Oathbound Traditions

One of the main arguments I hear from a LOT of people, is about oath-bound traditions.... That is, "keeping secrets." For some reason, a lot of people look at "secrets," as bad things... I mean,…

- Absolutely in love, and completely enamored with my beautiful, darling girl, Strata.. After being convinced that there was no such thing, I actually met someone who completely swept me off my feet... And now I get to marry her :) :) :)
I am just another seeker on a path.
I started looking into witchcraft 14 or 15 years ago, but only started practicing 13 years ago. I self dedicated on Feb 23, 1997 at a beautiful spot on Alouette Lake..
I have since also joined a Hermetic order, to further advance my knowledge in the western mystery tradition through Golden Dawn ceremonial magic.
2010 has been the year of vast change for me. I have finally found true happiness and fulfillment after a catastrophic event in my life. The changes have been magical, and I now see where I am going :) I belong to an amazing woman who is my everything and all, who I look forward to spending the rest of my life with and I couldn't be happier :)
You are The Devil
Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession
The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.
Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.

Setting *My* Lights
I've been more and more serious about my rootwork/conjure/hoodoo practice, and as such have setup all my master candles now.
I'd been looking for some of the glass-encased candles (Novena Candles,) for some time, and finally found them in a dollar store here, when I went looking for something else. I never did (and don't remember) find whatever else I was looking for... but after purchasing a white, red, yellow, blue, and green novena in my change was even a nice, old,…

The Magical Properties of... Punctuation, Spelling, and Even the Enter Key!
One of the biggest benefits to living in today's day and age, is the whole internet, "Information Superhighway." That's an amazing thing, definitely, but something that I'm seeing more and more of, is people unable to properly communicate or get their point across.
I do not necessarily consider myself the best writer, and gods know that I make mistakes as well. However I read a LOT of resume's, as well as formal letters. I worked for years writing proposals,…

Initiation... I was wrong.
I have always thought, that self initiation was possible. In fact, I still do... but only in extreme circumstances, and I don't think it's on the same level as a physical initiation.
Let me explain.
It was described to me, by members of an initiatory mystery tradition, that it is possible to self-initiate. But that it was *really* hard, and you needed the material, and it would take years... If ever. For something that could be done in mere hours with the…
