In preparing to write this segment, I pulled more than a dozen books off my bookshelves to see what THEY said about beginning energy work. The books, none aimed at adepts or masters or anything, ranged from Women’s Spirituality to Qabala to Ceremonial Magic and beyond, and since I couldn’t find my copy of The Spiral Dance yet I looked at the index of that one online.
I think I am going to be starting a semi-regular feature on my blog that highlights free online, tablet/phone and computer tools for organization and other things. I tried it once before on my old blog, but there really wasn’t any focus involved. Going to start from scratch.

Having addressed your mundane life in the last “Start Menu” post, let’s move on to another issue, focusing your mind/attention.
No magic here yet – it all comes down to practice!

So you want to get started in magic/Pagan spirituality/mysticism/whatever. Congratulations! But where do you start? I take a Maslovian view of this – that you start with the mundane.

Review: If you know me well, you’d know that the moment I see the word Fairy in any book title I tend to run away and hide. The only reason I actually read this book is because I knew the author was a great researcher and an honest writer who tells it like it is. Plus it was a fairly short read and I was curious about the subject matter.
Chaos Magic works very heavily with sigils. And one fun technique involves viral sigils: sigils copied and placed in public locations so that random people will activate them (without realizing it). The idea here is that you get a scattershot approach, and instead of one result from your spell you get numerous. This works well […]

I’d like to expand on a theme I’ve touched on before, over in http://fernsfronds.blogspot.com/2009/06/intimacy-with-gods.html .
I’m in a lot of Facebook Pagan groups. It could well be argued that I’m in too many Facebook Pagan groups. At any rate, I see recurring themes in all the groups, one taking place around spell-begging (asking strangers online for spells for X, Y, or Z, or even for ANY spells) the other around ‘how do I know what God/dess is my patron?”
(This was initially posted on my Tumblr blog, and is being cross-posted here with some slight adjustments.) So a while back I was rambling about magic-users and sensitives and whatnot. What I was going on about is that people who are sensitive to magic are people that occupy or work in the liminal spaces, the […]
Steven Posch has a brief article on what he calls witchsploitation. You know the genre. Wicker Man I (“the one without Nicholas Cage,” as a local movie marquee put it during the midnight Samhain run last year), To the Devil a Daughter…so many to choose from. Somewhere off in the sticks there are (bwa-ha-ha) still […]

So, we moved. Didn’t want to, but the house we were renting went on the market, and the real estate agent and the owner agreed it was best to show it without a tenet.
Okay.
We move into the new place. There’s a little trash in the garage, no big deal, I go to move it into the garbage can for pickup. But … uh oh …
