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.
Oh, that's interesting. So I ordered some acrylic standees for the #SigilBomb, to basically have the sigils I create floating in space on my altar through the week with a candle behind. And some cans of Lucozade, because I'm under the weather again and it gets me through the day job. Well ... (1/2)

Viewing yourself through a temporal lens is intriguing. I've always been a difficult Fox to pin down, wandering into occulture and leaving paw prints across a number of different magickal ideas. Comment here, article there. Anthologies and essays. Yet I wonder what I'll ultimately be remembered for.

Second infodump for my upcoming #Yule #SigilBomb then, #WitchSky, #OccultSky, #PaganSky and #ParanormalSky. This is a primer on creating simple sigils, aimed at those who want to take part in #ProjektLunarSigil but have never slung a glyph at the universe before. Inclusivity is community after all.

Here we go, #WitchSky, #OccultSky, #PaganSky and #ParanormalSky. The info you need to take part in #ProjektLunarSigil, my free #BlueSky based #SigilBomb from the 14th to the 20th, with charging on #Yule. The #Litha one was a success, by sharing this with your followers December's can be even bigger.

Can't help but return to this from time to time, revisit this soundtrack to subsume my ego in the swirling narrative it creates. Stings of upwelling enlightenment and deeply sorrowful troughs of bitter loss. Amazingly emotive work, far better than the Page attempt.

Been thinking. It was inevitable that I would get into #Hauntology, at least in the more modern pop culture sense of the term. After all, I am a child of 1990's cyberpunk films and Anime. Cut my teeth on Akira, Cyber City Oedo 808 and Bubblegum Crisis. Death Machine and Hardware. My ... (1/3)

Final reminder then, #WitchSky and #OccultSky. My #BlueSky based #ProjektLunarSigil sigil bomb starts on the 14th and I'll be sharing all the info tomorrow. For now, here's the teaser again. I want as many people as possible to take part. #ProjektSolarSigil was a success, so why not give it a go?

So it's #BookReview time over at my author portfolio again. The Hexorian Movement really knocked it out of the park with #OpGrimoire, and as you can see with this succinct and occult focussed review, #WitchSky, there is much to gain from giving it a read.

Super simple #ForteanFriday today then, #ForteanSky. My copy of Fortean Times arrived yesterday and I've been giving it a look. Great stuff as always, just wish my postman wouldn't curl the thing up to post it through my door. Could be worse though. At least it actually survived the rain this time.

Something a little metaphysical for #WeirdWednesday this week. I remember reading this what feels like an age ago now, and was unaware that it was available online until today. Love me some classic takes on the sprawling mess that The Matrix would become.

Here we go then, #WitchSky. Announcing the full release of my Charybdis Sigil technique to the wider community. Spiralling layers of intent, all given equal chance of manifesting a common goal. And all you need is a pen and paper. Share this far and wide, eh?

So, busy day. Batch cooked chilli for the freezer and then made pork shoulder for dinner too. Don't enjoy cooking as much as I used to, but in short bursts and with the right music it's still fun. Hot chocolate and a book under a blanket this evening. Skoob Books' The Necronomicon perhaps? Why not?

Going to be one of those #MercuryRetrograde kind of weekends. With this arctic blast still in play all I want to do is stay under a blanket, and the resulting head cold has also made concentrating on writing tricky too. Guess sometimes you got to just give in and drink hot chocolate on the sofa.

So, #PhantomsFriday then. One from my vault of published articles, this was featured in #PaganDawn magazine. My experiences ghost hunting as a Neopagan among groups that were not. Received positively at the time, this may also interest #ForteanSky as well.

Oh now this is interesting, as I'd forgotten about this show completely. Doesn't help pin down what got me into all this Fortean stuff I guess, but TV like this would have helped set the background hum of The Weird for me growing up for sure. The 90's were proper odd.

First proper frost here in Cardiff overnight. Caerphilly Mountain seems to have shielded us from the worst of the arctic blast so far, but the ground is definitely frozen. Made sure to put out extra bird food to help tide all the denizens of the nests in our trees over until it eases off a little.

Don't think there's a formal #FolkloreThursday this week, but I thought I would still share something interesting. Speaker script from a talk by Alison Petch on the early scientific enquiry into Spiritualism given at the Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford University in 2013.

So, New Moon plans then, #WitchSky? I'm doing the Buthcher's Moon observance from my book, The Accelerated Necromancer this evening. A red candle dressed with ground allspice to honour those who were unable to be buried whole. A morbid one, true, but someone has to remember the outcast dead.

First of three blog posts designed to highlight dates of interest for 2026 within the spheres classical Roman observances, Pagan feasts, Demonolatry rituals and Astronomical events is ready. Set to go live at my portfolio on 13th December, it covers January to April. Will sort the second entry soon.

Someone say #WeirdWednesday? No? Well here's my entry anyway. This show from 1999 is a valuable time capsule, and really does reflect the massively varied kinds of people who used to join paranormal investigation groups around the Millennium, before it was mainstream.
