Social Media Magic
I’m debating right now what my next book will be about, but I’ve already got some good ideas percolating. No it won’t be social media magic…though that could be the name of a chapter. Anyway, I’ve been playing around with my Facebook Timeline, adding some events to points in the past, mainly where I moved [...]
Self-Evocation 2011
Here’s my latest painting. It’s a self-Evocation painting. I do these occasionally and I use them to paint an internal landscape of my consciousness. This one is actually quite nice and feels much more peaceful compared to some of the other ones. A self-evocation is really a snapshot of time, a way to connect with [...]
Spatial Dynamics and Magic
Space is one of those elements that continues to fascinate me, especially when I look at how people use space to situate and express their own identity. I came to this perspective through the anthropological of Edward T. Hall and Alexander Laban’s perspectives on space and movement. The occupation of space whether with objects or [...]
Draining Possibilities
Typical approaches to space/time magic tend to focus on generating possibilities, or at least becoming aware of them. A different approach however can be found in the idea of draining or negating possibilities. In Space/Time Magic I explained that you could visualize multiple possibilities as balloons and then pop the ones you didn’t want, while [...]

Somewhere in Time
I watched the movie Somewhere in Time last night. It’s an interesting film because of the time travel aspect. In the film the protagonist travels back in time and to do this he hypnotizes himself to believe he is in the year 1912. To make this work, he has to remove everything from the room [...]

Zeroing Time
The first author who really introduced me to Space/Time Magic was William G. Gray. In his book Magical Ritual Methods he talks about the Zero exercise, where a person created three circles around him/herself and brought them into alignment with each other to create space/time point of zero possibilities, where nothing existed except the person [...]
Time Dilation Experiences
Time dilation is one of the experiences that’s always fascinated me. I suspect just about every person has experienced time dilation. Time dilation is the experience of time either slowing down or speeding up. For example, if you’ve done a magical ritual before and you’ve felt like hours passed when perhaps only a half hour [...]
