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.

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…

Doing nothing yesterday paid off as I was able to jump into the schedule first thing this morning. What should have been a pleasant stop for an errand became uncomfortable as I identified another of my shortcomings that I may need help settling. It was my hope to have a third seal to add to…

I started the day with the full intention of completing So Many Things. In the end, the only thing that was completed was the reminder that the human body can only go so far without a break without breaking. As my day came to a halt, I had a random taste on my tongue. Well,…

The SATOR Square was tested today as what I was told would be a small gathering of people coming together to celebrate the departure of a beloved employee turned into a flood of employees, clients, and opportunists parading up and down the hall outside of my office. The sound levels became abusive. The number of…

The SATOR Square continues to help me keep my head above water. The time management seal continues to reveal where I need discipline. Neither one could help me with the client who had “one quick question that would only take a few minutes to answer”. I would be lying if I said I didn’t spend…
