The Wii and magic
We got a Wii recently and already it’s sparked some thoughts on how it could be used for magic. While I enjoy the ability to play retro games, by far what I enjoy the most is using the wii mote. I’ve been fooling around some on the wii sports and something which stood out to [...]
Why are you doing this love work?
I was asked recently why I was doing the year of love work, the year long dedication to the element of love. What did I hope to get out of it, what was I aiming for and why Babalon as opposed to Aphrodite or another love type goddess? I don’t really have any set expectation [...]

Review of Green Hermeticism: Alchemy and Ecology
I found this book to be more of an intellectual/theoretical approach to Hermeticism and the green/environmental aspects of it, as opposed to a practical manual that offered thoughts on how to blend sustainability with hermetic practices. In reading most of this book and the essays in it, I’m left with the thought that it seems [...]
Methods for organizing your mind
