Issue #5 The Underworld

In this issue, we journey into the depths of chthonic magic, exploring the timeless practices and wisdom tied to the mysteries of the underworld. From the roots of underworld sorcery, we uncover its transformative potential and the enduring connections between the seen and unseen realms. The concept of exchange takes on new meaning as we delve into the currency of the dead—offerings and symbolic transactions that bridge the gap between the living and those who dwell beyond.

This exploration continues with a rare and detailed breakdown of an ancient Japanese Onmyōdō ritual, revealing its profound ties to underworld energies. We also examine the practice of Chöd, a path that invites practitioners to navigate shadow and spirit, confronting the self in the presence of the unknown. Finally, the realm of dreams emerges as a powerful portal to the underworld, offering access to its mysteries through subconscious journeys. Together, these elements form an intricate mosaic of insight and depth, inviting readers to connect with the underworld in transformative ways.
