I don’t normally jump into every little meme that happens in the internetz but when I read this “Sixteen Hundred” project through Polys post – I decided to throw my lot (happy coincidence), help out and put in my submission. A nice side result is I ended up in a free geomancy course so it’s win win for me.
If you use geomancy and happen to read this blog, the join in the fun!

To Be or Not To Be
Posted: May 14, 2013 Filed under: rants | Tags: chaos magic, esoteric, magick, occult, sorcery 4 Comments »Being a sorcerer, you have access to certain possibilities not available to our muggle side of things.
For example, recently at work, the boss that I am directly working under is stressing out from all of the annoyances of the job. To be fair, it’s his own fault – he does not seem to be ready and willing to take on the responsibilities that comes w/ the job. He should be going above and beyond to achieve what is needed but alas, his mind is on his growing family at the moment.
So, I see 2 opportunities regarding this matter.
I can cause the downfall of this fellar and hope that my credentials, and some sweet talking, can cause me to gain his position. Or I can help him defeat his “enemies” at the moment.
There’s lots of variables that surrounds this opportunity that is too long to list but I am confident with the outcome that I choose to happen. However, the end result might not be too convenient for me – especially if I pick the former.
Right now, I’m just on standby and letting it takes its course. I know if I play my cards right, I can be on the top of the ladder like I was before but the issue is, do I want to?
That Time Of The Year
Posted: May 8, 2013 Filed under: rants | Tags: chaos magic, esoteric, magick, occult, sorcery 1 Comment »Yes, that time of the year – a most celebrated holiday as a former satanist, a would be sorcerer supreme and as an awesome human to this world – mah burthday.
Of course, we celebrated on the normal routine – right when midnight hits, cakes and some laughs as my family bear down on me to celebrate my birthday. I had a nice birthday game of tennis in the morning. Then later on, went to church with my parents since I’m contractually obligated to go to church on special occasions (to keep the mum happy and not have her poke around her agnostic sons business). Then a nice family dinner in which I ended up stuffing myself with chicken and ribs (not cool, lol). Then home to relax and spend some more time with the love ones.
In between, I did the TSS Ritual of the Supreme Commander (I think that’s the name of the ritual, can’t remember and too lazy to reach for the book). Also did some magick while at church and I tried a little experiment. I screwed that one up though since I ended up absorbing too much Fire element, which in turn caused my brain to go haywire and left me with a headache.
Overall, it was a nice birthday.
The Next Step

I’m pretty comfortable w/ my working theory on magick as a whole; the howtos and whys – mind you, I’m not saying that I’ve discovered the secrets of magick, moreso that the tidbits here and there in this world has started to simmer in my brain and has started to form into working theories I can use. There is still so much to discover and I feel that in this step, I can finally start discovering.
My practical skills are up to par, I do some things really well and some things are left passable but it’s a working progress. As long as I don’t get conceited and forget that I am still a student who knows some things here and there who can achieve certain results – my progression should be alright. Till I can blast people w/ fire balls or fly, I’ll be in my little training corner working and training.
Overall, I suppose I am in the refinement part of my training. I’ve gotten the fundamentals down and now I really have to let my own creativity and self expression flourish through my magick.
Walpurgisnacht
Posted: May 2, 2013 Filed under: rants | Tags: chaos magic, esoteric, occult, sorcery Leave a comment »I don’t normally follow any occult special days, maybe my birthday and Halloween but this year – since I’m a part of the SS Course, I got a notification for this day w/ a special rite to perform. Also, this is my birthday month so I decided to do something different from what I’ve been doing these past years.
I decided not to do the rite prescribed in the SS course but instead try to feel out and connect to the energies around me that night, I mean there’s gotta be alot of people doing the rite/a similar rite in this day so the air should be glowing with this.
So it was a very simple meditation, get into a groove, then just reach out. I can tell the night was sizzling w/ energy since just seconds of trying to reach out, my 3rd eye chakra/area went into hyper simulation. It hit me like “oomph” and I can feel a deepness to it, more like I really tapped into something that I didn’t create or filter through me. The collective energy of Walpurgisnacht or whatever it’s called.
It was very interesting and the feeling was very beautiful.
Salut.

IIH Immersion: I’ve kinda taken a pause on progressing through IIH and really just take my time polishing the techs I feel most beneficial for me; like more understanding of the elements, or being able to connect to other beings. Recently, my clairvoyance skills has really gone up a level; in that half sleep state, I’m able to hear the thoughts of others that pertains to me – quite interesting experiences, I haven’t been able to replicate it at any event however.
Clients: One more client to go. The last one I was working with kinda ended abruptly and while I have mix feelings as to the desire, I did my best w/ the working I prepared for him. I even sacrificed a magickal tool of mine that I’ve been saving for years, for a special event, and used it for the clients ritual. While I am on the edge regarding the result, the scientist/magus in me wants to see results.
Misc: Been re-reading some old ChM texts, trying to re-inspire the “mad” scientist/mage inside of me. Somewhat working. The problem is time and energy. Work has been going at me and the mental fatigue it causes me tires me considerably, I don’t want to quit and probably wont but I have to find a solution to this.

Kumare [Documentary]
Posted: April 19, 2013 Filed under: review | Tags: beyond chaos magick, magick, occult, esoteric, post chaos magick, sorcery, chaos magic 1 Comment »Kumaré is an American 2011 documentary film directed by Vikram Gandhi.
To record the documentary, American filmmaker Vikram Gandhi transformed himself into Sri Kumaré, an enlightened guru from a fictional village in India, by adopting a fake Indian accent and growing out his hair and beard. In the film, Kumaré travels to Arizona to spread his made-up philosophy and gain sincere followers.[1][2]
Kumaré premiered at the 2011 South by Southwest Film Festival (SXSW), where it received the festival’s Feature Film Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature.[3] Gandhi came up with the idea of a fictional guru while recording another documentary film about yogis and their followers.[4]
I did a muggle review for this but here, I will do this from a sorcerers POV.
What I find interesting, overall, with this mans journey is that he actually took the steps to becoming a self professes, self initiated guru of sorts; he learned from others, put in some time in practice, etc. So while becoming a fake guru for his documentary, he kinda became a somewhat close representation, lol.
Good stuff.
