Day 3: A Lesson and A Walk #DoMagick

So today I took a lesson from yesterday’s work and did my yoga session, balancing and meditation session in the afternoon.  Then, early evening we went for a nice walk so I could burn off all that energy. I have to admit that I think I need more active sequencing in the structure of my poses. So I might revamp the sequences before starting again next week. I’ll let you know the new sequences once I figure them out.

I got a lot done today. Updated blogs, Patreon, did royalty reports, finished...

Day Two: Extremes #DoMagick

Yesterday I managed to finish the entire air sequence + meditation and chakra balancing, and then I had insomnia until three in the morning, and some vivid dreams. I won’t go into the dreams because they’re too personal, but suffice to say they are pretty obvious in their meaning.

So how this week is going to go:

Day 1- Earth (DONE) Day 2- Air (DONE) Day 3 – Fire Day 4 – Water Day 5 – Full sequence Day 6 – Whatever is needed. Day 7 – Whatever is needed.

Takeaway: Don’t do earth before air?...

Thirteen Covens: Bloodlines #thirteencovens #occultfiction

I promised those who prefer to read in paperback that I would put out the first 7 Thirteen Covens novellas in paperback once I finished the 7th novella. It was probably for the best since the story as it now stands is over 100K in length, which is a beefy sized novel. Had I waited to the end, I could potentially have something the size of Stephen King’s The Stand. While I’ll likely do a collectors edition (in hardcover) of Bloodlines as a complete set later on (probably by 2020), for now I’ve...

Day One: Beginner’s Mind Yoga #DoMagick

Well, my friend, Will, wasn’t half wrong. Corpse Pose sent me straight to Zzzzzzzzzzzzz land last night.

My first day of this #DoMagick challenge was dedicated to earth. I made it to corpse pose while I listened to a chakra balancing video. Needless to say, the subsequent meditation on Belial’s sigil didn’t happen. Ha!

What I’ve always found interesting about yoga is how you can feel tension and blockages loosen during different poses and by the end of each sequence you can feel relaxed, ener...

Flow Sequences #DoMagick

So I’m starting to develop my flow sequences. I am using The Yoga Deck by Olivia Miller to help me design the flow sequences. The deck includes 50 cards. 12 include breathing exercises/meditations, and the rest are various poses. To help me design my “Daemonic Elements” flow series’,  I separated the cards into logical (to me) Earth, Air, Fire, Water poses and pranayama.  From each stack I created logical flows.

For example – Sufi Mother’s Breath is nurturing to the spirit and sense of well b...

New Release: Order of Eurynome #thirteencovens

The only people who seek out Order of Eurynome willingly are the dying or the dead.

When a dying man approaches The Order with a vengeful request of necromancy, The Order refuses. But funeral director and funerary priest Jay Ray, finds the request intriguing. Amid mounting rumors of The Order’s involvement in necromantic experiments, Jay Ray takes matters into his own hands with terrifying results.

Can he save himself, and The Order, before reality reinforces rumors and The Order’s ethical re...

Experiments #DoMagick

I know. All I’ve been posting lately are my #DoMagick posts. I guess I haven’t had much else to talk about lately since I’m deep in editing and finishing up projects right now. Gods only know what I’ll have done by the end of the month there. The writing life has been wicked crazy this year, and I may not be getting a real break until November at this point. But that’s okay. I am finding that letting go, letting the chaos flow around me, and just steering the boat seems to be working there....

Yoga and Pranayama #DoMagick

So I’ve decided what my work will be for August. And it’s not new to me, per se, but it’s something I need to get back into and my goal is to make it a habit to improve my flexibility and my overall health.  I am going to do 30 days of Yoga with Pranayama designed to heat me up and stimulate my metabolism. I need more movement and stress relief, and I think this would definitely do the trick.  No, it’s not new to me. However, the Pranayama is something I’ve never really worked consistently wi...

#DoMagick Research for August

So I am debating what to do for the next #DoMagick. Apparently this next one is to try a new-to-you technique (magickally speaking) for the entire month. I’m considering meditation/energy work.  The problem is that after 33 years of practicing magick – very little is “new” to me. So I may just revisit a technique that I may have not given a fair shake. Who knows – I may find more value in it now than I did when I initially tried it. It’s always good to make sure one hasn’t thrown the baby out...
