DG Logo, pentacle in triangle with "DG" in center.Wednesdays - 7 pm - Metaphysical Discussion Group -then- Magick Classes under Chira Rook: The Energy Path.  Cost: FREE.

Location: Fredericksburg, VA : Please send email if interested.  Participants must have prior experience, high potential, or genuine interest in magick and the occult in general.  All are welcome to the discussion group--please arrange for a  meeting before attending the formal class.  Please note that this is a person-to-person group class, not an Internet class.

The first hour is an informal discussion/ networking group for all those of the metaphysical community (b.y.o.m. - Bring Your Own Munchies).  The second hour is a more formal class led by Chira Rook, ordained teacher and former Dragon of Combat under the Golden Dawn.  This class focuses on the Energy Path, which combines many different Paths and areas of belief into a whole (more info).  By attending you will learn basics including how to create circles, shields, and similar protective constructs; utilize arcane tools; manipulate the elements of the Universe (as various systems perceive them); open and close Gates; summon, control, and banish entities; and so on.  All are welcome at the study group, but class attendees should request an interview.

Time & Date: Tuesdays @ 9pm & Wednesdays @ 4am, 11am  [See note on times, below.]

Location: Wherever you currently are.

Take a moment to say hello to the Archangel MIKAL, for this is his hour.  MIKAL has been very busy of late saving the world's collective butt, so we think he deserves some appreciation along with his Brothers.  He is also, incidentally, the designated Guardian of Dreaming Gates, so please be nice to him.  We greet thee MIKAL, great malak, sun among stars.

(Don't know who he is?  MIKAL [pronounced mee-ka-el] appears in a number belief systems including Christianity [notably Catholicism], Judaism, Islam, Jehovah's Witnesses, New Age, many Ceremonial Magicks, Kabbala, Chaldean lore, and others.  He is known by many names including Michael, Saint Michael, Mik'il, and some Chaldean names he won't let us say.)

A Note on Times: If in your system(s) you traditionally align MIKAL with the sun or the Sphere of Tipareth, you may wish to select Saturdays @ 6pm & Sundays @ 1am, 8am, 3pm for your attentions.   Times are taken from Clavicula Salomonis (edited by S.L. Mathers) and corrected for Eastern Standard Time.  Seal taken from The Magus by Francis Barrett and modified for general use.

Dreaming Gates F.A.Q.

Frequently Asked Questions U [you] actually asked about Dreaming Gates and the DGO -- culled from email and conversations.  (Believe it or not.)

Who Are We?

Well, that's a pretty good question.  Dreaming Gates is a small retail and mail-order company with roots in New York, New Orleans, Arizona, and Virginia.  Organized in late 1996, Dreaming Gates is not your typical home-based business, but rather a widespread network of wholesalers, artisans, and unusual people.  We specialize in gifts and novelties related to mythology, including books, gifts, and arcane tools--but we deal in just about anything that catches our collective Dreaming eye.  We like to include the cultural writings, ideas, and artwork of as many groups as possible, and apologize in advance if we have inadvertently left out your favorite. (We do handle special requests.)  You may also notice a special emphasis on the European Middle Ages and Renaissance Period.  This is because a large portion of our clientele (including ourselves) have particular interest in those areas.  And just as any proper medieval setting boasts dragons, wizards, and other magical creatures, you will find them all here.  We pride ourselves in catering to those of the modern Craft, New Age, and Psionic cultures who populate these last days of the twentieth century.  So whether you're a history buff, a Wiccan priest, or just a person in search of a truly original gift, we are certain to satisfy your needs.  Remember: if you can't find it anywhere else, ask us!

What Do We Do?

Mostly sit around and throw balled-up sticky-notes at each other.  (Just kidding.)  We strive to supply high-quality goods at earth-level prices, instead of the stratosphere price tags in other specialty stores.  We also participate in and help support several metaphysical and religious study groups.  In addition, we research, study, and analyze many areas of knowledge to ensure that we carry the best and most comprehensive goods available.  (It sounds like b.s., but it's true.  If you have input, let us know.)  Lastly and most importantly, Dreaming Gates sponsors a nonprofit organization called the DGO, or DreamGate Organization, which furthers metaphysical education.

What is the DGO?

The DGO is an organization whose central focus is the free exchange of knowledge.  Our secondary function is to promote camaraderie and cooperation between students of many "metaphysical" areas.  For more information, please go to the DGO Gate below.

More FAQs

Q:  Where does your name come from?

A:  "Dreaming Gates" has many meanings.  The most significant one is that the idea of our business started as a dream (before it became the nightmare you see before you), and that we hoped it would be the gate to our desired lifestyle (i.e., gainful self-employment).  It is also an allusion to the theory that the mind passes through different gates of consciousness while sleeping . . . and a few other ideas that are too complicated to expound upon here.

----------

Q:  What is the Energy Path?

A:  While browsing our website you may see references to the "Energy Path" (i.e., "charged, blessed, and purified by Priests of the Energy Path").  The "Energy Path" is a magickal system developed by Chira Rook from a number of Paths he has mastered, taught, and explored over the past four decades.  It contains teachings from Native American shamanism, Tai Chi, the Golden Dawn, Wicca, Catholicism, Kabala, Goetics, Enochian, the Abra-Melin system of Magick,
