The power of the mind is an amazing thing. It’s something that is very important for magic workers and divination workers to keep in mind as they do their work. The mind can cause things to happen by changing the way in which we react. Our emotions can overpower our thoughts, but our thoughts can…
[Getting back into the swing of PBP! I may not fill in the missing posts, but I’m going to jump back in and continue forward] This past weekend, I was pleased to attend a devotional to Ma’at hosted by T. Thorn Coyle of the Solar Cross Temple. Solar Cross hosts devotionals most months and I’ve…
You’ll often hear that the best tools are those you made yourself. To some extent, I have to agree.
