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.

- Evangelical Leaders Condemn Christian Nationalism February 25, 2021Here's a welcome development. A group of evangelical Christian leaders has come out against "Christian nationalism," which they describe as "heresy." Wow. I have to say, I didn't see that coming. I mean, the whole concept is obviously heretical if you read the Bible and understand Christian theology and all that, but I'm no […]

The post I mention in the talk on "Blinds and Innovation" is here and my Path of Initiation articles can be found here.I find the whole notion of gatekeeping in the esoteric world pretty silly.

- Exorcise Your Cat! February 23, 2021No, not exercise, exorcise. Today's article can't help but remind me of Bill Murray in Ghostbusters 2 pushing his no-budget paranormal TV show. "Next week on World of the Psychic, hairless pets. Weird." The joke, of course, being that there's nothing paranormal or psychic or ghostly or demonic or whatever about having an unusual-look […]

- More Legal Trouble for Museum of the Bible February 9, 2021Whatever happened to "Thou Shalt Not Steal?" The Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC is owned by the oh-so-Christian Green family of Hobby Lobby Craft Stores fame. It also has a serious antiquities theft problem going back many years involving stolen and illegally trafficked artifacts. In the latest chapter of this entirely un-Christian saga, the […]
- Werewolf Trials in France February 5, 2021One of my claims to being fame-adjacent is that I was in college with Mark Rein-Hagen, creator of the World of Darkness series of role-playing games including Vampire: The Masquerade and Werewolf: The Apocalypse. The reason I bring this up is to point out that the World of Darkness was one of the first places in popular culture where the vampire and werewolf […]
