nonbinary v a p o r w a v e Lenormand

This deck is now available exclusively on my website! The link will take you to the page where it can be purchased and also contains the information about card meanings and a link to the YouTube video where I talk about using Lenormand cards.

I wanted to make this deck for people like myself who do not identify as a binary gender and thus the significator cards in Lenormand decks are inaccurate at best and triggering at worst. Whether you are nonbinary, you read for people who are questioning their gender, or you just like v a p o r w a v e aesthetics these cards might be for you 🙂

Clandestine Ritual is moving to Los Angeles!

This means unfortunately that the label will no longer be doing ATLAntiFest. For more information contact the band Malevich or Commodity Fetish Records.

We will also be partnering with Shitty Occult Comics for some different ventures geared toward shaping young minds so stay posted for that 🙂 🙂 🙂

Biblical Magick

I was reading a short passage from Leviticus to my daughter yesterday — a passage documenting this very detailed sacrifice of a bull and two goats, sprinkling their blood on the mercy seat. One goat was sacrificed, and then of course the other was the scapegoat. That goat was released into the wilderness.

Suzy feigned discontent on the basis of boredom, but I feel like the passage more likely made her uncomfortable because sacrifice ritual is not discussed in the context of magick in church. More often we are taught of the bread and wine ritual which took place at the Last Supper, framed within the sacrifice of Christ but divorced from magick.

The Bible, even in its dilute and corrupt current state, is still full of magickal rituals which are still very useful. Perhaps you are already using this in your life.

A great campaign has been at work within the Christian faith since its inception that there are two sides, good and evil, and if you do not worship the Judaeo-Christian God you are engaged in witchcraft. This is half true. Prayer is also witchcraft.

Depolarization is crucial to truly harnessing the essence of your environment. Mindfulness also helps with this process, but in some cases revisiting seminal belief systems from a completely different context can knock the bottom out of your bucket.

Conspiracy Ritual

Well let’s talk about the cons of piracy. You don’t have to believe in the Illuminati to understand that the people who control our global political system are tapping into a power reaching beyond the corporeal. With the advent of the Information Age they can no longer hide the rituals occurring at Bohemian Grove. Every logo, acronym, or otherwise codified corporate/political object in your life today is a sigil. The key is understanding how to co-opt, use, or subvert these objects and rituals for your own purposes.

I am embedding here one of the links to Alex Jones’ video of the Cremation of Care ritual which is performed as opening ceremony every year. My own project involves creating my own versions of these ancient rituals for personal use. You can try this even on as small a scale as subverting a corporate logo and creating its own meaning for you. It’s a method which results in your personal use of a trademarked item without copyright infringement. What a great subversion!
