I was asked recently why I still #Blog about the kind of topics that #WitchSky, #OccultSky and #ChaosSky are interested in when the internet has moved on to a short form video format. My answer is simple. I do not create to chase trends, and my audience at theacceleratedchaote.com like to read.

Day 8 of my 31 days of spooky documentaries for #Halloween. And this one, from 1996 or so, is relatively unknown. It's a compilation of segments from another show, bundled together. Not bad though, still feels cohesive thanks to the narrator/host.

New feature at my author portfolio website. Something delightfully necromantic with a light biographical edge. Always going to be work in progress, but worth keeping an eye on as it grows. #MementoMori #WitchSky, #PaganSky, #OccultSky and #ForteanSky indeed.

Something a little more modern for my 31 days of old school #Halloween ghost documentaries this evening, hailing from 2006 or so. Still a good watch, #ParanormalSky, and one episode of a series that is easy enough to find online.

Day six of my 31 days of sharing old ghost documentaries ahead of #Halloween and it's time for a real classic, #ParanormalSky. BBC's 40 Minutes did a spooky special in 1989, and its as dated as it is endearing. Great fun, and worth the runtime too.

OK, so I was a little less active on #BlueSky last week, but my article for a certain online #Pagan space is now done, and sourced. Just going to give it my usual couple days break before looking at it again to spot any mistakes. Yes, I edit and re-edit until I am happy. Then I'll submit it early.

Ghosts? Ghosts. Day five of my plan to share a classic documentary on hauntings and spooks every day until #Halloween. This one is weirdly low energy for some reason, though works as a bit of a global ghost tour either way.

Been busy this #ForteanFriday, but didn't forget my plans to share 31 classic ghost documentaries, one a day until #Halloween. And I think both #ParanormalSky and #ForteanSky will get a kick out of this one. It's so delightfully twee.

Thankfully, so far, yeah. North Cardiff is pretty hilly, so we're a good way above sea level. Wettest city in the UK though, apparently, so there's always a build up of standing water and full drains. But we're used to it. Very different from London's non-weather when I was growing up for sure.

Looks like this #Autumn storm has knocked the last of the #Conkers off the trees in #Cardiff, #WitchSky. Taken a hell of a load of the leaves off too. And the covered rivers, each surviving despite town planning led sewer grate downgrades, are running wild with hillside swell.

Day two of my 31 days of sharing old #Ghost #Documentaries ahead of #Halloween, and it's a 1999 Discovery Channel production that, based on this VHS rip, once aired on the UK's Channel5. It's worth watching for the turn of the Millennium tech alone, #ParanormalSky.

Updates and such. Currently knee deep in a writing project for a major online #Pagan space, and the research for that is taking up a good chunk of my time. Playing #StoneShard and watching the last couple seasons of #Supernatural too, so not online as much as usual. Still here, though. Just busy.

Right then. We made it to #October, and all goes to plan I've created a playlist with enough ghost documentaries from various decades to share one a day, every day until #Halloween. Day one then? An ode to the ever shifting bowels of old #London town of course.

In the mood for some #SatanicPanic today. Of special note here #OccultSky, aside from the hippies, is the self appointed journalist sitting disrespectfully on the altar stone at #Stonehenge at around four minutes in, while admonishing those who once worshipped there.

As an #Author I've long advocated that my fellow #Pagans actually #Write if they can. Yes, finding an outlet can be tricky, but #Blogs still exist and remain valid. My number one tip? Just get started. Narratives and structure can't form unless you're typing. It is organic, like sculpting with clay.

Just watched a #Crow drop a mouse into my garden, hop around poking at it until it was sure it was dead, then fly it back to its nest in the trees over the back. Didn't have my camera handy for that, but it did remind me of one of my #TikTok videos from last year, #WitchSky. This one was a squirrel.

... home. The endless article ideas, long hours writing words that will form my legacy like burial shroud graffiti inked in sleepless nights. Some will likely respect the hustle, others think I am being dramatic. But the need to write is part of my #Pagan practice, so in such duality I dwell. (3/3)

Being both an author and #Magickian is dipped in duality. I've always approached the #Occult like main protagonist of my own narrative. Which is healthy. But as a writer I have a need to share that narrative. Also, healthy as long as what is shared is useful. But the darker aspect comes ... (1/3)

Busy gathering up various sources for an article pitch that has just been accepted by a major #Pagan publication today, so forgot this #BookReview was going live at my #Portfolio overnight, #WitchSky. Worth a quick read though for sure.

A little ritualistic something something from my archive of published work. A practical use for #Blood, #Pain and #Necromancy in trying times. Definitely not a first or even second resort, but useful when the Gutter Mage needs to share the #Hate for sure.

What was that? Did someone say #ForteanFriday then, #ForteanSky? Well why not a real #UFOSky classic then? No matter your opinions on Erich Von Daniken, and the quality of his research, you can't deny he was a pioneer of the genre.

So it's twelve years old now, but some of you likely missed it back in the day. Grant Morrison's #ChaosMagick adjacent talk at #DisinfoCon2000 set to the soundtrack it always deserved by #PlanetDamage. Still listen to this version from time to time, helps me think.
