Do Magick December ’18: Day 11 – Working As Intended
I had forgotten all about the SATOR square seal today until my allotted time came for a Very Frustrating Board Meeting. A particular board member just doesn’t like me (gosh darnit) and I have often exited previous meetings fearing for my job.

Do Magick December ’18: Day 10 – So The Problem Is…
On the one hand, it’s the annual regular slowdown as the usual instigators have left town to visit their families, so of course things have calmed down at work. On the other hand, management is changing hands and databases are being frozen in preparation for transfer as the cataloging of community assets is digging out…

Do Magick December ’18: Day 9 – Time Managed
I go through all that trouble to make straight lines and what happens? I’m late for work. I commute quite the distance, though, so I didn’t get in trouble about it. What was interesting was that why I was late for work was very much visible and obvious. It’s a thing I could make time for, but…

Do Magick December ’18: Day 8 – Time To Do This
Wouldn’t you know it, there are no seals or sigils specifically for time management in þe auld bēċ [the old books]. As it will take more words to complain about my findings than it will to describe my findings, instead I will detail how I’m going to complicate the week with an ad hoc sigil…

Do Magick December ’18: Day 7 – Nothing To Talk About
Of my very long list of Important Things To Do On Saturday, nothing very important was actually done. The day started off being annoying and transitioned to being comfortable once the sun had set. As such, I didn’t look in any of my books for additional seals, but just let the time get away from…

Do Magick December ’18: Day 6 – The Right Amount of Fear
Another day, another scheduled meeting, another undercurrent of anxiety. Another time to note just how many unnecessary meetings come with a management position. Did we really need to wait around for fifteen minutes for a five minute meeting where we’re told that time management training is now available on the company intranet. Oh, and enrollment…

Do Magick December ’18: Day 5 – Not To Scale
After yesterday’s post, a series of events unfolded overnight that put the talisman and my personal wards to the test. The results were that the talisman proved to be as effective against the unusual stressor as a paper stop sign would be at holding back a runaway freight train.

Do Magick December ’18: Day 4 – Quietly Surprised
The work meeting that usually happens every Wednesday didn’t happen today. I am one part disappointed, one part surprised, and one part not surprised in the least. The day passed with a bit of pressure but not so little that I could say it was unusually light.

Do Magick December ’18: Day 3 – Just Passing Through
My participation in today’s work day was cut short due to previous commitments. When I parked to complete the day’s requirements, I took the mini-book out, stilled myself, read the written words, and announced that I would complete the needed tasks for the day without interruption.

Do Magick December ’18: Day 2 – Just The Usual
Why would I need a talisman that repels fear? Because I am a fearful person and fear is crippling when running amok and unchecked. Fear ties my hands and makes me unable to process non-threatening information. Unwarranted fear pisses me the hell off, actually. Which is why I picked this talisman to use for the…
