Magicians have treated imagination as a way to enter visionary spaces, call forth spirits, charge symbols, etc. I'll explore imagination as a serious magical faculty, tracing its role in ritual and placing it in conversation with Jung’s work on psyche. Tickets still available in person and online!

My newest treasure! The most pristine copy I've ever seen of the original 1801 edition of *The Magus.* Previously owned by Montague Summers, a British clergyman known for serious writings on witches, vampires, and werewolves. I will be selling another copy of the 1801 Magus, previously acquired.

For the first time, I put all of my "magic books owned by Jung" collection together in one spot. Many are the exact same editions he owned. Some are modern reprints and/or translations. The collection filled way more space than I expected! 😄

Book writing is going well! Finished my broad overview of the 19th century British occult revival--a challenging balancing project between "say just enough that Jungian readers will have context" vs. "say enough that esotericists won't sneer." Now to do the same thing for France & Germany!

To establish a gym routine, "very large me" had to say "THE HELL WITH WHAT ANYONE THINKS, I'M DOING THIS FOR ME." Working on a book, I've been paralyzed by "What will others think?" Now scheduling a daily writing hour, saying "THE HELL WITH WHAT ANYONE THINKS OF THIS BOOK, I'M DOING THIS FOR ME!"

Synchronicities can produce the crack in our consciousness that expands our choices, our capacities and our consciousness of the divine. These mysterious moments go beyond our ego consciousness & open us to the sacredness of being a part of something larger than we are.~Laurence Hillman, Alignments

So many today, including people within my own discipline, are only seeing the "worst case scenario" when it comes to artificial intelligence. I'm excited to see my chapter published in this important work discussing AI's many implications for psyche!

Another exact edition of a magic-related owned by Jung (well, in this case a precise replica of the edition he owned). This set is no longer considered current scholarship in many ways, but it’s still important to see what sources Jung was working with.

I'm presenting this morning at the John Whitmer Historical Association conference. Critics have cited Joseph Smith's earliest court hearings for scrying as evidence against him, misunderstanding how these statutes targeted the lower classes, while the elite were doing the same things. #JohnWhitmer

Another acquisition for my collection of exact editions owned by C. G. Jung. This is the only copy of the 1929 edition I’ve ever seen, so I’m glad to find it!

At my heaviest, I weighed 453 pounds. I got down to 429, and then started seriously tracking (which means my updates are just from there). I set a goal to weigh under 300 pounds by my birthday (today). I MADE IT! 😁

Not everybody needs to be a strawberry. There’s room for cranberries in this world too. You can be weird and sour and only tolerated by people around the holidays because they grew up with you. I know you can. You can be fun when mixed with enough vodka. I believe in you. You can live in a bog.

About a month ago, I posted about the clipping I took from a certain lilac bush planted in the early 1840s by a famous person. Lilac is notoriously difficult to propegate. Of the six clippings I tried to start, ONE ROOTED! Now it just needs to start growing new leaves!

This was not a costume. Every element—red brocade, black cravat, pentacle pin, black skirt—was chosen for embodiment. I showed up as the magician I am: queer, grounded, and sovereign. To those still learning how to show up in your own skin: the path opens when you stop asking for permission.
