Cross-posted from my personal site. As stated in last month’s post about meditation, people often misunderstand my position on things because they may have only read a single book or two of mine. To fully understand my positions, however, it is often necessary to read my entire body of work. Just because I don’t beat something […]
Jump into the Abyss and learn to communicate and path work with the Daemonic Divine through ascension practice. In Lake of Fire: A Daemonolater’s Guide to Ascension, Daemonolatress S. Connolly discusses the practice of ascension in theory and technique. Included are ascension formulas, meditations, astral work, dream work, and fear facing rituals meant to help […]
Today I wanted to talk a little bit about the importance of doing regular magical work. I’ve blogged about this before. Author and personal close friend of mine, Andrieh Vitimus, is starting up his new site this month (February) called Do Magick. For those of you who remember the Magickal 30 that he used to […]
This week I worked with Foras, a demon who can teach us how to strengthen our minds as well as our bodies. And who wouldn’t want that? Me, apparently—or so I thought. Despite my best intentions and several attempts, I couldn’t connect with him at all. There are many reasons why my invocations might have […]
[This post is cross-posted from www.s-connolly.com] Okay, so I’m sure there are more than six reasons that a Daemonic invocation could fail (in the manifestation department, both literally and figuratively). There could be any number of reasons based on the exact circumstances of said invocation/evocation (pick your poison). But I’ve found there are six very […]
DB Publishing & Official Melissa have some fantastic offerings for you in the coming year. If you missed any of 2016’s offerings, check out the Daemonolater’s Guide series. Seven (so far) small guides with big results! Then there was the Book of Agares: A Manifestation Grimoire . In 2017, expect a few more Daemonolater’s Guides, as […]
How would you describe 2016? It’s been so bad for some of my friends that they want to stay up until midnight tonight just to watch the old year die. I’m always up for a decent death bed vigil too, but I’m also a horror writer. I’m tempted to cut off its head and drive […]
Pagans of all kinds set lofty goals at this time of year. Some will aim for the stars and end up with a handful of glitter instead. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. Despite what Master Yoda says, there’s value in effort alone. A magician who screws up a ritual is far more powerful than […]
I have just logged on after many a year. Read some of my own posts. I must have been useful and quite clever in my past. Back in 2011 I mentioned panic attacks. Still suffer from them. Sometimes, personal demons are very hard to beat. Sometimes life can be very hard work, and quitting the […]
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 […]
