An Unwanted Guest

During my last bout of sigil drawing, I designed a particular one to help me with a troubling issue at the time.  Unlike my journal icons, with which I made digital images to place on my blogs, I drew this one out by hand onto a piece of cardstock.  In July, when my husband and [...]

Magic as a Process

After my post last Monday on the seemingly short-lived effects of my magic, I received some pearls of wisdom that helped me to see things in a more sophisticated way.

Aleister Crowley

If the red string is to have effects, then perhaps I can remain [...]
