Writing

.

How to write, except as a usually chaste woman getting undressed for an orgy?
-–Georges Bataille, The Absence of Myth

I wrote the Origins column for Tarot World Magazine , and Manifesting Prosperity: A Wealth Magic Anthology was published in February 2008, which contains my essay “Strategic Magick”.

To enquire about soliciting me to write for your publication or website, send an e-mail to nico [at] nicomaramckay [dot] net with the details (remove nospam from the address).
