Day Ten: Finding Joy! #DoMagick
After my morning meditation and finishing some errands, I came home and worked on that final chapter. It was today, for the first time in a long time, I felt like I’d reclaimed the JOY I feel from writing. It was the first time in a long time I actually said to myself, “This is a fun book, and I…

Circling Back and Starting Over – #domagick
It’s strange because since I’ve started the preliminary work on next month’s magick, I started noticing things from the past popping up like clockwork, and not in a bad way. More of a, go-back-and-try-again-knowing-what-you-know-now, kind of way. Sometimes when we go back to the beginning, we see things we didn’t see before. Or we notice things that have always been…

Pruning the Roses!! #Hausandgarten
I didn’t get a chance to do much in the way of gardening this spring. First, every weekend for awhile there brought rain, and then I ended up having surgery requiring almost one month recovery time. Now that that’s over with, I have finally been able to wander through my garden and do some of the inevitable to-do’s. I discovered…

Wortcunning for Daemonolatry
FINALLY — I am happy to announce the release of Wortcunning for Daemonolatry. It was long overdue. The problem being I kept finding more and more to add. I don’t know how to put the pen down and step away from the manuscript evidently. In this ultimate Daemonolatry formulary, learn tried and true techniques, as well as quick and dirty tips,…

2015 Garden – The Plan
It’s that time of year again. Another ominous blog title heralds that spring has sprung, I’ve taken an inventory of seeds, and my garden plans are underway. I usually have grand, overly-ambitious plans every year, and only about 1/3 of the plan ever manifests into the actual garden whether I ran out of time, got lazy, or something just wouldn’t grow. This…

Photography Exhibit
Yet another side project that came up this summer… Some of my recent magickal photography, raw, honest, and beautiful in its imperfection, caught the attention of a curator for the online art gallery: Salon Arcano: Hermetic Art. The result is I was asked to do an online exhibit of some of my photographs. Because I would never say no to such an unique…

Burning the Candle at Both Ends
It’s what I tend to do. But I also noticed it’s something all the hardcore magicians I know do, too. What I’m saying is I’m not exclusive in my bad habit to bite off more than I can chew and burn the candle at both ends. It’s a delicate art of balance to have so much going on and to…

Summer Garden Update
It was a little over 100 in the shade a little while ago before the breeze picked up. My poor veggies looked like they were wilting. So I went out and gave them a mid-day drink. I’ll water them again after 6PM tonight. But when the leaves were temporarily wilted, I found a good sized cuke, 1 gigantic zucchini (the answer is…

I Love Productive Days
Overall today was a very productive writing day. I put down 1,000 on one book, 3,000 on another, and a scant but workable 1,000 on Lily. I’m getting some of these lingering projects that I’ve been working on forever off of my plate so I can move forward. In case anyone missed the announcement, I have a new Daemonolatry book coming out called…

Garden Goodness: It’s a Greenhouse!
So finally, after several years of putting it off, my husband and I finally put up the greenhouse kit we bought several years ago for about $250 (with a coupon – Harbor Freight!). I’m rather excited about it. As a novice Rocky Mountain gardener, one of the biggest annoyances I’ve encountered with the garden is that our growing season is…
