Preliminary August #DoMagick
I have finally figured out what I’m doing for my August #DoMagick Challenge. The topic for the month is summoning. As you likely know, Daemonolaters don’t like, or use, the word summon on principle alone. You summon a servant or something that you control in some way. Perhaps it is silly semantic nonsense, but it did give me a new…

June #DoMagick – Enchantments
This month I’m going to do a repeat of an enchantment I actually did last June because I’m starting to feel the anxiety of convention/conference season. As many of you know, I suffer from extreme social anxiety. I am terrified of public speaking and having to be around people, and yet – as a modern author – that’s part of…

Day Twenty-Six: Leviathan #DoMagick
I’m working with the Leviathan current through the end of the month. Incorporating it into my existing Sorath work, my demiurgic contemplation, and ascension. The cleansing meditations continue. The alchemization of what I don’t want is manifesting as dissolution. Glorious dissolution. Cards for the 26th: Chariot – Momentum, Competence, self-discipline, determination Lily – Enjoy the small successes.Put ideas into practice.…

Day Twenty-Five: Roads #DoMagick
Today I did my cleansing meditation in the morning and this afternoon, I made a fascinating discovery. It’s a bit personal so I don’t know if I want to share it here, but I’m beginning to think the parochial diligence with which I’ve tackled certain things is going to stop. Just in saying that, I am feeling less stressed and…

Day Twenty-Four: The Sorath Tie-In #DoMagick
It’s important at this point to discuss the Sorath tie-in to this months #DoMagick. It seems the model, regardless its setting, brings a lot of attention to the magician using it. Not always good attention either. I’ve not changed the model specifically because I do feel that I need to learn to weather that spotlight and that these experiences are actually…

Day Twenty-Three: Other People’s Agendas #DoMagick
Have you ever gotten to that point where you are doing things quickly just to get them done and to get other people off your ass? That’s where I’m at today. Today is all about other people’s agendas and getting their agendas out of my life so I can focus on MY agenda. Since it’s a day-job day, that means…

Day Fifteen: Renewel #DoMagick
Today my body told me to slow the f*ck down and take a down day, but I’m stubborn. I dragged myself out of bed at around ten this morning, spent over an hour meditating, took a nap on the couch, had some coffee. By one, I was back at the computer dealing with some email and answering my texts and…

Day Thirteen: Rest #DoMagick
Today was a rather low key day. Did my morning meditation and went to work, got everything done. Went home and spent the evening with the exceptional spouse. Just hung out really. Did my evening cleansing meditation and went to bed early. Got plenty of sleep. I did not pull cards today as I knew it would be an uneventful…

Day Eleven: The “DO” in #DoMagick
I decided this morning, after sleeping on yesterday’s thoughts, that there is no time like the present to make changes. That’s what I meditated on during this morning’s meditation. Today is a “day job” day, so I won’t be getting anything meaningful done, and I might try to do some grunt work tomorrow. As of May, I will have 2…
