In my work, I focus on magic that requires training and practice. That is what I love to teach and what I love to share the most, but it takes a lot of time and effort and discipline. Not all spirit skills require discipline and training. Some are little tricks of perception that you can […]

Crazy week huh? No sermon, salve, or sorcery this week from me. Just a short thought experiment I want you to play. I want you to imagine a dating app that finds the one person in the world that is most like you. Every damn interest and vector you can think of. Going out on […]
