I wrote this post a little while back, but I held off on sharing it because the experiences pointed me to a particular experiment to perform, and I wanted to do that operation first before sharing the post. Then, “Black Seas of Infinity” came to me as I was reading through The Brazen Vessel, and […] … Continue reading…Force Majeure
I’ve had a fondness for books and journaling for ages, and I remember when I first got into magic, I got a bunch of little hardcover, slim journals from Walden Books in the mall and was writing my various occult secrets and such into them. (In hindsight, I did not have many occult secrets.) I […] … Continue reading…Habent Sua Fata Libelli

I also talk about Much Ado about Nothing some. Now, as much as I am […] … Continue reading…Shakespeare and Enchantment 1
Reflections on Prayerize, Visualize, and Actualize within the context of enchantment … Continue reading…Enchant-ize
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
Lynn McTaggart has been pursuing the power of guided, healing intentions and consciousness for a while. Where her early work focused on large, group, meditative intentions in experimental contexts, she has most recently published her The Power of Eight that focuses on groups of six to twelve persons (or, ideally, eight) “intending” healing or similar […] … Continue reading…Power + Intention
In which I talk about “spirit animals,” spirits, icons, heraldry, the Four Kings, and giving yourself double vision. … Continue reading…Fantastic Beasts and How to Find Each Other
