“Tell me a story of who you are, and see who I am in the stories I am living. And together we will remember that each of us always has a choice. Don’t tell me how wonderful things will be . . . some day. Show me you can risk being completely at peace, truly [...]

Your Love Sign: Venus in Astrology
This post is all about your Venus sign – the sign in which your personal Venus falls. A very pleasant re-entry into Pax Mercurius! Venus rules things like beauty, art, joy and pleasure, clothing and jewellery, sex and chastity (yes, both!) and, less happily, corruption in all its forms. She is named for the Roman [...]

The 2011 ‘Zodiac Shift’ and Ophiuchus, and Why They Don’t Matter
I’ll say it up front: no one’s sign has changed, Ophiuchus doesn’t exist, and this article by Gawker and Huffington Post is a shoddy piece with exceptionally poor research and understanding of how and why astrology operates. There you have it – that’s the short and sweet answer to the ’2011 Zodiacal Identity Crisis’ right [...]

A Hopefully Amusing Tale of a Cat, a Plug, and her Pet Astrologer
Tonight, I left my ear buds on my bed in preparation for listening to some music while writing, and came back to find my cat looking very pleased with herself, with a large section of the wire, and more importantly, the plug of the earphones missing, and the rest of the wire chewed up. Searching [...]

The Red Book (Liber Novus)
“From this we learn how the spirit of the depths considers the soul: he sees her as a living and self-existing being, and with this he contradicts the spirit of this time for whom the soul is a thing dependent on man, which lets herself be judged and arranged, and whose circumfrence we can grasp. [...]

Occult Monasticism: The Why and the How
Monasticism tends to conjure up images of monks in dusty (or airy, depending on the country) cloisters, the product of a by-gone age. Most contemporary, visible monks are found in the Buddhist tradition, with Western monasticism becoming less and less well known. Indeed, in Australia, there is only one extensive Benedictine monastery in the country [...]

Universal Insights, and some New Books!
The Universal Insights New Age Expo was held in Ringwood yesterday, and it was wonderful: for all that I am not ‘New Age’ in my practise or my philosophy, I found the participants to be entirely lovely, the other stallholders friendly and helpful. There was no sense of negativity or unfriendly competition, and my stall [...]

The Mystical Element: Music
A favourite obsession of conspiracy theorists is that the occult, especially Freemasonry* and other related orders, has a presence in popular culture, architecture, music, and other common things. They happen to be right – there is a strong contribution from these groups in our mundane day to day, often blatent or only partially hidden from [...]

Horary for Serious Purposes
Pax Mercurius returns from holiday! America was wonderful, full of amazing people and experiences. It was a genuine pilgrimage of sorts, and very restoring to body and mind, but especially soul. I will certainly be going back there. The Pacific Northwest was an adventure full of many interesting and profound experiences, but none of them [...]
