I marvel sometimes that I am constantly chatting with friends in Spain, England, and Egypt and I take it for granted … my Irish writer friend in France made this for me today because I can’t stop dropping “ensorcell” … I told him we should write a fake spell book on the hoary art of “ensorcellment.”

30-year astrologer here and I just like to remark occasionally that micro astro predictions such as these have no precedent in popular media except maybe 16th & 17th c almanacs. It’s like as soon as a new medium becomes accessible to common people, we use it to see if our crush likes us back.

Completely failed at getting my kid to choose Cotton Mather for his historical Halloween character at school. I made such a powerful pitch and even pulled out Magnalia Christi Americana. My kid doubted that this was really an important guy. My PhD means nothing to him.

Might I quietly volunteer that we have a system worth saving: an anatomy of how every other type of government is worse. This is so good: much more satisfying than memeing into the void.

Oh my favorite kind of question … figures that song lyrics were the vehicle. That tracks.

I love when literary scholars tell histories. Totally, they should have known it was leading to the most acrimonious break-up of the 19th century because there was FORESHADOWING.

Thinking about how Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell essentially proves Arthur Versluis’ thesis that the Western magickal tradition is textual as opposed to initiatory. Much as we’d like to believe that witches are passing folklore down by practice, anything that’s printed immediately becomes canon …

The man who popularized both Dandyism and Rosicrucianism with his fiction, Edward Bulwer Lytton. It’s been proven that Blavatsky plagiarized big swaths of his fiction for use in the seminal text of Theosophy, Isis Unveiled. Love his peacocking and crazy curls here …

I know it’s controversial, but I’m so glad she did this. There’s so much overt + subtle pressure for women to go under the knife, it’s wild that people get offended when a woman resists it. I’ve loved Jamie Lee since I saw her cuttin it up with her friends at a Peaches concert 25 years ago!

I like how the devil worship is the third thing after two really really bad things. These intense Leo times are delivering great headlines …

Picked up Burberry HER because the store is right outside my hotel and it seemed like a sign. Then I read that it was a “youthful” scent only suitable for girls. Can’t I, an old hag, also enjoy strawberries and cream? #fragsky #perfumesky

Fine, if you’re going to put the Burberry store right outside my hotel, I will take it as a sign … #fragsky #perfumesky

Do you like to read weird books? I’ll be teaching on seminal American horror writer Charles Brockden Brown and the “porno-gothic” imagination of George Lippard. My genius art historian friend is bringing in Jung and American Tarot writers! Short reading selections, with esoteric historians …

The new Pulp album is fucking fantastic but I couldn’t tell if Jarvis spelling out L-O-V-E (again) was like an ironic joke on himself. Maybe it’s just a natural part of his vocalization, like a James Brown “huh” or MJ “shamon.” #pulp

#fragsky #perfumesky OK I really hate this and I’m sad I fell for the marketing reboot even tho only in sample size. Midnight Toker by Heretic. It’s lip-gloss on a truffle pig, and I mean that in the most literal way. Perfumer Douglas Little slapped some dollar-store mids on a gorgeous natural base

#fragsky #perfumesky Dirty Coconut by HERETIC. This one is fantastic. It makes me feel like I’m in an 80s movie creeping on a girl at the beach working tanning oil into her skin. I’ve never smelled Coconut CO2 before - it’s sort of woody-foodie and set off beautifully by Vanilla and Sandalwood.

#fragsky #perfumesky Took my summer fragrance search to Heretic perfume, DIRTY PEACH. My son and I identified three distinct phases: Peach, Tomcat spray, hot fruit that sat too long in a car. The citrusy top is over way too fast and the base is barely detectable after an hour. Glad I got a sample …
