31 Days Of Witchcraft

I got another one of these things from Tumblr, and I decided to go ahead with it. It’s going to keep me writing, and I need to do that since I’ve spend a bit too much time processing lately. Here’s the newest list of questions I pilfered. I think I’ll start a “Questions” tag for […]

Witchcraft Days 28-30

Day 28: Favorite spell you found/wrote/used. I don’t know how much this counts as a spell, but it’s the coolest thing I’ve done. A friend of mine had a brother who was being deployed to Iraq. She did not want him to die. So she asked me to help out. I turned a ring he […]

Witchcraft Days 25-27

Day 25: Do you write your own spells? I don’t know that I “write” spells. I suppose I “develop” them. Or “code” them. My go-to method for spellcasting is sigil magic. So having long, written out spells is not something I do much anymore. But yes, I make my own. Because most of them are […]

Witchcraft Days 21-24

Day 21: Have you used or considered using pop-culture in your practice? Yes. All the time. Avatar: the Last Airbender has greatly enhanced my understanding of the elements. I use a lot of imagery from Final Fantasy games in my magic, especially in my journeywork. Some from the Legend of Zelda, but not as much. […]

Witchcraft Days 18-20

Day 18: What has been the most resourceful place to look for improving your witchcraft? Cartoons and video games. Often they have perspectives on their reality that makes you question how things work in the world, and how energies work together. And of course, the internet. It allows me access to all manner of resources […]

Witchcraft Days 14-17

Day 14: Do you use any items or tools that can be found around the household? I can use pretty much anything I need to as a tool for magic. That said, I generally prefer to use my dedicated tools instead of household items. I don’t want to mess with other people’s residue on what […]

Witchcraft Days 11-13

Day 11: Do you work with Sun/Moon/Rising signs? Why or why not? “Work with”? Work with how? I do astrology. And if I’m doing ceremonial magic I’ll do it in the right planetary hour. I don’t know how else to “work with” them. Except to impress the hell out of people. Here’s how I guess […]

Witchcraft Days 8-10

Day 8: Does your family and/or friends know you practice witchcraft? Most of them do. Of course, most of my friends are practitioners. Most of the friends who don’t know are “work friends.” It’s just not something that comes up at work. If someone asked me what religion I was I’d probably tell them. (except for…

Witchcraft Days 5-7

Day 5: How do you see/define magic? Do you use magic? I see magic as the process of using consciousness to change the direction you are moving in time. In effect, it amounts to changing probabilities. My understanding of time, probability, and magic has been heavily influenced by Pete Carroll. Day 6: Do you practice […]
