I was recently contacted on my new Magickal Forum by a young man who was interested in obtaining the name of his Holy Guardian Angel (in magickal circles usually abbreviated as the HGA).

There are numerous methods for contacting the HGA, some of which involve years of Qabalistic study and occult scholarship, such as the famed ritual of the ancient Mage, Abramelin, which promises the Magician the “Knowledge and Conversation” of ones Holy Guardian Angel. This method necessitates the seeker isolate himself for a period of 6 months to one year, in constant prayer along with a series of prolonged and detailed rituals.

It stands to reason that most students of the Western Magickal tradition hardly have the time, nor funds to perform such a lengthy magickal operation. After all, us modern mystics have to hold down jobs and deal with the mundane necessities of the modern world. So what’s a fledgling Magician to do? I decided to offer a solution by sharing a simple, but effective Holy Guardian Angel Ritual!

Magickal Rituals: Today is a good time to perform any rituals involving Scrying (receiving visions in a crystal or mirror); Lucid Dreaming; Astral Travel; Tarot Pathworkings; and Candle Magick for blessing the home and family. Other rituals can include Money Attraction, and Psychic Development.

Ritual Items: If you do a Lunar Ritual today, you may want to include crystals such as Moonstone, Quartz Crystal, Pearl or Abalone (sacred to the element of Water). Oils and incenses to use are Jasmine, and Amber (and Ambergris). Candle colors should be White or Silver (for Intuitive Work), or Pale Blue (for Healing).

I want to wish you all a wonderful Winter Solstice 2006! Today is the shortest day of the year — beginning the 22nd, the light of the Sun will shine brighter until it reaches the Summer Solstice, on June 21st, 2007. May you have a blessed, healthy, happy and prosperous New Solar Year.

The Pagan History of Christmas: The Winter Solstice is a time of great power, and has been celebrated since ancient times among many cultures throughout the world. The holiday we now call “Christmas” actually had its beginnings in the Cult of Mithras, the Sun God of the Persians, although it is believed that the origin of Mithras occurred in India around 1400 BC.

One legend of the birth of Mithras states that he sprang from the living rock or from a tree. Another tradition explains that he was born from the Cosmic Egg, while holding in his upraised hands the Sword of Truth and Torch of Light — sounds a bit like descriptions of the biblical Jesus, doesn’t it?

There are ancient artifacts depicting him surrounded by an egg-shaped frame, symbolizing the cosmic 12 Signs of the Zodiac. Many of those representations of Mithras have been found in modern-day Britain, some of which are considered to be some of the earliest surviving representation of the Signs of the Zodiac in the north-west provinces of the Roman Empire.

Today I’m celebrating the 59th Re-birthday of Edward Alexander Crowley, more commonly known as Aleister Crowley. What is a “re-birthday” you may ask. It’s what I like to call the anniversary of someone’s physical death.

The very fact that you’re now reading this blog is due to the impact of Aleister’s writings on Magick and Metaphysics, the greatest of which is his channeled masterwork, The Book of the Law. Crowley was the man truly responsible for awakening society to the spiritual New Age we have only recently entered.

English-born, Crowley was born on October 12th, 1875 in England, and died on December 1st, 1947 — 59 years ago, today.

Take a moment of your day to learn more about this remarkable man, who lived and breathed Magick. Read the poem Crowley wrote, Hymn to Pan, which was read at his Greater Feast and Funeral.

Crowley’s influence on my life has been enormous. My natural psychic gifts have been strengthened by reading his works, and putting his developmental exercises and discipline into action. Any of my psychic friends and clients who have ever received help from me have Aleister to thank.

I will continue to post items about Crowley on my blog, and I urge you to take the time to read a few of his works. I’m sure you will benefit by the powerful concepts contained in the many books he wrote.

And as Crowley and his merry band of Thelemites are known to say: “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law; Love is the Law, Love under will!”
