Body Politic

Unfortunately, I’ve learned not to tell many people when I want to do something new. They’re usually judgemental. Yes. Well trained cattle are obedient cattle. Our society truly is a body politic.

Know Your Instrument

We can only sing one song at a time. The purpose of practicing magick is to establish a resonance with a power in the world you would seek to master, and just as music follows a sliding scale, so do these forces. This is why they seem inevitable. They are all there, and everything will…
