Write Which Way?
Since I often find myself being asked which word processing software I use, let’s talk about writing and word processing programs. One would think that all word processing programs are created equal. That Open Office and Word Perfect are just as good as MS Word, or that your OS’s included text editor is just as good as Scrivener – and if you’re…

Book Collection
I am often asked about my occult book collection. It’s large enough. No, it’s not exclusively full of limited edition hardcovers or too much collection worthy. In fact, a lot of it is relatively standard. I keep everything I purchase, no matter how awful, just so the coven has access if anything. I keep these books in the temple for easy…

F*ing Unicorns
Everyone’s always asking what is up with the unicorns. There’s an anecdote behind all the unicorn goodness that goes on over on my FB page, and even in my fiction. It goes a little something like this: Years ago I was actively submitting short fiction to professional science fiction and fantasy magazines. For the most part, I had finally graduated past generic form…

Controversial Topics in Fiction
There’s that old adage out there that states, “Never discuss religion or politics if you want to be liked.” Well – the truth is I don’t write just to be liked.

Cursed: An Occult Drama
It’s that time again. Time for me to step up on my soapbox and piss people off. So here goes — I am convinced 85% of occult practitioners (regardless path or paradigm) should have pursued amateur theater. Why? Aside from the constant pageantry, preening, in-fighting, shit-talking and rumor mills among more social types, every time I turn around I meet…

So I hopped on over to HubSpot’s handy dandy Blog Topic Generator, threw in the words “Demon” and “Magick” and it gave me 5 potential blog topic headlines and this was…

Honest Encouragement
It’s my belief there are two types of encouragement in the world. The first is unconditional. No matter how unrealistic or idealistic one’s goals are, unconditional encouragement is where you tell someone they can do whatever they want no matter what. My mom gave me a lot of unconditional encouragement when I was growing up by telling me I could…
