Manifesting
A friend of mine (non-occultist) who is truly amazing at reaching her goals, often pauses in her day, takes a deep breath, sets her intention firmly in her mind, and says one word, “Manifesting.” Whether she realizes it or not, she’s practicing magick. She is causing changes to conform to her will. She is manifesting her intent simply by grounding…

The Whiny Entrepreneur
We all know these people. They wake up one day, decide to start their own business, and when it doesn’t pan out immediately, they start whining how hard it is to be self-employed. I get it! I’ve been there off and on in my 27 years as a writer trying to make my living from my creative work. There are…

Summoning 1 – The Muse is Back! #DoMagick
I woke up earlier today just to make sure I had time to perform the ritual as written with a few additions. I do better when I memorize what I’m going to say without having to read from a script. Hence the reason I keep orations short and sweet. I probably could have done more stretching this morning. I’ll do…

Days 1-6 : A Rough Start #DoMagick
I have been focusing on trying to keep my stress levels down this month just because I know how bad January was. This month could be worse since by the end of it, we should be moving all the other departments into the new office. Admittedly I have not been doing so well stress-wise. I have knots in the muscles…

When Life Requires Prioritization #scheduling #spoons
Recently it came to my attention that some folks have mistaken my dedication to my own work, and minding my own business, as not having the time to be bothered with participating in online occult discussions. While I don’t owe anyone an explanation – I think it’s important that I address this because statements like this suggest that maybe I…

Consistency & Stability #magick #adulting101 #amwriting
As with all things in life, consistency is one of the main ingredients to success. You have to show up, do the work, and do it with consistency. Far too often I meet magicians who want a quick fix (usually magickal success in any endeavor), or skills, or even a following or readership (for the occult authors out there) with none…

Another God-Damn Post About Millennials #generations #crazyoldlady
“The current generation will be the death of us all!” – said of every generation by the previous generation. I keep reading article after article bitching about millennials. That is, the generation born after mine (Gen X). I’ve concluded, after much consideration, that every article I’ve read is wrong. It’s not millennials that are the problem. It’s just people. Employers…

For Writers: How to Keep Reading While Writing
::Yes, two reading posts one after the other. I’ve really been focused on reading this year.:: At twenty-three, fresh out of college and trying to make a go of my writing career, I was burnt out on reading. After all, when you’re an English major, despite the creative writing emphasis, you tend to take a lot of literature classes. I…

Castles!!! #throwbackthursday
Everyone loves pictures of castles! 15 years ago, my husband and I did a touristy trip to Southern England. I don’t have a proper scanner for our photos, but with the wonders of modern technology (aka my phone), I took pictures of our pictures and turned them into a photo gallery to share with my readers. This is probably why…
