  • Tarot’s Future Development: 10, 20, and 50 Years Hence
    by Mary K. Greer on August 8, 2025 at 9:27 pm

    With the appearance of ChatGPT 5 being heralded as the greatest thing yet, I decided to see what it would have to say about the future of tarot. My first prompt only repeated things that I see already happening (we are in the future already). So I asked for a longer range vision that follows. … … Continue reading →

  • Transparent Tarot Readings
    by Mary K. Greer on August 4, 2025 at 4:38 pm

    What is a “transparent reading style” in tarot? I use this term to describe one element of what I do in a reading. First, it is a continuum and not an absolute. Essentially, it is including acknowledgement of where/how I’m getting information and meaning from the cards and from my interaction with the querent. You … … Continue reading →

  • 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. … … Continue reading →

  • 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 … … Continue reading →

  • 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 […]

  • Grace Under Fire: Stirring Kindness in a Pot of Pettiness
    by Maxine Sanders on July 25, 2025 at 3:32 pm

    As 2025 progresses, a quiet yet unmistakable shift is stirring within the magical and occult communities. Perhaps the storm clouds of recent squabbles are finally dispersing, or possibly we are just exhausted from the endless tempest of ego. Maybe, just maybe, we’re recalling what drew us to this path to begin with.Healing, much like the rituals of the circle, refuses to be rushed. It demands patience, presence, and, although rarely admitted, a healthy dash of humour. It’s a comforting […]

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 […]
