Day 17: Picture Imperfect #domagick
When you can’t write – read. So that’s what I did last night, and I listened to an audio book today at the office. I may end up reading tonight, too (instead of writing). We shall see. ::yawn:: I am bored out of my damn mind at the office today. Nothing today either. Woke at 7:30AM, did my invocation, had…

Where Does Your Creativity Come From?
This past weekend my husband and I went to visit a friend of ours who is terminally ill. We were sitting on the back porch talking and drinking soda when our friend turned to me and asked out of the blue, “Where does your creativity come from?” Admittedly at first I thought it was an existential question, as I imagine…

Micrite 3D All Use Eye Cream #BeautyofMom
No, this isn’t a SPAM post. Every so often I try real products that I write honest reviews for. Sometimes I pay for those products and other times they’re given to me for my honest review. This product is the latter. I was given this product for free in exchange for an honest review. I love eye cream. As I…

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…

Writing About Writing… Or Not
Lately, I’ve been writing a lot about writing (for writers), and I haven’t written as much for readers as I probably should. If you saw my hard drive and sifted through it (it would take months) you’d find numerous files with half written, or even completely written, blog posts in them. Because here’s the thing — things the piss me…

My Favorite Writing Advice
1. Write. A lot. 2. Read. A lot. 3. Finish what you write. 4. Edit what you write. 5. If it doesn’t make you laugh, cry, get angry, or feel emotion – it won’t make the reader do any of those things. 6. Read it aloud. Edit accordingly. 7. When rejected, go back to the drawing board and try again.…

“Will You Make Me Rich?” and Other Bizarre Questions
Recently I confided in a friend how busy, and sometimes irritating, my mailbox is. I know that sounds insincere and snotty, but really – hear me out. Some days you get nothing and other days it’s an onslaught of inquiries – some of them from awesome readers and others really “out there” in the ether. One of the drawbacks to being an…

New Moon Enchantments
Several of my friends have brought up tonight’s new moon. It’s a special one. It’s a Super New “Black Moon”. Sounds impressive, right? Really the whole “Super” thing just means it’s close to the earth, and the “Black Moon” thing because it’s the third new moon between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. Who names this stuff? Anyway – magickally…

Microsoft Band – A Review
I occasionally like to review new technology and share with folks what someone who isn’t a tech blogger actually thinks about things. I’ve never been much for having a favorite “team”. My tech either works for me or it doesn’t. Also — I don’t get paid to review things. So here’s the thing — I actually USE my tech to help…

Why I Don’t Blog About Magick (But Probably Should)
Someone asked me again today why I don’t blog much about magick. Usually when I’m talking Daemonolatry on this blog or at the .org, I’m talking about the spiritual end of things, or The Great Work. Sometimes I talk technique or my view of a certain thing within magick. Very rarely do I delve into specific techniques or my own…
