A reflection on the past few months.

So, in September I became an Ascendant of Scion and was tasked with building and leading my coven, two months in and 3 people have come and gone, but two have stayed.

The two are Akabway and Kai, great apprentices. I get along with both of them very well, Kai being a fellow exorcist and Akabway being a very interesting magician indeed. Anyway, these two I have a feeling, will stick with Scion and for all this path has to offer.

I guess that's how it is, about half don't have what it takes, that's to be expected, Scion's not for everyone, but everyone is welcome to try.

I am now a member of the council too, as we are still new Silmerion and I are filling the boots of the council, of course led by Master Aurelia. It is interesting being in a leading position at 17. It just comes across to me more than ever how Scion has shaped up and is becoming (already is really) a true meritocracy. I'm younger than all me apprentices ha ha!

Anyway, also there has been some downs. When I joined Scion, it was just Master Aurelia and I, now we have 2 Ascendants (Silmerion and Myself) and 2 more Ascendants in training (Kai and Zenon) in addition to 2 other apprentices (Akabway and Joniza) who are also excellent. The other two are not in ascendant training not because they are not good enough, just we do not yet have enough teachers and so we are trying our best while we train Kai and Zenon.

Regardless, the demand for apprenticeships is still high, and they are still available. We are still welcoming to all inquisitive folk and we are still hand out apprenticeships... if you have what takes that is.

Thank you for your understanding.
Lucius.

Channeling Pain- a magical pain killer.

This is a technique that I developed when in a battle I broke my leg but had to keep going about a couple of years ago. Of course since then I have refined it and now I think it is ready to be tested by a wider sample size of magicians, thus I am publishing it here. Additionally I will be writing about it on my favourite forum (Occult forum.org). This technique is about channeling energy out of the body. Imagine pain, the feeling. What is it? It's just a "feeling" isn't it? So why do our bodies react so violently against this "feeling"? Now that, is a good question. I am not a healer so the answer to that I do not know. But, if we inspect the feeling of pain closer, on the energetic level, I guess one could say it is "heat". Not heat the physical concept (the movement of particles -vibrations- increasing) but heat as an energetic concept. Heat as an energetic concept is when the natural lines of energy are disrupted chaotically, this causes

So, tonight is Friday, 20th September 2013. In 1 hour 26 minutes it will be exactly a year since it happened. When I first made this blog, I made a pledge to be as open and honest as possible to those who read it, to try and give as accurate an insight as I can into my life- the youngest magician to reach the level of "Consultant Exorcist". In light of this pledge, I am going to speak about, for the first time, the single worse night of my life. _______________________________________________________________________________ So you can understand the gravity of this, let me first tell you a bit about me, a perhaps darker version of me. As a child growing up, I studied magic, it was my sense of control of a turbulent life, in which half the time I wanted to end. It saved my life (literally) just as many times, and in the same ways, as it made me want to take it. My "mother" was an alcoholic and my "father" was violent and abusive, my childhood was..

How to cope in this life (of magic and madness).

Merlin supposedly once said "With one's head in the clouds, it is difficult to keep one's feet on the ground" I read this in a children's story book, this is when Arthur, as a boy, looks up at Merlin and asks why he chooses not to fly even though he can. Later Merlin says that if your feet leave the ground, they'll never come back. 10 years on from reading that I finally understand what it means. I guess those two lines speak volumes about the duality of our existence. I'll give you an example. Do you think when I was born my parents looked at me and said "Hey, he looks like a Lucius!"... well, they didn't look at me at all but that's a side point. No. My original Order Master (of the Dark Order, before it collapsed. I will be very impressed if any of you have heard of it) gave that name to me. As I write this, I am on my fathers computer, sitting next to his secretary, waiting in his office for my new laptop to arrive. It's a
