Here is the video of last night's Ritual Night Talk. In this installment I talk some more about the Holy Guardian Angel and start in on Liber Samekh. I'll be going into more depth on Liber Samekh next week.Here are some links I included with the video:The Path of Initiation - The Holy Guardian AngelThe Headless Rite from The Digital AmblerLiber Sam […]
- Mass of Nuit and Babalon for 2020 (Streaming) June 16, 2020This Saturday is the Summer Solstice and we will be performing the Mass of Nuit and Babalon to celebrate it. This is the full script for the ritual, which we have been celebrating for a number of years now with some pretty impressive results. This year the ritual will be streamed online, so it won't look like the full temple version shown above. Also, t […]
- Ritual Night Talk for June 9th June 10, 2020Here's my Ritual Night Talk from last night. The long awkward pause at the beginning is due to Facebook rolling out a new interface and me standing there waiting to make sure I was live before I started speaking. I was fine with the old Facebook interface - no idea why they felt the need to change it up.Anyway, this talk focuses on the idea of True Will […]
