The migration of spirits
I don’t believe in ghosts - I thought, as I lit a cigarette and temporarily blinded myself with the sudden flame of the lighter. ‘Ghost’ is too broad a term to believe in. Some people consider it to be the remnant of a memory, others say it’s the whole of a soul that’s failed to find peace; the definitions go on and on, and never wholly define the term. Give me a...

Psychic or Magick? Psybermagick Psychick Psykik...
What if acts of magick were really external rituals to set off internal cascades? What if all magick were merely a front for psychic talents that were otherwise difficult to trigger?

Raise my hackles, raise my shields
I have learnt to raise my shields in different ways depending on my energetic environment, the perceived threat and of course, depending on how I feel. I use stealth shields, glossy, frictionless shields, spiky aggressive attacking shields, solid blocking shields, repulsive rebound shields and multi-layered elemental shields. But regardless of how I shape, hone and imagine my psychic shielding,...
