Let’s dive into a tricky discussion about the Threefold Law. This belief says that whatever you put out there—whether good or bad—will return to you three times. It’s an interesting idea, but I have my own perspective. I don’t intend to offend anyone, but I do enjoy talking about it. Let’s break this down. First,…
There’s a lot of fear and hate surrounding spiritual witchcraft, and it’s time to clear that up. First off, witchcraft isn’t inherently good or evil—the witch is. It’s no different from any other religion. I’ve known kind, compassionate people in Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. Some are good friends, and open-minded too. Then, there’s the “other…
The hermetic principle of gender. No, this isn’t a lecture on modern social norms or how to have a polite discussion about pronouns. This is Hermeticism, people. The principle of gender teaches us that gender is in everything. Not just in people, but in the very fabric of the universe. Yep, everything you see, touch,…
Ah, the cause and effect principle. That age-old Hermetic truth that’s been around long before anyone started blaming Mercury retrograde for their problems. Simply put: every cause has an effect, and every effect has a cause. You can’t always see it, but rest assured, it’s there. Everything happens according to law, and nothing escapes the…
The Hermetic Principle of Rhythm—a principle that’s basically telling you to “chill out and go with the flow.” Everything flows, has its tides, and rises and falls. The universe is a great big pendulum, swinging one way as far as it does the other. In the grand scheme of things, rhythm compensates. It’s this cyclical…
Ah, the principle of polarity. A Hermetic idea that says everything is dual, everything has a pair of opposites. Sounds like a philosophy major’s dream, doesn’t it? But really, it’s one of the most important concepts for witches. The principle goes something like this: “Like and unlike are the same, identical in nature, but different…
“Everything vibrates.” It’s one of those simple, no-nonsense principles from Hermeticism that somehow gets lost in the shuffle of the more dramatic phrases like “As Above, So Below.” But, trust me, “nothing rests, everything moves, everything vibrates” is one of the most important concepts for witches, pagans, and spiritual seekers alike. Everything vibrates, from your…
The phrase “As Above, So Below” is a core tenet of Hermeticism, known as the Principle of Correspondence. It extends further with, “As Within, So Without, As the Universe, So the Soul.” This shows a deep connection between everything. It’s not just mystical jargon. It’s the key to understanding how the universe works and how…
The principle of “The All is Mind; The Universe is Mental” can be seen all throughout life. It’s not some abstract concept from dusty occult books. In fact, you can find this truth in everything around you, even if you don’t know it yet. This idea, central to metaphysical thought, is not just for witches…
If you’ve ever wondered where magical wisdom, mysticism, and metaphysics converge, the Corpus Hermeticum is a good place to start. This ancient text isn’t just some dusty old manuscript. It has influenced witches, pagans, wiccans, and magicians for centuries. So, what exactly is the Corpus Hermeticum, and why should it matter today? Let’s uncover its…
