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.

Not being versed in angelic lore, I had no way to vet the change and determine if it was within the expected bounds of this work or was a marker…

Altering Expectations
I have continued the morning routine that was set as part of a class I participated in. The routine had formed the backbone of the series of daily summons I had performed in August and continues to be a moment of stillness and preparation for the bullshit of the day. The descent into the stillness…

It’s another day that ends with “Y”
And my bullshit never ceased. I just stopped talking publicly about it.

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…
