Friday, June 26, 2026: 3:51 PM: As I sat down with my 37 year old classical guitar, inspecting it to see why the D string was constantly breaking, I was amazed at the fury that suddenly flared within me. However, upon reflection, I guess it really shouldn’t surprise me.
What was once a Hobbie got turned into something that should never have been, which was an attempt at income. As time went on, music simply became just another source of frustration.
And, of course, other people’s involvement simply compounded things even further. I will get back into it again but this time it will be without outside interference of any kind.

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.
