Did you catch this season’s American Horror Story? I’m not sure Roanoke flowed as well as the show’s previous years, but I blame poor writing over a faulty premise. I think films based on “true stories” can work even if the audience doesn’t believe the events portrayed in the movie occurred at all—but only if […]

Be the Hero Halloween Deserves
Witches love a good banishing. As a magician and horror writer, exorcisms fascinate me. Whenever I watch priests battle the Antichrist, I cheer for the men in collars even while I cringe at every negative stereotype those films reinforce about daemons, daemon-worshippers, and Paganism in general. I don’t need a Catholic priest—or any priest—to rescue […]
Dare We Question Our Faith?
Late last month, I attended an interfaith festival in my city where I ran a table on Daemonolatry. Although the organizers encouraged visitors to step outside their comfort zones and talk to people who might challenge their religious views, I’d estimate that less than ten people asked me anything about Daemonolatry at all. Far more […]
Let’s Be Terrible For a Moment…
One of my oldest friends has a two-year-old daughter. She’s made of sunshine and giggles, but she bursts into tears whenever a stranger pops their head in the front door. Since few people are stranger than I am, and since my schedule keeps me from visiting as often as I would like, I remain terrifying […]

Something isn’t right
Firstly, many apologies for posting anything for a long while. There have been issues, some linked to the background of this post. I hope to be more active this year. Where to begin ? Back in 2004 I was presenting at an Einstein Physics Conference up at the University of Warwick. During the day, we […]
Daemonolater’s Guide to Daemonolatry Groups
The Daemonolater’s Guide to Daemonolatry Groups offers wisdom and advice about finding a Daemonolatry group, group dynamics, leading a group, and leaving a group. Also included is a questionnaire about assessing one’s calling to the priesthood, information about Daemonolatry Denominations, as well as other information useful to group leaders or those considering starting their own […]
Great Old Ones
I haven’t posted for a long time, so I do apologise for this. The pressures of modern life have a nasty habit of getting in the way. I study the climate, and have been particularly interested in the Vostok Ice Core Data. This data clearly shows distinct glacial periods, lasting around 80-100000 years, interspaced with […]
Never be afraid to try something new
I always feel uncomfortable posting after there have been announcements, but I think this is for a good cause. I want to share something interesting for once. Maybe. On the 19th I had quite a bit on my mind so this post is a bit late. Since 2012 the matriarchs in my family have been […]
Embracing your emotions
I had an interesting conversation with a bright Pagan girl yesterday. To be honest I knew very little (and still know very little) about her path, but I kept an open mind and learned something awesome. We were sort of comparing notes and the following quote really stuck out: “We need to embrace every color […]
