    The Magical Formula of I.A.O. first occurs in the Adeptus Minor Initiation of the Golden Dawn, during the Analysis of the Keyword. This evolving Formula is the subject of a chapter from Crowley’s Magick in Theory and Practice, and hints at the blueprint for a Ritual of Initiation.

I focused on some of the core concepts and practices I feel are worth having in the forefront of the mind while engaging with Thelemic materials, including Crowley’s thoughts on channeling ‘genius,’ the skeptical approach, and discipline in mystical and Magical Practices.

    Feb 8 2025

    The Chaldean Oracles of Zoroaster as collated by W. Wynn Westcott are a highly influential, and yet fairly obscure, set of pithy phrases. Gathered from the texts of numerous ancient writers, these ‘oracles’ seem to hint at an entire schema for the cosmos.

Edward Mason and I will take a look at Groundedness, and appreciation for the physical body, as correctives.
