An Apocalypse Video Series

So Google Plus is rivalling Twitter in the game of “who can bring me the most interesting things whenever my microscopic attention span needs a break.” As such, here are several videos that have come through both that relate to our ongoing plan to develop apocalypse management strategies. Watch them in order. This next one [...]

Collect The Little Victories Along The Way

Collecting the little victories along the way is good advice for any reasonably complex goal, of course, because the universe has an irritating habit of actually making you earn anything worth having. However it’s especially important for the Big Things like coping with grief or recovering from addiction. Spiritual illumination? Definitely a Big Thing. And [...]

The Spirit Molecule: Royal Wedding Series

Howdy from wherever I am in Scotland! Given that I’m going to be away from my internets for the next week and a bit on account of the royal wedding public holidays I thought I might whip up a daily media series for you. Think of it like holiday programming on TV. (It was either [...]

Exorcism On The Rise. Good Or Bad?

Apparently exorcisms are on the rise. And there is a worldwide exorcist shortage. This seems an unusual piece of news for the developed world in the twenty first century. At first glance, exorcism -along with no sex before marriage, literal creationism and the use of stoning to dish out punishment for minor civic infractions- belongs [...]

Got A Problem? Send Your Brain On Vacation

Sometimes it doesn’t feel like it but we’re incarnate in a really weird world. A lot of the time -as we go about our regular days- the knowledge that the world is amazing and odd isn’t especially useful. But if you’re mentally stuck then living in a weird world is golden. Let me introduce you [...]

Sunday Media For Your Brain

Blargh. News media in the UK is awful today. More pictures of that woman from outside Slough who is marrying her horse. Something about the world’s most incompetent terrorists in Sweden (which is saying something when you remember pants guy and the Saudi who exploded a bomb in his own ass). Nothing there to get [...]

Pet Dragons & Novelty

My publishing schedule was disrupted this week due to illness, a two-day conference and also because I went and did something really silly. But, as a result of the two day break, in which I didn’t touch any of my writing projects -including this blog- something strange happened. The meat for my pet dragon was [...]

A Brief News Service

So I am at a multi-day event which includes client dinners and so on. That has meant being out of the office and getting home drunk rather late. And that has meant no blogging. I was talking to the editor of one of our publications about this at the event yesterday. The publication has an [...]

How To Tell If You Are On Track

About a month ago, on my way to the first meeting for this potential new gig, I had an unusual experience coming out of the tube station in The City. As I exited the train I felt London’s dragon energy in an entirely new way. (Unsurprisingly one of the City’s dominant spirits of place is [...]

What Everybody Ought To Know About Food

Over the last five months I have been looking at ways of integrating magical perspectives into day to day existence. Historically it has been too easy for me to drift away and get very insular with magical studies that end up having minimal impact on my life (excluding spell effects). Food is the current focus [...]
