Fluffy?!
Okay, maybe a little. I like fluffy kittens and soft puppies. I’m a sucker for fluffy bunnies, too. They’re so adorable with their flippity-flop ears and foofball tails. Who doesn’t like fluffy? True – true. I don’t call myself: “ScaryEvil666SatanicWitchSorceressDarkPriestessofLeviathan”, but I sometimes go by the moniker “Adrianna” because that’s been my magickal nickname since the late 80’s. Of course…

Necromantic Sacraments
The companion chapbook to S. Connolly’s bestselling Honoring Death and companion to Keys of Ocat. This is a supplementary ritual and prayer book that completes S. Connolly’s trilogy of Daemonolatry necromancy reference works. While the other books aren’t necessary to understand or use this book, if you are unfamiliar with Daemonolatry necromancy you might want to first read Honoring Death. Initial…

Coming Out of the Broom Closet
Coming out of the broom closet. That’s a phrase a lot of pagans and witches use when it comes to telling their families that they’re witches and no longer Christian, or whatever brand of religion they formerly practiced (or pretended to practice). I know all about coming out of the broom closet. Been there, done that. Having also been around…

Pizza Delivery… “Umm, are you a witch?”
It didn’t occur to me why the contractor was looking over my shoulder and fidgeting nervously. It didn’t occur to me until after he’d left. I wonder how long he’d been staring at the Anubis statues and the ritual dagger sitting next to a piece of parchment dotted with my blood. Across from that, the offering bowl with burnt bits of…

Discrimination & Discernment
I actually got this post idea from the esoteric author Sorita d’Este after she asked the question on her FB “How important is discrimination on a magical and spiritual path? And … how often is discrimination ignored because of a feeling that one should be more “accepting” of others?” It’s a brilliant question actually. My answer to it will probably…

Authenticity
I want to take a moment to discuss paganism, occultism, spirituality and authenticity. People LOVE debating and questioning the authenticity of anyone who doesn’t believe, practice, or grow spiritually in the same way they do. I think anyone who thinks their way is the only way or the only one-true way of anything (with regard to spirituality) and believes that their…

Rigidity Makes for Bad Magicians
Rigid magicians are limited magicians. Now this is just my personal opinion, but let me share with you why I think this. First let me define what I mean by “rigid” magician. The rigid magician is one who follows magick by-the-book, follows rigid definitions, or has an impersonal magickal path that he follows to the letter. First, when you follow something…

The Spiritual Me
I noticed a lot of people visit this site from my author pages on Amazon. More specifically, the S. Connolly author page. Because of this I thought it appropriate to take a moment to briefly discuss this website and my spirituality. I don’t really go into depth about my personal spirituality on this public blog since fans of my fiction cross the…
