She Continues
I was talking with a friend the other day, and the topic of warding and protection magic for one’s home came up. In living in or amidst mixed company and when wanting to avoid unnecessary complications with the locals, I have often tried to adopt subtle methods. Furthermore, I have observed and picked up several […] … Continue reading…Guards and Wards
I think I finally reached a certain threshold with my dream work. Though I can lament how long it took me to get to this point, I also appreciate that I’m now recognizing both how consistent and how persistent my dream activities have been. I wonder how to move beyond where I’ve managed to go thus far and what I’ve managed to do. And, I can imagine, depending on where your dream practice may be, that you might begin to notice your own dreaming experience of the spirit side of your life and your locality—your own recurring locales and motifs. … Continue reading…Dream Land
It is hot and bright, and ordinarily I would wear my shades, but I let my eyes adjust to where I don’t need to squint anymore, and I enjoy the colors and sky and clouds, the trees still green at this point. I have a bottle full of ice and water, and as I walk, […] … Continue reading…Cardinals
Want Early on, I felt magic was real—I felt it, and in feeling it, I wanted it from an early age. When my friends and I were first experimenting with what I’ll charitably call “weird shit,” enough weird shit happened to us that we couldn’t deny it.

It has been a May of sun and high sky thus far, and as my schedule opens up for a couple of months, I have had the chance to venture forth again. Despite the bugs biting—the mosquitoes seem rather darker and larger than I remember when I was younger—the wind and trees and sky and […] … Continue reading…Border Crossings
I have found myself pondering what even to call the “spirit world.” “Spirit world” itself, though perhaps a nice catch-all term, feels always unsatisfying to me. Of course, this isn’t a conundrum unique to me. Every system seems to struggle—or, simply, default to a preferred term—and that term winds up encapsulating a good measure of […] … Continue reading…Otherworldly Shores
I felt spurred to start writing this post after reflecting on the unwillingness of many folks I know to actually assert any kind of authority with spirits. I’ve been guilty of this trait myself. I think in some ways that I didn’t want to be a jerk. I didn’t want to reproduce forms of nominally […] … Continue reading…The Daimonic + The Divine
Like for many folks, April has been the cruelest of months thus far, with a few shining moments peeking out from the weather of Mercury Retrograde and Saturn and Mars conjunct, let alone Saturn Retrograde. The problems that have cropped up have been problems that really demand Saturnine responses: tending to the home; diligence; patience; […] … Continue reading…Neighborly
