Last year, I was told a big change was coming. I panicked initially, but then realized I wanted the change. Nonetheless, I found myself in limbo, waiting. Unable to do anything or make a single move until circumstances outside my control told me where my life was heading. I grew complacent in that state of […]

The Basics of Necromancy
What is Necromancy? Necromancy is the art of communicating with the dead – either to summon their spirit or raise them bodily – in order to gain information usually. It is often associated with black magic and evil, but this is not the case. Necromancy has been practiced throughout history and across cultures for a […]
Honouring the Death Current
We are less than a week away from Samhain and the Rite to Eury and everywhere we look we can spot pumpkins, ghosts, and assorted other decorations. The week leading up to Halloween can be filled with meaningful ways of honouring the Death current so that we build the energy all week long, rather than […]
The Fine Art of Discernment
In our FB group, I made a post about discernment that I thought would also be useful here. It has been modified to include some important discussion points that ensued. One of the WORST possible pieces of advice circulating among the online occulture of self-styled modern Daemonolaters is, “Just ask the Daemons!” Even I’ve been […]
Honoring the Death Daemonic Through November
Celebrating change, working with a thin veil for communication with the dead, and working with the death energy isn’t limited to the end of October. No, the veil is actually at its thinnest point the second week of November. As I explained in an article on my personal site a few years back: “Saturn […]
Beloved Dead – Making an Ancestral Altar
Have you ever been touched by the passing of someone you didn’t know personally? I was in high school when Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek, died. Although I was already a certified geek back then, Roddenberry meant little to me at the time. My friends may have been Trekkies, but phasers couldn’t stand […]
Alternate Rite to Eurynomous
It’s only the second of October, but autumn has arrived in full force where I live. Most of the trees have turned, and the leaves dance in lively orange and yellows against the dreary sky. Just a couple of weeks ago, I didn’t need a jacket in the morning. Today, I wanted gloves when I […]
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 […]

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 […]
