Dream: Geometry, Episode 2
I’m missing a crucial component of my personal seal. The seal is based on a circle within a circle, to represent the Innermost Self and the Outer Self. The framework for the Outer Self is done. Try as I might, I cannot scribe anything to my satisfaction representing the Innermost Self. This afternoon, I take…

Dream: Geometry, Episode 1
I have been struggling to create a personal seal for a (yet another) magickal project. For some reason, I quickly became fixated on using the compass and straight-edge to create it. Perhaps I like making things difficult. Perhaps. Over the weekend of January 29-30, I had a vicious migraine. It confined me to bed for…

Dream: Goodbye, My Love
Last I saw Rigson in person, I was passing through the coffee house last week. (Last time in a dream, he was tying me up.) I had dropped my trimmed Thoth deck when getting out of the car. While I was sure I had picked up every card that had fallen, my nerves would not…

RSS Feeds, A Rant
If my posts aren’t looking right in your RSS reader, or if they are limited to first paragraph only (or other such nonsense), do drop me a line and let me know so I can fix it.

Dream Analysis: Book of Ur
Slicing and dicing the afternoon’s dream: “Book of Ur“. Warning, meandering thoughts ahead.

Dream: Book of Ur
I wasn’t fully sleep. But I wasn’t fully awake, either. Sitting at the bus stop, enjoying some peace and quiet before my daughter arrived from school. She had just texted me, her bus was late arriving to the school. No worries, I texted back, I would take a nap and wait for her. The winds…

Nothing To See Here, Nothing Exposed
I had a nice, long, multiple paged monster of a post typed out here. Really explored my magic style and how different influences have changed it over the years. Nuked the whole thing, intentionally.

Dream Denizen: Saturn (planetary)
A close friend of mine, I call him “Pharoah” here, formally introduced me to invoking the planets two years ago. I completely dismissed the idea because of my lack of magickal experience. Didn’t invoking planetary powers require all sorts of props, preparations, and solitude? I lacked all three. He corrected my errors and showed me…

Piping Thought
My pipe is going out. It will require gentle obsessive nursing to keep it going. Or I can let it cool and die, only to refill and light it anew on another day. That’s pretty much where I am at in my life. The “old ways” and habits I’ve used this year are dwindling in…

Another Change in Plans
What did Daddy always tell me? “Don’t trust a drink you didn’t fetch yourself.” True, but that doesn’t apply here. “Don’t start something you can’t finish.” Yea, that’s it. While he was referring to fights (and yes, I do finish all fights that I start and a few that I didn’t start but got caught…
