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.
Augoeides Posts- Get Some White Christian Love December 8, 2018Pastors getting busted for sex offenses is practically a cliché these days, but according to this article from Patheos a case from Oklahoma takes it one step further. A pastor there was busted for running a white supremacist brothel, which is one of those things that I didn't know existed until now. In addition to the quote below, the original article h […]
- Not That Kind of Nativity Play December 7, 2018Ah, the holiday season - a time of sad consumerism, cheesy music, and bad school pageants. At first I thought this one might be a fake story, but I dug into it just enough that I see no obvious signs of it being a parody article. Even if it is, it's too funny not to share. A mom in Scotland bought a shepherd costume for her son's nativity play, whi […]
- Evoking Hillary Clinton to Visible Appearance December 5, 2018As a progressive I'm not a huge fan of the Clintons, seeing as their legacy had a lot to do with the Democratic Leadership Council moving the Democratic Party in a more conservative direction in the early 1990's. However, what I don't understand at all is the ridiculous mountain of nonsense that conservatives have been sending their way since […]
- Via Solis Sagittarius Elixir Rite - Year Two December 4, 2018Today's Magick Monday post is a full script for the Sagittarius Elixir Rite that we will be performing tomorrow, Tuesday December 4th, at Leaping Laughter Oasis, our local Twin Cities body of Ordo Templi Orientis. Going forward, we will be continuing to perform one of these per month, once for each of the twelve signs, in a ritual series called Via Soli […]
- Celene Dion's Satanic Clothing Line December 3, 2018Canadian singer Celene Dion has been accused of Satanism. Not because she worships the devil or practices witchcraft or supports religious freedom or anything like that, but because she has recently released a line of unisex clothing. Oh, the horror! Apparently, all you need to do to become a card-carrying Satanist is to sit on the sofa in sweat pants. Maybe […]
- Books for the Holidays! December 2, 2018Cross-posted from my author web site.With the holiday season upon us, it's good to keep in mind that the gift of books never goes out of style. Of course, I'm talking about my books. My first novel was published in 2009 and since then I've put out additional fiction and non-fiction titles. Naturally, if I do say so myself, they make great gift […]
- More Evidence Against "The Simulation" December 1, 2018I never have found the simulation hypothesis - that is, the contention that we all are living in some sort of artificial reality simulated by computer systems - particularly compelling. As I've pointed out in previous posts, Nick Bostrom's 2003 philosophical argument that we might be suffers from the same logical error as Gambler's Fallacy, wh […]
- This Noah's Ark Floats November 28, 2018Forget that piker Ken Ham and his "Ark Encounter" attraction. Anybody with enough money and free time can build a giant replica of the famous ark from the Bible. But whereas Ham built his in the middle of a field with no thoughts of any kind given to seaworthiness, Dutch businessman Johan Huibers built an ark replica that actually works - you know, […]
