Do Magick August ’18: Day 3 – Slumber
If you noticed the timestamp on the previous day’s post, you’ll see it was posted quite late. Work was a bear to wrestle, and while I was able to get the wording of the post done early in the day and saved to my drafts, I didn’t get to finish the post until I was…

Do Magick August ’18: Day 2 – That Rings A Bell
He said to be prepared to spend more time with my “lessons”. So I set the alarm clock to “Too Early” again and this time snoozed through two sets of alarms. My morning obligations took longer than I expected and the clock found me with just as little time for summoning Patient Caller as I did…

Do Magick August ’18: Day 1 – Welp. Here We Go Again.
Hi, I’m Keri, and against all notions of propriety, manners, grace, and self-preservation, I will be participating in another thirty days of the Do Magick challenge. What. The. Hell. (right?) To spare you the long version if this post is your first catch up with me since the June Do Magick challenge, lemme summarize the month…

Do Magick June ’18: Day 30 – Last Call
The last DoMagick challenge I participated in triggered a series of events that led to me having a ten-thousand dollar war-chest at one point (one of last year’s “Low Probability” sigiled desires even to the dollar amount) and then spending that war-chest to obtain and furnish an apartment for my daughter and me in secret…

Do Magick June ’18: Day 29 – Mad? Good!
The early start meant skipping yoga. But it will take a disaster to make me skip my coffee. Drawing the shoal sigil in the air with the full coffee mug requires attention and wakefulness so not to spill a drop. Life hack: Use your weaknesses to draw out your strengths. By the time I had…

Do Magick June ’18: Day 28 – A Peer and a Fellow
Last night I came home from work too damn late than I should have. I thought the carousel discourse in the closed door meetings would be the high point of the day. I keep forgetting that no plan ever survives contact with the public. I came home, drew the shoal sigil over my pillow for…

Do Magick June ’18: Day 27 – Luck Doesn’t Wait
Coffee. Yoga. Looked at the lottery ticket I had bought last week and had forgotten about almost immediately. Resolved to check the ticket at lunch and stuck it in my pocket. Some days, if I don’t make my own luck, I have no luck at all.

Do Magick June ’18: Day 26 – The Measurement of Trust
More than my balance was upset yesterday at work, and after holding my tongue about the increasingly thickening and darkening atmosphere for longer than I could tolerate, I finally told one of my superiors about my concerns. I only meant to address the topics that were “safe” to talk about. Pull one thread and unravel…

Do Magick June ’18: Day 25 – Nobody’s Fault But Mine
Still sick, day two. Coffee. Yoga. Contemplation of certain life choices. Not enough to stop me from going to work, though. The contradictory signals from my superiors, my peers, and my subordinates kept me confused all day long. I was braced for someone to tap me on the shoulder at any time to escort me off the…

Do Magick June ’18: Day 24 – It Was Good At The Time
I’m going to need a weekend to recover from my weekend. I woke early despite ensuring all clocks and noise makers were deactivated. The shenanigans from the day prior were a success. “Good cheer”, indeed! But as I entered the bend into the final week of June, and with it, the final challenge, I felt…
