10 Ways to be Successful: Hacking It
I thought I would throw out some of my thoughts today about how you become good at something, and how you become successful with it, because I’m not sure everyone out there understands this. I often get a lot of email from people wanting to become good at magick, or writing, or some other skill, but they don’t know how…

December #DoMagick Talismans: The Plan
Yes, I am doing the December #DoMagick challenge! YAY. Talismans galore! I’m also embarking on the two month Artist’s Way Workshop with a few writing friends, so I thought why not find ways to combine the two events into various talismans? So then I thought — ART! I am going to draw, paint, or sculpt a new Talisman every day…

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…

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 Five: Meditation Challenge #DoMagick
This morning I enjoyed a nice, quiet, forty minute meditation before starting my day. But I also woke up in a crappy mood, a carryover from yesterday, which carried over from when I reconfigured my Sorath model on Sunday. So after today’s meditation, I reconfigured the model yet again. My bad mood dissipated within 45 minutes. It’s amazing how magick…

How I Screwed Up #DoMagick & A Project
So September was a shitty month for #DoMagick. I just had too many things going on to make the blogging end of things happen. Numerous events also derailed my yoga practice a few days here and there, thus breaking that chain of “daily” practice. Had I been smart, I would have just done meditation (though that would have been cheating). …

Day Two: Rushed Morning #DoMagick
I felt a little rushed this morning because I had a book release and an online event to oversee (among other things), so admittedly I moved through the sequence a little faster today and did around 14 minutes instead of twenty, with only five repetitions instead of nine. It did help to curb my anxiety. That said, the Sorath model is…

Day 18: On Top of It! #DoMagick
Today is the second day of the month that I actually have felt on top of things. I finished up six readings before 4 pm, which is almost unheard of for me. This is good because it gave me time to complete some tablets, spend some quality time with my Sorath model, get some laundry done, and deal with some…

Day 17: More Promo Events and Edits #DoMagick
Whoever said slow and steady wins the race certainly didn’t suffer from impatience. I suppose that’s a symptom of our instant gratification society. Long gone are the days of having to wait until your media store has something on the shelf. You can just go online, buy it, download, and have whatever media you want in a matter of minutes.…

Day 13 – Duh! #DoMagick
Remember this? Guess what this dumb shit forgot to incorporate into the base foundation of the Sorath model? Uh huh. It’s fixed now (fixed it last night before meditation), but I’m still leaving the model unassembled until the 20th. In the meantime, hopefully the cats won’t climb on the altar and say, “Oooh! Hooman left us toys!” Cute furry little…
