Coffee… good. I skipped out on some opportunities to fire the shoal sigil for an extra burst of “good cheer” at work, and work went as I could expect for it. But I did that on purpose, as one person’s cheer is another person’s misery. Enforcing boundaries sometimes means pissing people off.

When I drew the shoal sigil over my coffee, it wasn’t for the confirmation that I was safe for human interaction had my daily coffee, it was for establishing the goal of working towards That Thing I Want™ the focus for the day. The same for when I did my morning yoga, when I greeted…

The reason I went “light” for the DoMagick challenge is because I’m going “heavy” with another personal set of challenges elsewhere. The two overlapped as my body slept very well for the night, but my mind was a whirlwind of reflection, activity, and experiences.

The good news is I slept like a log. The bad news is I remember I dreamt something very important, but I had no memory of that dream because of how deeply I slept. I’m going to have to set a note on the pillow to remind me to skip the bedtime firing, I guess. Otherwise,…

Before I crawled into bed the night before, I drew the shoal sigil over my pillow. Again I slept hard and deep, with only the knowledge that I dreamt a thing coming with me to wakefulness in the morning. Of all the methods of activating the sigil that I have been experimenting with, drawing it…

I have often heard of, sometimes revealed, and twice distinctly experienced, a magical phenomenon that I call “ripples”. Where the effects of a ritual or working still yet to be completed at a future date are felt in the present. The greater potential impact of the ritual or working, the sooner the ripples are felt.…

The morning started… poorly. I’m not one to play office politics, and there was no easy way to challenge the coworker’s maneuvering without lowering myself to her level and/or being petty as fuck. “Good cheer” doesn’t take sides and watching her gloat over her perceived win had me chewing my tongue for a few minutes.…

I drew the sigil over my morning coffee to mark off the day as complete, then reminded myself from any further intentional recall, drawing, or envisioning of the sigil. As a result, I had a Tuesday much like any other Tuesday before the challenge started. It promptly went to shit.

So about that reminder not to over fire the sigil… It was either surround myself with “good cheer” at work or snap at the wrong person at the wrong time. This week is an important one at my workplace, with all sorts of showing off, displays of human kindness, and that sickening carnival atmosphere that…

I slept. By God, I slept. When I finally woke, it was out of desperation and panic. I was strangely afraid that I was out of coffee and felt a sudden urge to get out of bed to go make some. The light was a bit off in the room, but I expected that as I…
