Resistance and internal work
I’ve been reading the War of Art (affiliate link) lately and the author talks a great deal about resistance as an enemy to creativity. I think he’s right, to a point.

Elemental Balancing Ritual Fire Month 2
11-27-11 Something which has always frightened me has been my own fire. It’s frightened me, in part because of the various people in my life who at one time or another told me I was too passionate, too intense, or just plain too much.

Change starts from within
“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing themselves” Leo Tolstoy When I think about Western Magic, and one of my problems, this statement from Tolstoy sums it up nicely.

Why its not a good idea to destroy part of yourself

Some experiments I’m working on
I’m currently working on some different experiments. Some of these are in concept phase, while others are being developed as practical applications. All of them represent ongoing work I’m involved in. 1. Neurotransmitter work: I’ve been working with neurotransmitters as entities for over 7 years now. The current work I’m doing has involved working with [...]
Aligning your values with your desires
Over the last six or so years, some of the most significant magical work I’ve done has involved doing internal work to align my desires with my values. You might think that this would be automatic, but I don’t think that’s the case all the time. The challenge of the magician is to know him/herself [...]
The Microbot approach to sickness
I’ve been sick lately, a weird kind of flu where my temperature has gone below the usual temp. It’s not a fever, but the result is I still feel sick. Never being a person to turn aside opportunity, I’ve been working on a technique to deal with illness that I’ve been using for a little [...]
