Scrying into Mercury
[This is a practical demonstration of Scrying which I presented to the Welsh Occult Conference at Welshpool Town Hall on Saturday 16th May 2026. My talk started at 12.15pm: prior to the meeting I calculated that this fell within the planetary hour of Mercury. One of the important points I emphasised in my talk is that when scrying, one should be mindful of the time chosen to do so: so for…

Happy Abramelin Season 2026!
Artwork © Alex Sumner 2026 Today is Easter Monday, and hence, the day on which to begin the Abramelin Operation according to the original book. I wish good luck to all those beginning the operation today, and I hope all goes well with you.

Small Prophets
“Small Prophets does for Alchemy what A Dark Song did to Abramelin … but funnier.” Like A Dark Song, “Small Prophets” takes tremendous liberties with its subject matter, i.e. Alchemy. Also like that infamous film, no-one would be able to practice Alchemy properly after watching it. Also like the film, Small Prophets has the power to raise public consciousness about Alchemy, as in people are…

The Greenland Pentagram Ritual
This is based upon a ritual devised by Dion Fortune to defend her country, the United Kingdom, from invasion by hostile forces in the Second World War. In a previous post, I suggested that a similar ritual could be adapted to defend Ukraine. Today, I propose that such a ritual can be utilised to defend Greenland from invasion by hostile forces, whichever country they might come from. It goes as…

Review: “Teaching System of the Golden and Rosy Cross,” by Bernard Beyer, translated by Ian H Gladwin
“Teaching System of the Golden and Rosy Cross,” by Bernard Beyer, translated by Ian H Gladwin This is the first major book available in English which goes into detail about the “Golden and Rosy Cross,” the Masonic Rosicrucian Order deriving from Germany in the 18th century. I say “in English” because Bernard Beyer’s original text was first published in German back in 1925: it had remained…

Review: “Spirit Builders: a Free Illuminist approach to the Antient & Primitive Rite of Memphis+Misraïm,” by Palamas.
“Spirit Builders: a Free Illuminist approach to the Antient & Primitive Rite of Memphis+Misraïm,” by Palamas. Peace profound, my Brethren! Salutations on all points of the triangle, and honour to the order! During 2025 I had the honour to have conferred on me the 95º of Memphis Misraim, that of Patriarch Grand Conservator. It occurred to me that, seeing as I am now a nominal holder of all the…

Review: “Golden Dawn Rituals: rites and ceremonies for groups and solo magicians,” by Chic Cicero & Sandra Tabatha Cicero.
Golden Dawn Rituals: Rites and Ceremonies for Groups and Solo Magicians, by Chic Cicero and Sandra Tabatha Cicero In an article I wrote for “The Light Extended” in 2021, I outed myself as the Cancellarius of a Golden Dawn temple.[1] One of my main points consisted of describing the lengths to which I went to find monthly activities for our temple whilst we were on lockdown: by raiding such works…

Review: “Light In Extension: a history of Bradford’s 1888 Golden Dawn Temple Horus No. 5,” by Melissa Seims.
“Light In Extension: a history of Bradford’s 1888 Golden Dawn Temple Horus no. 5,” by Melissa Seims Across the skin of the Earth lie certain nodal apertures where power seeps through from dimensions older than humanity’s first stirrings. Glastonbury, Stonehenge, Macchu Picchu, the Pyramids – these are but the more widely whispered of such vortices. Yet there exists another, veiled beneath the…

I shall be returning to the Welsh Occult Conference next year – Saturday 16th May 2026, where I shall be presenting a piece on Scrying. This will be held in Welshpool, a different venue to this year’s conference, but it does have the benefit of being closer to public transport for those eager to get there. Needless to say, I shall post more details about the event as soon as I get them myself.
