Magical Monday

 Hello, everyone, and Darkest Blessings. I have not been on here in a long time and I gotta say there has been a lot going on for me to catch y'all up on. 

During the last couple of years, it came to pass that myself and the now ex got a divorce. No sympathies or condolences please, they are not needed. That relationship was already coming to an end, the last time I posted here. I have been quietly trying to rebuild my own life and make the ends meet the best that I can. I rebranded my small occult business, it is now called "Dark Moon Mediums and Magic" If anyone follows my other blogs, you will have noticed there is a blog dedicated to just my business. We also have a new and improved Facebook page, and while it says we are temporarily closed, that is because, since this past October 8th, 2022, I have been recovering from emergency surgery. A ruptured ulcer and near heart attack will definitely set one back a bit. I have since been given the all-clear to resume my work, with a new diet change and monitoring of my condition. I have learned that a partially vegan diet is not such a bad thing! 

Magically and spiritually, I have been slowly and tentatively researching and practicing some interesting stuff. You all know from previous posts that I am not one to shy away from a new path, or a new magical idea or form of practice no matter how dark or eyebrow-raising it might be, if you don't explore then you don't learn or develop yourself. I stumbled across a book called  Demons of Magick: Three Practical Rituals for Working with The 72 Demons. which is a great read, by and by, and it catapulted me head first down a dark and interesting rabbit hole that I have yet to return from. Considering how well some of those rituals have worked out, I might actually stay down this rabbit hole permanently. I purchased the paperback, along with some other books that correlated to the subject at hand, and I have been studying and working with the Demons of Magick book for almost a year now. 

I have since discovered that those often tarred and feathered, discriminated, shunned, and neglected things some of us call "demons" are really quite helpful and are willing to listen and even provide the things you ask for if you ask nicely and provide a little time, effort, patience, and a drop or two of blood. They are no different or unworthy of veneration than say Hecate, St Holy Death, and the other "Dark" Gods, Goddesses, and Spirits. For what is true magical practice without darkness and shades of grey? Magic and its practice and study is not all sparkles, rainbows and glitter... sometimes its a black candle, a drop of blood and a whispered incantation at 3AM...
