  • Hey Occulties, Seeing so much asshattery in my inbox gave me an idea…how about we do a little test. 😉 I’m sure I will have a lot of anti-fans but after the last month and a half I had of people totally not following directions or acting like they couldn’t fight their way out of…

  • Hey there, Occulties, Time to answer another round of questions which have been plaguing my inbox. 😉 Hope this is educational for some of you. Q: What, in your opinion, is the single best skill to start working on for a new magician/rootworker/spellcaster? A: I answer this question probably every few years, and while some…

  • Hey everyone, So this has been a question in my inbox, therefore I decided to show some images and I hope this is helpful. 🙂 Start by punching 5 holes in the top of a candle with a sharp object. For dark work, I use an old screwdriver. For positive work I use a knitting…

  • Hi Occulties, I was trying to get back to work on Reconciling a Friendship, part 2, but with my interaction with that crazy CA chick, I honestly wasn’t in the “let’s talk about making up with each other” mood. I do hope you can forgive me…I think that was the first time I was ever…
