The Moon chapter returns to the hill outside Rochester and adds no new locations. Elspeth and Jim travel to the site, where Jim proceeds to call in his magick office associates and capture Elspeth. He then makes his move against Balzador, but the dagger does not work quite as expected. In the confusion Elspeth finds herself able to use magick for a few moments and sets up a series of spells that help her escape. She steals one of the government sedans and sets off for Minneapolis to meet back up with the remaining Guild magicians.

In my magical models series I discussed aspects of the "psychic model" versus the "spirit model" of magick, and concluded that both play a role in successful magical operat […]
- Against Freaking Cartoons January 15, 2020Just like with Harry Potter years ago, Christians are complaining about a new animated Disney fantasy series because it dares to have a protagonist who uses (fantasy) magic. I figure these folks must just hate the entire fantasy genre, because fantasy fiction without magic is pretty much not-fantasy-fiction. Also, doesn't Disney have a long history of a […]

For whatever reason, I seem to be very, very good at job spells and not nearly as good at spells for success in business. So I figured tha […]

January 8, 2020I suppose, if you really think about it, the opposite of "palatable occultism" might be "aggressive Satanism" - you know, if a significant portion of this alleged "Satanism" really had anything to do with actual occultism.Here's the background. Father Francois Dermine, a longtime Roman Catholic exorcist, claimed in an artic […]
