Folk Magic, Chaos Magic, and DIY Witchcraft

Troll Brev. What's your system? Hello hello! I've been thinking a lot about magical paradigms lately, and what that means as a folk magician. For most of my magical career I have either written my own spells and rituals or I have heavily adapted spells and rituals from other practitioners. This is what works for me; I was taught early on that it's important to customize things, that they will be more effective and impactful. But lately I've been thinking about what exactly it means to write...

Troll Brev. The portal is OPEN to register for the Queering the Runes online course! Register This course is a culmination of all of my life's work so far. If you loved reading "Queering the Runes" and want to go even deeper this is the course for you. For those of you that don't know, this course is a hybrid-taught live and online. There is over 7 hours of instruction on individual runes, as well as guided meditations, exercises, and more reading material. I walk you through a few practice...

Troll Brev. The Portal to Queering the Runes is Re-Opening Hello everyone - I hope you're all doing ok, that you have what you need in this moment. I just wanted to take a moment before going into the rest of my business to acknowledge the incredible protests that happened around the country yesterday for No Kings. I wasn't able to participate personally because I'm traveling and I was not feeling well, but that also gives me even more hope knowing there were so many other people who were...

Troll Brev. A "meanwhile" kind of newsletter Pre-S: You've only got until Sunday, May 4 to sign up for my May classes through the Fellowship of Fire and Ice! You can register here. And read till the end to get a special Beltane coupon at Lore! Thank you so much to everyone who took my audience survey last week!

Lore Monthly Dispatch What's happening with Siri and the shop this month Welcome to a new month! Well ... rather bold of me to "welcome" you to a new month when it's already March 22, but here we are. I've been a bit quiet this month and last as I've been figuring out some life stuff in the wake of ✨all of the chaos✨ here in the US, as well as busily Some announcements: 📅 The next round of Queering the Runes will open for registration in July! So mark your calendar ✈️ I'm at Paganicon this...

Troll Brev. Oh my goodness, January FLEW by! I've been busily writing and recording lectures behind the scenes for the course, and with everything going on in the world it has been hard for me to balance talking about how excited I am for this course with the actual writing of the course. I'm absolutely falling in love with this course model. The Queering the Runes course will be a mixture of live sessions as well as recorded. The base lectures - all of the lectures on the runes, as well as...

Troll Brev. A Year of Rune Magic Pre-S: Quick reminder that registration is still open for "Queering the Runes! Check it out here One of the things that's been coming up lately for me is the idea of immersion. Of balancing dedication with play and experimentation. This is one of the reasons that I've been loving the new podcast, Chaos and Cunning, so very much. It's allowing me to be more experimental in what information from my practice I share. I turned to more modern forms of magic after...

Troll Brev. Hey everyone! I’ve been hard at work today recording the audio for the Queering the Runes course, and I wanted to share a little something with all of you. I’ve intentionally designed the “Queering the Runes” course to be mostly recorded, but also partially live. I know that I tend to get so much more out of an online course when I can interact with the other students and the teacher. So of course there’s a part of my discord server that I’m designing for students to use, and I...

Troll Brev. IT'S FINALLY HERE! I'm so thrilled to announce that I've transformed "Queering the Runes" into a full-blown course! Last winter, when I taught the last fully live version of my "Radical Runes" course, I said that it was because I had too much material for a live course. I wanted to go deeper, and it was so hard to take things OUT of the class so that I could fit it into a reasonable amount of time (read: six 2-hr long sessions). I wanted to give a full lecture for each rune, as...

Troll Brev. it's that time of year again This essay originally appeared on my Patreon before being sent out to the broader newsletter. If you would also like early access to my writing (or just to support my writing generally speaking), you can subscribe to the Patreon here. This week is Thanksgiving in the United States, and many of us are preparing to have difficult conversations with family. It's become a widespread joke in the dominant culture that "well Thanksgiving will be a mess." This...
