  • Do Magick September ’17: Day 7 – The Scent of Green

    I dreamt of rehabilitators moving into an area in the wake of settlers who had managed to make the decimated landscape inhabitable again. As the settlers moved in and through, they had to make decisions about keeping restorable buildings intact but unusable, or make the necessary changes to obtain shelter but in the process, destroy…

  • Do Magick September ’17: Day 6 – Snooze Control

    An unpleasant event yesterday evening left me with barely any energy left to take care of myself, much less double check the usual things I do before bed. Emotional traumas can turn even the strongest of spines into dust, and by the time my head had hit the pillow, all I wanted to do was…

  • Do Magick September ’17: Day 5 – When Is Here? Where Is Now?

    All night long I dreamt of performing the ritual. Laying out the gear and saying the prayers. Raising the thin brown book and my hand while reciting incantations. Lowering of the amulet and raising the knife. At first, the scene was properly linear. First this, then that. The book is lifted before it can be…

  • Do Magick September ’17: Day 4 – “You Are Capable”

    I ran my thumb over the smoothest side of the small piece of amber, feeling the rippled surface. “Too bad I can’t smooth it with my rough hands alone.” I had originally discounted this particular piece because of its size in the store, but I remembered that the Book of Oberon, along with other grimoires,…

  • Do Magick September ’17: Day 2 – I Want To Believe

    I have a vivid imagination. Visualization of fictional works comes very easy to me and all my senses join in on the fabrication. But no matter how deep or encompassing the experience, it is still set apart, still “not real”. Because of this, I like to think that I am not easily fooled by what…

  • Do Magick September ’17: Day 1 – I Wasn’t Ready (But I Did It Anyway)

    To get to the quick of it: The notebook wasn’t complete. What was originally envisioned as a dedicated note book became something else by the end of the last day of preparation. It had become a grimoire.

  • Dream Journal: 2017-08-25.01

    All week long I’ve been worried as hell that I’m gonna Fuck It Up something big and have my shame documented for all to see. (There’s a difference between “nothing happened” and “uh-oh”.) Last night I heard a train of people passing by my closed bedroom door. I attributed it to family members having to reckon with…

  • Do Magick September ’17: Beginner’s Mind

    I’m starting with only the latter third of the month of August left for my formal research period, though I’ve been poking at this topic since the end of June when I participated in a group exercise in summoning a grimoire spirit. It has taken me this long to make the determination to do this…
