As such, investigation of the “paranormal” needs to take into consideration that all entities exist […] | more
September 20, 2024 Jeremy Grimoire A Method for Entering the Hypogeum A Hypogeum is a vast, subterranean ritual space, both internal and external–- it’s a Liminal Space that acts as a kind of neuron connecting the World of the Unseen and the World of the Senses. It’s the font of the Life Force, and the place to which it returns when all has been completed. It […] | more

September 7, 2024 Jeremy Writings and Whatnot Five Principles for an Animist Approach to the Paranormal 1. Continuity of “Being.” Nature isn’t something you “go to.” The natural world isn’t confined to remote wildernesses or heavily forested parks.

I’ve found that it’s kind of rare to see people using significators these days. I think this is because traditionally the court cards are used, and […] | more
September 1, 2024 Jeremy Writings and Whatnot A Mythic Worldview, or, Zeus Isn’t That Bad Once You Get to Know Him (CW: SA) Over the past few years, I’ve embraced what I’ve referred to in the past as “Ancient Mediterranean Spirituality.” It started with an interest in the deity Asklepios, after a series of dreams about him, during the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic.

August 22, 2024 Jeremy Writings and Whatnot Nymphs, Dryads, and other Nature Spirits Some thoughts on Nymphs and Dryads and “Nature Spirits” I hate the term “Nature Spirit.” As I wrote elsewhere,: Nature isn’t just a collection of biosystems outside of your house; it’s a process in which entities participate.
