My Coven.

Here I am again, in the waiting room well... waiting. Waiting to start work. In Liber Null it is said that to do work in the "robotic" state of mind is good because it free's up a part of your brain to focus on matters of a more complex nature. Well, I'd like to see him do my job and be happy about it ha ha XD

I'm only joking, I love my job really- I feel very fortunate to have it. The reason I bring this up is because it is all the money I am earning from this job which is going to fund my coven.

In my own time I am an exorcist, although right now I am currently engaged in research as opposed to call outs, but in other time I am the leader of my coven, which in itself proves an interesting challenge. Although I have only just started as the Coven Leader I am learning a lot.

In fact it is a very steep learning curve- an opportunity I am very grateful to Master Aurelia for giving me, I am learning a lot. I'm learning to things mainly, how to lead and how to expand. Both are much easier said than done and from my experience, if you're finding it easy you're doing it wrong. Very. Wrong.

Never-the-less, it has been interesting. I have just started teaching some basic magic to my coven members, but I cannot rush ahead as we are still waiting for members. If I have a dozen people all at different stages, well- I'll lose all my hair due to the logistical nightmare!

I do predict though, that the hardest things to teach are the basic things, because if you think about it, with more advanced techniques/spells etc. the student already has the basics to build upon, but when the students learn the basics she/he has naught to build upon. Thus it is harder to teach and I often find myself stumbling around saying "It's just this uhhh... feeling!" We'll see how it goes, a student is only as good as their teacher- yep, I'm not holding out to much hope!

I am only joking of course, I am very confident that my coven members will progress very well. Thing is, I am a very "magical" person and so I believe my coven will be more magically inclined than other Scion covens but there ya go!

I am though, trying to balance it out as much as I can, but the thing is, magic is very hard to teach yourself and so I often find myself actively teaching. But for the other area's of balance(pillars) I find myself guiding them in a very individual respect as (including myself) they are all imbalanced in unique and personal ways. Thus I teach them how to lead, "not everyone can be a leader"- Bull SHITE. Sorry, but that's just it. If everyone were a leader we would advance so quickly- Leader of leaders is a good analogy.

So in conclusion, I am learning a lot about leading through this coven and it is developing me in an interesting way. To some it comes naturally, to me... well, just ask my members and I'm sure they'll tell you that for me, this is not the case! Ha ha! I kid (I hope...)

Anyway, hope you enjoyed this article and keep reading.
Yours,
Lucius RavenCroft.
Coven Leader of Scion- RavenCroft Coven, London.

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

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

Please read- lest we forget the Winter Equinox of 2012.

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..
