I was walking a complex route to another part of the city when I realised I was dreaming, so I cried up at the sky: ‘I wish to scry the eleventh aethyr, ICH!’ I didn’t wake, but carried on with my journey, noticing that the route now seemed to be trending downwards. There was a [...]

The Vision of LOE (Aethyr 12)
Posted in Astral, Etheric, tagged Enochian magick, lucid dream, vision on April 8, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I am looking through a window at the rain. Realising I am dreaming, I haul myself through the glass and shout the evocation at the sky: ‘I wish to scry LOE, Aethyr Twelve!’ I feel my body dissolve and I wake. But I sense the lucid state is still close, so I make myself still [...]
The Vision of ZIM (Aethyr 13)

It takes a long time before I find the lucid state, but finally I’m in my parents’ house, looking out through the window of my old bedroom, and I realise I must be dreaming. ‘I wish to scry the thirteenth aethyr, ZIM,’ I shout, and push myself through the window, which feels mushy like jelly. [...]
The Rite of Morpheus and the Powerlessness of Prophecy

The Rite of Morpheus I took three dessert spoons of valerian root and added them to one and a half litres of filtered, boiling water. Covering the pot, I kept it at a rolling boil for twenty minutes, with the window open and the extractor fan running because valerian badly stinks. Next I added three [...]
The Vision of UTI (Aethyr 14)
Posted in Astral, tagged aethyr, Enochian magick, vision on March 1, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
The lucid dreaming state arrives and I’m in a school. There are children everywhere, so I take the nearest exit to find a private space. It’s a fine, sunny day. Schoolgirls surround me. They know what I’m doing and jokingly try to distract me by jostling and shouting. But I look to the sky and [...]
Scrying Enochian Aethyrs in the Lucid Dreaming State
Posted in Astral, Etheric, tagged Aleister Crowley, Enochian magick, lucid dream on February 15, 2011 | 4 Comments »
‘By doing certain things certain results will follow,’ wrote Aleister Crowley. Makes sense. But what are the parameters for ‘doing certain things’? For instance, to scry the Enochian aethyrs one recites the Nineteenth Enochian Call. But what is ‘reciting the Nineteenth Enochian Call’? And what happens if we decide not to bother? I tried an [...]
The Vision of OXO (Aethyr 15)

I’m looking at a book that I’ve written, filled with coloured images and text. A critic’s voice says approvingly, ‘It is a book of parodies. Some are gentle and some are cruel, but all are united in being parodies.’ [Perhaps this is a key for how to read what follows.] Then I become aware of [...]
A Contemporary Form of Chöd
Posted in Astral, Meditation, tagged chöd, dzogchen, ghost, Machig Labdron, Meditation, paranormal investigation on November 14, 2010 | 10 Comments »
On its surface, the Alone With Ghosts project was a charity fund-raiser with a paranormal theme, but it was my secret aim to combine ghost-hunting with serious meditation. Partly for practical reasons, because how else would I make it through the night without becoming (1) bored, or (2) uncontrollably terrified? Apart from the weird noises [...]
The John Dee Working

Near the end of September, 2010, Alan and I travelled to Mortlake in London, to contact the spirit of the Elizabethan magus, Dr. John Dee, near the site where his house once stood by the River Thames. Our first call was the Saturday coffee-morning at the Church of St. Mary the Virgin. Dee is rumoured [...]
The Liberation of Ronove
Posted in Astral, Etheric, Outrageous Acts of Sorcery, tagged demon, dreaming, exorcism, goetia, Ronove, tarot, The Tibetan Book of the Dead on August 6, 2010 | 14 Comments »
If you can summon a demon and bind it to your will, why couldn’t you liberate it into everlasting luminosity and peace? But if you did, would that demon be gone for good? Would other magicians still be able to work with it? Suppose someone summoned each demon of the Goetia in turn and compelled [...]
