Coyote's Den

This section is for the few essays I have written (or will write) on various metaphysical, occult, magickal, or pagan-oriented topics.

Some of them may be about actual practice or workings, others about the reasoning or meaning behind certain workings. I may discuss the ethics of magick or paganism. And yes, some of these essays would more properly go under the heading of theology rather than practice.

And yes, I spell magick with a "k".

I don't do hat tricks, and I never could get the hang of sawing my assistant in half and having them be particularly good for anything afterwards.

But I always remember the words of Anton LaVey, who said "People who spell magic with a 'k'-- aren't."

As in "Not 'kay," get it?

The thing there, of course, is to avoid taking the whole thing too seriously. Magick is a good word when used properly - do differentiate magickal workings from illusion and parlor tricks. But it's not a good word when you're just using it to show how cool you are that you need to spell something differently.

Anyway, I digress.
