I’ve had multiple people message me in regards to the truly awful pandemic that is sweeping the world right now, wondering how we are here and how this affects work going forward.
I’d just like to first say thank you to everyone who got in touch – right now, we are fine, and have put in place contingency plans to protect the temples written work as well as all magickal relics and gateways. This was spurred after divination with the powers that be revealed that unfortunately things will get inevitably worse before they get in any way better. A very surreal situation, but one we thankfully saw coming and began preparing for back in January.
The tipping point was reached and these plans have taken the form of moving everything of true vital importance to a remoter location whilst leaving magickal and physical defences at the old inner temple location. We will be working out of this new location for the foreseeable future. This is under direct advisement of the spirits of the Arte that demanded urgent and swift action from ourselves to ride out the coming storm.
We are also stocked up on food, water, and required means to defend ourselves. Unfortunately the lockdowns and other measures will likely restrict larger scale magickal workings with the Dragons. This is down to the fact that these workings require outer gateways to be penetrated in certain physical locations to be truly effective. Plans are in place to try and pursue these were possible, whilst sticking to the lockdown regulations for everyone’s safety and benefit.

In regards to the pandemic itself, I have heard really two camps try to explain the event. Both while containing elements of the truth, come to wrong conclusions. One maintains that there is no human or spiritual culpability – that viruses just happen and are intrinsic to nature. The second state that this is a God sent plague, echoing fire and brimstone mentality from ages thankfully gone by.
The reality is this is neither God sent, nor simply ‘bad luck’. This event is in reality a backlash from an abused and poisoned world soul – the virus itself spawned as the result of ridiculous levels of cruelty and uncleanliness – the accepted location generally being a Chinese wet market with awful conditions. This is a curse we have lain upon ourselves due to our races poor and ill judged use of the many boons the Gods have granted us – and they have simply allowed us to feel our own backlash of the collective inaction to address such issues. The Gods will allow us to reap what we ourselves have sown as the system self corrects for our colossal failures – this is not THE apocalypse, but rather a dangerous existential crisis we have forced upon ourselves due to terrible behaviour and spiritual erosion.
Such backlash occurrences are going to be common post 2012, as we enter the Aeon of Lucifer fully. Only by addressing these issues collectively can we halt the increase in strength, duration and frequency of these events. This is the foreshock of a much larger quake, that can only be addressed by changing our ways of life on a mass scale. This will involve making the correct physical, mental and spiritual changes required to rebalance the world soul and avert disaster.
Due to the failure of an authoritarian government to effectively contain this outbreak, thanks to a colossal cover up in its early stages, all we can do is ride out the storm. Many innocent people will likely be killed in the ‘crossfire’. The massive majority, in fact. I pray that Hecate and the Gods look upon kindly those souls who cross over, and and shepherd them to where they need to be and relieve their suffering and those they inevitably leave behind.
To all those out there on the path, now would be a good time to turn inward when it comes to your spirituality. We might be stuck inside, but that is time to deepen our connections and do the inner work required in this period of nigredo. We can use this as an almost alchemical time to polish off areas of that practice where we were otherwise deficient and search for our own meaning and calling in this troubling time, whilst strengthening our connection with the powers of the path.
For those of us who don’t have that luxury due to working in essential services, firstly I’d like to thank you for your efforts in the greater community. I pray that our mother wraps her arms of protection around you, and also that she opens the eyes of all to appreciate the work you do. For to safeguard innocent lives is incredibly invaluable – a virus does not discriminate after all. At this time may your path grant you the strength to persevere, and endure.
I end this post with an invocation that was utilised in the Imbolc rite I performed this year for the local pagan group – at this time of Ostara celebration in the older calendar (which runs around seven days after the actual equinoxes), I feel it is just as appropriate to reiterate. The text is from a rite, where raised energy is earthed into the Dragonlines to quicken the great serpent. I offer it as both blessing, and curse, as is appropriate. Stay safe and well all.

+++SPRING AWAKENING CALL TO THE GREAT DRAGON+++
‘SYNCHRONOMICON ABOEN LUCIFER
I call to you Spirits of these Crystals,
Devas Divine,
In the Name of the Gods of The Trident,
Sink this Energy into the Flesh of the Dragon,
May the Wheel turn once more,
AWAKE BEHEMUTH
ARISE BEHEMUTH
STIR BEHEMUTH
May the life giving powers flow,
Returning warmth to our Lands
Our Lives
Our Flesh and Bones
May all sickness and doubt flee before You
May all cold and hunger be banished,
May Life return to this Land,
That which has been so Dearly Bought,
In the Long Nights,
By All your Creatures and Devotees,
In Blessed Sacrifice to the Cycle,
To those who pour out their Love to you,
I bid,
Bring the Blessings of the Path,
Protect, Guide and Empower them,
As they walk your Path,
May the Age of Renewal come to pass,
Where our kind sees the folly of its ways,
And grasps what has been graciously given,
For the good of the All
To those who in ignorance and blindness,
Work against the Healing and Evolution of our World,
I Bid,
Bring Harsh Lessons,
Open their Eyes to what is suffered,
And what must be endured,
Teach them what must be taught,
In Mercy and In Love,
For the Aeon to come.
To those who in conceit and pride,
Those who intentionally harm the Flesh of the Dragon,
For Profit and Greed,
Maliciously and with Full Knowledge
Believing themselves beyond reproach
I Bid,
Devour them Utterly,
Flay their skin with plague resplendent,
Consuming that which was lent,
By the Prince of this Earth,
And made a mockery of with Atlantean Curse,
May they feel your full black poison,
Course through their veins,
As they are reclaimed and repossessed,
For those souls no redemption,
In the Eyes of the Gods.
IN NOMINE HECATE, LUCIFER, BELIAL, SEPHERANZ
