Meta-Magick
Everything about Meta-Magick


How the Ibisystem happened - and how you can learn it.
I began to use NASA's database to refine the system. Using Abrahadabra, I developed a system that could be compared to a magickian's blockchain: a series of countably infinite discoverable magical cubes (EBPSes: Emirp Bracketed Palatial Systems:) that could assist in hosting the magickal fields that my calendrics emmitted and which also was usable for memorizing starmaps.

A PhD in Magic - Polymath vibes
As above, so below! It's true - I was awarded the doctorate in 2019 for this thesis (you can read it!) Anyways the whole thing was a whirlwind: it took me 10 years to write. I think that as with all PhD work, it became kind of a battery: it is my definitive statement on magic? Hardly - but is it important? Definitely. In a nutshell I decided to tackle the problem of a universal definition of magic - and I failed - but I failed really well, and in the process invented a syst

The Week of the Empress
She is the all-mother and her love is unconditional and total. When we witness this energy, it begins a process where we ourselves integrate and become whole.

Patterns of Character
Character is normally understood as being a consistency with principles and values that hold together, and people of character are viewed as fair, consistent, and trustworthy. One of the reasons that math is compelling to the human mind is that it is trustworthy. Math, essentially has character. That is its strength.

Strength and Death
Strength and struggle are married, it is clear. There is something about "rising to the occasion" that brings this path to its mature stage. It is not force of violence, in my opinion, but rather courage. In a sense, Strength manifests at its most profound when we face into that which terrifies us the most. Fear is a good indicator. Turn towards it. Face, it. Hold. The term Hormesis refers to good stress which makes the body stronger. I think this path involves a Hormesis of

Ogdoad/Infinity
The lemniscate, or "infinity symbol" references the power of the eight, the Ogdoad. In numerous pantheons and philosophies, 8 is a symbol of stability, strength, and eternal recurrence.
There is something inherent to the number itself - the way we find it in nature by pushing the concept of 4 directions one step further. This same logic is also how we can proceed from the 4 natural stations of the Sun (Solstice-Equinox-Solstice-Equinox) to the idea of an eightfold "Wheel of

The Chinese Lion
The Chinese Lion is a powerful symbol of strength and community power. Because the lion dance uses the same basic footwork as the Kung Fu systems, it can be considered to be part of those arts.

The Great Abyss
There comes a time however, when a greater abyss looms before us - this is the gap between the personal and the transpersonal, and it is traversed essentially by offering the adept consciousness as a gift to eternity - as a sacrifice. We relinquish control to the divine plenum having obtained that control for (and of) ourselves. We turn our will and our lives over to the ultimate horizon of reality. It is wise to take one's time in preparing this gift.

Strength is Care
Strength is care. Putting care into, taking care of, caring for, self care, other care, carefulness. Strength is care, read that again. When we draw this card, it is time for us to take a stand, to hold a position, to do something that matters. It is time to be like a bridge and bring the sought for into the present. Care about it, bring it about. It is an investment of energy which brings a return. Turning into the stress of life, awake and with care, makes us strong and reg

Week of the Wheel
It's Friday, and the time of The Wheel is now. Fortune is an amplification and an entrance into another dimension. So, for most, this is "good" fortune, simply because it is an expansion of the investments which we have made in terms of our labors, our interests, our works - they find expression in a plane that is exponentially greater than they themselves (as investments) were. There is a "return" on our investment - what we have sowed, we will reap. But it is also important
