Esoteric Book Convention day 2 and pictures
I’ve been meaning to post this all week, and finally got to it today. I did go to a presentation on Sunday: Brandy William’s talk on Chaldean Oracles. It was a really interesting talk and gave me quite a bit of appreciation for Brandy’s ability as speaker and presenter. The lighting on that picture isn’t [...]
Esoteric Book Convention pt. 1
I’ve taken some photos today, and will take more tomorrow and do a picture post. So far I’ve really been impressed by this convention. It’s one of the more occult leaning conventions I’ve been to and is focused primarily on scholarly presentations and occult books. I’ve liked the handbound work I’ve seen as well as [...]
Elemental Emptiness Month 11: The zero is about to hatch
8-20-09 It’s hitting me that in two months this working will end. I’m sort of surprised it’s such a short time away, because in a way I’ve felt like I’ve lived more than a year’s time with this working. And maybe in some ways I have. The metamorphosis I’ve been experiencing and still am experiencing [...]
Time Magic: Thiede
Today I painted the seal and sigil for Thiede. You might note in the painting the inclusion of an A, which is done purposefully to denote the alter ego of Thiede as Aghama. Thiede is the other guide for time. His purpose is to help a person understand concepts of space as they relate to [...]
Latest Episode of Magical Experiments Radio is up
The Latest episode is now available to listen to…and we got a caller. This episode focused on exploring why certain personalities are so prevalent in the occult community, while others are not as well as how that fame can impact the evolution of magic. I’ll be doing another episode in two weeks at 3pm PST [...]
Time Magic: Purson
When I got home on Sunday from Fall Eq, one of the first things I did was go back to my ritual room and get started on the next painting for the time magic ritual I’ll be doing in October. This time, the painting was for Purson, one of the Goetic Daimons of Time, and [...]
Northwest Fall Equinox Festival
This last weekend I went to the Northwest Fall Equinox festival sponsored by 9 Houses of Gaia. I had an amazing time there, and came away feeling that I’d attended a festival on the East Coast or Midwest, because the sense of community was similar to what I’d found at such festivals. More importantly, I [...]

Continual shifts in my philosophy of magic
My philosophy and overall approach to magic has shifted a lot in this last year in particular, but even in preceding years before this. It has become less about overt rituals and sigilization and other more visible techniques of magic and has moved into a quieter and more subtle practice, even as my studies and [...]
Time Magic: Work with Elephant
I’m prepping to switch from the Element of Emptiness to the Element of Time. My work with the element of Time will likely be quite different from that of the previous workings. I’m working with a lot of entities, and already have been given a diagram of sorts that shows the positioning of each entity. [...]
