Hot Temps Hiatus
Well, my dearest readers, it’s finally happened. I had a pretty bad bought of head exhaustion this month, and I’m still recovering from it even though it’s been a few weeks. The long story short is that I only have AC in one room in my home. Given that the heat is unlikely to break…

The Art of Plush Familiars
Hello again my dearest readers. Did you miss me? As it so happens, I forgot to post about my brief break last week—my apologies. While I am not quite a ‘holiday’ person aside from Halloween, there is one week of the year that I always take off entirely—and that is the week of Gen Con.…

Inheritance and Succession — Non-Blood Lineage
Oh, my Dearest Readers. Ya girl spent nearly a whole day at the art museum the other day, and saw some very delightful exhibits. During the process of observing a number of very lovely pieces, the topic of lineage and succession came up—but in the context of trades and art techniques. And it occurred to…

Shadow Work: The Price of Entitlement and Bigotry
We are on another Shadow Work topic this week, my dearest readers. At first, I was struggling to think up a topic that wasn’t too grim. And, well, this may also be grim. But, it also fell into my lap very early in the work week. No, I am not going to discuss the political…

The Cruelty of Life in Trouble Times, and the March of the Hours
I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that most of our community is deeply in grief right now, dearest readers. And one refrain I keep hearing a lot is ‘how can we keep on going when this is happening?’ Well, I have a always tried to keep my blog posts on topic. So I…

What is a Paradigm? Or: Why is Chaos Magic so Different than other Systems?
Good evening my dearest readers. This week, ya girl is doing something that she’s never done before—which is taking a whole week off from her day job in order to actually try to rest. With mixed results. But, that means I had some time to think about what this blog really needed in terms of…

Multitudes of Spirits, Unverified Personal Gnosis, and Respect
I hope you have been doing well, my dearest readers. Over here, it’s way too fucking hot. As some of you may know, I live in a home built in the 1870s, and therefore we have no central AC. Instead, we have a portable AC unit that stays in the room we sleep in, and…

A Startling Lack of Self-Awareness (MEEE?? A CHAOS MAGICIAN???)
Dearest Readers, I had assumed it would be at least half a year before I dolled out another ‘one free roast’ of me. And yet, here we are. Yes, this means that some of you who have been hoarding them up have a whole two free roasts in your back pocket. I know you’re saving…

Becoming, Shedding, and Embracing the Monster
Welcome back for another week and another blog, Dearest Readers. How have you all been? This week, I’d like to discuss something that has been a little difficult for me to grasp. Maybe talking with all of you will help me organize my thoughts. Recently, I have been having very interesting discussions with some of…

Wrath of the Furbinomicon Prop
Dearest readers, we have found ourselves here, in a situation where a joke I made may have finally gotten out of hand. You see, the idea of a Furby version of a scary, forbidden grimoire has amused me for a while. It amused me so much that I ended up making a sticker of it–much…
