You’ll be using these tools in 5 minutes. No learning curve. No signup. Just results.
What This Is
This is a free, open-source occult help center.
We provide:
- Live planetary timing tools that tell you which planet rules this day and this hour
- Automatic moon phase tracking so you know whether to cast for growth or release
- Traditional correspondences for planets, zodiac signs, elements, herbs, and stones
- Practical magical knowledge with zero mystical fluff
- Location-aware calculations—everything adjusts automatically to where you are
Everything here is based on grimoire traditions: planetary days, planetary hours, lunar phases, and elemental associations. These are the building blocks of Western occultism. They’ve been tested for centuries. They work.
The Core Philosophy
1. Timing Is Power
Each day is ruled by a planet (Sunday = Sun, Monday = Moon, Tuesday = Mars, etc.). Each hour is also ruled by a planet. The moon cycles through phases and zodiac signs. All of this directly affects magical outcomes.
Example: Working with Mars on Tuesday during a Mars hour gives you triple planetary alignment. That’s not superstition—it’s strategic stacking of natural power cycles. Conversely, doing new beginnings during a waning moon is like planting seeds in winter. Timing matters.
2. Correspondences Are Precise
Planets connect to specific colors, metals, herbs, stones, deities, and intentions. These aren’t random—they’re part of a coherent system documented across grimoires for over a thousand years.
Real examples:
- Want courage or conflict resolution? Mars: Use iron, bloodstone, ginger, on Tuesday
- Want love or beauty magic? Venus: Use copper, rose quartz, rose petals, on Friday
- Want learning or communication? Mercury: Use quicksilver symbols, citrine, lavender, on Wednesday
This isn’t theory. These correspondences have been tested and verified by countless practitioners.
3. Simplicity Wins
You don’t need expensive tools, secret initiations, or elaborate hour-long rituals. You need three things:
- Know what day it is and what planet rules it
- Know what phase the moon is in
- Know what correspondences align with your goal
The rest is execution. Keep it simple, keep it practical, track your results.
The Tools
Use these to time and plan your magical work:
1. Planetary Day Tracker
Shows you which planet rules today, what it’s good for, and what herbs/stones align with it. Each planet brings different energy—learn to work with them.
2. Planetary Hours Calculator
Each day and night is divided into 12 planetary hours. This tool shows you which planet rules the current hour and when the next hours begin. Advanced practitioners time spells down to the hour.
3. Moon Phase Guide
Shows the current lunar phase, what percentage illuminated the moon is, and what zodiac sign it’s in. Different phases are optimal for different types of work:
- New Moon: Beginnings, intention setting
- Waxing Moon: Growth, attraction, building
- Full Moon: Peak power, manifestation, celebration
- Waning Moon: Banishing, release, clearing
4. Working Advisor
Tell it your intention and it gives you optimal timing and correspondences. Great for planning workings when you’re not sure where to start.
5. Tarot Companion
Daily card draws with full meanings, correspondences, and elemental associations. Use it for reflection or as part of your daily practice.
6. Sabbat Planner
The Wheel of the Year with rituals, correspondences, and seasonal timing. Know what’s coming and how to prepare for each sabbat.
