The Fine Line of Tricksters and Truth

"Here's my conclusion," I said to my friend Ana, "the truth is that the Devil is like any other god." This is a fact that is surprising, maybe even offensive, to people who haven't met him. It's a boring and

How to Spiritually Cleanse the Luciferian Way

Technically, there are many non-denominational ways one could cleanse. Salt water, smoke from herbs or incense sticks, eggs, even just breathing exercises. But of course the method of cleansing that goes the deepest tends to be spiritual bathing. The way I learned of spiritual bathing from African traditional religion initiates

My Lifelong Dream Destroyed

I am about to admit the most shallow, egotistical part of myself I can think of. You ready? Since I was very small, I have dreamed of being famous. Now, I don't think that's a terribly shocking thing for many people. Before the current culture'

Recombining Near Eastern Devotion and Judaism

As an occultist, polytheist Jew a lot of my practices as far as most modern people are concerned don't have precedence. However, this is not necessarily true if you look at the Tanakh because you get lines like these: And Samuel said to all the House of Israel,

How to Steer Toward Community During Great Loss

So tell me if this sounds like you because I have heard it from a lot of people lately. You are a spiritual person feeling acutely the absence of people in your life. Either you're recently losing significant friendships that you're grieving or you've

The Non-Difference of Deity Relating Terms

I didn't know this was still a conversation until someone in one of my occult Discord servers brought it back up yesterday. I don't expect this to be a long post. Witchcraft, magic, polytheist, and occult communities are not exempt from having trivial arguments. One of

First Time Follies with the Trickster Devil

Two months ago, I started a spiritual relationship with Demon Emperor and Prince of Darkness Lucifer. So far, this has turned out significantly less dangerous than former Christians in my life would have assumed. That said, as of extremely recently (like a few hours prior to this writing), my belief

Resolving Rejection, Moving Past Soulmates, and Co-regulating with Deities

I have major trauma and resulting emotional regulation issues around real and perceived rejection. This started at home with my parents, who apparently talk very positively about me to other people, but did not raise me with unconditional regard nor ability to sit with my emotions. To compound the issue,

My New Tikkun Olam Meditative Exercise

The house I moved into was built in the 1950s and, as an investment rental property, has seen better days. This week, the landlord's contractor son came over to perform some much needed repairs that should have been reported earlier by the previous slew of tenants. He told

How to Survive Transformation

I'm happiest when I am transforming. I didn't always used to feel that way. Like many other people, I would get swept up into the fear of change that's neurochemically programmed into animals such as us. Our survival-driven brains associate familiarity with safety and

Sacrificing Judgment to the Devil

It's hard to know what to call Him. For awhile I was calling Him Satan because I knew it was His Hebrew title, however just yesterday I discovered he has an actual Hebrew name, Samael. That name is perhaps younger, coming from Kabbalah, and forgive me for thinking

A Soul In Progress (Moving Update!)

I give an update on my moving process, a fun new polytheist deity relationship, and how I foresee this new era being truly transformative for me.

When Your Spirituality Is Not About You

I have a lot of potent experiences while in the hypagnogic state prior to falling asleep. For instance, the other night I was settling down to sleep and I was pondering some kind of astrological movement, as I do incessantly on a daily basis. At some point, the wheel of

Stability and Land Relations

Stability, true stability, requires both material and emotional safety. I have almost always had the former, but never the latter until recently. Because I'm about to embark on my 4th move in less than 3 years since coming to California, this is something I have been thinking about more often.
