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 (2008), and Manifesting Prosperity: A Wealth Magic Anthology was published in February 2008, which contains my essay “Strategic Magick”.

I’ve been the curator for SpiralNature.com since its inception in 2000, a columnist for Suite101.com in 2006, and founded Plutonica.net in 2007, an esoteric blog.
