❂  E S O T E R I C A  ❂

Behind the veil of the reality we know, there lies hidden knowledge, perhaps only of interest to a select few.  Over the years, I have enjoyed trying to introduce this knowledge in the various menus and related pages on this site.  Below you will find a compendium of these, each one of heartfelt intent and purpose from the day they were made, my energy and enthusiasm no less present for each of them now.  Should you decide to read any one, or try your luck at choosing a random page to read, I would be pleased to know you have found inspiration and interest.

To sample what you may find before reading, I am providing a brief glossary of terms which can be found among the pages.  If you find them of interest, then chances are good you will enjoy your time in the pages which follow.

Alchemy: a three-stage process of change and transformation.

Magick (or Magic): the fabric and dynamic of reality; or, a shift in perspective of reality where mystery and symbols hold power.

Mystery: [when in lowercase] not known or knowing, hidden; [when capitalized] the ineffable design and functioning of the universe, and what lies beyond.

Personal Power: the ability to experience and do what we want.

Tantra: relaxing into reality unto the experience of its source.

Vedanta: a philosophy by which we know ourselves to be the ultimate reality.

If you have found any of the terms of interest above, then I hope you will enjoy the pages below.  (Simply click the square button below a page description to visit the corresponding page.  You can also click any picture to go to a random page listed below it.)

Kali

A goddess from India representing all, from everyday life to ultimate reality.

Divination

A means of direction outside of our conscious awareness, for thoughtful consideration, if not direct knowing.

Spiritual Guidance

I welcome any who inquire sincerely into this and find this to be the right next step for the journey.

Magick

Here I introduce my definition of magick, along with relevant approaches to it.

Magick (Original Version)

Contains my formal definition of magick, along with how I may practice it or not, emphasizing the importance of wielding its power for self-agency.

Wonder of Magic

Although using a different spelling of it here (pun intended), I refer to magic as the makeup of reality and cite an occasion when it surfaces in life.

The Virgin's Promise

Before I discovered the steps to a fulfilling life in alchemy, I came across the Virgin's Promise as an archetype outlining the path to such a life.  This archetype is synonymous with the map of life found in the Wonder of Magic page, but I acknowledge the source of the archetype here, and in some ways I like this presentation better.

Lens of Alchemy

I introduce alchemy as a means of seeing the hidden layers of reality, or, the very esoterica you are reading here.  Its stages of transformation are formally presented, along with an overview of its path to wholeness.

Alchemy in Practice

One of the most practical esoteric pages I have created, it outlines the stages of alchemy again and gives further interpretations and examples for how they can be applied to life--I highly recommend!

Alchemy

A nice succinct take on alchemy which could almost be interchangeable with my Lens of Alchemy page.  This is the first page I created for alchemy.

Personal Power

As the ability to experience and do what we want, personal power can be channeled towards living a fulfilling life.  You can find out more about this ability here and inquire into assessing your own use of personal power.

Tantra and Vedanta

I explain my affinity for both the Indian traditions of Tantra and Vedanta, providing a brief glimpse into each.  I can never say enough about either of these and find them to be entirely compatible with and complementary to each other.

Legacy

I am happy to capture, share, and allow a transmission of truth with you here.  Beginning with this page, I am on the red path of alchemy, turning to gold, or hoping to do so, with you.

Legacy (Original Version)

I am not sure I have ever been as candid in my sharing here, and I think it is quite personal and loving and true what I share.  I still hold to these words and feelings and truth.

The Golden Key

I am highlighting how the awareness of our joy and freedom opens the doors to us knowing who we really are, this the golden key to our understanding.

Tantric Tuesday: One

A personal course designed for one, I cover Daniel Odier's Desire book along with my own experiences, tying in music videos throughout.  Done over four hours, I enjoyed conceiving and leading this and do not think the person whom I spontaneously made this for would mind me sharing this now again.

Tantric Tuesday: Two

The present moment is discussed, and like with each hour, there are questions for reflection, a quote to challenge thought, and a relevant video linked to the page.

Tantric Tuesday: Three

We focus on Tantra itself here, not trying to depend too much on it, or on any spiritual path.  An attempt is made to see how in modern India the conceptions of Tantra are not always positive.

Tantric Tuesday: Four

I begin thinking of the topic of magick or the possible powers inherent in ourselves here, wondering along with you what might be done with any power we have.
