Το #Autumn είναι η αγαπημένη μου εποχή, γιατί μας δίνει τη μοναδική ευκαιρία να γεμίσουμε τη ζωή με ζωηρά χρώματα και αρώματα. 🍂🍁 Προσθέστε μια πινελιά #Magic στη μέρα σας: επισκεφτείτε την τοπική αγορά, απολαύστε μια ζέστη μηλόπιτα και χαλαρώστε κάτω από το μαγικά φθινοπωρινά δέντρα. Ας είναι αξέχαστο αυτό το φθινόπωρο για εσάς!

Great for the workplace ;-)

In the course of my write up I stumbled upon a powerful kaos magixal formula which is also included in the post. Caveat magus!

A commission for Xander of his human dusting a magical box, which mysteriously closes on him, rattles around, then reveals Wolf Xander, however human Xander seems to have just been vored up inside his balls.

At the International Congress on Medieval Studies last May, I sat for an interview with Earl Fontainelle of the excellent Secret History of Western Esotericism podcast about my work on the 13th-c. Sufi occultist Ahmad al-Buni. That conversation has recently appeared as a pair of podcasts. I can't bring myself to listen to them, but other people tell me they came out pretty well.

Here’s a magical love charm directed towards women and recorded from 1840s Sindh by Sir Richard Burton.

Recite the charm over 7 (or 9) threads of raw cotton spun by a little girl, then roll them up and tie 7 knots on them. Then inform the woman that you are performing "breaking of the trouser string" and she’d better just go to bed with you right away. If she refuses, untie one of your knots, and *her trousers drop by magic*. If she pulls them up, untie another knot, etc.

Hey #gamemaster and #dungeonmaster folk of the #ttrpg realms:

Consider turning your parties gear into #magic items and increase their strength over time.

Why let them search for "The Glaive of Some Old Dead Lad" when they can become that future dead lad themselves?

Check out my #blog and #youtube #video on the topic over here:

One of the main reasons that #Incense is used in #ritual is that most of the inhabitants Spirit World HATE the smell of Humans.

Also, using the right #fragrance makes the Spirit more willing to cooperate with you.

She gazed into the mirror, her eyes cast in a blank stare. As she softened her focus a halo formed around the edges where the glass met the frame. It drifted towards her like fog across the surface of a pond. She was enveloped in the soft cloud, and felt the air change around her. On the other side of the mirror sat her Otherworld guide, Sir Whiskers. “Step through,” he said, “and come with me.”

Feliz Mabon! Bendiciones!!!

El equinoccio de otoño marca la fecha en la que Magos y Brujas se reúnen para agradecerle a la Tierra una temporada de cosecha abundante. A esta serie de festejos se le conoce como Mabon.
Los paganos nos reunimos en torno a una mesa atestada de comida. Tras una temporada de cosechas buena, compartimos los frutos de la tierra con la comunidad desde hace varios siglos, a lo largo de una semana.

Whisker
The black whisker stood out against the tan rug. It was a long, stiff, hollow one. I picked it up, wondering what the original owner might have looked like. With it clasped between my fingers, it started a low vibrating hum. I felt the whisker send tingling up my arm and into my head. An image unfolded of a lovely black cat, yellow eyes glowing. And one simple phrase- “Now you know.”

I finished Ovid's Metamorphoses last night. (McCarter translation)

I expected mythology but I was surprised by the amount of magic. Like, woman with wild hair in the woods at night with a wand and cauldron, mixing herbs and casting spells.

I guess I had associated that with more Germanic (Grimm fairy tales) literature. Apparently a lot of that imagery comes from Rome.

When you screw up a magical ritual, using further magic will not really solve your problem.

It will only kick the can down the road.

Crow-Girl - The Spirit of Corruption

FREE DOWNLOAD! (PC only)

The recent announcement from Unity reminded me that although my Crow-Girl game is unfinished, I really wanted to enable people to play it as a free download.

I'm sorry that I've not been able to finish it but new Unity plans do not inspire any continuation in the future.

Download a zip file from the link below and simply run The Spirit of Corruption.exe file.

When working magic suggested by the Devil, it is wise to follow the instructions _precisely_.

It would be wiser still not to work such magic at all.

https://ooze.net/dion-fortune-was-a-shaman-fight-me/

Violet Mary Firth, later known as Dion Fortune, was one of the most formidable occultists of her day. Her work was an important influence on many Neo Pagans, most notably Gerald Gardener, but also on others later such as Druids Isaac Bonewits and John Michael Greer. She was an interesting mix of clairvoyant medium and university trained psychologist and, I argue, much of her work was remarkably shamanistic in character.

"FRAGMENTED"
by Rob Strati in his words.

This work was inspired by a plate from my wife's late mother, Barbara. One day it was dropped and shattered. Some time after, I picked up a pen and started working on the "Fragmented" series, exploring the possibilities of things broken and the stories that can evolve from them.

It’s been four months since I lost my home, but I’m finally settled enough with my partner to reassemble my altar! ❤️ #witchcraft #magic

It's been quite a treat to get such a long-range preview of what's to come, on #Magic's 30th anniversay. What do you think of the announced sets? What has you most/least excited?

As for me, none of the announced Universes Beyond collabs really caught my eye (except for a cautious, wait-and-see interest in the Final Fantasy crossover), but I am PUMPED for 2024's premiere slate:

-#MurdersAtKarlovManor: #Ravnica isn't my favorite plane (I have no issue with it, but I kind of missed it the first time around) but I'm always down for a murder mystery.

-#OutlawsOfThunderJunction: I've dreamt of a #WeirdWest #MagicTheGathering set since the 1990s, when I first played the Deadlands: Doomtown CCG. I even came up with a combat keyword mechanic for it once (Shootout, a way to split combat damage)! Cannot wait to see what the *actual* Wizards have come up with.

-#Bloomburrow: Get outta town! I had not one, not two, but THREE #Redwall -themed RP websites on Geocities when I was a younger teen. I read every book Brian Jacques ever wrote up til his death, save like one or two. Redwall and (especially) Mossflower defined so much of my childhood reading experience. I'm all in.

#DuskmournHouseOfHorror: I hope this is a new plane. I hope the ENTIRE plane is one impossibly large Winchester House nightmare of phantom staircases, sub-sub-sub basements, pivoting walls, and blood-soaked ghosts seeking vengeance for long-forgotten crimes. Even if that doesn't end up being the case, though, I have high hopes.

2. How much do I know about the Side Characters now, before I've fully started the first draft?

I was working on Grizelle's voice and trying to figure out how she gets from where she is at the start to being a commander of a regiment. That was when I realised she needed people around her to motivate her, so the side characters began to appear in my plotting.

Continuing with Grizelle's story again this month as this is a great way to character and world build!
1. Which of my side characters would I like to hang out with?

Grainne. She's based on one of my favourite women from history, Grace o'Malley. Grace was an Irish pirate queen during the reign of Elizabeth the 1st of England and did not bow to anyone.
Here's her wiki bio:

A group of friends has spent the most pleasant day out on the water together, and that day is coming to a contented close. Sunset casts its golden glow over water and sky, creating a magical environment that is almost other worldly.
