Dear Democrats. Please stop spamming me. Every text message I receive from a random phone number makes me less likely to support your candidates. Thanks.

So... Here's the thing. It's is likely that after Trump is out and Democrats will be back in, but they will try to get back to "normal" and discover that is impossible because of the damage this administration has done to infrastructure, institutions, norms, alliances, etc.

What you do becomes who you are which reinforces what you do. Don't wait to be who you want to become. Even if you aren't good at it at first, doing is the only path to being.

I think this comes from the argument that claims language sets humanity apart from animals and makes a god of language, "In the beginning was the word..." etc. Unfortunately "I have words" is the shallow philosophy of much of our culture.

Is Emanant Void Magick satanic? The Devil is the central path linking above and below, so I see why it might be seen as such, but this is the daemon, the creative spirit of agency. Christian monotheism has a tendency to make devils out of agency that isn't subjugated to their authority...

Lara has been providing graphics and illustrations for Operation Octarine and is the voice talking to you right now through your screen! (Hello! 👋😋) They’ll be presenting on an approach to pop culture magic inspired by magical girl animanga! #operationoctarine #chaosky #occultsky #witchsky

On an opalescent multicolored background, white translucent text boxes with black text read the following text introducing one of our organizers, Lara D.:

‘LARA D.
Organizer and Presenter, they/them

Also known as Lachan (לחן) in certain online and occult circles, Lara is a multi-disciplinary visual artist, community organizer, and seasoned ritualist hailing from New England. Their magical practice is eclectic—drawing inspiration and technique from chaos and ceremonial magic, popular culture, and various folk traditions—and is inextricably linked to their identity as a queer anti-Zionist Jew. Lara has over a decade of experience leading chaos magic workshops and group rituals with their partner and co-organizer, Nia Ain, and they are passionate about projects that utilize consent-based governance and distributed authority to foster diverse magical practices and individual agency.’

We have dubbed them "Mater" on account of all the tomatoes they've been eating. Mater is really cute and we can't actually keep up with the number of tomatoes we're getting this year!

The Devil binds Agent to Desire and Rebel further connects to Soul. This is a progression of growth, but these paths remain distinct. Devil is the formation of that desire which animates. It may also be thought of as daemon or genius. Rebel mixes desire, pure inspiration in the mud of the real.

Nia Ain @nia.covn.io · 10/08/2026

The Rebel connects Desire to Soul. The soul being created by the engagement of spirit with matter/body we find in the soul complexity that allows one to be in conflict with one's self/place/circumstance, everything that defines us. The Rebel is the result of this conflict.

Marjorie Cameron, what were you exploring here? The double loop like Crowley's swap of Star and Emperor, but no mention of Emperor? We have 12 major arcana, but not the ones normally associated to the zodiac? Is this hinting at Devil on the middle pilar and star as a cross path? #tarot #thelema

Just realized that in Emanant Void Magick The Star, 17 of the major arcana, joins spheres associated with primes 17 and 13... I've been studying surrealism. André Breton wrote "Arcanum 17" which is named for the star. He also wrote his initials as a stylized 17 13.
