She Continues
One of the easiest ways to do magic is to not know you’re doing magic. Of course, such a praxis isn’t terribly pragmatic. Years ago, a former colleague told me that the “magic happens when it needs to happen.” Hell, I remain quite stealthy when I’m not trying to be stealthy. I had a friend […] … Continue reading…2: To Forget Magic—
In my experience of Shining Flame, he has tended to be more no-nonsense, brusker, incisive, cutting through bullshit even as he moves you to do so as well. Where Star Seeker would ask me “What have you learned,” Shining Flame tells me, “Speak truth to me, Crowess.” My call for Shining Flame is built on […] … Continue reading…The Guardians: Part Three: Shining Flame & Water Maker
[Most recently edited 9 December 2017] I began this blog—as “antiquated” a concept as blogs have become—because a god asked me to do so. So I did. I had been keeping a magical journal (“grimoire” as I pretentiously like to affect to myself—and sometimes here) back at some point prior to 2013. I began in […] … Continue reading…Re-Introduction, Premises, Declarations
[I spoke with Star Seeker about the Guardians.] Where do you come from? SS: We’ve always been here. We’re dragons. We’re the WtaW. I’ve been around since there were tempests and the mind gazing out at itself and eternity. […] We do teach, after all. Shapeshifters, and we know to change ourselves, to look into […] … Continue reading…Star Seeker and Guardians
I started to go into the Dark Wood, which seems brighter and closer now, last night, but I headed towards the cave to TTL. The path to TTL seems to begin on a plain and meadow with some sparse, young trees—grassy fields and maybe scrub—until you start passing larger trees and mounds and small hills. […] … Continue reading…TTL, Golden Dawn Initiation and Soul Work
It’s a mild, autumn, cloudy morning. The clouds are low even as the sun tries to come out. [WtaW] deG, towards the end, writes something that helps cut past certain—things. Y told me how the sun is the burning core of elthil that provides most of the elthil for this star system, and this note […] … Continue reading…Mediating Gods & Otherworlds
I dreamt last night of split souls and doppelgangers—a Carol Danvers analogue going after the actress that plays her (who was Uma Thurman) in a comic book, and a kind of nano-tech/fiber Ultron spreading into people and growing schizophrenic. I suppose I think of it in terms of the second attention being seen as a […] … Continue reading…Split Attentions, Sex, Guides
I saw the wind blow oak leaves from trees like a shower of gold in to the autumn sunlight, and I felt panic for the trees, losing so much so fast—I felt sadness that soon the trees would be bare—no soughing, only the wind against my ears—and wonder at the sight of the rain that […] … Continue reading…Old Poetries, Faerie, Finds
In riting last night, the Guardians spoke about my plan to […]. I think they were all in favor, or convinced me that what was holding me back from tying myself to the Otherworlds more was choice and action. Always hedging for fear of what might happen becomes cowardice, Sh.F. said, and I felt that […] … Continue reading…Bindings, Paths, Ghosts
It’s night again, early as the year winds down, and I dreamt of new versions of Hardûun: mazes as I tried to avoid killer, demon-possessed robots, but I even went into the maze because I felt I had to. More, I was in space, so there was a nominal dream vacuum outside. But it became […] … Continue reading…Dream & Persistence
