This has been a very tired year so far. I’ve shifted back to drinking coffee.

In fact, the first hour of each day requires coffee. And often the 10th hour. And sometimes even the 12th hour.

Other than that, I just open up my laptop and write. Like what I’m doing right now.

What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?

Good morning and happy Monday, friends.

My book, Fluid Condensers: Unlocking the Mysteries of Gold, Alchemy, and Magick has started to ship!

If you don’t smell books, then what are you even doing with your life? Thank you to my wife for capturing these early moments of my reaction to my first published work.

We celebrated Spring Equinox on Friday night. About a week late from the official time of the astronomical equinox, but it’s what was most convenient for everyone.

Had some beautiful flowers on the altar.

Before the ritual started, we tried dyeing some eggs using a variety of natural things… turmeric, elderberry, roselle, cabbage, even leafy herbs.

And then we used those eggs for some spellwork during the ritual. I have a really cool photo of all our eggs sitting beneath burning candles, but I think I’m gonna just save that one for me.

I was really hoping for a happy pink color… or maybe something in a light, pastel purple. I guess it turned out more of a… brown. Oh well. It was still a lot of fun.

In other book-related news, I submitted my next manuscript, which is all about runes. I have no idea what happens now other than I wait. So I’m waiting. But you don’t have to wait… you can catch one of my rune workshops later this year at Summer Magick Fest or StaarCon.

Now that the books are done, I’ve had a little more time to dedicate to other things. I finished up the start of my next M3 season and posted it on Friday. The first episode features Kirk White. Go give it a watch!

I also spent a significant amount of time revamping the video thumbnails, which I haven’t done since I started the show a few years ago. Here’s a comparison of what new thumbnails will look like vs the older seasons. What do you think?

For munchies, we grabbed some sushi.

And on our journey, we also saw the Easter bunny. He was terrifying.

I’ll have a new early release episode out on Patreon soon.

And I think that’s about all there is to report from this past week. Stay tuned for more soon!
