Three Different Ways:
Dreams, Madness, and Myths

I took some time before the work day actually began to retrieve and open the mini-book to the red time management seal. I read and spoke the latin words written in it as solemnly and softly as I could in the office. I then put the mini-book back in my wallet and began the day…

Of the three things that were on my To Do list this morning (not counting coffee), the first one fell flat because I realized that it is a calendar sensitive task that can only be worked and completed on a Saturday. The second took longer to do than I had anticipated. And the third will…

The problem with “Set & Observe” operations is that observing can be boring to do, boring to ponder, and even more boring to report. And yet, that is my report for the day as the passive sigils didn’t have anything to overtly influence. As I don’t “do” Christmas, today has been more of an extended…

After adding the shoal sigil to the mini-book, I placed it under a heavy candle holder, lit a tea light in the holder, said some words, and let the candle do as a candle does overnight. At the beginning of the month, I resolved to keep the unfolding experiment as simple and as quick as…

Last week, I took up Andrew Watt’s book recommendation and realized how I could use the skill in both my esoteric and mundane hobbies. If nothing else, duplicating the diagrams in the book will give me something to focus on when the pains of the past try to strangle me in the present. So I…

I promised myself that today I would have time to take care of everything I needed to take care of, including the drawing out of the shoal sigil to be included in the book. I will cross heaven and hell to keep a promise for someone else, but I am absolute shit for keeping promises…

Of course inspiration strikes at the most inconvenient of times, in the bathroom. While washing my hands I watched the water swirl in the sink. The motion reminded me of the spin of a compass and before I could blink, I had a flash image of converting the June shoal sigil gesture back into a…

As the work day went, I thought hard all day about which individual desire in the June Shoal Sigil to spin out and turn into a dedicated sigil of its own. The effort proved fruitless as of the ten component desires, four are fulfilled nearly every day anyway and the other six are not as…

In terms of active magic, there were none today. In terms of personal responsibility, I can see where I have adapted to the influences of the time management seal, and my personal historical inertia is attempting to assert itself and negate the seal. I’m now at a point with the seal where I have to…

One of the consequences to yesterday’s unexpected obligation fulfillment wasn’t completely processed by my body until this morning. Fortunately, I had started getting up a little earlier for work to give myself time for Murphy’s Law a few extra things before leaving for work so I was able to get to work on time despite…
