Doing a lecture entitled "THE 9 PRINCIPALS OF STRATEGIC SORCERY"

Last Halloween I launched the Strategic Sorcery Training Course, A Year Long Boot Camp In Practical Magic. In these lessons I lay out all the specific methods that I have found to be most effective and useful over the years and eave them into a complete system of magic. What is even more important than the methods though are the principles. While the methods of Strategic Sorcery are many, there are nine core principles that can be employed by just about anyone from any system of magic or Witchcraft. I have students from Pagan, Buddhist, Christian, Hermetic, Shammanic, and other backgrounds who have applied these principals to their work, and were amazed at the marked improvements.

In this class I will go over each of the nine principals and give real life examples of how they are applied. This class will be highly interactive and I will make sure to provide concrete advice that is applicable to whatever path you happen to walk, Whether you have an interest in my other works or not, if you put a few of these principles to work, you will see better results from your magic, and real improvements in your life.

Ancient Stellar Magic

Magic has existed since before recorded history, but the term itself is borrowed from the heretical Magians of Zoroastrian Persia-- currently believed to have been a cult of time-worshippers. Their magical practices, which became famed throughout the ancient world, frequently attempted to circumvent fate and bestow supernatural abilities by applying early astrology to the fabrication of talismans and rings of power. One rare and ancient grimoire reveals the secrets on how to create fifteen rings of immense power, imbued with the essences of corresponding fixed stars and star clusters, and their associated hierarchies of mighty spirits. This lecture will introduce you to the basics of traditional astrology, and how to use it to make these rings of power for yourself.

Clifford is a practitioner of black magic and dark paganism, the latter term which he coined in 1993. Dark paganism has no religious- based bans on curses or harm. He has since been practicing magic of many traditions for over twenty-five years, including Kabbalah, Wicca, Chaos Magic, Golden Dawn, Santeria, Black Sun, Renaissance Astrological Magic, Greco-Roman Magic, Grimoiric Magic, Necromancy, Hoodoo and several more. If you see someone dressed in black, cracking wise as he swigs absinthe from a human skull; that’s probably him. A former club promoter, DJ, graphic artist, humorist, and photographer, he is also the founder of Necronomi.com, one of the first websites dedicated to magic, the notorious "Badguys" forum, and several other notable websites.

Doing a lecture entitled "Through the Magical Wormhole"

With all the recent science programs on how there are multiple universes and dimensional directions, I figured it would be time to have the Omnimancy perspective on this. Some of which overlaps common magical thinking and some doesn't but has been found useful within Omnimancy. So the lecture will be a mix of the tip of the iceberg of what we term "dimensional physics" and exploring what is really going behind the scenes with some very common magical practices. So it should be interesting for veterans and novices alike.
