What's New

Novermber 29, 2008 Harahel, the 59th spirit from the sphere of Mercury Comments on the sphere of Mercury, economics, the global financial crisis, and investing. November 28, 2008 A Woman Dreams She is the Sea--a poem I awoke last night and wrote this poem, one of a series of fifteen poems on undines. Not the best poem I agree but still it speaks to me. This poem is for a female actress/model to illustrate in a five minute video which I'll have done in another month or so--I found a woman who can embody the soul of the sea. I honestly thought it would take me five years (if I was lucky) to figure out and then find women who can embody mermaid/undine consciousness within themselves. But the spiritual world said to me, "Naw, it is not at all difficult. You just need to know where and how to look." November 14, 2008 The Spirit governing the 9th lunar mansion Like the spirit of 26 degrees Virgo in the earthzone, this spirit specializes in healing obsession, mental illness, seizures, etc. It brings an individual's focus back to the physical world overcoming disturbances to consciousness. October 31, 2008 The Spirit of 26 Degrees in the Earthzone specializes in offering clarity and health for those with difficulties with mental stability These are some brief notes on a spirit of the earthzone relating to mental health. Bardon mentions that this spirit has a great range of abilities including the abilities to expand consciousness and concentration. I discuss briefly some of the karmic aspects of magical intervention in offering assistance to others in this area. October 30, 2008 A Poem for Deb--the White Knight and the Fair Maiden She emailed me yesterday after a number of months. We have never met. I only get about three emails a year from women so it is something to take note of when it happens. But as I wrote a reply I noticed the words were in the shape of a poem which I now share with you--for those of you who strive as I do to find and unite with one's opposite. Note: How long have I been pursuing the essence of the feminine spirit? Thirty years ago I was asking, What do women want from men and what do men want from women? I initiated a study of femininity using models to represent the sensuality of undines who I have worked with extensively in my book on Undines. However, Achaiah, the seventh spirit of the sphere of Mercury, gave me some tips. His point was that the opposite of a man is not a woman but the feminine energy in himself joined with the feminine energy or magnetic fluid in nature. Similarly, the opposite of a woman is not a man but the masculine energy in herself joined to the realms of light and the electric fluid found in nature and the inner planes. This completes my quest, at least on a personal level, for being able to establish inner peace with the universe. Teaching this still requires art, performing artists, models, mediums, etc. But there is now no urgency. I'll write a story about it--The White Knight's Tale. The really great videos, however, of women doing the dance of the universe I'll have to think about how to share. Time, however, for me to move on to other things. Stay tuned. Septermber 3, 2008 The Goddess, the Merman, and the Cup A non magical meditation on the water element previously presented under Audio with the word file included. August 30, 2008 The Knight and the Dragon This is a children's story under Audio. August 25, 2008 The Goddess, the Merman, and the Cup. Audio Files This is as it says--a meditation for a religion without priests, temples, or rituals in which love, power, wisdom, and justice are equally honored and pursued. The goal is to unite the four qualities of spirit within oneself in order to make the world new. This meditation is a summary of my work with undines. August 13, 2008 Audio Files I added a new section to the web site on audio files. These will be poems, stories, children stories, and meditations. Last additions: St. Columba and the Undine, St. Patrick and the Undine Queen July 3, 2008 An Angel Appears to Jacob--a poem I do short poems. But this is a long poem. Several individuals have been after me to answer questions about Iran and possible preemptive strikes. What can I say? You can get anything you want if you pay the price. Just make sure that what you want comes from the core of your being. Otherwise, it is very easy to get distracted. This poem relates to another two, Jacob's Angel, and The Cosmic Letter U, in the book, Song of the Universe, lava.net/~pagios/song.htm Also see my article on the cosmic letter U. June 30, 2008 Undine Poems I added a few poems and prose selections relating just to undines. I will continue to update this section periodically. These poems are also a kind of "casting call" for those models/actresses/mediums/psychics/initiates who can connect the performing arts to magical or mystical awareness. May 28, 2008 I published the book, Undines, at Lulu.com Search "Undines" Available as an ebook to download or a print to order in 8.5" by 11" size. February 9, 2008 Ten Rules for Spiritual Seekers A brief summary of the ten sephiroth of Quabbalah put in simple terms with a loose correlation to Bardon's Initiation into Hermetics. December 9, November 18, 2007 The Cosmic Letter CH. This is the complete four plane meditation on the akashic plane of CH. The CH speaks of a feminine space, a deep hidden stillness, in which body, soul, mind, and spirit enter in order to join with one's opposite and be reborn into new life and being. Of the cosmic letters, I think this one is about as far away as you can get from male consciousness and from Western civilization. October 28, 2007 The Cosmic Letter U. This letter reveals the original purposes of anything, how to change your karma, how to adopt any astral vibration, and how to perceive physical matter from the point of view of akasha. It is both difficult and in many ways very familiar. October 14, 2007 The Cosmic Letter J--astral and physical planes. I finished up this brief introduction to the cosmic letter J. Basically, the love and oneness of Divine Providence on the akashic plane now expresses itself through the four attractions of the astral plane and through pure physical sensations on the physical plane. October 6, 2007 The Cosmic Letter A, Part II: I already have a short, earlier version of the cosmic letter A. I am adding a few more notes and a story of the sylph Parahim.

August 27, 2007 The Cosmic Letter J: I added the mental plane to the previous posting on the akashic plane of this letter. The mental plane relates to the ecstasies of the four elements. I have also explored the relation between the ecastasies of the four elements and magical equilibrium. Together, these two topics form the basic of what Bardon might refer to as "a genuine cosmic religion." At the same time, a discussion of the nature of a magical community or a cosmic religion falls under my series on Problems in the Study of Magic, Part V.

August 18, 2007 The Cosmic Letter J: This is the akashic plane for this letter. I wrote about 11 pages over the couse of a four hour meditation.

March 5, 2006

More Dialogues Two more dialogues: a guided meditation and another discussion on the magic of touch and the magnetic fluid. See Part X again, under Later That Night and A Few Days Later.

Feb. 15

Problems in the Study of Magic, Part 3 This is on the magnetic fluid which is less developed in Western Culture than is the electric fluid. About a hundred pages.

Feb. 27, Feb. 20, Feb. 13, January 28, January 12, January 11, 2006, December 25, 2005,

Pop Quiz for Magicians, Parts I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, FAQ, and Bio This is on the lighter side as in humorous. But be careful what you wish for. Due to increased length, it is now a take home test. Note: I keep adding to this every three or four weeks for the last several months. I added to part VI, and also added a field trip and an interview with a clerk in the Deparment of Akashic Records. More on undines, prophecy, a debate on astral equilibrium, a Mid Term Test on akasha, and 10 greatest religious fiascos. Continues with more.

August 19, 2005

Body Awareness Exercise This is a short introduction to some basic body awareness that takes Franz Bardon's ideas in a slightly different direction. It is a basic and non-magical version of practicing the alchemy of the cosmic letter OE on the physical level.

December 18, 2004

The Electric and Magnetic/Four Feminine Archetypes/Eros and Psyche This essay is a response to a question concerning the Matriarch and the Patriarch. It covers a summary of the electric and magnetic fluids in magic, four feminine archetypes, and the above as told through the story of Eros and Psyche, perhaps the one great story in Western literature to survive that speaks to the nature of feminine personal and spiritual growth.

October 26, 2004

Judaism and Christianity This is a response to a Jew who wrote me asking about the spiritual wisdom underlying Judaism. I had first to try to articulate the spiritual wisdom underlying Christianity--not an easy task.

March 20, 2004

Problems in the Study of Magic, Part II This continues my previous essay on problems that arise in studying and practicing magic

October 6, 2003

McKee Psychology If a spirit of the earthzone who specializes in story telling were to incarnate on earth I imagine he would be almost exactly like Robert McKee. I am just sharing a little essay I did on McKee's story telling as it might be applied to psychology.

August 22, 2003

Problems in the Study of Magic This is the first of a series of essays on the various problems and difficulties students of magic may encounter.

May 16, 2003

The Cosmic Letter "OE" While traveling, I wrote this brief set of meditations on the cosmic letter OE.

January 30, 2003

The Cosmc Letter "A", A Poem I woke up in the middle of last night and started writing this poem. There are 26 basic building blocks of time, space, matter, energy, consciousness, and spirit in the Quabbalah. This is the first one of them. It is light blue in color and has a weightless sensation. It is both a state of mind and an energy. It is referred to as the cosmic letter "A" which relates to enlightenment. I could write like other modern poets about the present moment, the bread crumbs from the burnt toast that fall to the floor and are rubbed into the carpet as the dim light from the window and the gray sky filter through the curtains and remind me that I sometimes feel trapped and alone. But I am not a modern poet. My mind sees stars and galaxies and I am overwhelmed by their beauty. I eat toast in the morning but my imagination is like the taste of mead.

January 28, 2003

The Song of the Universe I haven't posted anything for a while since I have been editing several books and getting them ready to submit to publishers. Here, however, is a collection of most of my poems from various stories and books. As I mention in the introduction, an earthzone spirit found me a muse which resulted in my writing these poems. In a sense, the poems do not belong to me but to the characters in the mythological stories and fables that I write. I want to thank profusely Daren who took the time to set up the script, layout, and links between the table of contents and the individual poems. Thank you so much.

April 13, 2002

How a Womanizer Became Enlightened This is an on-going story about a character from the mythical kingdom of Ubarim named Kamhia. The story/essay pursues questions about the part that sensuality and desire have to play if one is to acquire wisdom and attain enlightenment. Kamhia is one of those characters who has a flair for combining opposites.

January 15, 2002

Nith-Haiah,the 25th Spirit of the Sphere of Mercury Franz Bardon calls Nith-Haiah the "guardian angel of all magicians on earth." The file is 80,000 bytes long or about 14 pages.

January 4, 2002

An Interview Regarding Fairy Tales This is an interview I did with a high school student for a year long project she was doing for her advance placement English class. It is about 39 pages long or 313,000 bytes. In it, I discuss fairy tales from literary, psychological, and magical points of view.

October 19, 2001

The Witness This is the final story from the book, Mystical Fables. It is not completely done because it is one of those stories that is on-going. It took me three months to write it. But then again, it has a life of its own.

July 16, 2001

Kamhia, A Story in Five Parts This is another story from the book, Mystical Fables. Kamhia was a priest in an ancient mythical kingdom called Ubarim. In that kingdom, the religion was centered around a Great Rite that united the different provinces and the different temples as well. They had a nature based religion centered on the Goddess of the Earth but God was free as well to put in an appearance when He wanted. Kamhia was a highly gifted individual who was full of contraditions.

May 11, 2001

A Few Questions and Answers I have had requests to post the responses I give to the questions I receive through email. Here are a few questions and answers. Often questions come with a lot of personal information. I am presenting the shorter version of the questions.

March 5, 2001

Aduachiel--A Spirit of Sagittarius in the Sphere of Jupiter This is a brief description of a spirit that Franz Bardon describes as one of the twelve heads of the planetary sphere of Jupiter.

March 3, 2001

The Presence of God, Part III In this brief essay, I continue describing my experiences with the Presence of God in the sephira of Chockmah and Kether.

January 12, 2001

The Presence of God, Part II In part II of my essay, The Presence of God, I continue to describe the Presence in four additional sephira. I also add a few notes on how to pass through some of the spiritual levels that relate to entering God's Presence. These essays are first drafts and only part of the book I am working on.

December 11, 2000

The Presence of God This is a continuation of my essay, God Presence and Hermetic Metaphysics. There is of course a high level of difficulty in trying to describe personal, first hand, and direct experience with God. Mystics usually rely on poetry or art. Priests rely on symbols and rituals. Magicians try to employ a high level of will and concentration so that through a state of consciously directed trance they can enter God's Presence. But as Bardon would say, establishing union with God is the sum and substance of the entire training course. In this preliminary essay, I discuss some of my experiences in the last few weeks. This essay is 26 pages or 161,000 bypes in length.

December 5, 2000

Lugnas the Peacemaker A story for the holiday season. This is the story about a man inspired by Aziel, one of the 78 spirits of the Mercury zone. Lugnas had a flair for inspiring people to make peace with each other. From the book, Mystical Fables as told to the warrior magician Hirah by the goddess Dawn.

November 30, 2000

The Prophet A'ia This is another chapter from the book, Mystical Fables. In the mythical kingdom of Ubarim, the prophet A'ia was considered a minor prophet in part because he was not a formal priest in any of the eight major temples. All the same, A'ia has some things to say about the nature of the spoken word, the origin of true love, and why men fight over land.

November 29, 2000

Another Question on the Philospoher's Stone Meditation I received this question by email relating to how to incorporate the masculine and feminine energies into the above meditation. I realize that this topic is slightly controversial and can easily be misinterpreted. In response, I would say that to be enlightened is to see the world as it is. To be a magician is to understand how the universe works and to accomplish actions in harmony with its laws.

November 28, 2000

Komio the Thief This is another chapter from the book called Mystical Fables and it relates to the part of the book dealing with the mythical kingdom of Ubarim. The story of Komio is meant to be light and humorous but it also mimics the kind of humor and perspective that characterizes the gnome magicians Bardon recommends.

November 9, 2000

The Philosopher's Stone In this 14 page essay, I summarize some of my thoughts on strengthening and refining the vitality within our bodies. I am pursuing this topic as a meditation that is consistent with Franz Bardon's training regarding increasing vitality in his book, Initiation into Hermetics. See my comments on chapters 1 and 2, physical level on this web site under Basic Training for related material.

September 14, 2000

St. Columba This is the only story from the Christian tradition in my book, Mystical Fables. I have rewritten and made additions to it. Mystical Fables will be available in early Novemeber. In these stories retold from history, legend, and from beyond, I search for the reason as to why the human race is so violent, what our destiny is, and how the quest for power, love, and wisdom can be reconciled within the human heart.

August 27, 2000

An Interview with the Author This is an interview I did for another website. The Earthzone as a Spiritual University This is the rewritten Introduction I did for my book, Twenty-Five Earthzone Spirits.

August 12, 2000

Introduction This is the Acknowledgment and Introduction to my book, A Travel Guide to Life, Part I. The book is not yet published. It contains the psychological system I use for navigating between the worlds.

July 2, 2000

Isaphil This is a brief account of some further meditations I have done with the undine Isaphil. It is also on my web page on undines and under the undines section of this web site. You can read it on line or else download it and open it with a web browser such as Netscape or Internet Explorer or with a word processing program such as Word. Emvatibe Emvatibe is the head of the fourth lunar mansion. He specializes in magical protection. This is part of the essay on him from my forthcoming book, Spirits of the Planetary Spheres. Emnasut Emnasut is the first spirit of the Sun. He specializes in maintaining balance in the fire element throughout our solar system. In this essay, I discuss briefly his nature and the relation of the fire element to will power and, in particular, to political evolution on our planet.

June 21, 2000

25 EARTHZONE SPIRITS Over the past quarter century, I have had the great pleasure of becoming acquainted, getting to know, and in some cases becoming friends with a number of spirits of the earthzone. Since I have studied with great teachers in all of the major religions, it is natural also to study with the great teachers who dwell within the sphere of akasha that surrounds our planet. Franz Bardon, in his book The Practice of Magical Evocation, briefly describes each of these spirits qualities and mission in two or three paragraphs per spirit. In my book, I am able to spend more time with a few of these spirits giving my personal experiences and delving further into their nature, abilities, and powers.

April 30, 2000

I have posted here three weeks of my magical journal for April.

A Magician's Journal.

Also, here are the first 25 exercises from my forthcoming book, Mead for the Soul.

April 16, 2000 I started another web site which is just on undines

April 7, 2000

This is a description of the spirit in the earthzone called Cigila, 28 degrees Pisces. He assists an individual in developing divine virtues such as concentration, clarity of mind, and inner stillness. He also points out things which can be done to reduce human suffering. I have been working with Cigila off and on since 1979. Cigila

March 23, 2000

I have added a few more "one minute meditations" for those who find Bardon's exercises excessively boring or difficult. I am working toward a book of such meditations called something like Mead for the Soul

March 21, 2000

This is a set of short exercises designed for those who find themselves too busy to do the practices in Franz Bardon's book, Initiation into Hermetics. I find some of Bardon's exercises extremely boring even though they are so important. If it was not for the fact that I feel compelled to work on this material, I would have a very hard time getting through Bardon's book on Initiation. But you do what you need to do to get the job done. At the same time, the importance of play, love, and delight should never be ignored when it comes to sustaining your motivation and commitment. These practices are called Mead for the Soul

March 14, 2000

This is a 16 page essay on the cosmic letter K in Franz Bardon's book, The Key to the True Quabbalah. The cosmic letter K is central to discussions of faith and conviction, war and peace, and our ability to attain our highest purposes in life. It also relates to an individual's ability to acquire rare wealth or unusual treasures of life. I was told decades ago that I needed to master this letter yet for me it has been one of the most difficult problems I have had to work on in magick. I hope this essay might be of benefit to students of magick and those who wish to serve Divine Providence. See The Cosmic Letter K

March 10, 2000

The Song of the Universe This book is a collection of 59 poems I wrote under the inspiration of a Muse the earthzone spirit Zagriona found for me. These poems explore human and divine love. There is sensuality, sex, eroticism, passion, pain, regret, loss, and also ecstasy and bliss. There are personal experiences with love, metaphysical experiences with tantra, and the host of magical experiences. 19 of these poems were written while meditating with various nature spirits--undines, gnomes, salamanders, and sylphs--and also with various spirits of the earthzone and other spheres. I consider them steppingstones and reminders of where I have been on my spiritual journey.

January 31, 2000

This is a story about a conversation between the Archangel Micheal and the wisest of the Neanderthals--a species now extinct which once lived here on earth for perhaps a hundred and fifty thousand years. I use poetic license when I write but the questions I raise seem so fundamental it is as if they are written into our DNA. See The Neanderthal Note: I plan to offer several books on this site for download or by disk or manuscript through the mail. These will be the edited and complete version of stories and conversations you now sample here. Some writers prefer to self-publish and internet commerce enables us to do this in a fairly straight forward and reasonable manner.

January 4, 2000

This article reviews a brief contact I had one day as I visited a number of spirits in the earthzone. I do that occasionally. I sit down and visit some of the spirits I have worked with before and also drop in on some new ones. I once visited on old professor I had studied with in college. He gave me some useful information but he was not really friendly. These spirits seem to be always friendly. Visiting the Earthzone

December 21, 1999

This article is entitled God Presence and Hermetic Metaphysics Training in a system such as Bardon's involves a great many practices pursued in a rigorous and step and step manner. However, it is also true that underneath and behind all this elaborate training program is the Presence of the Creator. In this article, I share the words I use to describe this Presence.

November 30, 1999

This is part two of my article on transcendence which I place under basic training. In it, I share a few of my thoughts on initiation, training in magick, and where you might consider beginning. I also share a few personal comments about what transcendence means to me. Transcendence, Part II Now, for something a little more playful though also serious, tongue in cheek yet also at the center of the discussion of justice and peace--an essay, an imaginary set of interviews actually with one of the two "witnesses" spoken of by the Apostle John in chapter 11 of his Revelations and also Isaiah who prophesized that they shall beat their swords into plowshares. Swords into Plowshares

November 8, 1999

This short piece is a summary of some recent meditations on the cosmic letter UE in the Bardon system. The cosmic letters are basic building blocks from which matter, spirit, space, time, and consciousness are formed. The Cosmic Letter UE

September 7, 1999

Here is the second part of my commentary on the transference of consciousness for the mental level of Bardon's chapter 4 exercises. This exercise deals with transferring of consciousness into other people. Chapter 4, Mental Level, Part 2

September 1, 1999

This is a twelve page commentary on the exercise for the mental level of Chapter 4 in Bardon's book, Initiation into Hermetics. Chapter 4, Mental Level This commentary gives examples of transference of consciousness into objects and animals, viz., a coin, a tree, a hurricane, and a bird, a wolverine, and a humpback whale. I had a request for an evocation I did on Alosom, a spiirt of the earthzone, so I am posting that article here also. Alosom, A Spirit of Silence

July 12, 1999

Here is a summary and short commentary on the mental level exercises for the third chapter in Franz Bardon's book, Initiation into Hermetics--Chapter 3, Mental Level These exercises, besides being extraordinarily difficult, are also perhaps the most fun and enjoyable of all the exercises in Bardon's books. Then again, when you train on this level you are doing what most religious and also academic teachers from around the world would consider impossible. But if you stick to it, it is not really all that difficult in the end.

July 8, 1999

I have posted under Basic Training a brief commentary on the psychic level exercises for chapter 3--Accumulating and Dissolving the Four Elements. See Chapter 3 Psyhic Level Also, Ugolog, 25 degrees Pisces in the earthzone, specializes in prophecy relating to the perfection of the individual's physical, astral, and mental body in the short and long haul. Occasionally, for my peace of mind, I take the time to engage that prophetic/clairvoyant vision we all possess to understand the love which underlies and supports us through life's struggles and difficulties. Ugolog is a special teacher in this capacity. See Ugolog--A Spirit of Prophecy

May 10, 1999

Achaiah is one of the 72 spirits of the sphere of Mercury. He is especially good in the area of world peace meditations. This is an area of magick in which I feel comfortable and at home. I offer one such meditation and method for influencing national leaders and accelerating political evolution on this planet. It is all good and fine for the prophet Isaiah to proclaim that "they shall beat their swords into plowshears and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation neither shall they learn war anymore." He said that about 2800 years ago. But it seems to me that this prophecy is one of those things for which you have to want it, will it, and make it happen. Otherwise, it remains unfulfilled. See Achaiah

May 8, 1999

Here is a brief description of one of those fabulously beautiful spirits who inhabit the sphere of Venus. Obideh is one of the 83 spirits of Venus described briefly by Frnaz Bardon in The Practice of Magical Evocation. I also discuss briefly the concept of a magical incarnation, the woman who seems to embody some of Obideh in herself, as well as some of the requisites for working with Venusian teachings and practices regarding love. Obideh is one of the first eight spirits of Venus relating to Aries who specialize in sexuality, sexual magick, and the use of the polarities of masculine and feminine energy for making charms, etc.

March 22, 1999,

I added a ten page meditation on the kind of power and will which some of the salamanders which Bardon describes possess. Aphtiph, for example, embodies that kind of absolute will and faith which from time to time appears in human history in a great prophet, sovereign king, or revolutionary. The essay is a product of my meditating with Aphtiph on how to translate the energy of his aura into something we can use and learn for ourselves. If there is any one energy the spiritual world has commanded me to master, it is this one. I have been at it for over two decades and it still is not easy. The Salamander Aphtiph. Here is also a poem, an elegy, for someone I knew who died recently. She was one of three Americans murdered in Columbia in early March. An Elegy

February 2, 1999.

This is an extension of the commentary on the physical level exercises in chapter 2 for Bardon's Initiation into Hermetics. These exercises explore some further aspects of basic lung and pour breathing. Pour Breathing Explorations

January 15, 1999.

I am adding a review of the three exercises in Bardon's Initiation into Hermetics, chapter 3, physical level. I also have a commentary on the first of these exercises. Bardon expects his students to attain to a supreme mastery of the life force, at least as much as what you may observe in some of the great Swamis and yogis of our planet. This exercise is second step in that direction. Chapter 3, physical level.

January 14, 1999.

I had a request concerning the spirits of the sphere of Mars. Idida I have been working with lately. His Virgo energy is kind of natural for me. Gibsir is a spirit governing Mars in Aries. I worked with him a number of years ago. Mar's spirits are rather difficult to understand unless absolute power has touched your life or else forced you to wrestle with its might. But when you have grown up in the 1950's and watched thermonuclear explosions on TV you are witnessing the sphere of Mars being invaded by human beings. For Idida For Gibsir

January 6, 1999.

Continuing with a commentary on Bardon's Initiation Into Hermetics, I have included some notes on the exercises for the physical level of the second chapter. Chapter Two, Physical Level Exercises I have also added a brief description of an earthzone spirit named Romasara. Since Romasara specializes in pranayama and drawing vitality into the body through breath, it is appropriate to introduce some of his ideas as they relate to Bardon's physical level exercises. Romasara

December 19, 1998.

Emrudue, the head of the seventh mansion of the moon, specializes in granting wishes and bringing happiness, success, luck, and fulfillment. He is perhaps one of the most remarkable spirits in this regard of the over 550 spirits which Franz Bardon describes.

November 30, 1998

These are some of my notes on evoking Ebvep, the Head of the Eleventh Mansion of the Moon. Wiccans often evoke goddesses of the moon. In the Western Hermetic tradition, there are twenty-eight moon mansions. Franz Bardon lists the head spirits of these twenty-eight mansions. Ebvep is certainly one of the more difficult spirits of the lunar zone to work with but this is not because he is aloof. He works with the entire matrix of life and the dense vibrations of energy through which the earth and the moon connect. Part of my interest in Bardon's system is philosophical. I have received what I consider extremely impoverished theological and philosophical systems from my Western and Oriental heritages. Consequently, a great deal of what I do is exploratory in nature. I want to understand the relation of body, soul, mind, spirit, nature, history, and human destiny. I want to understand love not just as a moral, ethical, personal, and spiritual virtue. I want to understand love in the way God used it as a means for creating the universe. A spirit such as Ebvep goes a long way toward leading me to where I can understand this through direct experience.

November 5, 1998

I added my commentary and suggestions for the basic exercise relating to attaining magical equilibrium in the second chapter psychic level of Initiation into Hermetics. See Chapter 2, Psychic Level Exercise

November 4, 1998

I added some essays relating to the basic practices on the psychic level in Chapter 2 of Bardon's book, Initiation into Hermetics. An essay on Transcendence relates to a ritual or pathworking which I would like to suggest for beginning Bardon magicians who wish to keep their devotional life in focus. An essay on The Shadow in Psychology and Magick points out some basic psychological and spiritual principles relevant for those who are working on attaining magical equilibrium. An essay on Negative Spirits is about one of the dangers possible in the Bardon system of practice. Since Bardon's work has such a strong emphasis and disclosure of Divine power and will, it is perhaps inevitable that those practicing his system will be closely monitored by negative spirits. But, after all, that is their job. They naturally notice and of course test those who seek to develop unusal levels of will power especially of a magical nature. An essay on Jvar who is a spirit of the earthzone--3 degrees Leo--who specializes in magical equilibrium. Jvar has been of assistance to me in the past in working through personal difficulties and I would share some brief descriptions of what he is like. I also have posted some information on Bagoloni a spirit of 12 degrees Gemini in the earthzone who specialzes in telepathy. I have added some new material on Jachil a spirit of 3 degrees Gemini in the earthzone who I have been working with recently. And finally I have a description of both the positive spirit and negative counterpart in the earthzone of Tagora. Tagora is a spirit in Scorpio who specializes in personal love and who is adept in all aspects of pleasure, sensuality, the nervous system, and the chakras. The sign of Scorpio knows a lot about the intensity and depths of desire and it is always nice to work with a spirit who has keen insight into this aspect of human experience.

I sometimes think that Moses could have told 30 different stories of creation if he had had the time. This story of creation was inspired by meditating with Lurchi, one of the spirits of the earthzone which Franz Bardon attributes to the sign of Aries. Since I live in a universe of 200 billion galaxies, the angels who work with God in creating have to pull more weight and exercise more initiative than perhaps previous ages imagined.

August 23, 1998

I continue my work with the archangel Gabriel. I added five pages covering some side effects, processing, and more material on the mental, astral, and physical planes.

July 22, 1998

Here is some old and some new material on the archangel Gabriel. Bardon only occasionally mentions archangels but traditionally Gabriel relates to the sphere of Yesod or the moon so I am including him here under the planetary spheres.

June 25, 1998

I added nine pages of commentary on the second chapter mental level exercises from Bardon's book, Initiation into Hermetics. These are concentrations on the five senses. My comments relate to my own experiences and review some of the psychological, spiritual, and psychic aspects of sensory perception and magical practice.

June 23, 1998

I added a nine page essay on the cosmic letter M.

June 10, 1998

I added two essays which relate to my previous request for assistance in meditating on world peace in regard to specific nations and difficulties. It is important to do crisis management by telepathically and magically encouraging others to work out their problems in a peaceful manner. This is short term stuff. In the long run you have to introduce a higher awareness of karma and the need to pursue political ends which serve the far future and not just immediate gains. Along these lines, I have posted Finding Akasha in Yourself and Finding Saturn in Yourself. The two essays are closely related. Since I am interested in making available to the public the wisdom of the planetary spheres, I need to meet a requirement by the spirits of Saturn to take responsibility for the consequences of this action. The chief Justice of Saturn is also an appropriate spirit to work with in introducing a higher awareness of justice and planetary interests into the goals and actions of nations and their leaders. To this end, I have summarized briefly the Chief Justice of Saturn's aura as a four part meditation.

May 30, 1998

I added A request regarding world peace. This is an open invitation for assistance in meditating to help resolve a difficult world situation, viz., between India and Pakistan. Also, related to the above, I have placed under Earthzone Spirit Evocations Melamo--Development of Will Power. Melamo is one of those earthzone spirits, like Anamil and Bialode, who specializes in the use of divine and magical will for the service of mankind. The use of will to prevent dangerous situations from happening is not quite the same as encouraging or inspiring others to work out their karma in a peaceful manner. To that end, I will post another meditation work called Finding the Saturn Spirit in Yourself which can be used for a variety of situations but especially for developing peace in political and international areas of conflict.

May 4, 1998

I addedIntroduction to Faery Tales and Elemental Beings. This is actually the introduction to a book I am putting together on my dialogues and encounters with elemental beings. The essay borrows from several other short pieces I have posted here. Constructive feedback is appreciated. Also,Introduction to Fire This is a little piece I wrote a while back.

April 23, 1998

I added Introduction to the Psychology of the Four Elements. I also placed this under Basic Training since it relates to establishing what is called a magical equilibrium within oneself. This essay arose out of meditating with the earthzone spirit in Leo named Jvar who specializes in overcoming weaknesses and attaining inner balance.

April 21, 1998

I added a home page for salamanders. This includes parts of essays/stories/dialogues with Orudu, Pyrhum, and Tapheth. An essay on Itumo I already had posted. With Tapheth, I continue the spiritual psychology I am developing which relates to internalizing the nature of elemental beings within oneself. For example, with my essay on Tapheth--Finding the Salamander in Yourself--it is not necessary to do an evocation or practice clairvoyance and so forth. At this point, we are just doing a kind of advanced transpersonal or spiritual psychology. Fire--primoridal and nuclear--is part of my life. I have had clairvoyant dreams for forty years about these flames and so it actually a relief to work with them in a conscious manner.

April 11, 1998

Under Stories and Poems, I added a 20 page or so story called the Fall of Atlantis. I know, I know, there are tons of Atlantean fables trying to pass as the "real thing" in order to capture the minds of the innocent. But I am writing mythology not fact. The purpose of mythology is to tell you how to resolve conflicts and also who we are and what we are meant to be. By the way, the word of power I refer to is from Bardon's third book, The Key to the True Quabbalah. And the poem in the story, You are My Soul--you could say I made up this entire story just so I could figure out a world in which that poem could find a home. Actually the undine Isaphil had a lot to do originally with showing me this vision on the astral plane. For The Fall of Atlantis

I added a commentary on the physical level exercises in Franz Bardon's Initiation into Hermetics. Click Here

April 5, 1998

I have started a new section called Basic Training. This section presents my commentary on the mental. psychic, and physical level exercises in Bardon's book, Initiation into Hermetics. I will try to follow each chapter beginning with chapter 1. You will notice I am better at some things than other things. I do not think it is a big deal to do a commentary. Everyone who works with the Bardon system will have their own thoughts and comments to share based on their experience. I plan also to place here anything I present in a question and answer format. Best of luck to everyone. Click Here

April 1, 1998
