Daemon Directory Android App Released
Welcome to the latest project Darkerwood Publishing Group has been working on. Daemon Directory, an official app from demonolatry.org, is a compendium of 100 daemons that traditional Daemonolaters work with most often. Entries for each daemon includes purposes, enns (invocations), correspondences, and more, as well as useful descriptions from author S. Connolly and the Goetia. A handy and essential reference…

Upcoming Daemonolatry Books #demonolatry #occult
People have been wondering why I haven’t released any new Daemonolatry books lately. There are a few reasons for this. I’ve covered the bulk of the basics already and for the most part, I’ve written all the beginner material already, minus a few topics that other authors have covered, alleviating the need for me to weigh in. I am moving…

Submerging into the Demiurge
For those who have been following me here, on my newsletter, or on my Patreon, you know that one of the books I’m currently working on is a book about Leviathan and the Demiurge. Sometimes books take longer for me to write just because I need to put in the actual magickal work before I start putting things to paper.…

Everything Roses
In tarot, the symbol of roses suggests everything is in balance. Perhaps that’s why roses keep showing up in my life. The hectic schedule is finally starting to wind down and I’m tremendously excited for 2019. I have a lot going on. However, I have to remember that I still have a few things to pull out of the hat…

Day 6: Bathin Offering & Prayers #domagick
I woke at 7, fed the cats, then went into the temple to leave offerings and prayers to Bathin. Today, in offering, I just burnt incense of frankincense and sandalwood. I said a quick prayer. I won’t lie and say it was a long one, it wasn’t. I simply asked for guidance on how to stop self-sabotage. The response I…

The Daemonolater’s Guide to: Spirit Keeping, Daemonic Possession, and Daemonic Prayer
That’s right! It’s time for more Daemonolater’s Guides. The Daemonolater’s Guide series is mostly unplanned and random, and whatever comes into my inbox with frequency will usually have a guide written about it. That way when the question comes up again (as it usually does), I can point someone to The Guide and save myself the repetitive task of having…

Why I Don’t Take on Apprentices
Again this week I was asked if I take on apprentices. Usually when Frank, my assistant, tells them no, they come back with, “Why?” So this post is the official, nothing withheld answer as to why I don’t take on apprentices. First – Being an apprentice/teacher requires a great deal of actual face-to-face contact. Daily is best. As an introvert…

Magickal vs. Spiritual Practice: The Art of Balancing Theosophy, Thaumaturgy, and Theurgy
Since I’ve already talked about why I don’t blog a lot about magick, but probably should, it seemed natural for me to choose this topic for my first post of 2016. This post (or thinly veiled rant if you prefer, possibly narcissistic), of course, was inspired by a conversation I had with a new practitioner of Daemonolatry who was only…

Why the Occulture is Poison to Magicians
Last night after I shared an excerpt of my forthcoming novel, a fellow magick practitioner decided to rip me a new one for my Ascending Darkness cover. First, you should probably know the cover depicts a pentacle of Mercury atop the Chaote symbol. So the critic basically told me that my cover artist was horrific because my cover showed ignorance…

On Why I Teach
I learned in my twenties and thirties that I didn’t like to teach. No, really. I hated teaching. Actually, let me clarify, I developed a dislike of students. Mostly because it used to be that I didn’t charge anything to teach. Not a single. damn. cent. Nope. I taught whoever wanted to learn. The problem is that some people say…
