Scrying Through the Inner Eye

When we peer into a crystal ball or gaze into the depths of a black mirror, what exactly are we doing? According to Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy, we're engaging in something far more profound than simply staring at a reflective surface—we're accessing a system of inner senses that bridge the material world and the realm of spirit.

Diana Vaughan: An Outrageous Masonic Conspiracy Theory

On a February evening in 1884, something extraordinary supposedly happened in a secret temple. The Elect Magi and Templar Mistresses of the Order of the Palladium had finally succeeded in summoning Asmodeus, a demon prince who arrived in dramatic fashion—ripping through the temple roof, accompanied by mysterious slow music, wielding a great sword in one hand and the severed tail of St.

Thomas Vaughan: A Real Rosicrucian?

Léo Taxil's legend about Thomas Vaughan reads like occult fiction at its most sensational. According to the hoax, everything changed for the Vaughan line on March 25th, 1645, when Oliver Cromwell granted Thomas Vaughan the privilege of beheading William Laud, the Archbishop of Canterbury. In Taxil's tale, Vaughan steeped a cloth in Laud's blood and burned it as a sacrifice to Satan, who then appeared personally to make a pact.

I have been doing a lot of work on Arnemancy stuff over the last couple of days, with the 2026 Forecast, some blog posts, some upcoming classes, some podcast stuff. It feels good and rewarding. I guess I needed a little bit of a break, but I've missed it.

Happy birthday to Sol Invictus!

@arnemancy@pagan.plus avatar arnemancy , to random

I'm very grateful for all of the fluffy socks, stupid movies, and heartwarming music that happens around the holidays. I wouldn't mind a little more snow, though.

The Quaternary Number

As a learning exercise with DaVinci Resolve, I created a music video for a song I made earlier this year. The song was primarily recorded using a bunch of Korg Volca synthesizers and some additional sound effects and soundscaping in Reaper.

I've closed down my online tarot reading services for a while. I need a break!

@arnemancy@pagan.plus avatar arnemancy , to random

I'm almost done making the song for the next episode of my Arbatel podcast series. I used a tape loop made by my buddy Keats (of fame), and then have been trying to get my synthesizers to make the dirtiest possible noises. I'm liking it, it feels gritty and good.

My nephew and I are going to bake a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving next week. I've never baked any kind of pie before, so this is a first for me. Does anybody have good pie-making advice? What about a good pumpkin pie recipe?

@arnemancy@pagan.plus avatar arnemancy , to random

I'm experimenting a lot with various Korg Volca combinations and some tape loops from Revelator Keats Ross in order to make some cool new background for my next Arbatel episode.

I wonder how we attract more and people to the Fediverse? Many that I've talked to still find it confusing. I'm not entirely sure why!

It does feel good to get back in the editing seat. It took a bit to find my momentum again. I think the extra darkness and colder weather certainly helps!

I am going to shut down my instance, Grimoire.Social. It has been broken for a little while, but it hasn't generated any complaints, because nobody has been using it! The domain is coming up for renewal, and it's expensive. Anyhow, I am going to miss it, but I think it's time for it to go.

@Crazypedia I've spent some time learning Docker, and it's worth the effort. But yeah, some of those new domains are just too expensive to maintain. The .social domains are over $50/year!!
