In August 2018, magicians are challenged to “summon a spirit or a set of spirits for 30 days to transform an aspect of your life.” This sounds good, except for one thing.

Williambriar.com has become Brassvessel.com! If you’ve come to my old page, you should be transferred shortly — hopefully with all of the old bells and whistles still intact. The new site remains under renovations, with a deadline of mid-June. For now, I wanted to make sure the domain was transferred. Delilah is a sassy lady. […]
I’ll keep this short. It’s Friday and, truth be told, I want to get to my weekend! Since yesterday’s practice worked so well, I decided I best duplicate it this afternoon. If it works, do it again. I read my cards first and pulled Lenormand’s THE BOUQUET, indicating I was on the right path; I’d […]

In Lenormand, this is the Fish. The card to the left represents where your money problems reside. The card […]
Today I reorganized my ancestral altar. In Daemonolatry, this month is dedicated to Eurynomous and the other daemons of the death. I placed lamens I had made with their sigils out of clay on the altar too, along with some items that reminded me of my grandfather. My invocations were a tad more elaborate than […]
