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 [...]

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 [...]

The Interesting Case of Colton Harris-Moore
An interesting chart clearly demonstrating the good and bad sides of Mercury is that of Colt Harris-Moore, a young thief of ambivalent motivation and a brilliant escapist who has survived on his own as a fugitive in the Camano Island area of Washington, living in the woods. He has evaded all attempts at arrest since [...]

The Corpus Hermeticum and Mindfulness
Today I stumbled on a great website, which has links to significant parts of the Corpus Hermeticum – the texts which underlie Hermeticism and the spiritual and religious aspects, and this particular dialogue caught my eye. The passage quoted is a dialogue between Hermes Trismegistus, and his son (literal or adopted), Tat. Note that the [...]
