Want to make your magick more powerful? Connect it more deeply to yourself and who you are.
Regardless of your tradition or magickal methods, the more you can personalize the work you do and make it resonate with your deepest self, the more potent it will be.
If you’re an LGBTQIAP2S+ person, one way you can personalize your magick is to celebrate your queer identity in your practice. Here are six practical ways you can do that: https://majorarqueerna.com/crosspost-6-ways-to-celebrate-your-queerness-in-your-magick/
Planning to travel to San Diego and Los Angeles during May & June. Submit the form on my website if you'd like to be considered for a spot. I need genuine inquiries to justify the cost of travel so this helps me gauge how long to stay for & exactly when to come 
Dates for travel & last minute availability will be released via my newsletter when details are solidified.
So, I might pop in from time to time after all as things get going. I appreciate your patience as I navigate all of this: there are a lot of things on my mind related to the way I'd like to live and the reality of how I should live right now given the choices available.
But enough of that for now. The first newsletter has been sent out to members, and I'd like to share it here as well for anyone interested to read.
"A Treatise on Ascendent Ritual"
This work is participatory. It is demanding of discipline, of belief, of preparation. It highlights shortcomings, shortcuts, and insecurity. The results you achieve are based on the effort you put in: in knowing thyself, in forging the thought patterns that work towards your will, in curating mindfulness and careful attentiveness. This is magick: this is what makes it real.
There is an industry, a very profitable one, that would like you to believe that magick just happens for a price. That if only you pay the right price, you can bypass the work of magick. They frame the inner work required as healing, but false healing: healing that doesn’t require you to look inward too deeply, healing that looks like lush palm trees and swimming pools and sound baths, healing that comes automatically from hearing the right frequency, taking the right substance, or buying the right clothing. There are practitioners that will take your money and tell you that all you need to do to manifest prosperity is to buy their book, their workshop, their jewelry, their incense, their candles. To outsource your power to them. Their will is not teaching or guidance, because they are the new priesthood: interpreting energy and doctrine for you in the ways that benefit them.
I'm diving into the world of magic(k) at the moment.
I've been watching these Alan Moore videos in which he matter of factly sketches out his undogmatic ideas about the topic.
At first I thought he was incredibly stoned but I've now realised he's wearing a panda size dose of mascara.
Of interest for some. For me, I'll say I've had to do and continue doing some serious deprogramming work as I walk further along with the #CosmicJoker.
Blessed be the #DivineHumor.
> When You Call The Gods… And They Show Up

I was signed up for Tony Robbins' Unleash the Power Within without being consulted. I was not even given a chance to consent. This I'm finding is not an uncommon theme in my life so it only matters how I handle it.
My biggest takeaway so far is that it feels like secularized magick dressed up in televangelism and pop psych jargon. The beauty and mystery of occultism pillaged and appropriated by a hyper masculine cult.
But a thought that amused me as I'm sitting here on Day #4 listening to the motivational speaker Trent is:
It's adorable to watch mundane people realize they are not mundane, that the only thing that makes them mundane is the choice to not believe. That they have always had the power, but have no drive to seek it.

Everclear (95% ethanol) dissolves almost everything I use in magick. 
For everything else there's oil. 
If either fail, combine them and scrub! 
Still haven't found a good one forwax.

The more exposure I have to psychology (through my therapist friends) and the more I study magick, witchcraft, and astrology, the more similarities I see between the two. They are both, after all, trying to figure out the heart/emotions, mind, and spirit as well as figure out ways to work with them and cause intentional changes in them for their healing and betterment.
Being modern and secular, and to maintain its air of respectability and broad applicability, psychology eschews topics that might touch spirituality, such as defining how the spirit and or soul fits with the mind, which is probably for the best as that is individual.
Self-help is the popularized monetized secular equivalent to chaos magick: whatever works: glitz it and ship it!
Self-help pilfers from psychology that which it finds useful enough that they can sell to people for the effect promised.
Self-help is modern secular magick and craft.
In this essay I will...
