Wednesday, June 24, 2026: 5:51 AM: I woke around 4:45 AM with every intention of getting out for my walk at sunrise. But something didn’t feel right as I was getting ready. So, here we are.
I need to hit Hayek’s Market for some stuff I ran out of, and I’ll be walking there, like I do every place else in this town. Besides, isn’t buying the fruit and such that I need, and then carrying it roughly nine tenths of a mile home enough exercise for one day?

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.
