Do Magick December ’18: Day 1 – Cut & Paste
For the December 2018 DoMagick Challenge, I’m going to keep things as simple as I can. Which is neither simple nor easy because I have the tendency to overcomplicate everything. I could probably overcomplicate breathing if allowed to dwell on it for too long. There are times I’m comfortable doing things for the sake of…

Do Magick August ’18: Day 30 – Salt
The obligation came and went without issue, as did setting up for the summoning of [Patient Caller] to follow. But after speaking the summoning words and closing my eyes, the after-image of one of the candles split into three identical fractures of itself. The false image of the flame spun in a tight circle that…

Do Magick August ’18: Day 29 – Rite
The morning obligation came and went. When it came time to add the cedarwood oil to the oil burner, the bottle would not cooperate. Despite being mostly full, it took a lot of shaking, wiggling, and coaxing to get three drops of oil out of it. The chamber appeared to darken from the cardinal red…

Do Magick August ’18: Day 28 – Comfort
Today the chamber had the appearance of holding the profile of a person within it. Shoulders, neck, head, and some basic features of a face. I was not perturbed to see it, but regarded it as just one more optical illusion caused by the reflection off the polished brass and refraction through the glass front.…

Do Magick August ’18: Day 27 – Sandbox
The light of the candles gave the chamber the illusion of the appearance of someone seated cross legged inside the chamber. It was fun to watch how my mind drew a figure from the fewest curves possible. It took until today for me to realize that when speaking the words “Rede, rede, rede in pace,”…

Do Magick August ’18: Day 26 – Solar
Yesterday evening, I managed to complete an elective action that I had been attempting to do for a good part of the month. I could not get myself in the right headspace for it because of my sorrows and had all but given up. The spirit involved in that elective signaled that it wanted to…

Do Magick August ’18: Day 25 – Recap
So of course now that I have spoken about collecting the dripped wax for later use, I have been given indication to stop collecting wax as I now “have enough”. Enough for what, I don’t know, yet. Otherwise, the obligation and the summoning both were completed without any further surprises. The impetus to close my eyes doesn’t…

Do Magick August ’18: Day 24 – Continue
No difficulties with setting up for my obligation though I did have thoughts of a figure I regard as a “personal saint” intruding throughout the meditation. I’m not sure what to make of it at this time. I will note that he, too, has said that he has never stopped praying for me. No difficulties…

Do Magick August ’18: Day 23 – Check-in
When I dripped the cedarwood oil into the bowl of the hot oil warmer, I didn’t hear anything unusual from the bowl. When I held the tarot card over the oil warmer to collect the scent and withdrew it, I noticed the card face was covered in splatter. I wiped the splatter off with my…
