Hail to you Jormangundr, World Serpent, Ocean Serpent, Mountain Serpent, Tree Serpent, Oh mover in liminal space. May your coils keep safe the borders! May your scales keep back the beyond! Silent guardian, keeper of realms tween man and spirit wild, may you ever keep coiled the world tree, may you repel each interloper, and in your quiet wisdom, keep and make stable those many worlds you border. Hail, love, and praise to you Jormangundr!

A Prayer to Jormangundr
So, I'm a spirit bride of Jormangundr, and they wished for me to write a prayer for them and share it today. If you feel moved to speak it or make offering, we are grateful.

Chaos Day 11/23
Sometimes, I think of the important stuff a little too late, planning, but not planning enough to share in a timely manner.
I'm sure I'm not the only person who uses the number 23 in their magic, especially in the chaos current. Even as I type this, I listen to binaural beats, having invoked Ellis and vibrated it's magic into my sitting space at 11:23 pm, or 23:23 in military time, having anointed myself in water manufactured on 5/23/11 at 23:23. It currently, likely, has 23 ounces of water left in the bottle.
As I listened to the binaural beat and watched an animated gif of Ellis, it was around the 23 minute mark that the Red Queen began to speak to me. Talking of how and why I had contacted it before, plans for the future. Some of that is simply strengthening connections, friendships, and other things connecting the world.
Tapped into the current like I am, I had to make a post. Last year, when I did this, nothing much happened until I slept, having a startlingly 3d dream that turned out to have ties to a group of magic practitioners I met the next day. I don't know if it will be like that this time, but I'd never know if I didn't try.
You don't have to be as extra as I'm being about this thing. Go out there, wait out a good 23 time, write down an Ellis sigil, throw on some binaurals and alter your state of mind. You never know what breakthroughs it might lead to.
(Which I may post about in the morning should this produce more startling results)

2018 Magic Year in Review
It's hard to sum up 2018, even on just the magic level. It was a beast of year, felt like I'd lived two or more in that time.
So, I'll try to summarize.
On the extroversion level, I taught a few classes at Ann Arbor Pagan Pride, Michigan Paganfest, and entered a few classes into Convocation, one being accepted.
On the Domagick side, I stopped participating at some point. I'd definitely enjoyed the challenges, but divination and other signs seemed to be pointing me towards needing to do some other stuff more.
I read the Invisibles this year. Then reread it a few times. Then saw 23s everywhere, even unto today. If I look at a clock, it's XX:23 more often than math would suggest. I get them other places too.
A good portion of my year was spent on getting a functional model of the spirit world, at least for me. I'm reluctant to talk about all of it because, on some level, I'm worried about putting a half model into people's laps, especially if they're not ready for it. However, I'll talk about what I can and see if it's helpful.
To summarize, I've divided the spirit world into layers, with each layer having an axis it travels along, also making up the material of that level. For instance, as best I can tell, the usual spirit world most interacted with is made up of a "three dimensional" version of time. Spirits and Gods can thus walk back and forth in time, look onto tomorrow, sidestep to other timelines entirely, and jump up and above normal time. However, much like us, they are also moved along an axis they have little control over. For us, the axis is time, inevitably moving forward; for them, I believe the axis is "Passion/Emotion/Energy". As we moved up dimensions, each is in a similar model, made up of it's own stuff, moved by another stuff, and perhaps, most functionally interesting, capable of altering the level below it.
For instance, we third/fourth dimensionals can draw upon a piece of paper or write a story, creating and altering second/third dimensional space. Like gods, we can create and destroy entire worlds. Also like gods, we can find these works growing beyond our ability to control them. Imagine trying to destroy a beloved character like Batman. You'd not only have to destroy every copy of every comic, movie, toy, or other representation of him, but also the minds of every person that ever knew the character. It's near impossible to fathom succeeding in such a venture. Yet you could draw Batman, write a story, and there is nothing Batman can do to stop you (though DC/Warner's lawyers are another matter).
Thus we have a model where on each level, we have godlike entities above us, fiction like entities below us, and a world made of it's dimensional substance we must maneuver through. By understanding these layers and awakening ourselves in each, we can thus exercise and funnel incredible amounts of power and control into our current dimension of occupancy. And the entities we interact with are very much the mages/shamans of their particular level, interacting outside their own dimensional boundaries for various benefits.
The way I see it now, it's magicians helping magicians, top to bottom, bottom to top. On that thought, I think maybe it's our responsibility to help side to side too. Consciousness cultivation is key.
Observation leads to Knowledge, Knowledge empowers Action, Action creates Reaction, Reaction is subjected to Observation, and the cycle continues. With a greater scope of perspective, we can see better realities and gain the knowledge to enact them. My hope this year is to help everyone expand that perception that we might all work toward our better worlds.

Do Magick 30, Summoning- Brood of Echidna Day 7
#domagick
Strange little mystery continued. Offering was taken by Echidna's new beau, who I still don't know exactly who they are. They look like the minotaur, but seem to have other attributes, great intellect, ability to transform and forge things. Not really sure what's going on there.
Looking into some
Babylonian myth, but if anybody knows of any masculine, bull like
gods, wouldn't mind getting a lead.
Do Magick 30, Summoning- Brood of Echidna Day 6
#domagick
Today, after
bringing the offering, Echidna asked me to shred it and feed 'the
babies'. A large nursery of countless little writhing monsterlings, I
scattered the bits to their waiting maws. I asked if the children
were recent, she said yes. I asked if I could meet the father, and
she said 'maybe next time'.

Do Magick 30, Summoning- Brood of Echidna Day 5
#domagick
Okay, I'll admit it.
I'm a hydra fan girl. I love the hydra.
Today's offering was welcomed and Echidna covered my eyes before revealing that hydra was there. It was mostly nonsense chit chat, no real lesson I can articulate. However, Echidna implied that some of her children have father's other than Typhon, which sort of makes sense since he's trapped beneath a mountain. Looking forward to meeting more children, or maybe Echidna's new paramour?

W0RM
Today went much
smoother.
The next of Echidna's children I met was a new form called W0RM (or at least, it enjoyed the name). Writhing and digital, W0RM eats it victim's from the inside out, eaten puppets. Gruesome, but their manner was relatively jovial, and they did not seem vindictive despite their methods.

Echidna offered me
some of her milk. I took it graciously, and it seemed to curdle
immediately. I dry heaved for about five minutes, letting whatever
spirit stuff I needed to vomit out come up. She said it would
alleviate an unwanted part of my humanity, though I've yet to
determine what that part is. Perhaps I'll know by tomorrow.
