Using the dual Deck system for enchantments
While I find using Tarot for divination useful, I typically use it for enchantment purposes. My latest experiment with the dual deck system involved doing an enchantment for a specific situation. If you go to the Facebook page for magical experiments, you can see a picture of the latest dual deck working, which is the [...]
Further experimentation with two tarot decks
I’ve been continuing to experiment with two tarot decks and have found each reading to be useful. The primary deck is what I would call node cards. They represent specific people, events, issues, etc. The secondary deck is the connector cards and represent what connects the node cards to each as well as influences acting [...]
Does magic still have a role in Paganism?
I’ve never really identified myself as a Pagan. I think of myself as an occultist, when it comes to my spirituality, and I’d have to say that what primarily defines my spirituality is my practice of magic. To my perspective and experience with Pagans, there’s been a tendency to treat magic as a religious practice. [...]
Making an offering
When I was eighteen I made an offering to the elemental spirits and every so often I make offerings to different spirits I work with. Sometimes the offering is an exchange of one service for another, but sometimes its just to make an offering, with no strings attached. The reason I make the offerings is [...]
How I like experimental magic to other people’s practices
Recently when I taught a class on Space at Pantheacon, one of the issues I had to address was how my focus on space could actually be converted to other people’s more traditional practices of magic. I’ll be the first to admit I’m not a traditional magician by any means, although I am well versed [...]
My model of space time magic

Some of the inspiration for this model is derived from Oryelle’s book a Brief Hirstory of Time and some of it is derived from [...]
What’s missing from academic inquiries into magic
I’m currently reading A Cognitive Theory of Magic (affiliate link) by Jesper Sorenson and the Anthropology of Magic (affiliate link) by Susan Greenwood. So far, they are fascinating reads, but in looking over their bibliography I find myself annoyed because in their effort to comment on magic the only sources they have pulled from are [...]
Bune update
My latest Bune update: I’m definitely getting more business opportunities than I was getting before. While some of this is due to my own efforts, I’ve also had several situations occur last minute that I’ve attributed to Bune’s influence. Those last minute opportunities have also lead to some future business opportunities that look promising. What [...]
Weather magic on a dial
When Kat and I were driving back from Bend recently we both focused on doing a bit of weather magic to help us get through Mt. Hood before the weather got cold enough to turn rain into sleet or snow, and wet roads into ice. I made an observation to Kat that it’d be interesting [...]
