At the beginning of the month I released my second novella on Amazon:

Megan has been coming out to the cabin every summer since Eric and Liz brought her and James with them on their family vacation after their sophomore year of high school. Things have changed since then – Eric’s gotten married; James is now exclusively gay – but the tradition remains: the axis of peace and hope and, for lack of a better word, family around which her otherwise banal and depressing year revolves. Angel comes with them, now, and every year James brings a different boy. This year is no different, at first.

An unseasonable cold hits the mountain as evening approaches, and a cold rain falls as the sun sets. The wind sounds like someone screaming, and the lamps don’t illuminate the cabin like they should. They manage to convince themselves it’s just their imaginations, at first — rain happens when you’re camping, right? And James’ buddy Randal is just a religious nut who’s scared of storms. Nevermind that the locals don’t go out alone after dark, or the number of tourists “lost” in the Ozarks every year. The darkness can’t move outside the window.

What’s worse, though, the darkness, itself, moving? Or something moving outside in the darkness?

Having released my second story set in that world, I am also releasing the logo, which you will also see at the top of my page to the right. All my stories will be available at that link as they are released.

The Mundus Occultus is my world of occult horror and supernatural mystery. Unlike most of the genre, however, my stories are rooted as much in my life experience as a neo-Pagan witch as the conventions of the genre. Along side all the werewolves and vampires and flesh-and-bone monsters, half the thigns we love, you will see magic that makes sense, refferences to books you’ve read, books you wish you’d written, and an insider’s perspective on how Pagans and magicians would live in such a world. I also strive to defy the conventions of the genre in respect to the treatment of queers, women, and people of color. This is not a world with hero cops or innocent white boys. The world may not be saved. That may not be a bad thing.

What is the Work?

Satyr Magos05/07/2016

Again again again I come back to this question.

What is the work?

Simple question, on the face of it. So many dangerous non-answers.

I ran into an old friend over the weekend. She said some things to me that made me want to scream.

“It sounds like you’re exactly where you need to be,” she said. Then ahw proceded to tell me what I needed to do instead of what I’m doing now: find a new home festival, if Heartland has become all work; go to other festivals to see how they do things (how are those two not murually exclusive?). I asked her how her life was going, and she changed the subject.

Running into D struck me as an omen of sorts. There’s a conversation we get stuck in every time we talk about life: “I don’t know what I’m supposed to be doing,” she’ll say to me; I’ll respond, “What do you want?” We didn’t actually have that conversation this time — or perhaps we did, obliquely and by inversion — but I couldn’t not think on it.

Since the end of the Ceremonial Experiment and the decomissioning of the Sunrise Temple, I have been spiritually adrift. My magical practice has ammounted to repeating the Experiment in miniature — powering through RO’s Seven Spheres when it came out last year; attempting to code-switch planetary conjuration into the language of Witchcraft at the beginning of this year. My spiritual practice has consisted solely of orchestrating the rituals for Heartland Pagan Festival — playing priest to the community, a role to which I have long aspired, but somehow to the exclusion of my personal spiritual pursuits.

I keep coming back to the same to questions. Where do I go from here? What is the next phase of the work? The blog has suffered for it even more than my life. Existential angst is not the writing mode that I do best.

I have been seeking teachers again. But there are a number of reasons that so many of the books on magic are exclusively 100-level beyond the obvious American (and, perhaps, to a lesser degree Anglophone) prefference for shallow knowleged. At a certain point you must cross the line from the techniques of magic into the experience of the Mysteries.

I have found some inspiration in the recent works of Gordon White and Peter Grey. But Peter Grey, however brilliant his writing, is too much the cishet fuckboy: for every brilliant illumination he provides, there is an overlong passage of literary masturbation wherein he gets so caught up in his own language that he forgets his point, on the one hand, and some casually awful straight man bullshit on the other. And Gordon White, for all his Chaote brilliance and animist awakening, is too comfortable with the lingering structures of empire and his emphasis on ancestors is a place that I have not yet been able to follow.

And there, of course, obvious directions that I could go from here.

Going back to basics (again) would probably serve me well. Struggling to meditate means you need to meditate more, right?

Leaving my body was my greatest aspiration when I fist began practicing magic. I never quite got the hand of “astral projection” techniques, but I am unconvinced that the shamanic visionary techniques I did, once, excell at were taking me to a fundamentally different place. And yet… I have let htat practice slip.

I have a small cadre of familiar spirits accumulated throughout my visionary and ceremonial practices, all of whom probably have something to teach me if only I were talking to them.

I have a collection of masks, maked in frantic, mantic fever, each of which has some purupose that I have not yet unlocked, and which is probably more subtle and potent that the production of occult art.

I have drawn Powers and spirits into the bodies of others, almost too casually, but I have only experienced trance-possession, myself, and handfull of times: once Death, once my Natal Demon, twice a Sun God, all by the aid of masks, and, most recently, the Nine Muses followed by Typhoeus as a part of the Air and Water rituals this year’s festival. And yet, it was long considered the defining feature of moder neo-Pagan witchcraft.

There are gods and powers I have encountered in my practice whose interest in me I never managed ot understand. The Intelligences of the Moon. The Witchmother and Witchfather — the latter possibly Lucifer, the latter whom I never idenitified. The Queen of the Deap Water. Certain Solar powers. Rhea Cybele.

And Dionysus, who has shown me small favors yet always remained aloof.

A clever reader, of course, sees not an overabundance of options, among which one cannot chose, but rather an escalating programme that I should be pursuing.

And yet … the dillema remains. How do you meditate when panic rises every time you try to still your mind?

This is the work.

Producing a Lexicon of Queer Witchcraft

Satyr Magos22/06/20161 Comment

This post was originally written several years ago, while I was still in the Sunrise Temple. For some reason I can’t recall – possibly because it didn’t tie in neatly with the Ceremonial Experiment – I decided to post it exclusively to my Tumblr. I repost it here, now, because I was looking to link to it as I was drafting my response to the Ruth Barrett issue and was irate that I couldn’t find it. It was, probably, my most popular Tumblr post, and I think that the discussion is still relevant, and I am still struggling to think clearly in the wake of post-festival and post-tragedy collapse. The below post has been slightly edited for spelling and grammar.

This is a thing that has been on my mind for a while, and I’m going to float it here before I begin drafting a larger post for the main blog.

I know for a fact that I am not the only genderqueer witch who doesn’t fit comfortably under the trans umbrella. I strongly suspect that many like me share my struggle to find language to describe their experiences. The one word I know that comes close to describing the way in which my spirituality and gender identity intermix–Two-spirit–is not mine to use. Being a Classicist, though, I have access to two whole lexicons from which to less problematically adopt words: Attic Greek and Classical Latin.

Let me, therefore, propose a word for those of us whose spiritual genders embrace a combination of masculinity and femininity: digenes, from διγενής. Literally, it renders as “two kind”, but is more commonly taken to mean “of dual or ambiguous nature”. For those who wish to explicitly embrace a broader spectrum, the neologism polygenes (πολυγενής) can be coined: many-natured. If you don’t like genes, phusis can be used: diphues (διφυής) or polyphues (πολυφυής): literally two- or many- natured. Digenes is historically testified to describe Dionysus (citation pending), and diphues to describe Eros in the Orphic Hymn.

So: the proposal:

digenes, diphues, polygenes, and polyphues

Attic/Koine Greek borrow-words and neologisms to describe the experience of genderqueer spirituality for those of us whose traditions do not come equipped with such words.

Looking for the Labyrinth

Satyr Magos21/06/2016

This weekend, I attended my first Gnostic Catholic Mass with the local chapter of the OTO. Because my timing is sometimes awesome, there was a group in from Omaha to see three of their number baptized, which really elevated the initiatory current of the rite. I could get into a detailed analysis, but that’s not why I’m here today.

The ritual was beautiful and powerful. I definitely enjoyed the power-up. I’m glad I went. There were good people there. I will almost certainly go again.

But it’s not home.

I spent half the ritual itching to go home and do witchcraft. To light candles and beat a drum and chong out my altar room with incense and oil smoke. To pour libations and swill wine with the gods. To leap the hedge and descend the World Tree and seek once more the realms beneath the Earth. I want to walk the winding paths of the labyrinth.

Instead, though, I struggle to meditate. My dreams elude me.

I stand before my altars and stare, futile, even as I stare at the blank page. Should I draw or write? What project needs my attention first? How do I even? How do? What do?

I want to burn the world. I have to tools. And yet my hands shake. The circle trembles. My heart hammers in my chest. Where do I begin to begin again? I am paralyzed by indecision.

I cannot find my voice. I cannot find my way back to the labyrinth.

Death and Violence

Satyr Magos13/06/2016

I spent the last two months lost in the woods. Tragically, while true, this is not a literal statement. I lost the entirety of April and May to preparing for and putting on the Heartland Pagan Festival. In those months, I did not engage with social media except to shout into the void. Since I have come back from festival, and started checking in, I have found a number of clusterfucks waiting for me, and I have struggled with how to engage with them.

And then the last week happened. Yesterday morning, I struggled to write something relevant about Ruth Barrett, her heinous anthology, her history, and Cherry Hill Seminary’s inadequate response. This morning I struggle to address the violence in Orlando, and the routine, inadequate, responses to it. There are things I want to say. There are things that might be useful to say. I’m not sure how much overlap there is between those things.

I am not the only one who predicted this attack (or, rather, something like it) in the hours after last year’s supreme court ruling by which marriage equality was made national law. I must admit that that I, at least, expected it to come much, much sooner. Instead there was the long litany of murdered transwomen, mostly women of color, which grew steadily day by day.

Watching people blame “radical Islam” for the Orlando attack, when I have spent my entire life listening to mainstream Christians advocate similar violence, is sickening. I remember the mainstream gay bashing of the 1990s. I remember when, in the 1990s and 2000s, ultimately 4/5ths of US states decided that the federal ban on same-sex marriage was insufficient and passed state laws and constitutional amendments to the same effect. And I know my history. This shit isn’t new, and it’s not Islam. Or, not just Islam. Nor was Orlando the only attack this week, just the most successful. There was also the Target bathroom bombing in Evanston, IL, and the shooter arrested on the way to the Los Angeles Pride Parade. And probably a half-dozen more I haven’t heard about yet.

Meanwhile, I watch the slow rise of pro-gun and anti-queer paganism, and wonder how much longer it will be before I’m staring down a barrel at festival. There was more casual homophobia among Pagans in the 1990s, but I don’t remember people fighting this hard to kick us out. I do remember Heathenry rejecting the Pagan identity as a whole precisely because the larger movement was, among other things, more accepting of queers than they wanted to be. (Which is why I was so surprised and suspicious when people I knew started getting involved with the Norse gods.) That Cherry Hill Seminary would continue to employ Ruth Barrett after her repeated attacks on the transgender community, culminating in her TERF anthology project, tells me that her views are actually becoming more mainstream in the pagan community as a whole, despite being pushed to the margins of the festival circuit.

Paganism is not immune to the over culture: as queer rights progress, those who oppose us will continue to become more violent. And telling us to “embrace our own second amendment rights” in self-defense is basically telling us to violently secede, because there is no place in society for us.

Don’t look to me for a conclusion, here. Now is not the time to ask me about solutions, either. I am angry and afraid, and the only paths that I can see from here are defensive separatism or answering violence with violence, neither of which, statistically, pan out well for us in the end.

The one thing I am absolutely certain of is that assimilation is worse than death, and I will not no more conform to the heterosexist dualism of my fellow Pagans than to the white supremacist cishet patriarchy and materialist nihilism of mainstream American culture. I will not give up the magic. I will not give up the ecstasies. I will not conform to the prescribed roles for my sex, gender, or class.

I am a witch. The war is on, but I will not submit to a fair fight.

HPF 2016: Workshop After-Action Report

Satyr Magos08/06/2016

I hosted four workshops at this year’s festival. That’s quite an escalation from last year’s two, and next year I will probably do five. I’ll probably go at it all a little differently, though.

The nature of my first three workshops required that they be in a particular order, and on the same day. I taught a basic energy work and circle casting class, followed by a class on conjuring spirits, and culminating in an actual conjuration of the spirits of the Sphere of Venus at their appointed hour on their appointed day. Nescessarily, then, all three were Friday. That was kinda tiring. Also frantic.

The 101 course was sparsely attended – just two people – but they were very enthusiastic. It was intimate and effective, and I will definitely teach it again next year.

The conjuration workshop drew about eight people, twice as many as last year and more than all my other workshops combined. There was a good mix of experience levels, and people had a fun variety of their own stories to share. Almost all of them went on to participate in the actual conjuration that night, along with a handful who hadn’t made the workshop. Definitely a success.

The final workshop was a discussion on being queer and pagan. Relatively few people showed to that one, which had the misfortune of being placed at the same time as workshops by both Sede and Lupa, two of our guest speakers. In particular, I was interested to see if there was an interest in hosting meet-and-greets to help queers attending the festival to find each other and create a sub-community, and I think there is definitely enough interest in that. Hopefully some younger and more radical queers will attend next year, and we will have a more lively discussion.

All in all, I think the workshops went well, and putting them on was a very rewarding experience for me. I will definitely try to spread them out more, next year, if I can, but I will probably do them all again. I may even do two queer and pagan workshops: a meet-and-greet at the beginning and an after-action discussion group to air any problems that people had.

HPF 2016: Promethean Vow

Satyr Magos03/06/2016

At the apex of the Fire ritual, Prometheus demanded that each of us make a vow to act, to pursue an ambition which he would help us achieve. The ritual was written in such a way that all of the fascilitators could participate, and make vows of our own.

I vowed that my novel, The Mark of the Wolf, would be in print in time for the next festival.

My first step, taken less than 24 hours home from the festival, was to reproduce that goal in miniature by self-publishing one of my other, smaller, stories on Amazon.

My first published novelette, Bad Trip, is set in 1968, and follows a group of four friends as they explore a haunted house somewhere near Athol, MA. It’s not the first “haunted” house they’ve explored on their celebratory road trip, but it proves to be full of more than bad vibes and cheap thrills. As the four friends make their way the Whitley manor, room by room, they find first mystery, then horror, and finally doom.

The story offers, I hope, an intriguing introduction to my fictional world of occult horror, with a hat-tip to Lovecraft country on the way down. It’s $3 for 8000 words, which is more fun for less money than a trip to the cinema.

HPF 2016: Elemental Rites

Satyr Magos02/06/2016

We had a beautiful and elaborate ritual arc planned. We were going to have a ritual each day of the festival: opening with Earth, progressing through Air and Water, and culminating in Fire. There were to be four elemental altars, each to be staffed by one of my Keepers for the two hours before the ritual they would officiate. My ritual crew was to gather at the altars and process throughout the camp each night, calling people to ritual.

Then we had a week of torrential rains. Capped off by a tornado on opening day.

The elemental altars were never fully erected. My Keeper of Earth, an experienced hiker, felt that the path to hers was unsafe. The Water alter never even made it down to the lake. Having lost a day and a great deal of energy to the chaos of Thursday’s tornado, the oracular stations never took place. Thursday night’s ritual, as I described yesterday, just didn’t happen. I have since issued a public apology for all of this, but more than that … we were all looking forward to it. It was a loss for us as well as for the community.

After a great deal of discussion and soul-searching, we decided that the thing to do was to have the opening Earth ritual Friday night and conclude with Fire as we had originally planned. We would figure out what to do with the Air and Water rituals after we’d made it past the first goal post.

The Earth ritual was focused on cleansing ourselves of what had come before — written originally as our “mundane” lives, but expanded to include the fear and terror of the day before — and revolved around two points; “we are of the earth, we are upon the earth, and in the end, we are below the earth”; and “be here now”. Having led the participants through a rudimentary banishing, and ecstatic chanting led by Shauna Aura Knight, we conjured the genus locus of the Gaea Retreat Center, as aspected by Lupa, to cement the deal. We passed out hand-sewn pouches in which to collect sacred objects found or gifted throughout the festival, and concluded the ritual with a group hug, belatedly welcoming everyone to the festival.

At the end of the ritual, our Keeper of Air announced that we would be combining the Air and Water rituals for Saturday night.

The Air ritual was designed to help us discern and articulate our desires. Our key phrases in that ritual were “breathe and think” and “breathe together, live together”, with Shauna once again leading the chants. To the end of naming our desires, the Keeper of Air conjured the nine Muses, aspected by myself in a nine-faced mask — an experience that I will speak more on, later. For this ritual’s tokens, we passed out cones of incense.

We concluded the Air ritual as written, and Shauna held the space by leading the participants in a chant while my crew and I switched gears, turning ritual leadership over from the Keeper of Air to the Keeper of Water.

The Water ritual brought us together to face our fears, the things that hold us back. We brought everyone to the center of the circle as they chanted, and made them reach into a pool of water to get their seashell tokens. Then the Keeper of Water conjured Typhoeus, father of monsters, performed by Shauna Aura Knight to claim our fears as his children. Then everyone was brought back into the center of the circle to comfort one another. It was written to be heavy, and it was Shauna’s chance to deploy a number of her ecstatic techniques that could not be woven into the other rituals gracefully. The ritual thesis, dropped in the final line, was, “In the end, we must all face our fears. But we need not face them alone.”

The final ritual was Fire. Having sequestered ourselves, consulted the Muses, and faced our fears, it was time to act. The Keeper of Fire spoke of rekindling the divine spark within ourselves, dimmed by oppression and defeat. She conjured Prometheus to aid us, and he demanded an oath to pursue our ambitions before he would give us his aid. Again, Shauna added her ecstatic chants to raise and maintain energy, and to focus it into the candles we gave as tokens — candles which serve as contracts with Prometheus, cementing the vow to act in return for his aid.

All in all, I think that the rituals went off beautifully. There were a handful of flubbed lines and missed beats, but literally nothing that someone who didn’t write the script would notice. My Keepers were amazing, each stepping up past their own previously conceived limits. Lupa’s incarnation of the spirit of Camp Gaea was masterful and powerful. Shauna’s chant techniques reinforced our script and filled gaps in the rituals that we had not known how to fix. And Nels and Judy’s drumming helped tie everyhing together across all four rituals. Oh, and the costumes. I can’t wait to get the pictures back so I can show them off to you. Especially the nine muses. People poo-poo theatrical rituals, but it fucking works.

The feedback we have received so far has been overwhelmingly positive. I think that I can safely say that we are succeeding in serving our community.
