THANKSGIVING

This one goes to my sister, Manna, the best walker between the worlds that I know. . . . . . . The table is set, the house is lit, and the pact stands. The ivy drips from the heart. Passing through the ring it makes a wreath. Underneath it is a fountain. The AngelContinue reading “THANKSGIVING”

BROOM TIE

It’s the season. Or maybe not, as I always end up doing some practical magic at the cabin in the Swedish woods. I’m good with cards, knots, and other thoughts. There are alliances. We watch each other. I craft anew with the old bones. Fallen apples have made it into a crumble pie. Tomorrow I’llContinue reading “BROOM TIE”

PAUL’S KEY

Today it’s my nephew’s birthday. Paul turned 19. 19 adds to 10. 1+0 for new beginnings and then a jump into the void. I wish Paul all the best with making the best of it, indeed. He called me.

The imagination turns black on the eighth count leaving room for all on call to state their names. Chronophagoi.Continue reading “MANDRAKE”

Although I don’t want to make a big fuss about it, I want to make a quick point that might inspire others to think about what they are saying when they utter the words ‘magic and ethics.’ While I have been fortunate enough to have undergoneContinue reading “TAROT AND MAGIC”

Some have been enjoying my latest spell work, published on my other blog, Fragments, where I muse about life, people, animals, and places. I find particular pleasure in creating magical objects that are useful. I like to allow myself to be seized by the cards. Put my words in the service of my mind, but letContinue reading “SPELL”
