Do Magick December ’18: Day 8 – Time To Do This
Wouldn’t you know it, there are no seals or sigils specifically for time management in þe auld bēċ [the old books]. As it will take more words to complain about my findings than it will to describe my findings, instead I will detail how I’m going to complicate the week with an ad hoc sigil…

Do Magick December ’18: Day 7 – Nothing To Talk About
Of my very long list of Important Things To Do On Saturday, nothing very important was actually done. The day started off being annoying and transitioned to being comfortable once the sun had set. As such, I didn’t look in any of my books for additional seals, but just let the time get away from…

Do Magick December ’18: Day 6 – The Right Amount of Fear
Another day, another scheduled meeting, another undercurrent of anxiety. Another time to note just how many unnecessary meetings come with a management position. Did we really need to wait around for fifteen minutes for a five minute meeting where we’re told that time management training is now available on the company intranet. Oh, and enrollment…

Do Magick December ’18: Day 5 – Not To Scale
After yesterday’s post, a series of events unfolded overnight that put the talisman and my personal wards to the test. The results were that the talisman proved to be as effective against the unusual stressor as a paper stop sign would be at holding back a runaway freight train.

Do Magick December ’18: Day 4 – Quietly Surprised
The work meeting that usually happens every Wednesday didn’t happen today. I am one part disappointed, one part surprised, and one part not surprised in the least. The day passed with a bit of pressure but not so little that I could say it was unusually light.

Do Magick December ’18: Day 3 – Just Passing Through
My participation in today’s work day was cut short due to previous commitments. When I parked to complete the day’s requirements, I took the mini-book out, stilled myself, read the written words, and announced that I would complete the needed tasks for the day without interruption.

Do Magick December ’18: Day 2 – Just The Usual
Why would I need a talisman that repels fear? Because I am a fearful person and fear is crippling when running amok and unchecked. Fear ties my hands and makes me unable to process non-threatening information. Unwarranted fear pisses me the hell off, actually. Which is why I picked this talisman to use for the…

Do Magick December ’18: Day 1 – Cut & Paste
For the December 2018 DoMagick Challenge, I’m going to keep things as simple as I can. Which is neither simple nor easy because I have the tendency to overcomplicate everything. I could probably overcomplicate breathing if allowed to dwell on it for too long. There are times I’m comfortable doing things for the sake of…

Acceptance
Seven years and a few months ago, I dreamt of giving up what was a powerful and personal symbol. The bow, sometimes as elaborate and decorated as a role playing game’s prop, sometimes as simple and unremarkable as a wood and string can get, was a weapon my dream self best used against my fears.…

A Marked Panic
Once upon a summoning, the attending spirit reviewed my protections, noted their efficacy, and told me the one thing they can do to nullify all of them with little or no effort. «Remember what I told you of the amulet. To negate its protection, all I have to do is make you panic, for in…
