Further discussions of definitions of magic
In psyche’s latest post on the definitions of magic, she attempts to use Crowley’s definition of magic to address arguments by a podcaster named Deo who had shared an essay on his podcast wherein he challenged the veracity of magic as a real force (Actually his essay is part of what started the initial post [...]
Hungry Ghosts
In Buddhism, there’s a concept about desire called the hungry ghost. The hungry ghost represents the extreme of desire, the suffering a person feels in desire, and an inability to satiate that desire. As some of you may know, I’ve been involved a lot of internal work for a few years now. Doing the internal [...]
0 and 1, all and none til something is done
I came across an intriguing question that asked, “What would there be, if there was nothing?” My answer is, “The potential for everything, waiting to be manifested into something” This answer boils down one of my approaches to magic and life into ten words.

Re-Thinking and Re-Making Babalon into a Wealth Deity
I’ve been spending some thinking about my relationship to Babalon, both in relationship to the Elemental Love working I’m doing and also in where she fits or doesn’t fit in the overall scheme of my life.

Pop Culture Magic Anthology
I’m editing an anthology on pop culture magic. It’s nearly finished, I’d say. It’s fascinating to read what other people have done or are doing with pop culture and magic.
