I was asked recently why I still #Blog about the kind of topics that #WitchSky, #OccultSky and #ChaosSky are interested in when the internet has moved on to a short form video format. My answer is simple. I do not create to chase trends, and my audience at theacceleratedchaote.com like to read.
Was going back through my old #Sigil storage earlier today looking for ideas for my upcoming #SigilBomb, #WitchSky, and I don't think I ever shared this one. The idea was interconnectedness leading to acquisition, group effort towards a common goal. And so I went with a recurring woven motif.

Well here we are again. For the third and final time in 2025 we've hit #MercuryRetrograde, so best to avoid hasty decisions and feeding into misunderstandings. Technology will be a bitch until the 29th, and other people will be way more annoying to be around. #KeepCalm and #Hex wisely, #WitchSky.

Growing older I find myself walking ever deeper into nihilism. This invasive, but perhaps warranted, negativity even colours my views on certain sacred cows in #Witchcraft and #Magick. Should you wish to follow me fall then this new #Blog article is for you.

Follow Me Fall
I am always melancholy around my birthday. Perhaps it comes from edging ever closer to fifty, but my thoughts inevitably turn sour as October rolls around. This year I am doubly troubled as slivers…

So here we are again, #WitchSky, officially announcing my next #BlueSky #SigilBomb. That's right, #ProjektLunarSigil will be running on here the week running up to #Yule. Full instructions going live December 1st, so you will have plenty of time to prepare ahead of the 14th when the working starts.
November 7, 2025 at 2:19 PM
So, updates then. Finally over the food poisoning and on the mend. Prep work for my upcoming Yule sigil bomb is underway, creating the digital fliers and such between other projects. Takes time, as I want them to look professional, but worth the effort. Will be formally dropping the first ... (1/2)

That's #Halloween then, #WitchSky. Burning off yesterday's ritual ingredients over charcoal and yes I will be doing a minor observance for astronomical #Samhain next week too. But today is all about Nos Calan Gaeaf, a winter's eve celebration from my adopted Welsh home.

Noson Galan Gaeaf, which means ‘Winter’s Eve’, is an Ysbrydnos or ‘Spirit Night’, a time when spirits can roam the world of the living.

Well it took eight months or so, #ValentinesDay to #Halloween, but we finally finished the entire run of #Supernatural tonight. So fifteen seasons, back to back. Kinda sad to see it off the watch list, but I think it's still a great achievement, especially as I tend to abandon shows all the time.

Morning #WitchSky, #OccultSky, #PaganSky, #ParanormalSky, #FolkloreSky and #ForteanSky. Happy #Samhain for those who do, and #Halloween for those who don't. Stay spooky out there people, and safe.

Mixing up #FolkloreTursday and #PhantomsFriday with a little slice of #ForteanSky then. One of my older published articles, this one highlights the purely mundane dangers of ghost hunting, with examples. Stay safe out there this #Halloween, Gravehounds.

Almost at the end of the road now, #ParanormalSky. Day 30 of my 31 days of classic ghost documentaries for #Halloween this year, and it's a solid one from way back in 1996. The other 29 are all on my BlueSky timeline, one a day, if you fancy digging through them all.

So #Halloween Eve then today, #WitchSky. Any set plans for #Samhain? I'm currently laying down a baseline atmosphere with roasted garlic and frankincense resin toasting away on an electric wax melt burner, before various micro rituals and observances tomorrow. What about you? Care to share?

Day 29 of my 31 ghost documentaries for #Halloween this year and it's time to head to the pub. Richard Felix again, on fine form (and possibly a little drunk at times) here as he travels the length and breadth of the UK in search of spirits. Pun intended, of course.

Day 28 of my 31 days of ghost documentaries for #Halloween and this one is surprisingly well put together. It even has Arthur C. Clarke on board, the influential Sci-fi author who is more well known in Fortean circles for his own TV series on the strange and unusual.

It's #MagickMonday, and here's some love for my fellow #VoidPunk anomalies. This deeply personal article from 2022 explores where Chaos Magick and that more recent online aesthetic intersect, as well as why they suit each other so well. Keep it #Weird, I say.

New section at my author portfolio website in time for #Halloween. Something delightfully necromantic with a light biographical edge. Always going to be work in progress, but worth keeping an eye on for sure, #WitchSky, #PaganSky, #OccultSky and #ForteanSky.

Final week of my 31 days of classic ghost documentaries for #Halloween then, #ParanormalSky and it's time for something oddly disquieting. Not sure if it's the low budget format, or the strange Satanic Panic VHS feel to the presentation. But here's day 27 either way.

Day 26 of my 31 classic ghost documentaries for #Halloween and this one gives me a chance to show some love for my adopted home. Wales is a truly great nation, history in every step, and yes it also has a spooky side too if you know where to look.

So, updates. Looks like my recent Wild Hunt article discussing old witchy documentaries from the point of view of pop culture hauntology has gone down surprisingly well. And I do mean surprisingly, as I've always been a divisive figure in the Pagan community. Pull few punches, say it as it ... (1/2)

For those on #PaganSky, #WitchSky and #DruidSky who missed the post last night, my latest article is now live at #WildHunt. It applies the concept of #Hauntology to classic #Occult media while exploring some of the more (in)famous titles. And pulls no punches.

So my 31 days of classic ghost documentaries is drawing to a close next week, on #Halloween. This is something a little different for day 25, #ParanormalSky, Ghost to Ghost AM with Art Bell originally from 1993. A feast for the ears if not the eyes, even with the hum.

Here we go then #PaganSky, #WitchSky and #DruidSky. As previously mentioned, I submitted an article to a well known #Pagan website a little while ago. Well I can now announce that it has gone live at #WildHunt. Someone say hauntology in classic #Occult media? Oh yes.

Time to get spooky then, #ParanormalSky. Day 24 of my 31 days of classic ghost documentaries and it's time for New England to shine. Love the #GlitchArt vibe to these old VHS rips, and this 2002 slice of ghoulish travel is no exception.

Something a little more imperial for day 23 of my 31 classic ghost documentaries for #Halloween then, #ParanormalSky. Castles are a mainstay of the UK landscape and this look into their haunted history, hosted by actor Robert Hardy, is so delightfully twee.
