Book Review: Occult Encyclopedia of Magic Squares
The Occult Encyclopedia of Magic Squares by Nineveh Shadrach is exactly what it says it is. A book of magick squares. Here’s the thing about this book — it’s a reference book for working magicians. I don’t see it being useful for dabblers or those who have a mild curiosity. If you’re looking for something to teach you how to make or work…

Plans for the Year Ahead
A friend of mine said that today seems like a day to take a long and thoughtful look at goals for the year ahead. I agree. A lot of people start their years with New Years Resolutions. I made a resolution years ago to make no more resolutions. Instead – I start by updating my goal lists. As an independent publisher,…

December Greetings
Happy Holidays to all! I am enjoying my holiday so far. I hope all of you are, too. The Infernal Colopatiron has gone to print. The day job has been busy.

For ID we had to find another editor because my usual editor at Darkerwood had a death in the family. Really, if it hasn’t been one thing it’s…

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…

Winter Wonderland
You know, I don’t mind snow all that much if I don’t have to drive in it. This weekend was one of those weekends I didn’t have to drive in it – and therefore it was beautiful. I loved sitting on the couch, covered in cat, sipping a cup of cocoa while the snow fell. Perhaps I should have at…
