The Magician is the guiding archetype of MAGIC MAKER, because they are the bridge between realms. They turn Creative Force into intentional form, and use their magic to make the immaterial material.

MAGIC MAKER is out TOMORROW, and I can’t wait for you to read it!

Thrilled to reveal the glorious cover for my new book, MAGIC MAKER: THE ENCHANTED PATH TO CREATIVITY. My intention for this tome is to help you supercharge your own creativity using magical techniques, as so many visionaries have done throughout history (and as I do myself). Out Oct 14!

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care.

They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

Clive Barker gets it.

faroutmagazine.co.uk/hellraiser-c...

Noting Rowling’s vast financial success, Barker felt that Rowling’s newfound position of fame ought to exclude her from discussing trans rights. He added, “It really just seems redundant for a woman as successful, as validated in the world, as Ms Rowling, to be negative, to be disruptive if you will, to a very beaten up subculture. These are human beings. She has no right to opine, I think, upon the lives of human beings that she does not know.”

“I feel very protective of people who are on the edge of our culture as gay people still are,” Barker continued. “And certainly transgender people are on the edge of our culture. And here you have one of the most successful people in the frigging world – Ms Rowling. Going after a very emotionally vulnerable portion of our culture. It just seems unnecessary and unfair.”

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Loved talking to #MitchHorowitz on The Witch Wave about his dual roles as an occult historian & practitioner, why self-expression & true desire are the keys to effective spellcasting, & how his belief in “anarchic magick” has led him to a happier & more fulfilling life: youtu.be/NYmlIEMmIJU?...

Spoke with @mitchhorowitz.bsky.social about the hoodoo roots of The Dixie Cups' "Iko Iko," @phantasmaphile.bsky.social, comics creator Steve Ditko, & how a practice as simple as knocking on wood shows humility toward the "strange bargains" we strike with the natural world.
