Do Magick September ’17: A Finalization Most Necessary
When I last checked in, I had given an outline of the ritual I was putting together for my Patient Caller and noted where I felt secure and where I needed more work. I now have the wording complete and have begun the process of writing out the entire matter onto paper so I’ll have…

Do Magick September ’17: Five Days and a Wakeup
The Objective: To use the Book of Oberon to summon and have communication (communion?) with a spirit that I have had dreams about for years.

Do Magick September ’17: Ceci n’est pas un rapport
I have “stuff” for an update to the research phase of my Do Magick project. But it’s going to take me the day to express it in words that y’all will be able to understand. I’m self-taught, as in tied to a anchor and thrown in the deep blue sea kind of taught. I had no…

Another Knot in the Path
No more excuses. I need to start tying up loose ends before I get caught and strangled by them. I reached out to [Merciful Mother] Mary and asked permission to enter Binah for a proper run across the Path of Daleth that she described as ascending the holy mountain to meet her husband. (She is,…

Spirit Journal: 2017-02-17.01
A resident just brought me a rock from where he went on vacation. I had asked him and had explained why it was a thing for me. He understood, promised discretion, and that he would take only what ever rock or pebble reminded him of me. I only had one restriction for him. No lava…
