JOURNEYS
An Archive of Mysteries
Greetings, and Welcome to Journeys: an Archive of Mysteries!
This archive is the culmination of over 25 years of writing on astrology, magic, and the occult. Initially, I shared this knowledge on my own website, and in 2013—following the publication of my book The 26 Keys—I moved to WordPress, where I began monthly postings on these topics. I conceived Journeys in the Astral Light as a way to further explore the ideas I presented in my book, but also as a kind of "mystery box"—a place where readers could open a door to something unexpected and intriguing related to spiritual development and practice. Looking around at what was available on the internet at that time, I wanted to go deeper. Much, much deeper. And as someone with a Scorpio stellium, that was the only way I could have done this work and felt truly fulfilled.
Having been expanding every month since 2013 the collection has now grown beyond even my own ability to navigate it properly. With over a million words, it has become its own kind of mystery to me! Despite carefully tagging posts and maintaining a spreadsheet of my writing, I realized that I needed a way to make my life's work more accessible—not just for myself, but for researchers, students, and the curious. Thus, Journeys: an Archive of Mysteries was born: a structured index and summary of my work at Journeys in the Astral Light.
Below, you'll find main sections to help you explore this vast collection. Each section links to its own corner of the archive - just click the golden title of the section - where you’ll find more descriptions of the content and direct links to the original articles on WordPress. That site will remain the primary library, and I will continue to update it with new Journeys each month.
This is a labor of love, but it would not have been possible without the support of my patrons on Patreon. It is to them that I owe deep gratitude, as their contributions make all of this freely available to everyone. Due to their continued generosity this Archive of Mysteries is an ongoing, living archive - a new Journey will appear, somewhere here, for every month this support continues into the future.
If you enjoy this work, please consider joining the Patreon community. Patrons receive exclusive benefits, including a monthly astrological forecast and newsletter, a live AMA on Zoom to discuss these topics, and an annual forecast. If you would like to work with me directly—whether for a personal natal chart reading, a yearly forecast, or deeper one-on-one guidance in astrology, magic, initiation, or metaphysics—you can book a session using the link below.

What do Fire, Water, Air, and Earth reveal about the core of human nature? This section explores the hidden dynamics of the zodiac through the four Elements, showing how they shape temperament, perception, and experience. From the burning passions of Aries to the deep emotional reservoirs of Scorpio, each sign expresses a distinct fusion of Elemental forces that influence not only our personalities but also the way we interact with the world.
The houses of astrology—anciently known as temples—map out the stage on which our life unfolds. Each house reveals an arena of experience, from personal identity and relationships to legacy and the mysteries of the unconscious. This section dives into the meaning of each house, the way planets and signs influence them, and how they serve as vessels for fate and free will and places where we physically meet the gods - the planets and signs.
Astrological aspects are the lines of force weaving a chart into a living, breathing cosmos. This section uncovers how planetary relationships create tension, harmony, challenge, and revelation. Why do oppositions create polarization? How do squares push us to action? What happens when planets unite in a conjunction? These explorations go beyond textbook definitions, bringing aspects to life with real-world insights.
Magic and astrology have been intertwined for millennia, each amplifying the power of the other. Here, you’ll find writings on ritual, invocation, evocation, talismanic work, alchemy and Hermetic training, blending esoteric traditions with practical guidance. Whether you’re seeking to attune yourself to cosmic rhythms or explore the deeper mysteries of existence, this section offers a doorway into magical practice.
What if every planet in your chart had a unique timeline, revealing the most important turning points of your life? The Keys, a system I created in The 26 Keys, provide a way to see the major conjunctions that shape each part of your chart over time. This section explores how to use the Keys to gain clarity, navigate transitions, and unlock deeper self-understanding, often expanding on the material presented in my book.
Most people think astrology is something that happens to them—but what if you could actively engage with it? Conduction is my system for working with the planetary cycles in real time, using the movements of the Sun and Moon as a direct method of interaction. Here, you’ll learn how to make astrology an immersive, hands-on experience rather than just a set of predictions.
Astrology isn’t static—it’s full of moments where doors open, inviting us to step through. Activations are those moments, points in time when a Key becomes "turnable," allowing us to work with its energy in a conscious and deliberate way. This section explains how to recognize and use these windows of opportunity to align yourself with the unfolding rhythm of your own astrology.
How can we peer into the currents of time? This section explores various methods of forecasting—transits, progressions, and even the forgotten technique of star parans—offering insights into how the celestial tides influence our lives. With real-world examples and detailed explanations, you’ll learn how to see the patterns of the future emerging in the present.
Every chart is a story waiting to be told. This section provides guidance on the art of chart interpretation, moving beyond generic meanings to uncover the unique essence of a person’s astrology. With examples from real charts, you’ll see how to weave planetary placements, aspects, and timing techniques into a coherent and meaningful narrative.
Ever wonder why some places feel like home while others seem to drain your energy? Astrolocality uses astrology to map out the invisible energetic influences of different locations around the world. This section dives into techniques for finding the best places to live, work, travel, or retreat, using your natal chart as a guide and offers insight for those seeking to create temples, sacred spaces and anchors for celestial energies.
Some mysteries refuse to be confined to categories. Here, you’ll find unexpected discoveries—esoteric explorations, lost astrological techniques, and insights that don’t fit neatly into any one box. This is the space for the truly curious, where the hidden corners of astrology and magic reveal their secrets.
