  • Do Magick August ’18: Day 26 – Solar

    Yesterday evening, I managed to complete an elective action that I had been attempting to do for a good part of the month. I could not get myself in the right headspace for it because of my sorrows and had all but given up. The spirit involved in that elective signaled that it wanted to…

  • Do Magick August ’18: Day 25 – Recap

    So of course now that I have spoken about collecting the dripped wax for later use, I have been given indication to stop collecting wax as I now “have enough”. Enough for what, I don’t know, yet. Otherwise, the obligation and the summoning both were completed without any further surprises. The impetus to close my eyes doesn’t…

  • Do Magick August ’18: Day 24 – Continue

    No difficulties with setting up for my obligation though I did have thoughts of a figure I regard as a “personal saint” intruding throughout the meditation. I’m not sure what to make of it at this time. I will note that he, too, has said that he has never stopped praying for me. No difficulties…

  • Do Magick August ’18: Day 23 – Check-in

    When I dripped the cedarwood oil into the bowl of the hot oil warmer, I didn’t hear anything unusual from the bowl. When I held the tarot card over the oil warmer to collect the scent and withdrew it, I noticed the card face was covered in splatter. I wiped the splatter off with my…

  • Do Magick August ’18: Day 22 – Hands

    Despite trimming the candle wicks almost too short, they still ran with vigor. Twice, even! This is a different brand of candles than what I had been burning before. I’m still collecting the dripped wax just the same. All else went without incident until I spoke the summoning words and tried to immediately visualize a scene.…

  • Do Magick August ’18: Day 21 – Repose

    Some days the chamber does not appear to darken and deepen when speaking the rede words. Some days it does. I will admit to being thrilled when it does even though I am very much aware that it is an illusion, and probably one of my own making. The closing of my eyes after speaking the…

  • Do Magick August ’18: Day 20 – Cushion

    I spent the rest of yesterday taking care of needed chores and playing variations of three notes on the guitar. I spent the rest of yesterday taking a much needed break from “the woo” as much as I was able to. When I finally came back to the table for this morning’s obligation and summoning,…

  • Do Magick August ’18: Day 19 – Receipts

    Good: I bought a guitar. A cheap student model, tested in the store by the staff to make sure any terrible sounds were all my fault, along with a case, a digital tuner, and a set of self-instruction lessons. I completely grok what the spirit meant by having a hobby that can capitalize on the…

  • Do Magick August ’18: Day 18 – Pick

    Shortly after dawn I sat facing east and tried not to cry as for all the words I have in me, I could not assemble any collection of them into a prayer appropriate for the time or direction. I know the spirit said that if I could not find words to say, that sitting quietly…

  • Do Magick August ’18: Day 17 – Query

    The line between my daily obligations and the summoning of [Patient Caller] continues to blur. The lessons of one impacts the performance of the other. This morning, I forgot to lay down the warding items that the spirit had called out in a previous session. As I began the obligation, I felt something trying to…
