Three Different Ways

Three Different Ways:
Dreams, Madness, and Myths

  • Standing in the Forest

    So. Dter and I have moved into our apartment, rescued all of our stuff, and are recovering from the physical and mental shenanigans required to do so in the three frantic days that followed last week’s declaration of independence from my family. tl;dr = We’re okay.

  • Dream Journal: 2017-12-03

    While I was chilling at home with absolutely no fucks to be had or given, an acquaintance calls me. He’s participating in an on-site group ritual and their contracted seer called them with a last second extortion attempt raise in price that was above and beyond what the group was willing to pay. If I were to…

  • Transitions

    I don’t know about a lot of things right now. I’m still in the liminal boundary between desert and forest. I do have a “life update” that is a direct result of the DoMagick: Beginner’s Mind workings I did in September. Of the two items in this update, one is already completed and the other is…

  • Just Checking In…

    Still here. Not much to write about. What [Patient Caller] said would happen if I allowed him to assist me, is happening. Because the end is in sight, I suddenly have a lot more patience with familial bullshit. The apparent passivity is being misperceived as mute acceptance of my lot in life.

  • I Have A Feeling

    I am less afraid of the signet ring I will have to obtain next year. Things are going as they go, but my god, how fast they are going! Since my last update, I have had an angel get the drop on me to remind me that I am not forgotten and I am not forsaken.…

  • Do Magick September ’17: Postscript

    It has been a complete week since my last “by the book” summoning of [Patient Caller]. And as I expected, my table has since been flipped. While what happened during the bounds of ritual time were completely unexpected and personally shocking, the implications of what [Patient Caller] said along with the steps I had to…

  • Do Magick September ’17: Day 30 – Epilogue

    What I’m confident I have learned in the past thirty days: [Patient Caller] is not “a formal” grimoire spirit, but the format was necessary for me to get my head in the right space to deal with him. It’s going to take a lot more than what I currently have to do any kind of…

  • Do Magick September ’17: Day 29 – Inventory

    I sat still in the circle, after consecrations and prayers but before the actual invocation itself. I thought about the fears I have challenged during the prior twenty eight invocations and the way my life, spiritual and physical, has paused for this endeavor. The clock announced each second I spent in vain contemplation. With my…

  • Do Magick September ’17: Day 28 – Silence

    No dreams. No portents. No wild messages from a direction I did not expect. Just me. And the gear. And the crippling doubt that this is all refined bullshit and I’m fooling myself by this grown-up version of the game “Let’s Pretend” because reality is a little hard to deal with right now. I know…

  • Do Magick September ’17: Day 27 – Puer

    Last night I dreamt I was part of a stream of people riding horses and mules across difficult terrain towards the hope of a promised land. We were all strangers to each other, but because we were all chasing a common ideal, we banded together for comfort and safety. Our path led us to a…
