I’ve doing my continual re-evaluation of this website and my offerings; a few things have changed. Scholars of the Borderland: I have deleted the school and its courses for the most part. All that remains are the list of mini-courses available to Patreon subscribers only. The whole thing needs an overhaul, and I am working…

Patreon Reboot as of 7/1/23
https://patreon.com/chthonia Patreon is getting a reboot! I have been pulled in too many directions over the last 4 years, and I have not been able to cultivate this space as a community. That changes today. New/Current benefits: These courses will be pre-recorded, so you can watch them at any time. I will have a full…
New Mini-Courses for Patreon Subscribers!
After 4 years on Patreon, membership has not grown, and I am now devoted to creating special content and offers that make it worth the subscription for Chthonia listeners and fans. One request that came through loud and clear was the desire for mini-courses. Scholars of the Borderland offers full courses and individual lectures; I…

Whether you’ve been brought up in traditional religion of any stripe, or atheistic and purely materialist in your thinking, you are affected by this issue. In short—our collective culture places a value on “rising…

Separation Yesterday I had a session with intuitive bodyworker Megan Gouldner who works out of Core Therapies in Florham Park. Megan is certified in massage therapy, physical therapy, and a number of other related things, and her unique blend of massage therapy with “listening” to the thoughts stored in the body that need to be…
Chthonia vs. Liminal Reiki–what is all this?
Recently I’ve had some questions about Chthonia—what IS it exactly? What do you mean by the “dark feminine” and what does that have to do with Reiki and other things like that? While I do have an intro video on this site, I realize that a lot of people don’t have time for long video…
Individualism
If you drive through the area of New Jersey where I live, one of the sites you may see with some frequency is the Gadsen Flag. It’s a yellow flag with a coiled timber rattlesnake on it, and the words “Don’t Tread on Me” underneath. The flag has its origins in the American Revolution, where…
