The Starry Cave

Freedom and judgment have one thing in common, they are words we are using in reference to something that supresses us, even when we believe freedom doesn’t supress. With suppression I mean anything that questions our purpose, worth, station or valour and seek to control these realms if they are found to be outside the accepted norms of some moral or social law. We find here a polarity between freedom and judgment. I believe we all want to breathe in freedom – save for those who judge and set the laws – that seeks to restrict. In the will to freedom and its restriction we find the cosmic pulse of life and death, and between the beats life goes on. And here in the offbeat – what we know as life – it is all about acting and reacting so we can understand the soul hidden deep within the stone of philosophical possibility. In this offbeat we live out our lives and question everything, but as Derrida commented knowledge is a fickle thing, because we can never be sure that what we...

… is a microcosm and a speculum on which we understand the world outside, the world below and the world above. The shit-storms still happen and the misunderstandings dances around in diabolic delight – just as in the world we call ‘profane’, orderly or civilized. In this little cauldron of occult soup we find the world at its extreme. We find the hater who seeks to kill you, we find the righteous ones that set out to detonate you and we find the judge who seeks to govern the world because of some oedipal complex. The ‘Occult World’ is not a Golden Age, it is living Hell intensely so we can get closer to the nerve of who we are and understand all possible worlds in this way. We tend to think that in a world where everyone is searching ‘enlightenment’ and ‘knowledge’ we will find one another, but nah, the bridges that crosses from a dark soul to a bleeding heart will bring you deeper down and what was confidence broken will unleash hell… As the good Bernard of Clair...

I have been pondering for some time what wordings such as ‘I work with so and so spirit’ and ‘when I asked so and so spirit to give me a work opportunity I got it’ really imply. What is truly at play in asking favours from spirits and to ‘work with spirits’? When you find yourself in one of the crossroads of life searching the palace of opportunity and resort to magic or summoning to move gently through the valley of tribulation to gain open doors, what is going on in this very moment when you approach strange spirits and ask favours? So, allow me to share some musings and thoughts on these themes. I have for some time been intrigued with the mystery of begging and what goes on in the cheap taverns of life and with beggars there are two things that at random intervals shows itself as unique and interesting, matters we perhaps rarely pay attention to because the beggar is only something swift and passing that many pay to get rid of – or pay to help. One factor is the ble...

Sacred Alchemy Store is now offering planetary talismans. A talisman is a receiver and emitter of fluids and waves as well as an insulator or as the ethnologist Dominique Camus defined a talisman: the talisman is a shield imbued with the “forces of the cosmic powers” it has harnessed. In addition to the fact that it is, therefore, infinitely more effective than the amulet, it is not solely a protector. By condensing the active ‘universal forces’ through transference, it puts them at the disposal of the owner. Each of our talismans are made as the inquiry for them is presented and executed in the name of the person who seek to carry the charm, hence the moment of forming a desire and its reception is subjected for astrological analysis (a form of horary astrology) to give an accurate direction for the talisman. All planetary talismans contain proper elected virtues from all possible kingdoms and all talismans are subject to, hymns, fumigations and secret writ in accorda...

“If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.”  - William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell The world is saturated with opinions and demands that we get engaged in something. Our democratic world insists on our active participation in everything that is going on. It is far worse than what Noam Chomsky stated, that today ‘lively debate in a limited spectrum is allowed’, as a means to control debate, nowadays it is encouraged and demanded as the nature of this limited spectrum is carefully mediated by bankers, media, politicians and corporations. We pick up a newspaper as we shudder in disgust, but we read on and get involved. We get worried and we get ill, we get angry and we get catatonic. Still we engage it all because expressing opinion is to express democratic freedom and reflects who we are under the banner of ‘human right...

Osé Èrò means ‘powerful herbs that clean’, but in effectuating an energetic clean-up it also invites in the power of attraction. Osé Èrò is made from osé dudu, or African black soap, which is an ash based product, mainly using the bark and leaves of plantain and cocoa –as well as other herbs such as Shea and Palm oil pods. All vegetalia is sundried and then brought to a process of stirring under heat. Shea butter (which is a natural UV protector) is added to the mixture which is then left aside for two to three weeks to cure. This is the body of the Osé Èrò , which is already in the state it is a powerful medicine in terms of repelling negativity due to its alchemical transformation of benign plants commonly used to venerate Orí, or our consciousness. These plants as they are, is rich in various vitamins (especially A and E) and enzymes that repair the skin, it be wrinkles, blemishes or eczema and in generally maintains the health of the body.  So, this product...

“…whoever is educated [by possibility] remains with anxiety; he does not permit himself to be deceived by its countless falsification and accurately remembers the past. Then the assaults of anxiety, even though they be terrifying, will not be such that he flees from them. For him, anxiety becomes a serving spirit that against its will leads him where he wishes to go.” -           -  Søren Kirkegaard Belief always invites in anxiety, no matter how small it might be, because when we are speaking of belief we are addressing possibility and a security that knows only hooks of clouds, ideas and thoughts laden with securities. The presence of possibility calls us to the crossroad of a thousand worlds where choice and opportunity presents itself. Kirkegaard saw in this form of anxiety an existential dread, which he described as being known from the dizziness it ignited in the believer. The dizziness experienced in front of choices, the dizziness given un...
