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—
Ivo Dominguez, Jr. in Casting Sacred Space recommends—I’ll call it an exercise—but he recommends engaging in your own mythopoeisis. Write your own myths. Reach inside and articulate your myths. Now, I’ve recently done something similar as a series of trance utterances that remind me of the rune poems—my powers and abilities and tricks and knacks […] … Continue reading…Myth, Belief, Art
Whims of the Father. He laughed. “No, Father Time,” he said. “But he might as well be God. Cruelest force there is, that time. Never enough of it when you need it the most, then it drags on endlessly when you desperately need it to pass.” He put out the end of the cigarette. “The […] … Continue reading…Whims of the Father

I saw that the Morrigan has stood in my glade, often before the fire, but I haven’t noticed Her. I sought to silence myself so I could listen, to keep desire and ego from intervening between us. I asked Her for teaching dreams, and She obliged. I dreamt I was at some professional team-building BS […] … Continue reading…Dreams, Asgard, Habits

I can call down Faentaur, and that helps, and I can imagine were I still smoking. My head feels congested, and that slows […] … Continue reading…Illness, Qlippoth, Metaphors
That projection of vividly imagined—things, sights, sounds, sensations, is something everyone suggests as starting point or as kick-starter to magic. Thorn does so. So do others. I’ve found myself wondering about my disbelief and others’, and what I think happens—with worry about whether or not I’m being paid on the first, this revisits old anxieties […] … Continue reading…Counter ôl-vala, Rites, Chakra Notes, Bridging
I went to the glade last night, and the Morrigan asked me more of my will to magic & power and why I wanted wonders and more. Because I can do so, because I want the Otherworlds and power and freedom, because I defy the limitations of this world on me. She took me to […] … Continue reading…Perfection, Evil, Giants
I dreamt of resurrecting small animals and stuff last night, and I had spelled for teaching dreams, though I’m not sure what I should learn from that. I feel nervous about tomorrow, but Presence, shadowed gaze, and general mindfulness helps fantastically. My anxiety stems in part from projecting myself into futures (and my anger from […] … Continue reading…Institutional Warding Magic & AOS Aesthetics
Last night I went to the glade, and Odin was there with the Morrigan, and I thanked him for his help & friendship as Authun. I then ventured with the Morrigan to Elethis to med and listen, Silence with the Tree—I dreamt of some general anxious dreams, thinking about the interview & potential job. The […] … Continue reading…Global, TOPY, Gods and Dragons, Feri
