Life Imitating Art – I just read Weaving Fate by Aidan Watcher
Life Imitates Art. That’s what Oscar Wilde said. Its true enough that its become a common expression. I don’t think I know a single writer or artist who cannot name instances of this truth operating in their lives. Noticing the actions of unseen forces is actually at the heart of most great magic,. The only […]

Why did you get into magic? In talking about Pain as fuel for magic, V Jonathan Facile said “personally I suspect that anyone that’s fine with their reality isn’t going to be particularly motivated to dedicate hours daily to practice, a ton of income and other things to maintain the just fine reality, but maybe that’s […]

Back in 1998, my roommate had moved out a few months before our lease was up, leaving me with a completely empty room in the apartment. This was the first time that I had a completely dedicated room for magic, so of course, I laid out a circle on the floor, set up a triangle, […]

The authors I read and occult mentors I had were mostly of the hippie generation that fused a strong anti-materialism into their teachings. While I was writing books and doing magic I was also drifting from dead-end job to dead-end […]

The wait is over. Sorcery of Hekate Cycle 9 begins tomorrow. ” Far from being a cute little magic course to learn to cast spells and tell gods you love them, it is a tour de force of methodical personal evolution through the refinement of will, a call and a method for maturation into the bad ass […]
