Wednesday, September 23, 2026: 8:58 PM: I’m told by my doctor’s office that a slip for another lipid panel will be available for me to download in twenty-four hours. Funny! They didn’t say anything about the Invitae Familial Hypercholesterolemia Panel. But, given that the office can’t even get my name right half the time, even when messaging through MyChart, it doesn’t surprise me. I need to dig deeper into the notes and such from my last office visit, too, because it looks with my screen reader like they’ve decided I’m six foot five now, as well. But… “We shall see.”

A resident of Newtonian Gardens in New Jersey, he is a witch in the nontraditional sense: an explorer of consciousness, meditation, dreams, intuition, manifestation, and the strange territory where inner experience meets everyday reality. Accepting claims solely on the authority of a teacher, book or tradition isn’t in his DNA. His approach is experimental rather than prescriptive: he tries various techniques, observes what happens, journals, questions, and adjusts his practice accordingly. For him, witchcraft is a conscious practice of working with attention, intention, language, and intuition to explore personal transformation. He writes honestly about that ongoing experiment, sharing successes, failures, doubts, surprises, and unanswered questions here. He does not claim absolute answers as to what an experience means.
