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- Doing It Wrong November 20, 2019These two idiots are making all of us authentic spellcasters look bad. A mother and daughter in Tyler, Texas are charged with stalking and harassment after creating "objects related to voodoo, witchcraft and satanism" and placing them on property belonging to their target. Here's the bottom line, folks - if you want to cast a curse on someone, […]
- This Won't End Well for the Christians November 16, 2019Now this is freaking ridiculous. Last week the Ohio House of Representatives passed a bill that prevents students from being penalized for wrong answers in their work so long as those answers are based on their religious beliefs. It's one more salvo in the war by evangelicals on everyone who is not a Biblical literalist, and one more attempt to enshrine […]

- Nobody Does This Either November 10, 2019This article is from a little over a month back, but for I'm just seeing it now. Maybe it's the law of attraction or something, because just like yesterday's post this one is about another Christian media host who is spouting ridiculous nonsense. Donald Trump complains about "fake news" all the time, but the news that is the fakest o […]
- Absolutely Nobody Does This November 9, 2019You know what I was saying yesterday about evangelical Christians who believe in some sort of gigantic "Satanic conspiracy" are either engaging in propaganda or are flat-out nuts? Here's a prime example. Dave Daubenmire is one of those self-proclaimed "prophets" who hosts a Christian talk radio show. He recently explained that aborti […]
- Wizardry for Trump November 8, 2019According to this article from Newsweek, Donald Trump's court wizard Paula White has launched a new magical initiative to protect the president from his enemies, who "operate in sorcery and witchcraft." Sure, White calls herself a "spiritual advisor" and describes her spells as "prayers," but those of us who practice the sp […]
- Haunted Grey Cloud Island November 6, 2019Like most places, Minnesota has its share of allegedly haunted locations. One of the most infamous of these is Grey Cloud Island, a three-square-mile island in the Mississippi River about twelve miles south of the state capital, Saint Paul. I've heard a lot of wild stories about the place over the years, and in my novel Arcana I wrote a scene there spec […]
- The Truth About Salem October 31, 2019Salem, Massachusetts currently has outsized influence in pop culture as the "Witch City," due to the major tourist draw of its annual Halloween festival.
