Practical and Esoteric Magic

Eclectic Approach to Practical Magic, Sorcery, Esoteric Magic, and Mysticism

Rejuvenation, regeneration, restoration, reclamation.

To renew the energy, and in spirit reawaken.

Eclectic Magic is the practice derived from more than one system.

A Postmodern Magical Philosophy

in the Golden Age of Magic

The Golden Age of Magic was not Hellenistic Greece, Ancient Egypt, or the Medieval Renaissance. It is here and now in the contemporary era!

Never before has there been such easy access to so much knowledge and technical instruction. The magical traditions, systems, and methods of the past many centuries, reaching back nearly 4,000 years in fact, are available at a moment’s notice in the palm of our hands.

Naturally we don’t have a continuous and complete picture of that whole timeline from a magical perspective. Much has been lost to time and much else is even now kept in secret from the uninitiated masses.

There is still more wisdom available than most of us can integrate into a single incarnation, and more than plenty for establishing a powerful system and method to work with and offer to others.

Call it hybrid magic, multi-traditional, or syncretism, as you wish. I call it an eclectic esoteric philosophy built from a postmodern magical paradigm, you know- to impress the ladies and all.

I have drawn evenly and honestly from Western and Eastern sources, reflecting my interest in and study of both at different points in my life. I incorporate high and low magic, ritual and natural methods, from a small range of disciplines (only those I have genuinely engaged with) for purposes of both practical and esoteric work.

The Content is Structured as Follows:

To the crystal conjurer or mineral magician, a bag of agates potentially holds all the attributes and properties one will need for the day’s challenges and celebrations. While I know my methods won’t be right for everyone, I hope there is at least something of benefit here for everyone who passes through.

1. The static pages, or the links in the navigation menus at the top and bottom of the site, will lay out my magical paradigm and a loose overview of my philosophy and system of study & practice.
2. The dynamic content, i.e. various forms of posts made to the blog, are like a journal of my ongoing practice. This material covers the application of my beliefs, ethos, and skills in real life in the form of spells and other operations, stories, tutorials, rants, and so forth.
3. The products sold on this site are my own creations, as are most of the books linked to on Amazon or elsewhere.
4. Some links point to external resources owned by other folks and that I happen to find useful. There are no paid endorsements here, and if I stand to make a buck off something linked to I will clarify this, but rest assured if I am linking to it I believe it to be good stuff.

There you have it. Please have a stroll about the place and holler if you want or need to, honcho (at) bagofagates.com .

Navigation unto the aforementioned mess begins via the menu up top and the buttons in the right sidebar.

Thanks for coming by.
