Day 22: Nothing to Report #DoMagick
Standard ritual practices today. Some prayers said. Some writing chores done.
Editing on ETG didn’t go as planned. Disappointed in myself for that. Think I may have to use some reverse psychology on myself there. There is a psychological block with this book. It represents the end of a journey for me that spanned a good 25 years. I think maybe the problem is I’m not ready to let it go.
But it’s time to move on and I know this. I need to let go of that journey and start the next one. I feel li...

Ba’al Collective #thirteencovens

Ba’al Collective (Fourteen Tales of Thirteen Covens Book 6)
Garrett will do anything to preserve the Sanderson bloodline, including human sacrifice.
Mary Rose, the last of the blood born Sanderson’s, was content to be a docile housewife, allowing her husband, John, to run her father’s legacy – The Ba’al Collective. Until she learns John’s terrible secret. A secret so dangerous it could rip the coven apart.
For Magus Garrett Hammon, it’s time for the Sanderson bloodline to retake...
Day 21: Thank the Gods… #DoMagick
As with all domagick.com challenges, I often think the biggest challenge is being able to keep up with the blog posts. Especially when you have nothing profound or interesting to report. Of course that’s not the case for today, but there have been a lot of boring days this time around.
I did some divination work today. Divination wherein the Daemonic Divine suggested I need to quit thinking so much about outcomes and get my ass to work. You can’t have an outcome if you have nothing produced f...

Day 20: Progress! #DoMagick
So, a lot happened today. I am rather impressed with my energy and the sheer amount of what I got done. So first, I opened the temple. Had my coffee and breakfast, then cut my husband’s hair. Answered some email. Went back into the temple, invoked Flaros, Bael, Paimon, and Agares – then Sorath. I re-anointed the magickal model, held it on high and asked for it to aid me in my goals, ran it through the incense, sprinkled it with water, stated some words of intent over it, then took it outsid...

Day 19: Long Summer Days #DoMagick
Days when I have to go to the day job can be long and harrowing depending on how much I have to do. Monday was a slow day at the office so it dragged. Painfully.
Normal morning routine, though rushed because I was running late (alarm didn’t go off). Office until six. Home at 6:30. Dinner, some light edits on ETG, meditation, then bed.
I did not pull a tarot card today. ::sigh:: (This is a really boring post and I’m sorry for that, but the rules for domagick.com clearly state you have to p...

Day 18: On Top of It! #DoMagick
Today is the second day of the month that I actually have felt on top of things. I finished up six readings before 4 pm, which is almost unheard of for me. This is good because it gave me time to complete some tablets, spend some quality time with my Sorath model, get some laundry done, and deal with some writing to-dos.
Everyone who reads this blog knows I’m a list maker. It’s what I do to keep myself organized.
WRITING TO-DOS for THIS WEEK (Creative Function)

Day 17: More Promo Events and Edits #DoMagick
Whoever said slow and steady wins the race certainly didn’t suffer from impatience. I suppose that’s a symptom of our instant gratification society. Long gone are the days of having to wait until your media store has something on the shelf. You can just go online, buy it, download, and have whatever media you want in a matter of minutes. Sometimes seconds! Thanks to credit cards, we no longer have to put major items on layaway or save to purchase whatever it is we want. So there’s that.
What...

Day 16: Where’s My Stuff? #DoMagick
Feeling slightly anxious today. I’ve been employing meditation at regular intervals to keep from losing my cool on people. Being people friendly is hard for me some days.
Regular temple work and meditation done.
Was too tired to do any actual writing chores today (it was an outside office day for the p/t day job). I did manage to think about plot points and edits. LOL Hey – at least I thought about it, right?
No tarot card pulled.

Day 15: More To-Do List #DoMagick
Since I was up late last night with the movie, I didn’t wake up today until 10 AM. That is a definite sleep-in for me. But it wasn’t a good thing because I had to go to the DMV today, and we all know that you NEVER go to the DMV at lunchtime if you can help it. So I bided my time by opening the temple, then I looked at a poll I offered up to my readers about Thirteen Covens. Checked and dealt with some email. Had breakfast and coffee. About 2pm I finally made it to the DMV. I was there for...

Day 14: Day Off? #DoMagick
Today was just a busy day. I got up, opened the temple. Left some oranges on the altar as offerings. Had my morning coffee. Went to the day job and stayed from 9-6:30pm (does not include the half hour commute time each way). Came home, had dinner. Spent some time with my DH, then we did some nightly chores, and ended our night by going to see the late showing of Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Like most movies, I liked it, DH hated it. LOL
I came home and climbed into bed. No real magick. I also s...
