The Mystic and the Missing Girl by Vikki VanSickle

This is a small-town cozy mystery with a paranormal twist.

When Drew Benson inherited her aunt’s new age shop, she didn’t expect to get pulled into a twenty-year-old mystery.

Drew’s aunt Hannah had psychic abilities and when a local girl disappeared, Hannah tried to help the police. She gave the police three words that she felt were connected to the missing girl. The words were Lake, Saint, and Geranium. The police were never able to connect the dots. Eventually the search was called off, and the girl was never found. Hannah became known as a fraud.

Now that Drew has moved into her apartment above the shop, she has found that she enjoys owning the business but so far, she isn’t able to make it work. The customers have never come back.

Drew is considering selling, like her mother thinks she should until someone from high school who has gone on to become a journalist for a large newspaper shows up. He intends to write a twentieth anniversary story about the missing girl.

Drew hasn’t told anyone that she too has psychic abilities. She can hold objects and get a vision. She does so for the journalist and he convinces her that she could help him investigate the cold case. He believes they can get the story and clear her aunt’s name.

While digging through her aunt’s notes from the investigation, she discovers that her aunt didn’t share all the information with the police. There was a fourth word, Drew. Somehow Drew has a connection with the missing girl and knowing that makes it easier for her to be the catalyst to solving the mystery.

This is a beautifully written story that pulled me in and I thoroughly enjoyed the wild ride. I think this will be one of my favorite books for the year.

It’s a dark and stormy night as I write this review. We had 70 mph bursts of wind going through earlier and rain that is causing flash flooding in some areas. As I write, I can see the rain pattering on the windows and hear the low rumble of thunder in the distance. It’s supposed to do this most of the night.

Soon I will be cozy in bed with a book. What about you?

Happy Reading!

#FediCoven 2026 Q1 - For those who have a form of divination in their practice, does this indicate to you that the universe is predestined/deterministic?

Nnnno.

I believe in a potentially infinite universe of possibilities, so tbh I view divination as seeing possible paths / outcomes, some more probable than others. Divination is more like... seeing what will prob happen if u let stuffs continue as they are. 

I think that mostly, ppl do passive divination. "What will happen with the stuffs" and they accept. Active divination more intervention-ish? Like, u do it to try to shift things. 

And yesh, I think u can. 

So, I'm a little bit of a precog. I can't control it and I don't even always know that I'm doing it, but I've had ppl ( @VulpineDruid ) catch it BC she was super confused wtf I was talking abt... until it happened.

The weirdly is that by pointing it out, the original conversation we had about the thing that hadn't happened, didn't happen, but the thing did. So tho the "future" was our conversation, and the event, we changed the future by not having the convo as part of it. 

So... no predestiny!

#introduction time!

Hi, I'm Bea. I seem to be leading a highly squiggly life that's led me through a wild range of experiences, has, at this point been going on for Some Time, and fortunately shows no signs of stopping yet.

Currently, amongst other things, I'm a #coder, a #boater, a #music obsessive, and a #cat mama, plus I #parent a non-zero irrational number of other humans of various ages in this, my sandwich era.

I've also been a #soundEngineer, a #teacher, a professional #psychic, a #theatre technician, and so on. I'm a #Londoner, a lapsed #Glaswegian and a recovering #NewYorker.

I'd list more specifics, but honestly they change all the time; two of the rare constants in my life are #singing and #bass, though I'm increasingly surrounded by a constellation of strange instruments; physical and digital, musical and nautical.

I'm also a #vegan (for the animals) #trans shapeshifter practising #nonMonogamy, and am gay for girls of most genders and apparently now the occasional boy. If this feels like rubbing it in your face, feel free to move your face.

I have an overdeveloped sense of justice, but only compared to your average late capitalist human, and the kind of highly spicy brain you'd expect from, uh, well, all of the above.

I'm afraid things are likely only going to get weirder from here.

No TERFs, no SWERFs, no cops, no Tories (or any other forms of fascism).

Facebook & Twitter overflow with insights of remarkable Scots, mostly men. Challenged by spelling & grammar, they nonetheless have perfect x-ray insight into the marital communications of people they have not met

Thankfully, the psychics share their insights, so we don't miss out on anything. 😉

Because it needs to be said again:

Psychosis is not gnosis. Taking LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, salvia, or even alcohol and reinforcing those states with fictional, mythological narratives through ceremonial magic can cause a psychotic break. You are not magical. You are not enlightened. You have broken your brain. Psychosis has degenerative effects on your brain, so you are altering your brain in irreversible ways. I know this from experience.

My step-grandmother worked herself into such a drug-induced state of psychosis that, as a senior, she has to be heavily sedated, causing her to gain weight and become massively overweight, with her mind numb. That’s a whole other saga, but my step-grandmother held religious and esoteric beliefs, subscribing to conspiracy theories, and was a heavy drug user in her teens and young adult years, although she has been sober for almost 30 years. It permanently messed her up. We know she isn’t taking her meds when she is sharper; unfortunately, that means she is psychotic. We found out she needed to be heavily medicated when she attacked a police officer in my junior year of high school.

Again, you are not doing magic when you take drugs, force yourself to believe in things that are not real, and purposefully incubate a delusion, reinforcing this with ostension and pantomime via ceremonial magic and ritual. You are driving yourself insane and giving yourself brain damage that you will have to deal with as you get older. Once again, I am seeing the marauder and the extremely online occulture crowd drive themselves into a psychotic break because they believe that’s how you do magic.

Here’s what people need to remember: The conventional, modern definition of magic is that magic is changing reality in accordance with will. While I deeply abhor and despise Aleister Crowley and Thelema, I like that definition because it converges on the definition of art. It’s more of an affirmation of magic as an art that fits nicely with pragmatic theories of aesethics. Conventionally, art is the deliberate and willful manipulation of elements, channels, and mediums, so the modern definition meets the definition of art.

Personally, my style of magic and overall praxis has been influenced by things like “Art as an Experience.” From my perspective, magic is art, and art is a refined and heightened experience where the artist and the audience co-create an experience, thus initiating a magical operation. Essentially, there is no significant difference between a ceremonial magician and an actor playing out my favorite scenes in The Vampire Diaries universe. Crowley’s definition is merely a means to make the connection between art and magic more deliberate, although, counter-intuitively, he was trying to create a demarcation between stage and theatrical magic and ceremonial magic. Words cannot express how much that man repulses me. He was essentially a perverse and deviant sexual predator.

While I am not a chaote, post-modern art and surrealism are my favorite forms of art, so there is an intersection in some metaphysical points. It’s probably why I dislike modern and Solomonic magic so much. While we were in college, my husband was an extra in a lot of different supernatural dramas. We weren’t dating at that time. I had planned to put him in the friend zone. My roommate, who was supposed to pick me up from work that day, decided to throw a gay orgy instead, where I was picking up used condoms on the floor. I could not say anything to said roommate because we went to bathhouses together, so it would have been largely hypocritical. My now-husband took me to one of his shows in the city to get my mind off of that. He did that because he knows my temper is awful, and he knew I was plotting petty payback. I got to see my now husband work, and that was when I started to fall for him. I won’t go into any details because insane occultists have an issue of forming parasocial relationships, but let’s say that watching his performance is when I started to take interest in him.

What is art? A rock I found outside becomes art when I think it has an aesthetic quality, say it is art, pick it up, and exhibit it through displaying it as photography on my social media. So my appreciation and deliberate interaction with it as art is what makes it art. So, there is a link between modern definitions of magic and pragmatic ideas of art via intention and will. Magical potency is predicated on will. Compulsion, obsession, and addiction are the inability to willfully and deliberately control oneself, so they are inversely related to will. That means drug addiction, obsessions, and paranoia that emerge from mental illness, and psychosis cancel out your ability to do magic.

Magic isn’t psychosis. Gnosis is not psychosis.

After dealing with a screwy schizophrenic person for the last 3 and a half years – luckily, their insanity stopped – and recently dealing with an unmedicated schizophrenic, I did some reading into why they are so resistant to understanding that what they are believing is not real and that they are mentally ill. Apparently, it is slightly different than a person who is Bipolar who still has some level of insight.

The former person believed they were different from other schizophrenics because they had insight. Well, I did some reading and found that there is a positive correlation between positive symptoms and poor insight. If a schizophrenic person has more negative symptoms than positive symptoms, their insight is less likely to be poor than if they have positive symptoms. I do not think they understood their doctor properly because they were under the impression that having good insight made them different. No, a schizophrenic with a lot of negative symptoms probably will not have poor insight; however, when they experience positive symptoms, their insight becomes poor.

I know for a fact that the screwy person from DKMU mostly had negative symptoms, but they had auditory hallucinations. The terrifying thing about both these people is their lack of insight and their delusional thinking makes them violent.

Schizophrenics in the grip of positive symptoms are unable to differentiate their paranoid delusions from their illness and, at that moment, are more likely to act violently based on parasocial narratives. The truly scary thing is the person from DKMU has schizophrenia that is resistant to medication for their auditory hallucinations, so medications will only do so much for them. They have insidious onset schizophrenic symptoms, which are correlated with poorer outcomes. Her symptoms creep on her over the course of years. She doesn’t realize she has lost touch with reality until it is too late.

What do you do with chronically mentally ill people who are likely to be violent because of a lack of insight that can’t really be treated with medication? Fortunately, that person’s behavior has stabilized, so hopefully, they are working with their doctors or something. However, another schizophrenic person has flared up and fixated on me.

It’s the same thing, except they are attributing their hallucinations to psychic abilities and telepathy, which is being enabled by occult communities. One of their delusions is that I am telepathically harassing them by putting thoughts into their head about self-harm. That’s another common one. Many schizophrenic people believe that others can read their thoughts if they look them in the eye, so they do things like wear sunglasses.

We really need to stop calling obvious schizophrenia, manic delusions, and psychosis ‘unverified personal gnosis.’ A person whom I knew 15 years ago has persistent beliefs, regardless of facts, that they knew me in a past life and we made some pact to alter the future to save the world from Nazis. It’s insane, but everyone in the occult Discord is nodding their heads and validating it.

A delusion is a persistent belief regardless of facts. This person has dreams and hallucinations that they believe are gods, spirits, and telepathy. In these hallucinations and delusions, the spirits tell them who random strangers were in a past life. A lot of these delusions are obviously paranoid and inevitably roll into a conspiracy theory about Nazis. This is very terrifying. This means, based on a random occurrence with a person, they will create a parasocial narrative that manifests as them knowing this person.

Most schizophrenia delusions emerge from noise and thus have no actual information. You can uncover that it is a delusion by asking the person for details. For example, if they make a claim about remembering a past life in Egypt, you can do the equivalent of asking them who the President of the United States is now. I did that with this person. They were claiming to have known me and other people in a past life in Egypt 3000 years ago, so I looked up what was going on around that time. I asked them who the high priest was, who the pharaoh was, and what they remember happening around that time. All of it was wrong.

That caused most of that Discord to jump all over me and imply that it was fine because it was their personal gnosis. To be clear, this person is creating parasocial relationships and narratives based on delusional narratives that they are applying to random people they meet.

Phrasing things as they happened in a different reality or a past life is a way to avoid the falsification of and is a way to rationalize the delusion. Claiming that you knew a person in a past life is a way to justify the parasocial relationship. It is not unverified personal gnosis. It’s mental illness. There is nothing magical about mental illness. If I had a nickel for every time a schizophrenic occultist spun up a delusional narrative to justify an adversarial parasocial relationship with me, I’d be rich. This is a major problem.
