The painful, but honest reality of it all is that there is no savior - no warrior upon a stallion that will bring about wholesale change. That is fantasy. We have only ourselves to make the changes that we want in the world and, to me, that is both a comforting and horrifying thought.

If you are ever at the point that you look at your magical tool box and just see a bunch of junk, do not feel down - You may have overexerted your spirit. Take time to recharge with what calls to you and soon enough your tools will take on their familiar glow.

I have scried and reached into the void and tried to feel the flow of the universe. For some reason, I walk away with a sense that what is happening now may be universal and darkly necessary. And I don’t want to believe that to be true.

🕯️Dearest spirits of light, love, and virtue - I call upon you today to wrap your arms around those whose strength has been sapped, and whose soul has withered. May you hold them with grace and may you comfort them with love and light. 🕯️

The low hanging sun has finally set and a new moon rises. Gather round the fire with those you love. Share tales of when the sun was high and the clouds were mere wisps upon the horizon. The sun will come again and it will shine and it will be warm. Stay safe until then.

On days where the future seems bleak and fear bleeds through your strongest of comforts, it never hurts to cast a spell of protection over you, your home, the folks & creatures you love.

One of the most delightful parts of life is being grateful for the smallest of things. Ate a delicious snack? Thank the universe for bringing you to it! Had a glance at a gorgeous bird? Praise the small wonders of the world!

For me, meditation was the key to truly unlocking and connecting with my spiritual side. I could read theory and attempt rituals and spells all day long, but meditation is what truly allowed me to understand and develop a “sixth” sense towards what lies beyond.

We need more radical optimism in the world. To be happy against all odds! To smile in the face of evil! There are creatures in this world, both human and inhuman, that seek to feed off of your fear. If you’re afraid of what’s to come, you are already on their plate.

Have you ever dealt with or encountered a water spirit in your home or property? I’d love to hear your thoughts. How did they manifest? What did you do about them, if anything?

Be mindful of your pessimism on New Year’s Day. The fates are listening & watching - deciding which path to start you down. Brooding & rumination can be interpreted as wishes & prayers by spirits seeking to guide you on your way.

For all of those that are cooking with magical intention this holiday, please remember that it can take a lot of spiritual energy out of you. Take your time, take breaks, and rest your spirit when possible.

One sickness of the soul that I see often is the sickness of personal pride. While self-sufficiency is an important aspect to possess, knowing when to accept help, even the smallest of gestures, is just as important.

This full moon, for whatever reason, has left a sense of importance within my spirit - it feels like a demarcation of…something.

So many ancient texts urge the wizard to do good works: acts of charity and self sacrifice. You see this the world over. To be a good wizard, one has to be a good human. Be a good human.

In moments of high strangeness, it is less important to find the truth of the event and more important to understand how it made you feel.

What do I think of the Drones over New Jersey? I say we all collectively work to summon the Jersey Devil to go up and fight them for us. What good are cryptids if we cannot use them to protect our planet from alien invaders?

⭕️ - I lay my circle here. I bless it with salt and herb for protection, strength, and peace.

Only spirits of good and light may come close. All spirits of darkness, evil, and inbetween are unwelcome. May only spirits of good and light that I give permission enter.

So may it be. 🕯️
