Sorcery is a Meritocracy
One of my favorite stories about the great Sorcerer Saint Milarepa was the time he was being questioned by his disciples about who his part incarnations were.

Spell Spread
When we work magic it spreads out under the ground of reality like a rhizome. It sends its shoots up in places that we cannot always predict. It also effects us, even if it is work that we are doing for others. Yes, you can take a bath, do a cleansing, banish the living fuck […]

Did you pre-order Elements of Spellcrafting on Kindle? If so you may need to check and see if your order is still valid.

I had several magical teachers at that point, and working through my blend of GD based stuff, Rootwork, and Husonian Witchcraft. I was aware of Crowley of Crowley of course, but […]
