Some psychologists use Tarot cards to identify how a client views himself or herself, by asking the patient to select a card that he or she identifies with. Some try ...

Magick is an alternative for magic, coined by Aleister Crowley to differentiate "the true science of the Magi from all its counterfeits". In the broadest sense, magick is any act designed to cause intentional change -- for example, changing the channel on your television set.

The letter "k" is also the 11th letter of the latin alphabet; in numerology the number 11 represents hidden energies and thereby magick. Therefore it is thought that to add a "k" to ...

She appears cold and unfriendly to most people and is fiercely protective of Hatsumi; however, she is actually very vulnerable and romantic, even to the point of being somewhat submissive, and idolizes Hatsumi to extreme levels. So much so, in fact, that she considers he ...

Others posit that he invented it himself, following the thesis of Dr. Margaret Murray and sources suc ...

There is no one "head God" in the Egyptian pantheon, and this fact has mystified, frustrated, confused, puzzled, amused and outraged monotheists around the world for 2,500 years. Egyptian philosophy has been labeled with the curious oxymoron of "spiritual materialism," and so dismissed as primitive.
