Update on energy work
I’ve been continuing to do the fusion of the five elements practice each day. I’ve been noticing both physical and energetic results. Tighter stomach, and more physical energy, and a sense of greater well-being, as well as more energy to work with. What I like about this technique is the emphasis on the integration of [...]
Some thoughts on genetic memory
I’ve been playing Assassin’s Creed 2 lately, and one of the elements of the game is the ability of the main character to access his ancestor’s genetic memories in order to learn skills from them. I think it’s an interesting idea. I don’t know how viable it is, if only because the genetic code will [...]
Sped Limt: A Case Study in Entity Evolution
I’ve always found it fascinating how chaos magicians will get rid of an entity when it evolves. We’re told that such an evolution is dangerous, because the entity will potentially get out of our control. I’ve never really agreed with that stance. Why go to all the trouble of creating an entity if you get [...]
Atheism and magic
I’ve noticed with some interest an increasing intersection of Atheism and magic. A number of magicians I know have mentioned they are atheists. I see some of this rise in Atheism as a result of the psychologizing of magic, wherein magical practices and results are explained from a psychological perspective. When such a perspective is [...]
Paratheatre Working with Elephant
Another working with Elephant tonight, using the paratheatre techniques I learned about. First I did stretches and exercises to get me warmed up and slipped out of mundane thinking, then transitional jogging to put me into a liminal space. As a side note, being so engaged in physical exertions was quite useful…it’s something I’ll be [...]
The E-book of Pop Culture Magick is now available
Immanion Press is slowly but surely publishing many of its book as e-books and this includes my own writing. Pop Culture Magick is now an e-book. You can go here for more information. I think the move to e-books is a good idea, though I’ll admit I’m too much a lover of books to really [...]
No matter where you are, there you are
This morning, ever time my mind started to wander or fantasize, Elephant would speak up and say, “You’re wandering.” And it happened a lot. When I think about it, it’s happened most of my life. I started fantasizing a lot when I was young. It was one of my defenses, one of my ways of [...]
“Forget Time to Find Yourself”
I’ve been reading Toward an Archaeology of the Soul by Antero Alli. I’ve met Antero once and we talked for about half an hour, and I’ve read his first book on the eight circuit model, but this work resonates with me a lot more, because in it, I see elements of my own practices and [...]
I paint to forget
I paint to forget sometimes, on a conscious level the desires, the wants, the needs, etc. I have. The paintings are sigils usually, though in someways I don’t really think of them as that so much as mindscapes, which allow me to express what’s going on in my mind and then let it go. I [...]
What problems does magic solve?
What problems does Magic solve? I’ve been thinking about this question for a long time, though perhaps not with that wording. Only recently has that wording come to me, in large part because my experiences as a business and social media coach has helped me recognize that pretty much everything a person does is motivated [...]
