Day 13 – Writing & Critics #domagick
Your biggest critic will always be yourself. It doesn’t matter what you do or how well you do it, you will always have external critics. What’s worse, of course, is when you become the critic because the internal critic is a far bigger self-saboteur. We can ignore our external critics. We can label their behavior as fueled by jealousy or…

Day 12: Pleasure #domagick
Some days you just have to take it easy. Today’s Tarot Card: Six of Cups. It’s time to take it easy and go with the current. Relax. And that’s exactly what I did. No pressure, no expectations. Believe it or not, I got a lot done. The tax prep is ready to go for the accountant and if I figured…

Day 11 – The Tax Man Cometh #domagick
Last night I dreamt about doing my tax prep and woke ready to work. I also woke feeling relatively good about my work. I did a lot of seated yoga today. Long, deep stretches for about thirty minutes. It really hit the spot. Took my vitamins. Go me. Got about half the tax prep done, then a friend called and…

Today’s Focus: Data Entry + Commission + Niece Pick Up + Bank Run Tonight’s Focus: Cook dinner, spend time with spouse. Notice how writing is scheduled nowhere in there. Not. one. fucking. word.

Day 8: Bathin Upon Ashtaroth #domagick
So I’m posting this a day late because I was wicked busy yesterday. First, I woke up late so I had to settle for five sun salutations. Then, I forgot to take the vitamins. You see where this is heading, right? HA! I did manage to focus on payroll and my daily to-do’s yesterday at the office. I also managed…

Day 7: Ashtaroth Offering + Prayers #domagick
I want to establish first off that I’m glad I went with a self-caring schedule for the beginning of this challenge. This month has been wicked busy and it’s only going to get busier. Between a lot of family to-do’s, writing to-do’s, the day job, and so on – I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. But also, the weather is wreaking…

Day 6: Bathin Offering & Prayers #domagick
I woke at 7, fed the cats, then went into the temple to leave offerings and prayers to Bathin. Today, in offering, I just burnt incense of frankincense and sandalwood. I said a quick prayer. I won’t lie and say it was a long one, it wasn’t. I simply asked for guidance on how to stop self-sabotage. The response I…

Day 5 – Yoga & Pranayama #domagick
Card of the day: Ace of Wands This card is giving me the heads up that there is a creative career opportunity that will present itself. To this end I was able to finish creating some magickal items for one of my friends/clients, which was a sorely needed creative outlet. It also gave me time to work on my own…

Day 4 – Qigong + Chakra Work #domagick
I SO needed this today. My morning qigong and chakra work really energized me. I started with about 10 minutes of Tai Chi to loosen everything up then moved into about 10 minutes of Qigong meditation/breathing exercises (Shen Breathing today). Then I sat down on the mat and did a fifteen minute chakra activation and balancing meditation. When I was…
