I finished making two Alkaid talismans a short bit ago using the previously posted elections. One talisman is for home and the other is a portable version that will fit easily in a pocket but still contains all the ingredients from The Book of Hermes on the 15 Fixed Stars. Given that I still feel [...]

Good News / Bad News01:57pm
The good news is my Hazel trees arrived today and are planted in a temporary pot until I can get two larger containers for them. The bad news is I’m fighting a sinus infection and feel like crap, so the candle consecration work I had planned for this afternoon is not going to happen. I [...]

Sample Spica Offering Election10:13pm

Daimon Offerings07:46pm
I’ve seen some people asking what you can do with the Daimon names generated using the Daimon Name Calculator. One of the things I’ll be using them for is making offerings to the ruling spirits of some of the talismans I’ve made and used. The theory is that the offerings will increase the power of [...]
