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.
Out and about this evening. Dinner plans with family, and then a bit of shopping. Dare say that The supermarket will be wall to wall Christmas crap, though I do like a spiced apple pie candle and will definitely be looking for one. Or five. Other than that, writing again when I get home. #BusyBusy.

#Forteans have a reputation for being a little on the sour side, and this post of mine from last year is no exception. That said, it is the damned facts that led me to wonder why we are stuck in a time loop. One for #ForteanFriday and #ForteanSky for sure.

Lost In Stagnation
By far the most important obituary of the last decade, at least from the point of view of the Fortean community, was that of Art Bell. A true giant of the industry with as many fans as detractors, …

Right #WitchSky, #OccultSky, #PaganSky and #DruidSky. It's #FollowFriday. This is my usual post for the week to help you all find your tribe. So Like this post, share it if you want, and reply with who you are and what #magick you do. Then follow those who do that tickle your brain. #Simple.

Well I missed #TechnoPaganTuesday this week, but here's my entry anyway. Found this pretty listenable #BBCRadio version of #Neuromancer a while back, and while I tend to be wary of #RadioPlay adaptations, due to what they cut out, this 2003 attempt is not bad at all.

Ugh. Unusually busy in the real world at the moment, put most of my more creative projects on hold for a few days to compensate. Not halted everything outright though, so don't worry. Almost finished the prep work for the #SigilBomb going ahead on here just before #Yule, and Once I set up .. (1/2)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
