This month I asked Audrey Brice to come by and tell us a little about Rising Darkness, the latest release in the Demonolatry steeped OTS series. She tells us what inspired it, how Demonolatry plays a role in her novels, and what’s next for Elizabeth Tanner and the crew. ————————- FD- What inspired you to […]

Matrons, Patrons & Mentors – Oh My!
I have known people who made a hasty choice for their Matron/Patron and later redid their dedication to a new Matron/Patron. However, I’m a bit old-school in my personal opinion. Back when I began practicing, we were asked to study and practice at least a year and a day before even considering exploring Matrons or […]
Qliphoth Opus III
This incarnation of Qliphoth Journal contains an article by me, “The Path of Nasa & Alchemical Catharsis”, a relevant discussion about practical experiments in putrefaction utilizing the mandrake. Plus a lot of wonderful material by other excellent authors, many of whom you know and love. Check it out! QLIPHOTH Opus III “The Cycles Ov Primal […]
The Abyssal Angels
If you weren’t quick enough to get copies of Infernal Colopatiron while they were available, you can get copies of The Abyssal Angels, which is an affordable redux of Infernal Colopatiron (available in inexpensive hardcover, paperback, and ebook) that discusses gate opening and theophany and includes SOME of the information contained in Infernal Colopatiron. However, please note that Abyssal […]
A Magickal, Spiritual Life
Spirituality is not something that can be so easily disconnected from living life itself. So when one asks if my practice is more spiritual vs. more magickal, I often reply that life itself is both spiritual and magickal. Neither of these things can be separated out of my life. Nor would I want them to […]
Infernal Colopatiron Update
Two things from Official Melissa Press! The first thing is that there are only 21 copies of the standard edition of Infernal Colopatiron left. There were only 200 copies of the standard edition printed. There were only 30 copies of the Deluxe Edition printed and those were sold out over a year ago. The second […]
Groveling in Servitude and Other Amusing Assumptions
I admit it – prayer is one of those aspects of spirituality that I haven’t always been comfortable with. In my younger years, before I really understood what it meant to “pray”, I always envisioned those who prayed as groveling servants hoping deity would throw them a bone for being subservient and obedient. As I got older […]
Are You Ready for Kasdeya?
I’m not sure what happened to Frank’s introductory post for the month of April. It’s my understanding that this month’s posts are supposed to be about Kasdeya. To do or not to do Kasdeya – that is the question. I suppose this is something you should question before embarking on any extended ritual work whether […]
Daily Ritual
I’m breaking away from both my traditional blogging day (the 15th) and this month’s topic (magickal languages) to blog about what is tickling my fancy this week. That is the art of daily ritual. I often find myself surprised when I discover that a lot of people don’t perform daily rituals. I guess I always […]
Guest Blog: A Review of *Keys of Ocat*
Fr. Sem Sebastian’s Review of *Keys of Ocat* If I were to sum up Keys of Ocat: A Grimoire of Daemonolatry Nygromancye in a short phrase, I’d call it absolutely brilliant. Stephanie Connolly, Adrianna or S. Connolly as many of you know her, does the topic of necromancy a great justice. Keys of Ocat removes […]
