Greetings, faithful followers! I thought it might be useful – for me as well as my readers - to post my favorite recipes for planetary incenses here. In a best case scenario, you would want each incense to include the planet’s sacred number of ingredients.  Thus, Saturn incense should include three ingredients, Jupiter incense should contain four, [...]

It looks like this is the year for Jupiter work!  (Of course, that may be partly due to my membership in the ‘Gentlemen for Jupiter” occult group – Jupiter has certainly been “in the air.”)  The first was earlier this year: an Invocation of the Archangel Iophiel.  That was not done for any specific magickal [...]

Greetings, Angel-workers! This year has been fairly active concerning our house gods.  First, we worked with Samael for the protection of our home.  Then we called upon Iophiel to bring prosperity into the house.  Now, we turn our attention to another old and trusted friend of the family (in fact, the first archangel with whom [...]

Someone in the EvocationalMagics Yahoo Group asked why spiritual entities would need offerings – specifically food offerings intended to nourish and empower them.  I think it’s a good question.  The querent received different replies from three people – all of which (I feel) combine to give a fairly solid answer.  Here they are: From Brother Moloch: [...]

Somewhat recently, I performed a lengthy invocation of Samael, the Archangel of Mars, to establish a barrier of protection around my property.  It did not occur to me to photo-document the procedure, as it is not my usual habit to do such a thing.  However, I did take the rare step of writing up the [...]

Greetings, Festive Heathens!  And happy Beltaine to everyone! In just a few days, we will be heading out for Florida Pagan Gathering in Ocala, where I will be giving three lectures on Solomonic Magick: http://www.flapagan.org/ I will be selling my books when not lectureing.  Also, my wife, Carrie Mikell, will be doing Henna Tattoos – [...]

I recently had the unique opportunity to look into the subject of breaking pacts (contracts) made with spiritual entities.  I was contacted by a friend who was doing her best to help a young man out of an unfortunate situation.   He had joined a thestic Satanic group, who had him perform a dedication ceremony to Satan [...]

When we think about exorcism (specifically of a place), we tend to think of it as an all-or-nothing deal.  The exorcist comes into the building and casts out anything that isn’t an Angel.   (For an example of a simple home cleansing and exorcism, see my Uncrossing instructions.) For most common folks, a home free from all [...]

The Key of Solomon calls for the use of the blood of a gosling in the consecration of the White-hilted Knife.  (This is the knife used to prepare all other holy implements, cut herbs, candles, etc, etc.)  It also calls for the blood of a black cat in the consecration of the Black-hilted Knife.  (This [...]

Every once in a while, the subject of ritual blood use is raised among those who study the Old Magicks.  Blood and sacrifice were fairly common in both religion and magick until relatively recently in history.  I discuss the subject in depth in chapter four of “Secrets of the Magickal Grimoires”, if you want to [...]
