Do Magick June ’18: Day 7 – Ripples
I have often heard of, sometimes revealed, and twice distinctly experienced, a magical phenomenon that I call “ripples”. Where the effects of a ritual or working still yet to be completed at a future date are felt in the present. The greater potential impact of the ritual or working, the sooner the ripples are felt.…

Do Magick June ’18: Day 6 – Personal Victories
The morning started… poorly. I’m not one to play office politics, and there was no easy way to challenge the coworker’s maneuvering without lowering myself to her level and/or being petty as fuck. “Good cheer” doesn’t take sides and watching her gloat over her perceived win had me chewing my tongue for a few minutes.…

Do Magick June ’18: Day 5 – Get Out What You Put In
I drew the sigil over my morning coffee to mark off the day as complete, then reminded myself from any further intentional recall, drawing, or envisioning of the sigil. As a result, I had a Tuesday much like any other Tuesday before the challenge started. It promptly went to shit.

Do Magick June ’18: Day 4 – Don’t Worry, Be Happy
So about that reminder not to over fire the sigil… It was either surround myself with “good cheer” at work or snap at the wrong person at the wrong time. This week is an important one at my workplace, with all sorts of showing off, displays of human kindness, and that sickening carnival atmosphere that…

Do Magick June ’18: Day 3 – Too Much Of A Good Thing
I slept. By God, I slept. When I finally woke, it was out of desperation and panic. I was strangely afraid that I was out of coffee and felt a sudden urge to get out of bed to go make some. The light was a bit off in the room, but I expected that as I…

Do Magick June ’18: Day 2 – If You Needed A Sign…
Ah, Saturday! No alarm clocks to get in the way. No need to leave by a certain hour. Just me, my bed, and the dream of sleeping in while a two foot tall glowing sigil floats in front of my face. I was lucid, and knew I was dreaming. The room was perfectly presented in…

Do Magick June ’18: Day 1 – Fire In The Hole
I had personally committed to participating in the June 2018 Do Magick when it was first announced, and made a wee public commitment late last month. And then went radio silent about it immediately after. I am already entangled in some shenanigans that will limit the scope of what I can do for the challenge.…

The Spinning Ring
Yesterday, my mentor sat across from me in my office at work with the door closed and discussed official and personal matters. I kept my hands clasped on the desk between us and listened carefully to what was said, what wasn’t said, and what was felt.

Do Magick September ’17: Postscript
It has been a complete week since my last “by the book” summoning of [Patient Caller]. And as I expected, my table has since been flipped. While what happened during the bounds of ritual time were completely unexpected and personally shocking, the implications of what [Patient Caller] said along with the steps I had to…
