One of the first books on magic I remember reading when I was a baby practitioner was Donald Michael Kraig’s Modern Magick, and it got more attention from me at the time than a lot of things. It’s primarily a book going into Golden Dawn style magic and adjacent territories. However, the part that stuck […] … Continue reading…Time Warp
So, magical language as reality, performing that language, thinking about where it comes from, and where and when we do it. In this post, I’m going to begin by covering some familiar territory, but I’m doing so for three reasons. Firstly, I try not to presume everyone remembers where I’ve gone before (let alone those […] … Continue reading…Strange Grammars
I have been doing the planetary prayers from the Hygromanteia daily for over a year now, and more recently, I have also been experimenting with the addition of the angelic prayers (that are also planetary) via the Heptameron. “Planetary Prayers”? I would argue that the rationale behind doing such prayers is four-fold: Firstly, it’s about […] … Continue reading…Planets & Angels
In having learned a bit more about astrology and the significance of the classical planets—even as the outer planets of Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and others also do something—I’ve been trying to synthesize these things into a shape that fits me.

The Birth of Capitalist Time is inextricable from the birth of the factories, and the story of the birth of factories cannot be told without mentioning the Clockmakers. In fact, many of the machines of the factories were made by clockmakers, who had experience with the timing of gears, and E.P. Thompson notes that many […] … Continue reading…Chronomancy & Capitalism
The moon is full this morning, and it occurs to me (and K concurred) that my sense of the Otherworlds’ closeness may be tied, connected the moon’s state. I’ve spelled for better understanding in this regard, as well.—I mean, we’re always told the lunar phase makes some magics easier, but why that’s the case—if it […] … Continue reading…Gods, Grimoires, Demons, Shadows
