When I first started this website a little over a year ago, I really didn’t have much direction in terms of what I was writing about or how it looked. It was all just one big experiment without a clear picture in my head. I picked a domain and, not knowing much about it, a WordPress theme. As I started to put more and more content here, I began realizing that the template I chose was a little lackluster. I tried to compensate as best as I could, adding and tweaking navigation or whatever other settings I could find, but I was never really happy with it. And the disparity between the vision of what I wanted and what actually was continued to grow.

Until now…

So today was definitely not a typical day because I finally decided to change my backend website template. And, naturally, it broke everything.

There’s no backup and restore option on my WordPress plan. I guess I’m just not that fancy. So from here, it’s onward and upward. But the good news is… I’ve fixed pretty much everything major. Hopefully you like the new direction.

Not everything is where it’s supposed to be just yet. I guess this is my way of saying “pardon my dust.”

Over the next few days, I’ll be continuing to make small changes and tweaks. Most of it will probably occur late into the hours of the night or early morning. But if you encounter something that is still completely broken, feel free to let me know.

Daily writing prompt
Was today typical?

Good morning and happy Monday, friends!

It’s been a busy week. Lots of writing going on!

I finished Jack Chanek’s interview, so M3 Season 2, Episode 3 is finally up on YouTube. It was a great episode, honestly, and packed with knowledge about Qabalah and other interesting stuff.

I wrote a Deity Focus article on Hermes Trismegistus, which I think you’ll find quite fun if you’re into that sort of thing.

Coming up later this week, you can look forward to the start of a new series on color magick, including everything you ever wanted to know and more about color. It’ll probably be a two-part post, the first of which is coming out tomorrow. A couple days after that, you’ll be getting the written article that goes along with Jack Chanek’s interview.

And in the somewhat near future, you’ll also get the much-awaited (and almost abandoned) Part 4 to the Fluid Condenser series.

In other news, Selene and I cleaned some of our witchy shelves of herbs and other strange ingredients a few days ago. I took a lot of the unknown things and made a mystery blend of incense. Can’t wait to see how this smells. It’s either going to be amazing or horrifying.

Dare we try this?

Yesterday, we took a trip to visit Corellia Gifts in Corel Springs, FL. I won’t say too much more because it was so awesome that I asked if I could do a Community Spotlight article on them soon, but here’s a few pictures to tease.

Some highlights from Corellia Gifts…

Well, that’s all for now! I’ve got lots of work to do, posts to write, and videos to edit.

Stay tuned for more!

  1. If you ever need a hand figuring out how to fix what done got broke, give a shout. No promises, but I’ve done my fair share of breaking my own sites as I tweak a little of this and a little of that.

    1. Thanks, Michael! I appreciate that. Your wordpress knowledge and experience definitely exceed my own. You know what? I actually thought of messaging you before I did anything, but then I just decided to try it on my own. If I encounter any problems I can’t seem to figure out, you’ll be the first to know!

      1. What’s most important is to keep in mind when dealing with WordPress:

        * Don’t Panic.

        * Always Carry a Towel.
