Hey friends! I kinda…forgot this app existed.
But you might be down to submit an article in my new magazine, “The Magic Mirror”!
Lots of blah blah but a print-only publication for magicians about magic — a walled forum as it were.
Meetings Saturday is optional!

I didn’t expect to use vampires as a mythic example of how to use your mind as a protective barrier but like, actually a fantastic example?
How funny to be critiquing Fortune’s theories while returning to the same examples — it’s not about proving our predecessors wrong, but building on their work.

My favorite part about my approach to magic is that it blows folks away.
I feel like a hack often — but then I actually USE magic with people and their whole world is shaken up. I forget for all the studying and talking, so few actually DO magic.

Part of why I think autistic people do well with magic is because it rewards the strict, absolutist logic that comes with the brain setup.
It’s literally easier for me to hold my own views and beliefs above other people’s or the norm.

Many students are arriving at college unprepared to read entire books, Rose Horowitch writes. But one possible cause is a change in values, not ability.

First of the two protection classes this winter starts with the key basics: wards, barriers, and sentries!
We’ll be focused on using chess strategies and tricks to build a complete self-defense ecosystem.

One of the best parts of living in this era is the absolute glut of spiritual readers:
You can find pretty much anything you’re looking for — there’s dangers in that, but I quite enjoy the wider array of magicians that might yet be.

In the natal chart, very interested in people’s experiences with twilight.
Doing a consult today that has their Sun just beneath the horizon and their sect light is buried in the 2nd.
Rare case of the Sun being dominant in a night chart by virtue of Illumination — I prioritize the visible light.

I just got screwed out of a $300 wedding gig refusing to pay me 2 weeks before the event. I need this to pay for my medically necessary medication I have to take every 7 days. Anything helps and I’m doing readings or cute drawings for $$ #mutualaid

“Surround yourself in a veil of white light” sorts of magical protections are incredibly inefficient.
I wondered why they were so popular still — the idea is absurd if you think about it.
1) you already have a veil to reinforce — it’s your soul
2) you’re creating neutral energy for no reason

Today I made a fun table comparing the retrograde periods of the planets. The original goal was to help someone who was worried about having Saturn retrograde in their birth chart, by showing just how common it is. Sharing it here because I spent an inordinate amount of time making it!

Saturn: “The reward was that nothing got worse despite you trying hard! It could get worse — should I make it worse so you see the course of events as a reward?”
I think that the “rewards” from malefic planets (wisdom or courage for ex.) tend to not feel very rewarding because of what one had to endure to get there
