A little bird told me that an enemy I had long-since cursed was going on about how miserable her life is and that she must have a “fairy god-bitch” seeking to destroy her. Fairy god-bitch. I should put that on my business cards…

How to change graphite’s structure back to a stronger carbon mark… This is the alchemist’s work for the quarter. Heat, pressure, break down and build up again. Catalysts or dissolution. Whatever it takes to bend graphite back to the alchemist’s Will and purposes rather than his own.
From a warning to a friend. You can burn toxic fuels if you have to and you know what you are doing. Trouble is you don’t know whether or not you know what you’re doing til long after the combustion is complete. And the combustion needs to be 100% complete […]
To pursue gold or shoot higher, for platinum? Either seems equally distant from the lead at the moment, but really, it can’t be that much harder to go the one step further. A thousand and one steps instead of a thousand. And the process isn’t too different. Both will require […]
Suspended between worlds. An impossible feeling. There is no going back to the previous reality, that would be a certain death – at least of the spirit if not also of the body. The new reality is still a little out of reach, though, a bit like being in line […]
The world hangs suspended for a day on the Equinox, stops spinning and simply pauses. Somehow at Lammas I knew my life would be totally different come the Equinox, even if paradoxically it’s mostly the same on the surface. Let’s see here: A certain finality in one relationship, not the […]

Pyrolysis interruptus. Sulphur is after the bloody graphite again… no matter. The prime matter at this point is sulphur’s conduit between high and low in the attempt to propagate on a mass scale.
Sitting and waiting for the blackening to take its course. Venom leeches out to the surface to flake off the right side, reactivated from its dormant state through an unexpectedly severe shock. Hydrochloride salts will deactivate the source again. Thirteen carbons and all the rest. Sulphur plans vengeance and a […]
Every so often the silverback comes through with a teeny little olive branch. Or at least an olive twig. The goddess’s gift to Athens has its family ties to my garden through the lilacs and forsythia. The trunks will be gnarled and twisted like a certain history, and the root […]
The Oracle spoke again: 1080 miles. The high definition distance. A straight line running north to south. Seven years from inception to the first contact between brimstone and antimony, the magnesium sparked. It remains to be seen how long it will be until the next contact, but signs point to […]
