OUR MANIFESTO:

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.

WHAT:

This unique Journal of Magick is totally eclectic, with a focus on serious practical and theoretical essays, fiction, rituals, art and poetry that all express The High Art: those countless aspects of magick and the alchemy of the 'Great Work'. The material herein is primarily in, although not limited to, the realm of Thelema. This means operating on the principle of love under will. Other terms such as Tantrik, Shamanic, Chaotic, Wiccan and so on may also apply. The Will to Love is the Law to Live. In the end, Silver Star is what our contributors and readers choose to make of it.

WHO:

While being in a sense a magickal child of The Horus/Maat Lodge, Silver Star
is not limited in any way to being a 'house organ' for the Lodge. Silver Star seeks to provide an open source and forum for all serious Adepts who will to share with their Brothers and Sisters the work of the Art Magick. A closed system dies. We seek to help inspire the metaphysical knowledge of the New Gnosis as an open system. Our simple goal: The magickal evolution of humanity.

HOW:

You send us wonders and we will help spread them. Omnia Veritas (everything is true). If you like what you see here, then we want your work as well. All arcane materials are acceptable from all types of open-minded people, belonging to any and all (or absolutely no) orders, lodges, circles and so on. Sincerity, scholarship, and creativity are our desired qualities. Silver Star seeks to represent the widest possible spectrum of Magick and its practice as it is evolving now. Most disciplines have a Journal that transcends politics and becomes a serious forum for the whole community, a free space where ideas and knowledge can be shared. This is ours.

WHY:

Because we can. Many of us marvel at the current proliferation of magick everywhere. Who has not witnessed the fertile chaos of these uncertain times? Who has not found the tools and information necessary to create conscious change in abundant supply? Cyberspace and the tools thereof provide powerful tools to effect change with Will. We to Evolve. Each one of us now lives in a world where critical choices must be made. As the old song goes: “And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.” We are united in one simple ideal: Love IS the Law. Do you truly know how much your heart weighs?

WHERE:

HERE and NOW! This is all that matters. We are scattered about the globe, a beautiful 'net of stars', yet in this magick circle of cyberspace we are together. Let us gather in love and will to share our visions and affirm our unity. This is a time of great changes: a new conscious is rising phoenix-like from the ashes of a restrictive age. Let it take flight here.

If you are Asatru, Buddhist, Chaote, Druid, Enochian, Faerie, Gnostic, Heretic, Illuminati, Jungian, Kali-worshipping, Lovecraftian, Maatian, Nordic, OTO, Pagan, Qabalist, Rosicrucian, Shaman, Taoist, Unitarian, Voudon, Wiccan, Xenophile, Yezidic, Zoroastrian, or something completely different, Silver Star is your e-zine. The editors gratefully acknowledge the many contributions that have been made to this issue. We hope that you, our readers, will find connections with the magickal experiences presently assembled before you.
