Hello, I am serving to you some little changes! I am yeeting all my nsfw art to the abyss... ALMOST. 💀

I am just moving these pieces to the side blog, this one blog here: Crimson chronicles of Octarine Cat, I know fancy name! CCoOC 😂

I will delete all posts from here and post them there, so don't panic, they will still exist. I just want to separate these two matters 😊

It was the King Colour, of which all the lesser colours are merely partial and wishy-washy reflections. It was octarine, the colour of magic. It was alive and glowing and vibrant and it was the undisputed pigment of the imagination, because wherever it appeared it was a sign that mere matter was a servant of the powers of the magical mind. It was enchantment itself. But Rincewind always thought it looked a sort of greenish-purple.

Magic is a Way of Life

An Introduction

I have a busy life. Well, I work a full time job and balance my partner, cat, and hobbies along with it. I am sure many of you are also working stiffs (or full time students), balancing relationships and hobbies and find it hard to find time for your practice. Maybe you want to get into a practice but still haven't because of time or the ridiculous process of attaining magical power.

This why I am writing this essay and have been working on being more proactive here. I want to share my sorcery with you. Sometimes that is sharing blogs with perspectives I agree with, lyrics of my favorite songs, essays like this, meditations and rituals I love and develop, or personal works of art.

Simplicity

I am a nobody as far as you are concerned, and that is exactly the perspective I believe we all need! I have no titles and gain nothing but some views. I just want to share my perspective on a topic I love and wish it helps you, be you neophyte, adept or the Gods Themselves!

I love simplicity, although I also don't mind working hard. I am a lifelong martial arts enthusiast and practitioner and there is no easy way to excel as I have without hours a day and years of work. Magic isn't martial arts, though. Yes, it takes time to get comfortable with magic and to be worth your Blessed Salt. Yes, it will take hard work. And yes, you will get burnt out time and again (I've been at it for over 20 years!) but don't let that stop you!

Magic is also fun, engaging, and wild. It will test your resolve and it may even scare you at times - sometimes results are quick and raw. Sometimes they are gentle. Worst of all, sometimes it won't even yield a ghost's fart. That's the process of any progress, though. There will be ups and downs, good and bad times, and times you wish you never picked up that Hand of Glory with only three fingers left... that means two wishes were made and they decided to rid themselves of the cursed object...

Getting off track, my apologese.

The (not so) Great Work

My Principles of Magic

1. Imagine. Imagination is the gateway to all realities. Supergirl isn't physically real, but she gives me Hope and holds Council as one of my spirit guides.

2. Believe. If I can't believe in the impossible then I am not utilizing my imagination to its fullest potential.

3. Enact. If you do not practice your Craft you will not gain anything. If sorcery is the work of the Imagination and Belief then you have to Enact in Ritual to bring about change.

4. Ritual. Any act of creation. This can be a magical act as simple as Death Posture and blasting a sigil to carving a wooden wand to call forth your deepest desires. It can be as simple or extravagant as you wish as long as you are creating.

5. Consistency. This doesn't mean you have to dedicate yourself to any single paradigm, but you should at least have a standard practice, or practices, you perform on a regular basis. It doesn't even have to be daily, just enough that you are maintaining progress.

6. Journal. The best friend the sorceror ever had! I suggest up to 100 different journals. Don't trust anybody at face value, but trust me on this.

I want someone to write about Gender the way Sir Terry Pratchett wrote about color or anything else. About going past the binary and discovering gender no one has ever considered. But taken way to literally and silly to be any kind of real world parallel.

The way octarine was the color beyond color.

Or how Knurd was being sober beyond sober.

I want to read about a gender that was too gender. That male or female dared not dream of its existence.

The Color of Magic: An Introduction to Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld

The Color of Magic: An Introduction to Sir Terry Pratchett’s Discworld

Most everyone who has read the Discworld series by Sir Terry Pratchett advises not to start with The Color of Magic. Terry himself said this book was “written in protest” about a genre that he loved, but contained “too many dark lords, too much lack of thought”.  My fatal flaw is that I’m stubborn, so I will be ignoring the advice and reading the entirety of Discworld in publication order. I…

In case you didn't know, I REALLY like your Phantom Raphael art. Have a meme.

AWWWWW! I'm SO HONOURED!! Thank you, thank you! Good meme, as always 💜😂

Did anybody else see a thin black ring around the sun during yesterday’s eclipse (obviously whilst wearing the eclipse glasses)?

It reminded me of the octarine glow sometimes described in Discworld. Were any of you reminded of that or was it just me?

@octartin pointed out to me we both play COS barovian native clerics named Kasia/Kaisa who are being set up for the reveal that they are the reincarnation of St Markovia.

What a coincidence

They told me about how Kaisa awoke some 150 years or so before the events of their campaign. She awoke alone in a cave in mount ghakis dressed in a wedding dress with no memories at all.

And idk that mental image is so chef's kiss to me I had to hyperfixation doodle it in like 3 hours

Hope you enjoy, friend, and thank you for chatting so much with me! I really love being able to share this campaign stuff with you <3

Tumblr is not letting me upload a better quality file of this.... Hdjsjdjf mad

Antihouse Algrazzdax is one of more peculiar nature. In the City of the Dead, it takes great effort to maintain knowledge and concentration required to wield the arts of wizardry. Algrazzdax, however, are beyond that. A broad category of beings, all united in their overflowing insanity. A penultimate form of the minds evolution, the Wizards warp reality with even slightest whims. Capable alone to go toe-to-toe with entire squads of Necromancers, they incinirate their path through districts of the city wherever they appear. 3/6
