this is my reply to the question above...
& there's more just google...
i just wanted to let you read the golden verses and then if you were interested...
most magick is the same...
whether it's candles or a full ritual with like minded people... you call quatrters, north, south, east and west (in that order),
accoring to your needs of comfort u assign - watch towers, demi-gods, or angels..
then you work your magick (the greatest magick offered to man is unconditional love!)
one draws down a "cone of power," usually planetary but i could be just a chosen set of dieties, for me, -- i use in private practice - apollo & atremis... then you can have the eucrist, thanks the dieties, dismiss - "stay or go do what ever thou wist harming none...
so mote it be..."
as well as - "as above so below & other hermetic thoughts"
there are private, secret practices and things i choose not do disclose...
with out some due consideration as to the motives of any questioner...
and out of respect to my teachers and training...
then u go on with your day...
i hope this will answer some questions...


part of conversation with bob
"yes, the wheel of the year follow patterns just like all nature... days shortner as it approaches the winter solstice & then the day light grows again after the winter solstice -21st of decmeber...
i've taught the pagan calendar, tarot, numerology and have have made it a practice to study other such things astrology for over 40 years now. "
"pagans have gotten a raw deal in our history books"
"yes! the burning time!the catholics stold our holidays, then bastardized al of our beliefs and then when we would turn to accept their "new doctrines" the killsed us off ie., st patrick of ireland..."
"unfortunately, in the world in which we live, artistic hearts are so frequently broken"
"well though boorn in libra i have major scorpio placements & 2 cancer ones...
so though i have heart, i can recoil, hid in my cave & survive well..."
"the heart is a fragile organ"
" don't offer my love easily..but love unconditionally...
that's why i can say to you & other's "please your lug..." --- meaning do what you need to to get by...
i m not that easily offended...
been out in the world to long for that..."
