vraic.wordpress.com/2025/09/28/t... Included in today's post is a #foundpoem that uses text from #Omens and #Superstitions of Southern India, published in 1912.

vraic.wordpress.com/2025/09/27/t... #poetry #poem I knew I was an artist when I was 5 years old. Becoming a poet took longer.

vraic.wordpress.com/2025/09/25/a... Every year I take some of the #art I made that year and make a #calendar for myself. #Zazzle always does a #gorgeous job. You can buy one of my #calendars, they will be #available for purchase to the end of the #year. #sale #2026calendar

Visual Poetry (Three Variations and a Name)

Needful #Magic, no. 63 - #Invocation for people who were insufficiently #mourned - not that guy mourned by the president, if you were mourned by a president, however incoherently, like whatever, you were sufficiently mourned. This is for Charles Rocket (his #death haunts me) and people like him.

I don't want to bite back my words anymore. I have been supportive. I have listened, attentively, respectfully. All my life, men required me to be their audience. Now I want to speak, but men don't want me to do that. It makes them uncomfortable or something, I really don't know what.

vraic.wordpress.com/2025/09/21/a... I decided to take advantage of the energy in the last day of #Ghost Month, so I split my #invocation of #autumnal #equinox #magick into a two-day #holiday. This is the first part.

Let's try this again... Here's the #sigil I devised for the #autumn #equinox. It will be part of the #magick included in my post at Vraicking on Monday. Same deal as the #asemic writing in my Needful Magic or Name series - you are welcome to use this in your own #art or #magic work.

vraic.wordpress.com/2025/09/18/i... You may have missed this bit of #mythopoeia. Pro tip: whenever I write about business at the GLP archives, I have donned the guise of the #UnreliableNarrator - it's fun, it's #fable and it helps me write.

Robert Redford. Iconic. Imperishable. That other guy who died recently? Who was shot? I wouldn't even remember his name, except idiots keep yammering about it.

Five Ghosts I was startled to hear the erudite Professor Justin Sledge, creator of the YouTube channel Esoterica, opine that nostalgia is depression. I appreciate his comment as an unsentimental insight into a rather sentimental subject, and it made me realize that I have at least one more post I…

vraic.wordpress.com/2025/09/12/l... This is probably the last post in my #GhostMonth series. I'm saving some of my #ghosts for #Halloween posts in #October. Early warning for my #art #calendar - it will be on sale in about two weeks. Stay tuned! #2026calendar

Gatekeepers of Aplionta Parratiskum This is a reminder that Ghost Day 2025, the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, is upcoming on September 6. Here in today's post we have the Geranium Lake Properties comic that appeared in newspapers on Ghost Day in 1990. I believe this is a totally…

Danse Macabre Today's post is not part of our series about Ghost Month, even though it may seem to partake of the same theme. "Ghosts are fun," Micaela Fuentes once told me. She was the ten-year-old daughter of a brief acquaintance. "Scary movies are fun." The Oureth is not that kind of fun. The…

Ourania/Oyurranua From number 54 of the Orphic Hymns: Ourania, illustrious, laughter-loving queen,sea-born, night-loving, of an awful mien; Crafty, from whom Ananke first came,producing, nightly, all-connecting dame1: 'Tis thine the world with harmony to join,for all things spring from thee, O…

Ghost Festival 1987 These two masks were undoubtedly created by Yost (with the fictional help of Alice Aroumbeyski - we should never forget Alice's influence as muse and mistress) for Ghost Day 1987. These portraits did not appear in newspapers. My first (and second) thought was there was no…

Indigenous Spirits For today's post in our Ghost Festival series, I am sharing a few pages that haunt myself as an artist. These are pages from my unfinished graphic novel, in which my muse reveals the three elements that constitute the chaotic trinity of my religion: abstract comics, asemic…

vraic.wordpress.com/2025/08/26/s... Another post in our #Ghost Festival series. Also how to talk to a #sphinx. A hidden #poem and why jackalopes invent stupid #calendars. A scrap of #asemic magic and #mythopoeia as always.

Existence existed before you, and will continue to exist long after you and everyone you know, everyone you love, everyone you hate, and your entire species are unremembered dust.

Minutes too late, I found this tag #makeaterriblecomicday2025 so if you already checked out the link in my last post: vraic.wordpress.com/2025/06/24/r... you can ignore this.

The residual mood of completing a work, whatever the chosen medium, is never a happy one. Not unhappy, and satisfaction comes later. It is a mixture of feelings achieved only in this way, a low point in the wake of the work flow, now stopped. #artist #process #melancholy

My offering for #ProjektSolarsigil is complete & posted at Vraicking, which is my tradition for casting #asemicmagic - also there's an (imperfect and way too long) essay that insisted on being written. #mythopoeia #solstice #asemic #OccultSky #ChaosSky #panopticon vraic.wordpress.com/2025/06/20/i...

Day 7 of #ProjektSolarsigil - The national weather service (not yet dismantled by the president but it's only a matter of time) has chosen 7:42 pm Pacific time on June 20th for the Solstice. The 2025 Santa Barbara Solstice Festival and Parade is June 20-22. #OccultSky #ChaosSky #asemicmagic #asemic

Ditto. You may chastise me for laziness but this says exactly what I feel. Maybe not "exactly" but pretty darn close. #projektsolarsigil

Coffee first. Coffee is needed right now. I can't have a coherent thought until #coffee.
