Mainly I’ve been reading a great book about the Tarot for the past few days called “The Thursday Night Tarot.” It’s really resonating for me because unlike a lot of other “new agey” stuff, this book comes off with a lot of self reliance and responsibility. Basically the jist of the book is, if you’re not getting what you want out of life, either you’re not trying hard enough, or you’re not being honest with yourself about what you really want. It’s not God’s fault, it’s not your parents’ fault, … Continue reading

Well I won’t be doing any Valentine’s goofiness, I’m an old school nerdy gamer so I’m not allowed to have that kind of social life 😀 hehe. But I bet I will take a peek in on some of my game titles – esp. since all three of my EVE characters will be finishing up some major training landmarks this weekend. Nab finishes Astrometrics 5 and will move on to Electronics Upgrades 5 so he can join Marko’s Hound in a Covert Ops Cheetah. Marko will finish up Propulsion Jamming 5 and … Continue reading
[Edit: Jan 31] Ok, big “DUH!” here. LOL. If I would’ve taken a bit more time looking through the work that Skinner and Rankine are publishing, I would’ve realised that the “Veritable Key …” is what most of us “old timers” refer to as “The Greater Key of Solomon.” Versus the “Lesser Key,” which is the Lemegeton- which Skinner and Rankine issued under the name “The Goetia of Dr. Rudd;” SO, I still need to get me a copy of Dr. Rudd’s Goetia and Skinner & Rankine’s “The Keys to the Gateway of Magic,” … Continue reading
Ok, so in keeping with my “Lemegeton” theme – I thought I’d post at least one thing this month that pertains to the occult. Enochian tablets, or tables, are interesting, complicated, and of course magical. They’re the “original” Ouija board. Well… Maybe not quite “original,” since “talking boards” have been around for a very long time. But the Enochian version are what “real magi” use to talk to angels/demons/daemons what-have-you. The tables themselves were created through the dynamic-duo of Dr. John Dee and Edward Kelly. (Two-man divinitory ensembles were quite the rage … Continue reading
My first full calendar year of blogging – woot! I actually hit my 1-year anniversary last September, but having a full Jan-Dec. calendar year of blogs is kind of cool too! So let’s see… as for gaming in 2008 I did stints in EVE, LotRO, AoC, DAoC, WAR, Wiz101, WoW, Hellgate, CoX, and minimally some Guild Wars (mainly to see what my annual gift pets were, LOL). I think I’m getting bored with the whole genre though as I can’t seem stay interested in any one of them more than 2-3 … Continue reading
