There's a post of a tweet saying that every 31st of the month should be a Halloween, and you know what? I'm a Halloween Witch. I'm an Idolater. I'm an urban techno witch who lives an air conditioned life, can't stand nature bigger than a park or local landscaping, and hates leaving the city except to drive to another damn city.
I have been struggling to connect to the Wheel of the Year or the Solstices/Equinoxes for freaking years.
But a cycle of Halloweens?
That.
That I can fucking do.
So, without further ado, I present the shit I will be actually celebrating. Ya don't have to join me, but I will be posting about it for those that wanna follow along, with options and cutouts for those who don't want to or can't do the more party elements.
With luck, I'll pick up on August 31st and go from there, if not, I'll start with actual Halloween.
October 31st
It's muthafucking Halloween. I have ideas and will post about them more as we get closer, but you know what this one is.
December 31st
This one actually also exists, but I have plans for tying it to the January 31st one to bookend the year. The primary purpose of this Eve is gratitude and sharing the good things from the year before, casting off the trappings of the old year, and to bring the new one in with luck and prosperity.
January 31st
One month from the casting out of the old year, it's time to set things for the new. Cleansing and cleaning, setting intentions (not resolutions) for the year to come, making the Mask of the Year to call on who I aspire to be, burning the intentions set last year with last years candle, and blessing a candle to burn this years intentions next year are all features. Food and drink suggestions available when I actually post this up.
March 31st
Couple of these have fun names, and this is one of them. It's a party holiday, involving a picnic and a special cake/cupcakes/muffins.
The costume element is that I'll swap clothes or looks with someone I'm celebrating with (or dress up as someone else if celebrating solo).
There's a drinking element (non-alcoholic is fine) that results in a stack o' good luck charms.
And for my trick, I can and will sing the filthiest songs, tell the dirtiest jokes, read a romance novel or erotica, just go ham on the bawdy shit.
Alternatives for ace and non-sexing folk will be forthcoming in the relevant post, but it's my damn Wheel and I'm doing bawdy shit for myself.
May 31st
Not a bonfire person, but I'm definitely gonna have a cookout and grill up some burgers! Also a neat drink and cookies that both double as offerings!
Flower masks and crowns are involved to hide from the spring spirits that might fux me upa.
There's a Blessing Bouquet that goes up early, is used to exorcise and re-bless my property/house, and then is ceremonially burned.
An ash blessing to seal the prosperity into my house ties the whole thing off.
July 31st
This one pretty heavily revolves around a ritual game of betting and chance that I came up with based on a cool concept tied into the holiday I'm aiming at. Game generates lucky candy and a good luck charm.
Hella apples involved including a ceremonial apple and cider. Veils worn for the blindness of luck, and a strong theme of having a game day.
August 31st
I'm actually pretty stoked for this one, and will do a more expansive post on it later this week. I really hope I can pull this together in time this year.
Idea is a bit Opposite Day, a bit of LiarWeen vibe.
Trick the cosmos into taking away the bad shit and giving me good shit through a ritual lying ceremony, wearing a mask of duality to further confuse the issue. Ritual ash anointing to lock things down and ensure I get the stuff I want and ward off the shit I got rid of.
Candy (obvs) but I (and anyone celebrating with me) has to ask, and the person giving it has to make a point of saying no...while forking over.
And of course, games like Never Have I Ever or Two Truths & A Lie, drinking optional. (I will...probably...drink. Just saying.)
Wheel has eight Sabbats, yeah?
In the grand tradition of the Satanist/Luciferian practices I stuck with for so long, Number 8 is my Birthday.
Or yours, if you decide to try this.
I'll decide what I wanna do about Birthday when I get there. You do you, tho.
So yes, some of those are closer to recognizable Sabbats. Some of them are so far off that they're not in the same neighborhood. Spoiler: the ones you don't recognize are based (very, very loosely) on Roman festivals that occur in the corresponding month.
Cause they had a religious festival for everything, there's records I can squint at, and they had a strong mystery tradition that plays well with my schtick.
I am not a dedicated Rome fanby, to be clear, the empire is just very much gone, very well attested, and I can most likely swipe the shape of their shit without worrying about stepping on anyone.
And even then, I'm mixing time periods, even up to hijacking Medieval Xtian shit where and when I see fit. Cause I was baptized Catholic, and that shit is my culture to use.
And of course, feel free to reach out for asks, questions, and readings if ya want 'em.

A large sigil representing the universe, symbolism under the read more.
Inside to outside and going clockwise, the symbols are as follows:
Radiation*
Water, Fire, Air
Magnetism, Forge (Personal interpretation: combustion / heat + pressure), Electricity*
Day, Carbon*, Oxygen*, Hydrogen*, Helium*, Sulfur, Night, Iron, Nitrogen*, Neon*, Magnesium, Silicon*
* While alchemical symbols represent aspects and elements of chemistry, alchemy was a very early form of chemistry and doesn't have symbols for everything. These symbols were made based off of personal interpretation, symbolism (helium based off of sun and air), or parts from another symbol (electricity being taken from part of copper which is known for its conductive properties).
Altogether, the inner ring of the sigil represents the constant flow of energy in space, taking place as the core of a star. The points on the star represent the passage of time and the fundamental elements that form the universe as we know them, the same elements that also make up and support life.
This sigil represents the following:
Life, death, space, and time
Any cosmic entity such as a planet, sun, etc.
Energy and the generation of energy (spell boosting, etc.)
Channeling cosmic energy
This sigil is meant to be charged by any of the processes in the center circle (aside from radiation outside of a safe form, of course) and used as a focus in cosmic spellcraft or worn by astrotheists!
Cartomancy
A tarot styled divination method using standard playing cards. This oracle first appeared in Europe in the 14th century and is still used sporadically today. Practitioners of this divination are commonly called cartomancers. Cards can be laid in a variety of spreads and functions much like a tarot deck. As such, cartomancy decks should be designated and regarded with all the respect of a deck of tarot cards. The meanings of the cards are as follows:
⢠Ace: Love, beginning, happiness, friendship
⢠King: Fair-haired man, affectionate and generous, but impetuous
⢠Queen: Fair-haired woman, trustworthy
⢠Jack: Fair-haired young person, good friend
⢠10: Good fortune, joy
⢠9: Desires fulfilled
⢠8: Invitations/partings
⢠7: Someone unreliable
⢠6: Unexpected good fortune, generosity
⢠5: Jealousy, indecision
⢠4: Changes, travel
⢠3: Need for caution
⢠2: Friendship, success
⢠Ace: Harmony, property, achievement, love
⢠King: Dark-haired man, honest, open
⢠Queen: Dark-haired woman, strong, helpful
⢠Jack: Reliable friend
⢠10: Fortune, abundance
⢠9: New romance
⢠8: Opposition, danger of recklessness
⢠7: Prosperity, potential romantic interference
⢠6: Business success
⢠5: Help from a friend/partner
⢠4: Bad change of fortune
⢠3: Good partnership
⢠2: Disappointment and opposition
⢠Ace: Money, a ring
⢠King: Fair-haired man, stubborn
⢠Queen: Fair-haired woman, flirty, witty
⢠Jack: A relative, unreliable
⢠10: Journey, wealth
⢠9: Financial opportunity, surprises
⢠8: Declarations of love
⢠7: A gift
⢠6: Reconciliation
⢠5: Successful meeting
⢠4: Change for the better, an inheritance
⢠3: Domestic/legal battles
⢠2: Important love affair
⢠Ace: Conflict, infidelity, stress
⢠King: Dark-haired man, successful, ambitious
⢠Queen: Dark-haired woman, seductive
⢠Jack: Dark-haired youth, well meaning
⢠10: Grief, despair, imprisonment
⢠9: Bad luck, delays, quarrels
⢠8: Disappointment
⢠7: Possible loss of friendship
⢠6: Improvements
⢠5: Anxiety, setbacks, interference
⢠4: Jealousy, business troubles
⢠3: Bitter parting
⢠2: Scandal, gossip, deceit
Note: You may choose to include the joker to represent folly, new beginnings, the Universe and to also signify the person receiving the reading.
Bonus: Using Playing Cards to Detect Baneful Magick
This technique relies on reading either red or black cards and nothing else. It can technically be used to answer any yes/no question.
Shuffle the deck and ask, "have I been hexed or cursed?" -while you are shuffling. When ready, stop shuffling and deal out five cards in a row, face down. Then one by one, left to right, turn them over. Black indicates a 'no' response, while red indicates 'yes'. You can see the degree of the curse by the presence of red cards. All black is a clear 'no' and all red is a clear 'yes'. The spread can be read as follows:
5 Black -Â 0 Red: No curse or negative energy present
4 Black - 1 Red: Blip of dark energy, natural defenses can ward it off
3 Black - 2 Red: Dark energy present, possible jinx
2 Black - 3 Red: Sufficient dark energy, possible hex, cleanse immediately
1 Black - 4 Red: Significant harmful magick present, likely hex or curse. Do a purification/protection ritual
0 Black - 5 Red: Curse confirmed, take serious action to uncross/cleanse/protect. Someone has intentionally tried to harm you with magick.

Using a purple candle for communication with Draco as I mull over a potential promotion (Iâm on the fence on if I want it).
I also have a piece of charoite for clarity before action, a bell for good luck, and a dragon for protection.

When dealing with aggregate layers of energetic composites, information can become very dense and complex. This is why visualization isnât effective at all in this stage. That, and the amount of information that is required to have an awareness of cannot be captured by visualization. Other than energetic awareness, it is crucial to have a thorough understanding of a few concepts. Firstly, energetic composites can be measured similar to spectrographs. Each independent frequency is identifiable. These frequencies, when studied individually and in amalgam, can be connected to each compositeâs energetic properties.Â
Due to the complexity of the nature of complex energy work, the mind can reach points where information is difficult to keep track of. These gaps can easily be filled with indirect data, which could heavily influence the objectivity of the working. This is why practice, notes and regular comparisons to workings are crucial.Â
The subtle body is a collection of super dense, stable, tethered energetic nodes. Each point is Conductive, Adiabatic, Enthalpic, and Refractive. These nodes modify and are modified by all the energy that cycle through the whole system. If not directly, then transitively. Not all conduits, or tethers, exist within the same spatial dimension. This becomes increasingly important to understand as a practitioner begins using the more interconnected hyper-dimensional nodes for energy work. That being said, the upper dimensional points are significantly difficult to find due to their dimensional phase. However, their location can be explored by paying close attention to minor fluctuations of the modulations and fluctuations of the systemâs energetic states via the transference between each individual node.   Â
Energy is most commonly referred to as having properties within very human perspectives and concepts. Things like âprosperityâ or âprotectionâ, these are intentions that can be programmed into energy and not inherent properties to any existing energies. The only exceptions to this would be energies that are derived from divine or spiritual sources. Physical objects have energies without any native intentions. Slight intentions can be left in objects via interactions with people. These properties are purely how energetic composites interact.Â
Infinite: Regardless of the amount of energy absorbed or released the sum amount of energy does not change within a composite.
Insulative: Resists the transference of isolated frequencies.
Conductive: Low resistance to frequency transference.Â
Inductive: Attracts further energetic frequencies into the composite.
Thermal: Has frequencies that equalize into the environment without losing potency or affect within the composite.
Direct Current: Multiple frequencies in a composite transmits to another relative location, creating identical propagations.Â
Alternating Current: Frequencies within two composites alternate information bi-directionally in an oscillatory fashion.Â
Entangled: Discrete connections between two composites irrelevant of their relative positions in space or time.
Tethered: A direct circuit between two or more stable composites.
Spin: The degree of self-reference between two overlapping frequencies.
Inert: A composite that does not interact with other composites in the surrounding environment.
Charge: The volume of frequencies within a composite.
Attractive: Compounds the volume of surrounding self-similar frequencies within a distance relative to initial density. Â
Repulsive: Repels individual self-similar frequencies, lessening its overall volume.Â
Unstable/reactive: Compounds with chaotic or discordant composites easily.Â
Metastable: Regardless of interactions, the properties and substituent frequencies within the composite do not change.
Bistable: Composites that oscillate between two distinct states that are triggered by interactions with other composites.
Adiabatic: Properties change without a gain or loss of volume or density.
Isentropic: Adiabatic, but the composite returns to its initial properties.
Cyclical: Frequencies within the composite fluctuate between several different states in a cyclical manner.
Enthalpic: Becomes Thermal when under pressure from near or connected composites.Â
Negentropic: The composite always returns to its initial state in terms of frequencies and properties without any observable influence.:Â
Refractive: When it interacts with other composites, it splits the composite into two different composites or frequencies.Â
All energy is information. All psychic abilities involve obtaining or manipulating information. Of course, this only applies to real psychic abilities, which omits: telekinesis, pyrokinesis, and other psychic abilities of fantasy and science fiction. By using combinations of energetic awareness and understanding energetic properties, it is possible to use energy work to boost psychic abilities.
Telepathy: All thoughts release energy through the brain's magnetic field. These wave consist of alpha, beta, and gamma radiation- in trace amounts, of course. These waves, like all things, are composed of complex compounds of energetic composites. While the types of radiation tell us the type of frequency that thoughts predominantly exist within, it doesnât quite tell us the contents of the thoughts. Each wave release is composed of unique quanta on energies that fall within those three classifications. By tapping into Kimeya & Taoyita senses, it is fairly easy to start translating these fluctuations in radiation. Clairvoyance: Amplifying clairvoyance relies entirely on Taoyita, the fractal energetic sense and astral projection. To give a boost to clairvoyance, zoom out as far as possible, then transfer into a projection. Use that projection to manipulate the scope of your fields, which is a lot simpler in the pure energetic body. Anything within that scope becomes knowable. Observable. All that is left to do is to hone in on the proper composites.Â
Claircognizance: Unlike other psychic abilities, boosting this one is an entirely internal process. Rather than manipulating the range of perception, it's a matter of tuning your own connection points to the same frequencies as the information that is sought after, by matching the frequencies of said information.Â
Starting with a sphere, the simplest construct to maintain, divide the construct into two independent structures. Do this without altering the form, density, or size. Think of it as the sphere going through mitosis. Move the spheres so that they are orbiting your body in different orbital paths and velocities. Once this can be accomplished, divide each sphere in two. Repeat this process to the highest quantity that can be managed. When a minimum of 32 constructs can be comfortably maintained, move onto more complex constructs. Start with simpler forms, like the platonic solids. The next step is to have each object transform into a different shape as it is born. You know youâve mastered this skill once in control of 64 individual forms with variety in form, density, and size comfortably.
Once youâve gotten this far in your practice, it becomes very possible to create constructs that are miles in diameter. Maybe even hundreds of miles. However, once you get this large, visualization stops being effective, even as a mould.This is because of the relative frame of reference. It is difficult for the human mind to accurately depict and maintain the amount of information required, even for someone with hyperphantasia. For this, you'll rely solely on energetic senses. Making constructs this large will require all of the senses. In order to maintain them during construction, theyâll need to be fed energy and maintained in concentration the entire time before it is anchored. To do this, create several conduits to the wellsource to points on the construct that are connected to the highest number of variables and create a circuit within the construct.Â
Energy naturally has a short half-life, however if an energy is anchored but the anchor isnât known or located it is still possible to diffuse the construct, thoughtform, or spirit. Like the metaphor above for manipulating properties, imagine the construct as a woven fabric. In all fabrics there are some threads that hold it together the most. It is possible to remove the property that is the equivalent of the hem of a fabric and allow the construct to dissipate over time; or, several threads can be removed until the fabric isn't a fabric anymore. Doing this to a construct causes the energetic composites involved to equalize into the environment. The more it unravels, the faster it dissipates. This also works on thoughtforms or spirits as well. Both of these are composed of energetic constructs and therefore can be unraveled.
In the next post, Advanced Energy Work Part II, I'll be discussing multi-dimensional energy work, and covering topics required for advanced warding.
