Happy solar ingress! This month I am looking at some of the symbolism of Leo, as the Sun passes through the constellation Leo. In this essay I will be discussing mythology, astrological histories, pagan festivals, as well as providing a quick reference at the end, featuring ways that you can connect with the constellation Leo.   EGYPTIAN MYTHOLOGY AND ITS OFFSHOOTS An Egyptian creation tale…

The 4th of July is a secular holiday and we all celebrated in America. It’s a historical holiday to honor the time we broke away from the tyrannical rule of Britain to become our own nation. What and how do we celebrate it? Do we honor the memory of our founding fathers of this country in any way? The majority, if not all, of America’s founding fathers were free thinking, learned, philosophical…

Happy Father’s Day! Today is also the Sun’s ingress into Cancer, and the Summer Solstice by calendar standards. Hail to the sun! On Mother’s Day I took a moment to share content on honoring the divine feminine as well as all of the mothers out there, and today I am doing the same for the divine masculine. I began this practice many years ago as an expression of my appreciation for the gods…

The Sacred Secrets of Vesta is an excellent read for those interested in the astrology behind ‘kundalini rising’, as well as getting in touch with the inner feminine and inner masculine, creating a bridge between astrology and sacred sexuality. In addition, McCabe offers details on how to begin a devotional practice in honor of the goddess Vesta.   Part One examines the history of Religio Romana…

I went through a lot of trauma over that past several years that impacted me so deeply that I stopped writing poetry. Poetry is my therapy. Its how I process things, experiences, events, trauma, etc, that I go through in my daily life. It is also one of the focal points of the healing work that I do through Studio Rosalva. I offer consultations on commissioned work and also on collaborative work.…

On Mother’s Day after I came home from work, I began drafting this. I had been thinking about the Thoth tarot deck for a while, as I use it both to read cards and in my personal ritual work. For those who work with the deck and also practice Enochian magick, the imagery of the Thoth tarot court cards should not be lost on you at all. It follows the pattern of the elemental tablets. Enochian…

About a month ago I began a separate blog focused on issues relating to death and sacred sexuality. I really liked the layout and design much differently than I had for this site. I have had a lot of issues with this one over the past year, and felt it was time to consider redesigning something more streamlined specifically focused on just who Rosario Aurelius is. The following link features who…

Several months ago I published here on Studio Rosalva a channeled text I received in 2022, entitled The Book of Therion. It was attached at the end of “Channeling without a License”, an exploration of how often people who get involved in occult practices (and new age ones too), learn a little bit about a subject and begin channeling spirits without spending time examining the gnosis or the…

This year I am taking a break from the Thelemic Holy Days to focus on other matters. February was a year after my brother died. We had a long and difficult relationship with one another so when he passed it was very difficult for me. We fought hard for years and in the last couple years of his life, I walked with him through his death walk. After all of this, I had made a decision to stand on…

Rosario Aurelius The act of channeling came about through experiences of the suspension of disbelief by practitioners who were experimenting with invocation, automatic writing, and the blending of this practice with acts of devotion and destruction. One of our most iconic examples of this is through Aleister Crowley’s Liber AL, The Book of the Law. However there have been many people who have…

I went to see her,that redhead, with a chip to display,the very same he hadon the very first day we met,She was nosing around,gathering intel and presenting a front,Ego unbound,as we read cards in late May,This time I presented mixed vibrations,though she was a calm before the storm,ticking away the seconds, this bomb anxiously,without the shell. So I asked her about him again,seeing the books…

The full moon in Gemini occurs on 12/04, 5:14 pm. This full moon brings our attention to a couple of different features, primarily healing work and attracting harmonious relationships into our lives. However, it isn’t just going to happen by acknowledging the Full moon in Gemini. If that’s of interest to us, we’re going to have to work with it. In my magickal work with lunar placements, I build…

What is the ultimate goal towards realizing one’s inner godhood? Many have spent their entire lives seeking its accomplishment, while others understand it is a state of mind. In the course of work with “A Draconian Egyptian Grimoire”, I realized through workings with the goddess Nekhbet that not only was this a reality that was already inherent to the possession of a soul, but that understanding…

This forecast addresses the energies we are experiencing at the beginning of the ingress and will carry us to the end of the month (11/21-12/21). The Sun enters Sagittarius on 11/21 at 7:36pm CST. As we enter Sagittarius, we will be experiencing a time for developing and for examining our idealism and mobility towards security.  This ingress possesses a strong primary water trine, secondary…

This month I examine the archetypes of the teacher, the philosopher, and the theologian and its relationship with Sagittarian energy. I also look at myths, symbolism, and astronomy and ways that we can connect with Sagittarius in our daily lives. There is also a surprise at the end of this article. I have included an astrological profile. It is the first one I have ever publicly shared, and I…

The Draconian Path has become known for its heavy-handed techniques, rooted in the Left-hand path tradition, imagery drawn from serpentine and Draconian mythologies around the world, and strong influence from the Typhonian tradition. When I first approached this path ten years ago, The Draconian Ritual Book was the first book I read on this subject. The focus of this review is to compare Asenath…
