Alexandrian Wiccan tradition The Alexandrian Wiccan tradition is a modern form of witchcraft that emerged in the mid-20th century. It takes its name from its founder, Alexander Sanders, who claimed to have been initiated into witchcraft by his grandmother. Sanders was already involved in witchcraft before founding the Alexandrian tradition and had received training in traditional witchcraft from another practitioner. The Alexandrian tradition shares many similarities with the Gardnerian tradition, which is another form of Wicca that predates it. In fact, it is often referred to as a branch or offshoot of the Gardnerian tradition. Both traditions place a strong emphasis on ritual and ceremonial magic, and they incorporate elements of ceremonial magic into their rituals and practices.
Both traditions place a strong emphasis on ritual and ceremonial magic, and they incorporate elements of ceremonial magic into their rituals and practices. One of the key features of the Alexandrian tradition is its focus on polarity and balance. Like other forms of Wicca, it views the universe as being made up of polar opposites, such as male and female, light and dark, and so on.
The Occult 2022.2
“Innovation Engineering” is a great influence on the growth and survival of today’s world. As a method for solving technology and business problems to innovate, adapt, and enter new markets using the expertise in emerging technologies, it is an essential tool for creative minds.
Much like every other industry in the world, video game development industry is open to new ideas and products more than ever. Actually, it has never been more critical. New technologies emerge, as do new business models. Thanks to innovation culture, video game development process has become more than classic software engineering by evolving into modern innovation engineering.
The latest release of The Occult is a meticulous combination of software and innovation engineering. In order to maximize productivity and efficiency, outside the box thinking was vital. I had to come up with creative and unorthodox problem solving methods. So, rather than waiting for a-ha! moments, I relied on cross-disciplinary research and practices for creativity, and classic engineering methodology for productivity; simply harnessing the best of both worlds… And it worked, charmingly!
The Occult version 2022.2 is released!
The Occult, a virtual gameplay programming ecosystem for Unreal Engine, is now available for both Intel and ARM architectures by offering improved cross-platform compatibility, exciting new features, enhancements, and a few bug fixes. As usual, all commercial and personal video game development projects that I am currently involved in will benefit from the new/enhanced features available in this release.
New Architecture
Multiprocessing System Architecture: User-defined number of virtual processors can perform sync/async operations at the same time. Multiprocessing read/write operations on shared code/memory are 100% thread-safe at both virtual and physical access level.
Multiple Stacks for Multiple Processors: A private stack is assigned for each vCPU, and a public stack is shared among all processors. The public stack is mainly used for level-scope variables, and can be accessed via Index/Data bus. Contrary to the public stack, private stacks do not use Occult’s bus architecture anymore. They are hardwired to parent vCPUs for exceptional low-latency access!
Virtual/Native Code Switching: Instant code switching at instruction-precision level of detail creates an opportunity to inject native C++ code into virtual Assembly code and vice versa, while creating endless possibilities for hardcore code optimization.
New Features
- Stack based smart serialization.
- User-defined Trigger algorithm injection architecture.
- User-defined Pivot lookup table architecture.
- CCR driven stack error report mechanism.
- Blazingly fast 32-bit text/numerical Tag driven instance management.
Enhancements
- All coprocessors (Trigger, Flagger, Pooler) are enhanced to take advantage of new multiprocessing system.
- New speed/size optimized Flagger node graph search algorithm is written in 92 bytes (yes, ninety-two!) using inline Assembly; small enough to flatter physical cache.
- Enhanced native Intel architecture support for PC.
- Enhanced native ARM architecture support for Apple Silicon Macs and Nintendo Switch.
Improved Game Executable Compatibility
- Windows 10 – (21H2)
- Windows 11 – (22H2)
- macOS Big Sur 11.7 – (Intel/Apple Silicon)
- macOS Monterey 12.6 – (Apple Silicon only)
- iOS 14
- iOS 15
- iOS 16
- Nintendo Switch
Improved C++ Code Compatibility
- Unreal Engine 4 – (4.26.2, 4.27.2)
- Unreal Engine 5 – (5.0.3)
Improved C++ Development Environment Compatibility
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 version 16.11.19
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 version 17.3.5
- Apple Xcode version 14.0.1
- JetBrains Rider 2022.2.3
Bug Fixes
- Macro driven Load/Save settings filename obfuscation.
- Immediate Operand format standardization.

Credo quia absurdum!
In Alexandrian Wicca, these polarities are seen as complementary forces that must be balanced in order to achieve harmony and spiritual growth. Another notable aspect of the Alexandrian tradition is its use of ritual nudity. Like some other forms of Wicca, Alexandrian Wiccans may choose to perform certain rituals in the nude in order to symbolize their spiritual purity and unity with nature. However, this is not a requirement for all rituals and varies depending on the individual practitioner and coven. The Alexandrian tradition also places a strong emphasis on training and initiation. Practitioners are often required to undergo a period of study and apprenticeship before being initiated into the tradition. This includes learning about the beliefs, practices, and rituals of the tradition, as well as developing skills in ritual and magical practices. In terms of rituals and practices, the Alexandrian tradition follows a similar structure to the Gardnerian tradition. It typically involves casting a circle, invoking deities, performing spells and rituals, and raising energy through various means, such as chanting, dancing, or drumming. The tradition also places importance on the use of tools and symbols, such as a ritual athame (a ceremonial knife) and a chalice. Overall, the Alexandrian Wiccan tradition is a modern form of witchcraft that draws inspiration from older magical traditions, such as ceremonial magic and traditional witchcraft. It emphasizes ritual, balance, and training, and often incorporates elements of nudity and polarity into its practices. Despite its similarities to the Gardnerian tradition, Alexandrian Wicca has its own distinct characteristics and practices..
Reviews for "Alexandrian Wicca and the Magickal Use of Crystals and Gemstones"
- Sarah - 2 stars - I was really excited to learn about the Alexandrian Wiccan tradition as I had heard so many good things about it. However, I was left disappointed after attending a few rituals. The group seemed very exclusive and unwelcoming to newcomers. The rituals themselves lacked depth and felt more like a performance rather than a sacred experience. Overall, I found the Alexandrian Wiccan tradition to be disengaging and not suited to my spiritual needs.
- John - 1 star - I have been practicing Wicca for years and decided to explore the Alexandrian tradition. I have to say, it did not live up to my expectations. The teachings seemed very superficial and lacked the depth and complexity that I was hoping for. The rituals felt rushed and not well thought out, leaving me feeling like I was just going through the motions. I was also disappointed by the lack of emphasis on personal growth and self-discovery. Overall, the Alexandrian Wiccan tradition fell short for me, and I will be sticking to my previous path.
- Emily - 2 stars - I attended a few Alexandrian Wiccan rituals with high hopes, but I have to say, I was underwhelmed. The group seemed more focused on appearances and hierarchy rather than fostering a genuine spiritual connection. The teachings were repetitive and lacked originality, with little room for personal interpretation or exploration. I was also put off by the strict adherence to certain rules and regulations, which felt restrictive and stifling. Overall, I found the Alexandrian Wiccan tradition to be lacking in authenticity and depth.
