Greetings.
And welcome back to Between the Pillars.
I am White Raven. For the past 11 years I have been writing this blog, talking about magick, the occult and other related topics. Today, I have a few important announcements to make.
First:
I’m going to largely stop updating the blog. I may still post some content that needs to be in written form, such as rituals or recipes. But the kinds of articles I used to write will end today.
It’s actually been a long time coming. I really don’t write as much as I probably should. The last article was over a year ago. I really don’t see this changing anytime soon.
I’m busier now than I used to be, but I’ve always been somewhat busy over the last 10 years. Writing and editing comprehensive long form articles is hard work and simply takes a lot of time. It’s time I simply don’t have anymore these days.
Don’t worry. The existing content and site isn’t going anywhere. Although, I may eventually give up the domain name and simply revert back to a wordpress blog. It won’t change anything besides the name.
Besides, these days people don’t read long form online articles I feel. I myself don’t get much time to read. Instead, I will now be making videos on youtube.
This brings us to the second point.
I’m not launching some grand youtube channel with high production quality. Expect voice recordings on a largely blank background. Only difference is I’ll do them more often. Like, once every week or so. That’s it. I’ll talk about magic, manifestations, and the things I know. This blog represents only 5% of my total understanding of magic and the world. I’ll also talk about related topics.
I don’t earn much from this blog. As you know, it has no ads. It’s not monetised. Similarly, the youtube channel won’t be either. I’m really just doing this because I want to, and I feel the need to share what I know.
This brings us to the third point.
At various times I have tried different monetary activities on this site. The two main ones being my current Services section, and my ebooks.
To put it bluntly, the ebooks are staying. Services are going to be temporarily suspended.
I want to thank each and every one of you who ever bought an ebook, a service or a patreon membership, or gave me a tip or donation. You have helped me in ways you can’t even imagine, and through some very dark times.
I never realised magick would become this important a part of my life, or that the Gods would choose me or all people as someone to reveal such secrets too. I start to wonder if it’s a burden, and if I would have been better not knowing. But either way, there’s no going back now. The world itself is getting quite strange and evil now. Maybe magic is more important now than ever before. People are also much more open to the idea than they were 10 years ago.
So anyway, if you wish to support me, buy an ebook. I’m going to write another one soon. The Ko-Fi page with all my services is going away. It may come back someday, but not anytime soon.
Finally, I should talk about my instagram page.
So, I don’t like social media. The instagram page linked in the header is the only social media presence I have. I’m probably not going to be posting much there. You can still use it to message me, but that’s it. Over the years, I’ve tried various types of posts, but the thing is: I just don’t like it.
I was 18 when I started this blog. I’m 29 now. I’m too old to engage in things I don’t enjoy.
I have a career. And it’s not a simple one. It’s a specialised, niche and hyper competitive field. It’s clear to me now that I’m only going to get busier.
Thank you to everyone that’s supported me.
Those are the major updates I wanted to make.
I don’t want this post to be a downer, or to make anyone feel like it’s a sad occasion. On the contrary, it could be the start of something amazing and new.
I’ve spent the last year in a different country. I was extremely busy. This year I’ve been back in my own country. I’m still very busy.
For once, I’m a bit uncertain about the future. Both my future and the future of the world. But one thing I’m absolutely certain about, is that my magical and spiritual experiences aren’t going away. It wasn’t a phase. All this is real, and it’s only going to get more intense for me. So, speaking about it more may well be something I’m meant to do.
Pray that you never win the favour of the Gods. It’s a stressful life. There’s expectations.
I don’t know how many readers I’ve retained since 2015. I don’t know how many people have been here since the beginning, how many have come recently, how many dropped out half way through.
But if you want to follow this journey, go subscribe to my channel. A lot of the imagery is still a place holder. No videos yet though. But soon.
I think I shall call myself.
ASURA.
Yes. It’s a fitting name for someone like me 🙂
Depressed and slightly autistic.
Please head over to:

Please note that the display picture is just temporary. It’s apparently from some anime that I’m too old to have watched.
More things I want to say.
I have somehow transcended the need for ritual.
When I close my eyes and focus on my breath, I can directly enter into the vibration of Kether, or the Crown Chakra.
How long it takes depends on my mental and physical state.
This doesn’t mean I’ve stopped doing rituals though, but it’s more just a formality, a way to gather and project the energy.
Another thing I’ve realised.
Lilith is the highest divinity in the known Universe. Within this manifested cosmos, she is the most powerful force known to humanity. The oldest, the wisest. The First.
Not Adam’s first wife. Not an ancient pagan goddess. Not Samael’s consort. None of that. She is magick itself.
Her name, or her letter is ‘L’.
She is the ‘el’ that is placed at the end of the names of angels. They derive their power and authority from her.
I’m still processing this fact.
She’s active in my life now. I’m not sure what the plan is.
She also has no consort as such. She herself can manifest as male.
The Egyptian priests knew this as the goddess of the Void itself. The void from which all emerges.
They called her as Nu: the formless waters, of the Dark Goddess. Her consort, or male manifestation, was called Heh: the infinity, or the God of Millions of years.
They knew by through their Will, Heh could act on Nu and create reality. So, this power was called Heka. Magic.
Now a new Age has begun, so old magic and old traditions become defunct. Old religions and philosophies fall apart. Like the Age of Iron and the Age of Bronze before it, the Age of Steel comes to an end.
The Age of Silicon begins.
The fact that I’m leaving this blog to do a YouTube channel is a part of that. It’s not a good idea to stubbornly drag this blog any further, when I myself primarily listen to youtube stuff now. It would be hypocritical to act like the spoken word isn’t more accessible than the written word.
So anyway. That’s that.
I’ll see you on the youtube channel.
~Asura
And hey. Since I’m reclusive and avoid drama, i’ve never said it. Now that the blog may be ending, I should be pretty clear.
Trans rights are human rights.
Free Palestine.
Imaginary numbers invented by pedophiles who eat children is not a good economic system.
Feminism good.
And it’s definitely gay to like femboys. But you know what, it’s okay c:
Hey Whiteraven, or should I say Asura! 😀
I can’t tell you how relieved I was to finally hear from you!
A while ago, I actually had a dream about you and your blog, which prompted me to send you an email right away. When I didn’t hear back, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little worried.
As sad as I am that you’ve stepped away from writing those long, in-depth articles and are no longer spoiling us with your incredible knowledge, I’m equally happy that you’ve chosen a path that makes you happy.
Your writings and tarot readings have had a profound influence on my life, especially on my philosophy and approach to magic. You’ve played a much bigger role in shaping my perspective than you probably realize.
I genuinely hope you never stop creating and sharing your knowledge with the world! Even if it’s just short-form content, I’d be more than happy with that. Just keep sharing! 😀
I also found your thoughts on Lilith absolutely fascinating, and I really hope you’ll share more about them someday.
Sending you lots of love and warm wishes from Oğuz, someone who’s been following and appreciating your work for years! ❤️

Hello White Raven,
Accidentally clicked comment earlier.
I’m pretty surprised to hear you mention the cann1bal p3dos because I thought you didn’t believe in 99% of conspiracy theories per ur post Thoughts from the Matrix. I guess there comes a point where we can’t go on saying “well is there anything I can do.” Especially for magicians.
For years now I have suspected something like this was happening. Regardless of what the truth is, there is mass propaganda with each side claiming they r the righteous when really their desire is to stay in power while deceiving its citizens. Illusion. Since I’m unable to handle the information currently or even deal with it, I just keep learning magick so I will be ready when upheaval arrives. And I realized To return power to the people, we don’t need a martyr anymore. We need promethean figures who return power to the people. To me, I believe that power is magick. When the time comes, I’ll be there to defend the people.
May Justice and Truth prevail.
I see part of that liberation happenign through the rapid dissemination of knowledge. You can’t lie to the people and oppress them when 10 million people have seen footage of you do heinous things within the span of 1 hour.
I truly value all of your insight. It’s different from books that share how-to. It’s nice to hear experiences of personal gnosis from someone who is non dogmatic and devoted to spiritual evolution.
I am grateful to have crossed paths with your blog.
Many blessings be with you.

To be fair, I really don’t believe in a lot of conspiracy theories. It’s just that…the cannibal pedos are now a fact. It is now just a fact that several major world leaders are involved in unimaginably evil activities, that yes, there are objects of unknown origin zipping around in the atmosphere, that there are intelligence agencies that directly interfere in world elections, and that several online movements were manufactured psy-ops. So I don’t need to believe in anything.
It’s like that Jon Tron bit.
“What convinced you of your theory”
“What started to happen was, they just started saying it publicly in front of cameras”
I remember being like 12 years old and watching Zeitgeist on youtube, and thinking “woah, I bet the whole world will change once this gets out”. And it didn’t get out and people just thought I was weird. Took 15 years but we got there lol. Doesn’t sound so weird anymore lol. The things I believed and thought about since I was a teenager are just common place now.
Even magick is common place. You just meet normal people who talk about manifestation and positive thinking and it’s honestly amazing. That’s the positive side of it.
Also my spirit guides are confirming a bunch of things, about ancient history, religion or how the world works.
However, a lot of the confirmations I get are different from the more sensational conspiracies, so I still don’t just believe in things because they sound exciting.
The main thing that changed is earlier I was a lot more open to seeing “both sides” of every argument.
But after the events of the last year, especially in my country and in Asia overall, my tolerance has reduced significantly.
What irritates me is various high profile occultists and magicians refusing to engage with it and still playing the “we should be neutral and not get involved”. BS. It’s just cowardice. But I don’t blame them. I can feel the energies change very strongly. An old age has ended. Forever.
My prayers and my efforts are now focused on change. It was also partly the reason why I returned to a professional career instead of being a laid back and disengaged freelancer. Because I need to be engaged with the world now. The cabin in woods will have to wait.

Hi Asura/White Raven,
Not sure how you prefer to be called now.
I’d have to ask then, because I remember you made a post a very long time ago saying we shoudl avoid using magick for vigilantism for fear of ego inflation.
I understand both view points. How can a powerful magician and occultist stand by and watch the world burn? They should do something in their power to defend justice, especially if many of the deities and powers they serve are interested in protecting people, and ideals of justice, like Themis or even Jupiter’s interest in ensuring governments are not opposing the people.
On the other hand, if you keep using magick as a means to meddle in worldly affairs, there is a real danger of ego inflation, since many people are easily corrupted by power.
Do you still agree that magick should not be used for vigilantism, lest the user becomes corrupted, but still make the exception for magicians who are able to avoid ego inflation?
Should regular magicians just leave it to the “advanced” magicians?
