A few weeks back I encountered a young practitioner who told me I was a gatekeeper, that I was doing Daemonolatry wrong because I wasn’t making it accessible enough, and was turning it into something dogmatic. I’ll admit I was confused, because my mantra has always been that books aren’t gospel. They’re collections of ideas, […]
Magickal Timing: The Elemental Rhythm of Mercury Retrogrades

Working Through Transitions
Transitions have a way of shaking things up. Even when the change is something you chose, there’s still that strange (or even unsettling) in‑between space where your routines feel unfamiliar and your magical practice doesn’t sit the way it usually does. I’ve been in one of those periods myself, and I’ve noticed how easy it […]

Every few weeks, someone reaches out wanting the same thing: a fast, simple ritual that will “make them a medium” so they can casually chat with the Daemonic with the same ease as someone who has been practicing for years. The phrasing changes, but the desire is identical. They want a moment of ignition, a […]
