You must not live in a house before blessing it and dedicating it, for instance, to one of the seventy-two Spirits of Nature. It is possible to learn the names, attributes and virtues of these Spirits and to invoke their assistance for all kinds of good work. They are always close by and they ask [...]
‘Everything in nature is animate, everything is alive. It is extremely important that you understand and learn to use this great truth. Let me take a very concrete comparison: that of a car in motion. You know that that car you see driving down the road cannot move of its own volition, so there must [...]

Alchemical treatises explain that, in order to obtain the Philosophers’ Stone symbolized by Mercury, the adept has to begin their work exactly as the Sun enters Aries and the Moon enters Taurus, for the Sun is exalted in Aries and the Moon in Taurus. Gemini, the next sign in the zodiacal circle, is the home [...]
'There are several different ways in which we can study the Sephirotic Tree of Life, and one of them involves dividing it into three pillars or columns. Kether, Tiphareth, Yesod and Malkuth form the central pillar, the Pillar of Equilibrium. On one side of this central pillar is the Pillar of Mercy, formed by Chokmah, [...]
