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…
When you dive into the realms of occultism, one name keeps popping up: Hermes Trismegistus. This figure, also known as Thoth in Egyptian mythology, holds a significant place in ancient wisdom and spiritual teachings. To the Egyptians, Thoth was the god of wisdom, knowledge, and time. He had the body of a man, the head…
Let’s face it: being an empath can feel like living with a superpower you didn’t ask for. It’s not all sunshine and roses when you’re constantly absorbing other people’s emotions like a sponge. Sure, it can be beautiful and healing, but also downright exhausting. If you’re one of those lucky folks with this “talent,” I’m…
Telepathy, a function of ESP, or Psi, is a remarkable psychic talent. Like other psychic gifts, it tends to overlap with others, like Empathy or Clairvoyance. During in-person tarot readings at our metaphysical shop or online tarot readings, I “hear” some of my client’s thoughts. Sometimes it’s very clear. Other times, it’s like trying to…
Precognition, I’m sure you’ve heard of it: the mysterious, mystical ability to foresee the future. You know, that moment when a friend casually mentions they had a vivid dream about you winning the lottery, or when someone says they knew something was going to happen before it did. Yes, I’m talking about precognition. It can…
Being an empath can be very difficult, even painful for most. I have helped a lot of people in life, especially at our metaphysical shop, learn to dance with this talent.
