Christians tell me happy Easter. Pagans tell me happy Ostara. Stop. Just stop. I don’t celebrate either. I’m a Thelemite. I celebrate these holidays. I should just smile and say, “happy Easter” back, but I can’t. I would feel inauthentic if I gave the illusion that I had any inclination to give two shits about…
Occasionally, I will hear people talking about how Aleister Crowley advocated sacrificing children, making bloody sacrifices, or killing things. A quicky rundown: Bloody sacrifice: Usually period blood. Killing children: Semen. “Kill me” or getting killed: Having an orgasm. Many of Aleister Crowley’s writing are cryptic in nature. This is why it’s called “occult” since the…
An asexual is a person who does not feel sexual attraction for other people. Sex magick is the art of using sexual energy to create change. This can mean using orgasm or sexual arousal as gnosis, or just using sexual imagery as symbolism in a ritual. From first glance, you might think that by definition…
This might draw some ire, but I think it needs to be said. There is a movement I have been seeing online and in person at protests with signs that read, “hex the patriarchy.” I have seen a lot of people rolling their eyes at this and I can understand why. However, I think it’s…

It was early 2011 and I was a mess. I was overdosing on synthetic marijuana (white rabbit) on the regular and my marriage was falling apart. I was making my own absinthe and my own ayahuasca. The early ’10s were a fun time, but probably also the weirdest time in my life. However, I am…
Many are passionate about their faiths and spiritual practices. Some of choose to express outwardly through awesome merch. Pins, patches, t-shirts, and the works. I’ve compiled a list of places you can get cool Thelemic merch. This list is completely arbitrary and is mostly of stores I’ve bought from before or had suggested to me…
Over the course of the last decade, the conversation on gender has changed. We started talking about how gender was on a spectrum, and nobody is squarely on one side. It is socially recognized, medically recognized, and governments are starting to make laws around nonbinary people. But is that enough? I believe that everything in…
Over the years I had heard chatter that people who were mentally ill were somehow more drawn to the occult than neurotypical individuals. I laughed it off as hearsay, and assumed those I knew in the occult community acted as anecdotal evidence for what sounded like an insipid rumor. I brought my concerns to David…
On December 16th, 2016 I was baptized into Eccleisa Gnostica Catholica. They are responsible for performing Aleister Crowley’s Liber XV: The Gnostic Mass which is the central ritual of Ordo Templi Orientis. Most people are familiar with Christian baptism. Wear a white robe, have a guy dunk you in the water, and then say something…
