Stargate Garden is an exploration of metaphysics and magick from the ground up...

collaborating with the cosmos,

from the soil to the stars.

Why Magick?

The modern world often functions in direct opposition to the natural world. Within colonized spaces, we are conditioned to reject our own internal natures and disconnect from the nature all around us. We have been separated from the wisdom in our own hearts and blinded to the intelligence of plants, ecosystems and the planet as a whole.

Healing our relationships — with ourselves, with each other and with the Earth — requires an animist perspective.

If we cannot see trees as sentient beings with knowledge and agency of their own, how can we collaborate with them to create places of harmony and peace? If we do not regard the rivers and oceans as living beings with moods, personalities and perspectives of their own, how can we conspire with them to bring our atmospheres back into equilibrium? If we are unable to see ourselves as potent creators with the capacity to shape our world, how will we actualize our fullest potential and build new worlds for the future?

Remembering the old ways is the pathway forward.

It is no coincidence that indigenous spiritual traditions the world over have been systematically destroyed and demonized by the colonizing forces who seek to control land, resources and populations. Humanity’s reciprocal relationships with our plant family, elemental intelligences and celestial beings leave no room for rulership or exploitative hierarchies. Collaborating with forces of nature brings our bodies, minds and ecosystems into a state of coherence, rendering systems of social control completely irrelevant.

We do not need to look to ancient texts or occult orders to learn potent magick.

Living on Earth is the highest form of alchemy. With each breath and every heart beat, we conjure our bodies from elements and ancestral memories. We enter and exit our Earthly vessel every night when we dream and ultimately when we cross the final thresholds of birth and death. With our ideas and imagination, our choices and actions, connections and collaborations, we materialize entire realms and realities out of thin air. When we touch the body of the Earth with our feet and feel the warmth of the Sun on our skin, we make direct contact with vast living beings the size of stars.

The natural is the supernatural.

Stargate Garden is a resource for remembering and reclaiming what we already have — magickal powers.
