New Release: LARVA – The Book of Transformation
My co-author, Ene, and I offer up our latest collection of spells and formulas, brought together from the grimoires of multiple practitioners (including ourselves). Some of the workings are more serious (like the Leviathan Key), others are things you didn’t even know you needed (like the enchanted to-do-list), but overall a fun and fascinating collection of the more folk-magick-y aspect…

Focus Meditation Schedule #DoMagick
So I am not creating all original content to teach everyone the techniques. However, each day I will link to resources, or an example that readers can follow or use, to help those new to the practice learn. I start tomorrow! Listen to Drumming or chants. Color a Mandala – 1 Yoga Session (A Flow Sequence for Mindfulness) Walking Meditation…

February’s #DoMagick Challenge – Focus Meditation!
As I mention in this months newsletter – the start of a new year is the perfect time to recommit to having a daily practice, whatever that practice may be. Meditation is one of the more beneficial daily practices because it helps in every aspect of a person’s life – from increasing focus, to decreasing stress. For magicians, meditation is…

Summoning 2 – The Resistance #DoMagick
I am resisting myself. I did about 900 words yesterday and about 200 today. These are low numbers for me. I know the blog posts do suck up some of my writing time. I blame the allergy triggered migraine brought on by my nasal allergies. I was able to shake it, but the meds leave me feeling foggy and tired.…

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…

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…

Days 27-30: In Conclusion #DoMagick
I spent a great deal of time in reflection the past few days. The daily cleansings are still happening – 30-45 minutes of shedding all negativity and care, and sending them barreling over my obstacles. This month’s #DoMagick exercises done: A 30-45 minute cleansing meditations each day (for 30 days straight). It relied on visualizing removing negativity from me, blocking…

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 Four: Dude, Where’s My WTF? #DoMagick
I’m thinking I should stop doing my nightly meditation work in the bedroom. It seems to affect the energy of the room in a way that makes both the exceptional spouse and the furry roommates restless. Which is why I did not sleep well last night. Between cats bolting in and out of the bedroom and spouse shifting and waking…

Day Three: Manifestation #DoMagick
The cards from yesterday were right. I did not have an opportunity to work on editing (i.e. my happy work that I’m gathering energy for to use to do things I have to do) last night. Family time took precedence. So I did a full cleansing before bed and didn’t do the alchemizing work today. I knew, almost instinctively that…
