Why Immanion Press is so Important to me
I don’t write much about the work I do with Immanion Press on this blog. Indeed, as far as many of you know, I’m just one of its authors. But the truth is I’m not just an author of Immanion Press. I’m also the Managing Non-Fiction editor of Immanion Press. (Cue in the jokes about [...]
Answers to Questions of the Week 1-10-13
Each week I ask people to share with me questions they have about magic. I then answer those questions in my blog. The first question that was asked was: Have you ever practice some Draconian magic?

Self-secret language and patterns of reality
In Darwin’s Pharmacy, the author points out the following: “I want to suggest that trip reports are fundamentally scripts, what I have called elsewhere rhetorical software: linguistic, visual, musical, and narrative sequences whose function resides less in their “meaning” than in their capacity to be repeated and help generate patterns of response.

Some further Thoughts on Shielding
Recently Mike made a post on his blog mentioning my post on shields, and there was some interesting commentary that occurred as a result about whether shields were really effective or not. Several people argued that while shielding protected you it also didn’t allow you to interact with the world as effectively. Ananeal argued that: [...]
