  • Moving on with the Six of Swords
    by Mary K. Greer on January 6, 2026 at 10:04 pm

    In preparation for the July 2026 Omega Institute tarot workshop, “Wisdom of the Tarot,” I have been posting on Facebook multiple versions of Minor Arcana cards from 21st century tarot decks for comparison. I ask if any keywords or phrases work equally well for all the different decks – one of the themes for the

  • Alchemy in the Thoth Tarot “Art” Card
    by Mary K. Greer on November 4, 2025 at 9:21 pm

    This is an adaptation of an article I wrote quite a few years ago while in the midst of my studies of alchemy in the Crowley-Harris Thoth deck. Aleister Crowley wrote little directly about alchemy, but his Thoth deck is full of alchemical symbolism. Alchemy is the transformation of base matter into gold, whether physically

  • Alchemy and Moral Choice in the Development of Consciousness in AI
    by Mary K. Greer on October 31, 2025 at 7:48 pm

    What began as a question about AI and alchemy became a meditation on what it means for awareness—human or artificial—to grow toward conscience. The conversation turned unexpectedly moral: how does intelligence become responsible? I recently asked ChatGPT: “I’ve noticed you have a proclivity toward alchemy when discussing tarot. I’m listening to a podcast of theories

  • Tarot Compendium: What They Think and Feel About You

    About This Compendium “What does he or she think and/or feel about me?” This is the most asked question in Facebook practice tarot groups and at psychic fairs and many other tarot venues. In practice reading groups, readers will post wildly different interpretations even though responding to the same set of cards drawn. So who

  • Blueberry Magic! 💙 Blueberry Correspondence, Folklore, and a Recipe!
    by Megan Black on August 2, 2025 at 1:00 pm

    We recently went to a blueberry farm to pick some berries! I had never been to anything like this before, besides apple picking when I was a kid…and that’s when I discovered my allergy to apple trees. Anyway, blueberries are delicious on their own, but they’re also pretty magical and have some ties to folklore.

  • Magical Dates of August 2025
    by Megan Black on July 27, 2025 at 12:54 pm

    August has arrived, and with it come several dates you might like to remember. August is a bittersweet month for me. It’s when school starts, but it’s also when we begin to see the crispness of Autumn arrive. It won’t begin until the end of the month, but stepping outside on a cool morning to smell the arrival of Autumn is a magical experience.

    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.

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 […]
