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- Jesus Arrested in Russia September 24, 2020Here's a question for everyone worried about the current state of the world, political and otherwise. Lots of people online have noted that there are at least an unusual number of similarities between Donald Trump and the description of The Beast from the Book of Revelation. Yeah, I know, 666 is Kaiser Nero and all that, so it likely refers to events th […]
- Seb-Hed Autumnal Equinox Ritual for 2020 September 23, 2020Here is the video of last night's Seb-Hed Ritual. We've been performing this ritual around the autumnal equinox for a number of years now, first with our magical working group and more recently under the auspices of Leaping Laughter OTO in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

- Ritual Night Talk for September 15 September 16, 2020Here is the video of last night's Ritual Night Talk, covering containment and targeting. I've had a couple of questions come up recently about containment structures and how they work, and adding in comments on magical links that can be used for targeting operations seems like a natural fit. Using both of these methods well can result in far more e […]
- Airbnb for Satan September 10, 2020A family renting an Airbnb unit in New York City got a surprise when they got there and found the place decorated with - well, basically a couple of animal skulls and some implements for casting spells. They freaked and reported being terrified by this display of "devil worship." I do understand that one of the unwritten rules about doing magick is […]
- Ritual Night Talk for September 8 September 9, 2020Here is the video of last night's Ritual Night Talk, covering psychology and magick. Many ideas from psychology found their way into discussions of magick over the course of the last century or so. Some of those ideas are accurate or at least useful, while others are less so based on the latest understanding of how cognition works. This is part one of w […]
- Against MKUltra Umbrellas September 3, 2020Lately the QAnon conspiracy has been getting more time in mainstream news outlets, so that means it's not weird or fringey enough for "prophet" and Christian talk show host Mark Taylor. Taylor, as I have previously noted, has made exactly one accurate prophecy in his entire life. He predicted that Donald Trump would be elected president in 201 […]
- Ritual Night Talk for September 1 September 2, 2020Here is the video of last night's Ritual Night Talk, covering more magical misconceptions. In the my first magical misconceptions talk, I discussed some popular culture ideas about magick like the "Satanic panic" of the 1980s and the similar reptilian/illuminati/qanon nonsense of today. In this talk I focus more on what I consider technical mi […]
