Things Are About to Get Cryptic #domagick
I caught myself red-handed. There I was saying to myself, “I have just as good a chance as any! I’m successful! ” And then crippling self-sabotage rolled in and scoffed at me. “Ha! You think you’re good enough? Do you actually think this is something for you? You’re a complete fucking fraud and you suck, my friend. Don’t delude yourself.…

Guest Post: Veronica Smith #horror #reading #WiHM8
Author Interview How would you describe yourself if you were “speed dating” your readers? I’m kind of quiet, I don’t post much myself on Facebook or Twitter but I share other posts. I’m a bit of a loner. What’s something fans would find fascinating about you? I sleep inWonder Woman pajama pants. That’s kind of my thing that everyone laughs…

Guest Post: Secret Confession: I’m Not a Woman in Horror #WiHM8
“Why did you pretend to be a man?” The question, posed after the release of my Gothic novel Verland: The Transformation https://www.amazon.com/Verland-Transformation-BE-Scully/dp/1460907000 , thrilled me. After all, I’d gone to the trouble of choosing a cryptic social media “author” picture; I pretzel-twisted my bio and write-ups to avoid the Great “Her-She-Ms.-Ma-am” Pronoun giveaway; I’d written a pretty muscular novel. Okay,…

The Art of Weapons #WiHM8
A. F. Stewart is an author of speculative fiction (fantasy, sci-fi, horror). Her published books include Horror Haiku and Other Poems, the Killers and Demons series, and Ruined City.

Guest Posts Galore! #authors #amwriting
Hi there fans, frienemies, and passers by. I figured I’d drop everyone a quick blog post to let you know what is coming up on the sjreisner.com blog in the next few months because it’s going to be fun. So of course next month we have a ton of #domagick blogs that will include my daily work with Ashtaroth and…

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…

Yes, Meditation is a Foundational Magickal Practice #magick #occult #daemonolatry
People often misunderstand my position on things because they may have only read a single book or two of mine. To fully understand my positions, however, it is often necessary to read my entire body of work. Just because I don’t beat something to death in every guide or book I write, doesn’t mean I don’t think it’s important to…

Bathin upon Ashtaroth – #domagick
Bathin (or Bathym, Mathim, Marthim) is a Duke (Great Duke according to Pseudomonarchia Daemonum) of Hell, who has under his command thirty legions of demons. He knows the virtues of precious stones and herbs, and can bring men suddenly from one country to another. He helps one attain astral projection, and takes you wherever you want to go. He is…

Flogging Me, Flogging You! #domagick
It’s time for me to start my research for the current #domagick challenge. One of my larger goals this year is to, at some point, do a Sorath working later in the year. But there’s a lot of prep work leading to that. After all, you don’t want to confront Sorath on something like this if you have unresolved issues.…
