Two of the longest books in my occult collection are Agrippa’s Three Books of Occult Philosophy and Manly P. Hall’s The Secret Teachings of All Ages, the first of which clocks in at just a mere 1024 pages.

Now… Three Books of Occult Philosophy—for me at least—isn’t the type of book you just sit down and read cover to cover. It’s something you use as a reference book when necessary and just go through a particular section. Of course, since it’s three books, does it really count as one long book? Surely it does.

And with The Secret Teachings of All Ages… I haven’t actually read it. I’ve listened to it as an audiobook. It’s 28 hours long, but I’ve made my way through the entire thing at least once.

That counts, right?

Good morning and happy Monday, friends!

I hope you’re all laboring on this fine Labor Day.

New M3 Episode: Stacey Williams-Ng, Sacred Space, and Southern Soul
New Highlights: Kamden Cornell, Poppet Magic, and On Pins and Needles

This past week, I’ve been practicing my bed surfing skills. Or maybe a better term would be bed skiing?

No, no… for real.

We got our new mattress delivered. Nobody told us that memory foam arrives rock hard and needs to be broken in over several weeks. To accelerate that process, I’ve been taking short walks on the bed—or sometimes pretending that I’m surfing or skiing.

It’s having an effect! Or at the very least, I have convinced myself it’s having an effect. And now I perceive the mattress as slightly softer than it was a few days ago.

After all my fun carving runes in stones, I decided to expand it to an entire set. I’m still working on ironing out some of the kinks, but we’ll see where it goes when I have some time.

I managed to get a new episode of M3 out on schedule and a new writeup of an older episode. For your viewing pleasure, go watch!

And my biggest accomplishment over this past week: my YouTube channel has now achieved partnership status. It’s been quite a long road to get here… and honestly I was about ready to give up. About a month ago, YouTube announced that the requirements to join would double in February (from 4000 annual watch hours to 8000), which put a rather obnoxious countdown timer in my head. I made a Facebook post a few weeks ago asking friends for help to reach that goal… and we’ve succeeded! So… thank you everyone!

Over on The Occult Rejects, we streamed a fun conversation about FinalSpark, a strange company that is trying to turn neurons into computers. Crazy stuff!

At some point I made vegetarian burrito bowls with spicy black beans and cilantro lime rice. Turned out pretty well.

Selene and I have been watching a lot of terrible movies lately. I mentioned Backrooms a couple of weeks ago. Since then, we’ve also watched Jurassic World: Rebirth and The Whisper Man. Heck, last night we even watched (well, re-watched) Signs because we couldn’t remember that it was terrible. All awful movies. Any suggestions on what we should watch next?

On Saturday, we stopped by the old Wellington Mall and hung out for a little bit. Craziest place. It’s like a 1970’s time capsule.

Where else can you encounter strange rainbow horses?

That’s all for now, my friends. Stay tuned for more soon!

I am getting so tired of white nationalists, facists and even outright nazi's trying to claim my nordic heritage, background and culture as their own.

Hávamál opens not with blood but with hospitality to the unknown traveler, because the stranger at your door might be Odin checking how you treat someone with nothing to offer you.

A mysterious runic spear survived for centuries until the Nazis seized it during World War II. The original vanished forever, leaving only replicas behind.

Someone has posted a sign next to the main road at Danvikstull with a long runic text that consists of a repeating seven-character sequence. It's a mix of real Viking Period and post-1100 runes and an upside down G. It seems like they have tried to write HREÖGNT, which seems nonsensical.

Everyone is tired. Weekly Recap 6/15/2026

After reconnecting with many friends this past weekend, it seems the general consensus is that folks are low on evergy.

To the common question of “how are you?” or “how have you been?” the overwhelming response was: “tired.”

So yeah. By and large, I think we are all dealing with a little bit extra in 2026. And one way we’re all growing? Is learning how to cope with it.

Good morning and happy Monday, friends!

We’re back from festival! After driving through a pretty crazy (although typical for Florida) thunderstorm, we arrived safely at home from Orlando around 7:00pm last night.

Most of this past week was spent either studying or preparing for my workshop, so I’ll just start off on Thursday. Oh, and fair warning: this update seems to contain an inordinate number of pictures of me. So be it!

We pulled up at the Summer Magick Fest hotel close to 8:00pm on Thursday. We unfortunately missed opening ritual and the meet and greet, but we were still able to say hello to a few folks!

I took tons of pictures. You can expect to see more of them later this week (or perhaps next week) when I do a full Summer Magick Fest recap post. For now, just a quick preview!

I sold some books and signed some books 🙂

On Friday, I taught a class on runes. It was titled: “Reading the Runes: From Philology to Practical Magick.” And I think it was well received!

Here’s what I look like teaching.

Although I failed to mention it during the presentation, I will post my workshop slides within the next day or two if anyone is interested.

After that, we snuck off and had dinner with my cousin. Now… I’m sharing this as much for you as I am for future me to reference: we went to a restaurant in Orlando called Budsaba Thai and my food was delicious. Spectacular, actually. It was just a mere ~30ish minute drive from our hotel.

On Saturday, I finally got to meet Christopher Penczak.

I have definitely mentioned this before, but he wrote the foreword to my book and has been a guest on my show twice. It was great to finally meet him in person!

Okay, I may have discovered that I enjoy feather boas.

This particular boa was actually intended for a Rocky Horror costume, but we forgot about it… so it became part of my ritual garb. You see the shirt? It says “sarcasm.” We were supposed to dress as our divine spark.

On Sunday morning, we took attended on of Amber Rae’s workshops and painted with watercolors.

In comparison to other people’s, I can see that many did observably better. But you know what they say? Comparison is the thief of joy! I looked at this painting and was happy with it… and that’s not something I say very often.

And then all too soon, it was over. I guess it’s become a tradition that we use Disney Springs as a portal back to the real world. Food helps ease the transition, so… here’s some bangers and mash!

Always wish we had a full buffer day between festival and the dreaded Monday of the real world, but… well, we’re here! And we’re pushing through.

As soon as I get all of these pictures synced, I’ll start working my recap post. I promise, there’s lots more to share.

That’s all for now, friends. Stay tuned for more soon!

Ear to the Irminsul

A bit about a battle, a Rune and a memory. Maybe.

I’ve done a tracing of the Vadstena bracteate and ordered it printed on a pillow case.

A boyhood memory. Tried to read the runes on Thrór's map in "The Hobbit", unaware that they are fictional dwarf runes, cirth. Made no sense, and several runes weren't even in any of the Nordic futharks.

But there was one recurring word: PSO. This, I later learned, was actually the English word THE.

In 1873 a fallen runestone was found near Linköping at a Viking Period mound cemetery that had been badly messed up by various industrial buildings. People dragged the stone onto one of the surviving mounds and erected it there. We saw it on a walk earlier today.

It's an important site because it's right next to a major Medieval bridge, and the graves probably belong to the hamlet of Stång that lent its name to the little river Stångån.

Why didn't this occur to me sooner? A really easy way to clean up messy pyrographic work is simply to sand it down! After a few minutes of 150, 220, and 400 grit, it's much more consistent and legible. Go on, guess what it says. #OldNorse #runology #runes #futhark

Today's divination pull:

Fortune from the Thoth Deck, signifying constant change
Berkano of the Elder Futhark, the rune of the birch
Mannaz of the Elder Futhark, the rune of humanity
Thurisaz of the Elder Futhark, the rune of the giant

This divination reminds us of the importance of embracing the constant tide of change that defines existence & how we can better navigate it. It begins with Fortune, representing the constant turning of the wheels of reality. Change will come, the question is what we do about it.

Today's divination pull:

The Magus from the Thoth Deck, signifying empowerment
Os of the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc, the rune of speech
Reið of the Younger Futhark, the rune of travel
Sol of the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc, the rune of the sun

This divination suggests what tools are necessary for bringing much-needed changes to existing conditions. It begins with the Magus, which represents empowerment through the pursuit of knowledge. These journeys bring about profound changes through the process & end result.

A recent rune casting. Eihwaz, Mannaz, Hagalaz. We exist ever between order and chaos, a balance that cannot be tipped without consequence.Such is existence that it requires a necessary demise which we may mistake for conclusion rather than an essential ground of transformation.

Today's divination pull:

The Sun from the Thoth Deck, signifying clarity
Hagall of the Younger Futhark, the hailstone rune
Reið of the Younger Futhark, the rune of travel
Bjarkan of the Younger Futhark, the rune of the birch

This divination suggests the paths which lie ahead are clear to all, the only question is if we will brave the hardships ahead. The Sun begins as a symbol of illumination. In the Thoth Deck, the Sun dispels shadow & reveals truth.
