They say the third time's a charm. In this case, literally. Specifically, a third type of magic that is tied to specific deities from my pantheon. Shao-Kehn's magick has always been red-orange, like flames, and sometimes silver like metal. The magick of Ayil'Kwahl'Ah'Gorah, Deity of Computers, electronics, and the Internet, is a whitish silver, ( Read more... )

Computers are like magic. Seriously! A witch or wizard slaves away for days, even weeks or months, writing arcane symbols in a specific sequence to create a servitor to do a specific task or set of related tasks, including using a servitor to make the process of writing and printing easier, or servitors specifically designed to make other servitors ( Read more... )

In my mind's eye, I wrapped my roomie's image, as she stood there before me, in Djao-Kain's Chaos Fire and protective tentacles of flaming-hot barbed wire and razor wire, and surrounded her in a ball of outward-pointing metal spikes. Then a burning ember of Djao-Kain's power lodged itself in my roomie's body just to the side of her heart, and I ( Read more... )

Something interesting to note, about me: For some reason, there are things in my store of food that never seem to go bad, even when they should. Tortillas, as long as they're kept in their plastic containers, can sit in my apartment for months and months yet still be good. (I don't mean "never opened" and still good, I mean "opened, tortillas ( Read more... )

For those of you who don't know already, I am an empath. I can feel people's emotions. I may not always understand their causes, but I feel the emotions, even when I don't know somebody is in the room, I can feel their emotions ( Read more... )

I was reading part of Peter J. Carroll's "Liber Kaos" book the other day, in the part about color magick, and specifically about "octarine," an idea he got from Terry Pratchett, which he defines as being a person's personal color of magick which has the essence of the magick of the colors it's made of, then described his own. I thought about what ( Read more... )

There's more than one way to hog-tie a rhinoceros, as I am saying just now. Anyway, the reason I say that is, don't go believing you have to chant and smudge sage in a new home to cleanse it. I cleansed the new apartment of negative energy simply by powering up my Shao'Kehn fire, seeing myself in my inner eye as having chaos fire coming from my ( Read more... )

It got really fucking cold the other day. And it was so windy, the power was flickering for awhile. I had to go out in that cold, and I wasn't quite dressed warm enough. When I finally got back, I went to my room to do a ritual to call back the sun ( Read more... )

It used to be, back in Iowa, that whenever I did a ritual or other magick, it would rain. Which was no coincidence because Iowa air hoards water like a miser hoards money. So it was like the magick shook loose the water into rain ( Read more... )

I like having things to say to start rituals, like calling the elements and directions to cast the sphere. (I use 9 elements/directions and cast a sphere rather than a circle.) But I keep forgetting them, or having to read from a paper, and then messing up even when it's on the paper ( Read more... )
