Here is another one from the Dan. (I like a lot of Dans it seems.) It’s a bit more personal. I like the idea that he’s sharing more about his burn incident and how he’s using it to study pain. You like to hope we’d all do something similar and… you know… really make...

You know how I’m Dan’s number 1 fanboy, right? In fact, if I’m not driving in Scotland right now I’m probabyl reading the book that these data come from. As ever, it’s amazing. Watch and love it. There’s no way this can’t improve your money magic. Amusing question of the day: Do you think...

You know I like to live where science gets freaky enough to make magic better. I sit right there like a fat guy in a Radisson spa, disgustingly loving it (and possibly nude but you don’t want to alarm your nearby children). I want you to consider this lecture in terms of how often...

Howdy from wherever I am in Scotland! Given that I’m going to be away from my internets for the next week and a bit on account of the royal wedding public holidays I thought I might whip up a daily media series for you. Think of it like holiday programming on TV. (It was...

This is the first weekend more or less to ourselves in quite some time. I have been day-dreaming about it since Wednesday: sleeping in, cooking, reading, catching up on television, meditating, doing the monthly forecast. (Have you done yours? Sun sign astrology was the hands-down winner again this month.) Here are a few things...

Told you I was feeling contrary. But the first two articles strike me as an excellent example of why magical target selection takes guts. Or, to borrow Jason’s terminology: “Emergency Magic”. Giving to Japan is like lighting a candle to pay your rent this month. Giving strategically to MSF is enchanting for wealth. Check...

At the risk of becoming the Jamie Oliver of food magic -especially when I’m obviously aiming to be the Nigella of everything- there is another sacred cow here that might be worth hamburgering. This isn’t like pulling the wings off insects -something done just for a few more destructo-points but because it’s always good...

The new year is exciting, it really is. Work is going good, a fun new flatmate is showing up tomorrow (thank you sigil magic) and I’ve already got business trips to Milan and Barcelona booked in for a few weeks time. But -in London at least- it is also grim and dark and wet...

Having breakfast with my cousin on the weekend, we got to swapping medication stories. She is from the -how you say- “crazy” side of the family. It was oddly comforting to see that a number of my shortcomings are genetic rather than inherent. Crazy must be like misery. It loves company. Anyway, as previously...

Call it a seasonal thing. October drawing to a close and such. (“Seasonal” being a word that is allowed under VVF estimable All Hallow’s Challenge. Oh how I wish she had read this out at a mandatory UN meeting on the subject.) Cat Vincent alerted me to a previous unpublished Alan Moore essay late...
