The post will be split into two parts. First, “The Twin Myth: A Quick History of the Stars”, being a quick review of the mythology and folklore associated with the stars Castor and Pollux. The second part, “Twin-Star Astrolatry: Interpretation and Veneration”, being a more subjective write-up of my own UPGs of the stars as…

Joy does not come easily to me: every scrap of sunlight is fought for, every drop of honey is savored. Thus, in preparation for the Venus retrograde, I decided to construct myself a vessel— the Vessel of Pleasure, whose purpose is to help cultivate joy and pleasure in myself and my life. It is heavily…

In the many cases I have seen where individuals purchase a Thai talisman — whether it be a prai talisman or other forms of Buddhist talismans — the talisman itself tends to be ‘propitiated’, rather than ‘worked with’. Of course, there is nothing wrong with simply keeping a talisman around to venerate and petition them…

Much of my understanding of the occult is not derived from books or historical research, but rather from experiencing life and consuming art. Those who know me personally will recall my rants about how FFXIV: Shadowbringers and Endwalker deepened my understanding of the fixed star Castor and of the planet Saturn. Likewise, the anime Made…

To speak of the Stinger Stars is to speak of poison and paranoia. It is a battle-dance, a song of two lances clashing— a warzone of words-as-weapons, an act of frenzy that leaves one unable to differentiate between the enemy and the Self. In this post — inspired largely by The Red Dreaded Spindle: An…

In this essay, I would like to explore the folklore associated with Ursa Major, along with delving into how Ursa Major is depicted within the sabbatic current in texts such as ONE: The Grimoire of the Golden Toad and Azoetia: A Grimoire of the Sabbatic Craft. I would also like to briefly touch upon the…

The fixed star Alphard — known by many names such as Alpha Hydrae, Al Fard Al Shujah, or the heart of the snake — is about desire. Congruently, desire is about wants, and to want something is to yearn and hunger for it.

The constellations of Canis Minor and Canis Major are often associated with canine-related mythology. Procyon — the Behenian fixed star in the Canis Minor constellation — and Sirius — the Behenian fixed star in the Canis Major constellation — have been explored at great lengths by scholars of history and occult practitioners alike. With regards…
