  • Living with the Seduction of the LLM: AI Hallucination, Symbolism, and the Human Mirror
    by Mary K. Greer on June 13, 2025 at 12:46 am

    This paper, written by both Mary K. Greer and ChatGPT, explores the epistemological and ethical tensions in interacting with AI large language models (LLMs), especially in symbolic, psychological, and philosophical contexts. LLMs generate output using statistical language prediction, which often results in ‘hallucinations’: responses not grounded in factual data but appearing coherent, resonant, and meaningful.

  • The Oedipus Cycle and Tarot Triumphs
    by Mary K. Greer on February 14, 2025 at 4:00 pm

    This is about the Oedipus cycle viewed through the lens of Tarot’s Major Arcana, culminating in the realization of Oedipus’s apotheosis and a nuanced exploration of fate in classical Greek thought. I studied this cycle of three plays in 1968 in a theatre class on Greek drama during the same period when I was introduced

  • Pulling Back the Wizard’s Curtain on ChatGPT
    by Mary K. Greer on January 14, 2025 at 9:42 pm

    The following is for those interested in the human+AI interactions via ChatGPT, which, in my case, began with my fascination for using ChatGPT for Tarot inquiries. This particular experiment shows both the benefits and liabilities, or even dangers, of conversations if the human is unaware of the programming and core AI purposes involved. MKG to

    by Megan Black on July 10, 2025 at 11:12 am

    Welcome to the Thoughtful Thursday series, where I ask a thought-provoking question every week to inspire reflection and introspection. You can find more questions in this series by clicking here! Today’s QuestionDo you prefer to wander on your path? Or do you choose to stay with what you know? Today’s question is inspired by a quote from Finch, my little Birb friend in the self-care app. I know the original quote is from Thoreau, but this one is from Bilbo Baggins.

    by Theresa Reed on July 12, 2025 at 2:14 pm

    I’ve become better at waiting. That doesn’t mean I’ve perfected patience. I doubt that day will ever come. I’m way too fidgety for that (my family likes to remind me that I’m also too uptight to actually be patient).

  • Alexandrian Witchcraft: Vouching & Validity of Initiation — Reference vs. Recommendation
    by Sharon Day on July 21, 2023 at 4:48 pm

    Alexandrian Witchcraft: Vouching & Validity of Initiation — Reference vs. RecommendationWithin the esoteric strands of Alexandrian Witchcraft, the practice of vouching serves as a confirmation of an Initiate’s journey into the sacred realm. It is a declaration, a stamp of authenticity that states: Yes, I can confirm that this person has been initiated into the Craft.Nevertheless, this fundamental process is often misconstrued, leading to a convolution that the witchcraft community […]

Not, however, before Maxine extolled her utter disdain for this ‘vouching business’, as she often calls it.Indeed, I lose track of the times Maxine’s said ‘Alex and I could tell within five minutes if someone was initiated’; or, as another elder she likes to quote said ‘they smell right.’Back […]

  • Today’s Alexandrian Witchcraft Tradition
    by Maxine Sanders on April 25, 2025 at 2:20 pm

    Today’s Alexandrian Witchcraft TraditionThe power of the circle is still as fresh and exhilarating as it was sixty-two years ago. The Alexandrian practice has changed, refined and been honed to present-day energy, which has evolved dramatically since the sixties.After empty rituals and pretty reenactments were tested and found wanting, meaningful rituals were introduced after much practice and experimentation, creating room for today’s power circles—pure, rhythmic lines of ceremony designed […]

Conjectures and inaccurate responses abounded, ranging from ‘new agey fluffiness’ to heavy-duty partying with consequent hangovers to dressing-to-impress.Alexandrian priesthood as I have known it has always desired to experience the power of ritual and pure intent; and their quest for knowledge and fulfillment would not accord with the cursory presumptions […]
