SIX OF ONE, HALF A DOZEN OF ANOTHER

    The funny thing about evolution, is that it takes just as much faith to believe in some of its theories than it takes the religious person to believe in God. In this universe we live in, there are things that are explained and things that are unexplained; why can't most people just live with that, instead of being dogmatic about their own beliefs and trying to push them onto everyone else. As the old saying goes, the truth of the situation is usually somewhere in the middle of the road.

HEAD SMART Vs HEART SMART

    A person can be as head smart as they want to be. But without morality, common sense and compassion; it all means nothing.

MYSTERIES OF THE MOON

    Have you ever wondered why the moon is so tranquil and makes us feel so at serene? Have you ever wondered if there was a mystical quality to moonlight that could heal, manifest or even open your psychic senses? These questions can only be answered by one person... you. What do you dare to believe and experiment with when the moon rises in the evening sky tonight?

THIS IS YOUR LIFE

    Sometimes other people can cause disruptions in our lives; but we always have the power to take our peace of mind back. Your life is what you make it, not what others impose into your reality.

EVERY DAY MAGICK

    Whether we realize it or not, we are influencing our reality every day. Have you ever wondered why sometimes one positive event in your day can elevate your mood and start you on a "winning streak," for a period of time? Or how one negative occurrence can send your life spiraling into one conundrum after another... Our thoughts, powered by our emotions creates a powerful energy that shapes the universe around us. Simply put, this is what magick at its basic definition really is; and your mind is the alter on which you preform the ritual.

EQUINOX OF THE DEAD

     The Spring Equinox will be here soon; a good time of year to pick up a copy of Equinox of the Dead!

    Equinox of the Dead features two classic tales of the zombie apocalypse. There are no supermen or clever survivalists within these pages; only average human beings who must fight for their lives as hordes of the living dead begin to converge upon the earth. Stories include; WATCHING THE WORLD END, which takes us into the home of Ben Matthews, a paraplegic, as he witnesses the beginning of a ghastly Armageddon through televised news casts. As the reports grow more and more horrific, panic begins to set in; but with phone lines down and no way to call for help, Ben’s only hope is to pray that the undead terror will bypass his area . . . But then the horror begins to unfold, right outside of his own front door. UNDER A BERRY BLUE SKY shows that love can drive us to do strange things, even during a zombie apocalypse. The Spring and Autumn Equinox are the settings for these two tales of terror... Dare to celebrate the coming spring with the Equinox of the Dead!

SUPERSTITION AND NEGATIVE BELIEFS

    I was told by a number of religious folks that a great many things were spiritually bad for me. They told me to never mess with Tarot cards because they were the devil's picture book. But then I started reading them and it has helped a great many people. I was told to never use a Ouija Board because evil spirits would come through them and harass me. So I visited a number of very haunted places with a Ouija Board, and the thing never even worked! I was told to never have an image of a Pagan God or Goddess in my house because demons hung around them, and bad things would happen to me. I have since then acquired a statue of the Moon Goddess, and I think my luck has actually changed for the better since I've owned it! The only thing that can truly harm us spiritually in this world is our own negative beliefs. Don't believe everything you hear, but tests every theory and make sure that it is really true... because most of it will not be!

LET NOTHING HAPPEN BY CHANCE

    There is a force in the universe that responds to our thoughts and words; this is the force that practitioners of magick tap into when preforming their rituals. It is also the force that moves when one prays with focused intent... and it is also the force that shapes your reality everyday as you think, ponder and speak your intentions. Be conscious of that force today and use it to your advantage. Let nothing happen by chance.

WEEKEND READING

    A good way to spend the weekend is to get lost in a good book. No one could command the human language like the great literary masters of the past... so may I suggest the following for weekend reading!

 http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Works-H-P-Lovecraft-Collaborations-ebook/dp/B0090U1QIQ/ref=sr_1_3?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1394707264&sr=1-3&keywords=hp+lovecraft

THE LAW OF TRUE PROSPERITY

    Do what you love in life, even if it does not bring fame and fortune. Which is more valuable; to have all the finer things in life, but work at a job that steals your peace of mind and drains the life out of you? Or to live comfortably and do something that you really love that brings you personal fulfillment and great joy?

MAGICK

    Magick rituals are just psycho-drama that help us get our rational mind out of the way so that the higher mind can do its job. Rituals help us focus so that we can release that "unkown energy" from within that will go forth and change our circumstances. The ultimate goal of magick is to be able to release that energy just by sheer will and the power of thought.

 

THE TWILIGHT GRIMOIRE

    Yes, every so often the blog undergoes a metamorphosis to reflect the changes in life and creativity... (in this case however, it's more of a back to basics.) But anyway, welcome to the Twilight Grimoire, the place where all things are paranormal, creative, occult and sometimes philosophical! What will the withered pages of this book reveal in the days to come... stay tuned to fine out!

BACK TO THE EGG

    Some of you may have noticed that the blog is taking on a more macabre vibe in the last couple of weeks. There have been dark poems, paranormal subjects and even a two part blog on Satanism. I suppose the reason for this is that over the last year, I have found myself getting back to some basics in life... The basics being writing more paranormal and horror type material (fiction and non-fiction,) and planning more projects that evolve around pagan spirituality. My influences of the past have always been ghost stories, HP Lovecraft and spiritual paths that exist more in the twilight of our society. I have always found it to be extremely exciting and fascinating to work with these subjects and for me, they add a certain zest to life that nothing else can! Maybe for some of us, the light is found in the shadows!

SATANISM PART 2

    In delving into the Study of Satanism last summer, I was shocked to discover that much of what we believe about this religion is actually false. The images and rumors of human sacrifice, forbidden rituals and conjuring demons that haunt our darkest nightmares has been proven to be as non-existent as the boogie-man in our closet when we were young children. The interesting thing about Satanism is:

They do not believe in an actual devil, Satan represents human nature, life, strength and the ability of each individual to be who they truly are.

Some Satanists do believe in a literal Satan, but he is more like the pagan god's of old and is the life force energy that is in all things.

They do not worship the Biblical devil; their Satan is a completely different being altogether.

Satanists frown upon and those who do engage in actual devil worship and harm other human beings or animals.

Satanists actually love animals and discourage anyone from harming them for mere sport and cruelty.

Satanists are not racist in any way shape or form; they accept every person for who and what they are without criticism or question.

Satanist do not try to convert others to their religion, they believe everyone has the right and responsibility to seek truth as they see fit.

Satanist promote critical thinking and believe that you should always research a fact before you believe it.

Satanists promote common sense, using logic and educating one's self.

Satanists are not materialists, nor are they greedy for riches; they believe that personal happiness should be above and beyond all else.

Satanists respect nature.

Satanists do practice magick rituals that are closely related to many of the other Pagan religions in the world.

Satanists do not practice black magick. The black arts are something that a devil worshiper might engage in, and Satanists shun such things.

     When you really look at the facts, these people do not seem to be the gruesome individuals that many have made them out to be.... In fact, they do not seem so different from many other people in this world that are on a spiritual path that has meaning for them.

SATANISM PART 1

    Satanism, what do we think of when we see that word? What kind of dark and sinister images does it conjure in our imaginations? I am a studier of religions, I want to know what makes them tick. I've studied many, and last summer I took a look at one that I never thought I would give a second look at... Satanism!

    What were my findings you ask? I'll share them tomorrow on the blog because unfortunately, I'm hitting a bit of a time crunch this morning. But check back tomorrow for my very interesting report on this controversial religion!

THE GREAT LOST ART OF LOYALTY

    It seems that many things are changing in our modern world; one of which is the absents of loyalty among friends, family and spouses. As one who does psychic readings, I get dozens of calls per day where people are beside themselves because someone they cared about exited their lives rudely and abruptly. Some of these relationships are marriages or friendships that have been sustained for years; and suddenly betrayal, harsh words or insults come out of nowhere and the other person is left hurt, in shock and dumbfounded. So why the mass exodus of people in our lives? Why all of the selfishness, rudeness and abandonment? This kind of thing has always happened in our world, but now it seems to have reached an epidemic. And the people doing the abandoning are said to have changed over night; almost as if some alien body snatcher has replaced them or stolen there sanity in the night watches. Whatever the reason for the great lost art of loyalty in our world, I can assure you of this: it is something that is and will continue to alter life as we know it.... and not for the better.

CREATURES OF THE NIGHT

CREATURES OF THE NIGHT

Blood red pentagram

dripping with the wax

of my candle lit intentions.

Incantations 

take flight upon the northern wind

swirling through the universal grid

changing the shape of my destiny.

I implore strange God's

as I mock the herd

who bow down to their indifferent master.

I sore on the wings of Lucifer rising,

and become something that mere mortals fear.

I am one,

with the creatures of the night.

TRUE SPIRITUALITY

    True spirituality allows you to embrace who you are; it never weighs heavily upon your soul or extinguishes your true nature.
