  • Dream: To See

    My dear companion, open your eyes. Come see, come see, we are near our destination. Yes, I have stopped the camels. Yes, it is before the dawn. Yes, the air is cold. But now is the time to see. Here, wear my robe. I feel no chill. Here, wear my sandals. I would walk on…

  • Dream: The Apostate

    The ride to the cathedral was uneventful. I had dozed off and awoke only when the gentle rhythms of the freeway was replaced by the jerks of the unmaintained road. My friend’s face was very grim. His jaw set as tight as his fists on the leather wrapped steering wheel. It was bothering him that…

  • Dream: Life for Mother

    I’ve dreamt about many an alternate world involving insects before. Been a space marine infiltrating a insectoid species’s space station looking for survivors of a brutal germ warfare attack. (As a human, I was immune.) In another dream, I found myself standing in a field of yellow daisies, standing with arms outstretched while a large…

  • Dream: Black Hole Star

    I’m floating. Aware of movement, but not aware of orientation. One side of me is exposed to great heat, of such intensity the physics whore in me is screaming of the impossibility of existing here. The fantasy bitch calmly reaches over and slaps her, saying, “We’re dreaming, silly. Shut up and enjoy the ride.” I…

  • Why I Magic: Dream & (Lots of) Exposition

    I’ve been meaning to write about how I play at magic, but various mental dams and iceblocks keep tripping me up. So instead of writing the “how”, instead, I’ll write the “why”. Magic for me has always been about control. Not control of other people. Not control of the dipshits and numbnuts that seem to…

  • Dream: Geometry, Episode 2

    I’m missing a crucial component of my personal seal. The seal is based on a circle within a circle, to represent the Innermost Self and the Outer Self. The framework for the Outer Self is done. Try as I might, I cannot scribe anything to my satisfaction representing the Innermost Self. This afternoon, I take…

  • Dream: Geometry, Episode 1

    I have been struggling to create a personal seal for a (yet another) magickal project. For some reason, I quickly became fixated on using the compass and straight-edge to create it. Perhaps I like making things difficult. Perhaps. Over the weekend of January 29-30, I had a vicious migraine. It confined me to bed for…

  • Dream: Goodbye, My Love

    Last I saw Rigson in person, I was passing through the coffee house last week. (Last time in a dream, he was tying me up.) I had dropped my trimmed Thoth deck when getting out of the car. While I was sure I had picked up every card that had fallen, my nerves would not…

  • Dream Analysis: Book of Ur

    Slicing and dicing the afternoon’s dream: “Book of Ur“. Warning, meandering thoughts ahead.

  • Dream: Book of Ur

    I wasn’t fully sleep. But I wasn’t fully awake, either. Sitting at the bus stop, enjoying some peace and quiet before my daughter arrived from school. She had just texted me, her bus was late arriving to the school. No worries, I texted back, I would take a nap and wait for her. The winds…
