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…

Magic With Me: Clow Sorcery Part Six
Welcome back my Dear Readers, We’re taking a break from our regularly scheduled Nonsense to get back on some of the Clow Sorcery Series. It’s been a while, hasn’t it?

Magic With Me : Clow Sorcery Part Five
Goodness gracious. The Clow Cards never cease to surprise me with what they want. It’s been a while since I included a journal entry about my Clow Sorcery journey on here. How fitting is it that I am eagerly awaiting the first signs of spring and I am writing about The Earthy card? As per…

Magic in Media: Ojomajo Do-Re-Mi
Recently, someone asked me to do a paradigm breakdown of the super niche anime Ojomajo Do-Re-Mi. I never actually finished this series, and it’s been years since I watched it. I have been making an effort to get far enough into the show in order to write a representative paradigm breakdown, but felt compelled to…

Paradigm Breakdown: The Owl House
My partner recently started and then binged the entirety of The Owl House within maybe three or four days. I realized I hadn’t written a Paradigm Breakdown for The Owl House, despite how much I love it. I had to do a little refresher on some of this lore. But I think I have the…

Magic With Me: Clow Sorcery Part Three
Those of you who have been following along with my Magic With Me Series might have been thinking ‘holy shit, when is this lady going to make some progress?’ Well, the answer to that is a bit complicated. As you may have surmised, I am still working on my Quest for The Maze. But, at…

The Raven Queen
I couldn’t help but think a lot of the Raven Queen this week. One of my beloved quail passed, and I hoped the entire time that she would easily find her way to wherever she was going, and that it was as peaceful of a death as possible. My own history with the Raven Queen…
