The ever-present algorithm liked yesterday’s content and is just bursting with suggestions for today’s musings so here goes. The physical underpinning of reality is just a formalization of relations between more than 10 and less than 100 ratios describing physical forces. They are a statement about what we perceive, but we haven’t operationalized perception, so […]
The universe, in all its vast complexity, is governed by a surprisingly small set of rules. None of these laws has any component of morality but are rather 26(currently, there are more that need to be found) fundamental constants that can’t be measured except as statements of relation to one another. What does this mean […]
This book has been on my wishlist for a while and I stumbled across these videos in r/occult on reddit. I am familiar with Lon as he is a luminary in the O.T.O. with whom I have taken initiation, as well as reading his book on the Thoth tarot, which is quite good though I […]
As we take up the Tarot Trumps again with Death, we see that Crowley has yet another divergent view of its meaning, although playing with traditional symbolism enough to make the card intelligible for divination. For the traditional meanings, we can turn to Wikipedia although it is heavily invested in the Waite interpretation. “According to […]
As we’ve given a technique to trigger Kundalini in our discussion of the Tarot card The Hanged Man, this would be an excellent time to discuss what’s known as Kundalini Activation Syndrome as the easy trigger of withholding ejaculation means that many Westerners can invoke an experience for which they are totally unprepared.

The individual in an altered state is uniformly shunned, feared, beaten, incarcerated, or […]
To delve once again into Crowley’s Book of Lies, is to begin to completely unravel the hidden secrets of the Thoth tarot and is this author’s beginning point in deciphering the initiated meanings of the cards. Reading the book for the third or fourth time, after years of yoga and a week long initiation ritual […]
WHEEL AND–WOA! The Great Wheel of Samsara. The Wheel of the Law [Dhamma]. The Wheel of the Taro. The Wheel of the Heavens. The Wheel of Life. All these Wheels be one; yet of all these the Wheel of the TARO alone avails thee consciously. Meditate long and broad and deep, O man, upon […]
Another great tarot resource I’ve come across today, via the moderator of the Thoth tarot FB group I’m a member of is this clickable Kabbalah diagram at https://nofaithinthehumanrace.com/777/index.php?deck=crowley&show777=1&key=1 An interactive diagram of the Tree of Life, it will show the placement of the cards upon the tree, and give an in-depth overview of the cards […]
In looking for more background on alchemy and tarot I stumbled upon this podcast with Robert M. Place the originator of the Alchemical Tarot deck. An accomplished historian of the tarot, he goes into a lot of detail about how the tarot can be an alchemical manual, despite not being the ancient work of wisdom […]
