Greetings to you all this Imbolc. Thanks for keeping on opening and reading these outpourings. I'm afraid this one is going to be a good deal shorter, because I've been too busy and even sometimes overwhelmed by moving out of somewhere I've lived for just short of 20 years. Moving to somewhere lovely, but it's been, well, a bit intense.
But I do want to say something about Imbolc.
I like Imbolc. The light is beginning to increase noticeably, slowly we draw out of the darkness and celebrate that with fire and candlelight. And the fire is also the fire of the forge, as we craft new thoughts and ideas and magics, finding delight in winter and looking ahead to spring.
So big bright blessings to you all, and keep your gaze on the rising light!

EVENTS
with VIKTOR WYND
Introduction to Energy Magic Part 2 is launching this Spring. This is about the internal dimensions of energy magic, and consists of explorations of internal sensed energy practices and the energy-alchemy of desire.
In the first of these two 2-hour sessions we’ll explore the practice and theory of internal energy circulation and concepts of auric structures and power-centres.
In the second we’ll discuss and practice a rehearsal of sexual energy transmutation using the Dragon-Eagle Working.
EXPLORING MEDITATION
Last year I ran a series of Zoom meetings for magicians who wanted to develop their meditation practice. 6 fortnightly meetings, half practice, half discussion. I'm told there's interest in a rerun. Tuesdays, 19.00 GMT, starting 21st Feb, running till the start of May. Payment is optional, what you can afford, what you think it's worth, £10 per session is suggested. But £0 is ok, we want you to join in.
If you're interested, email me at dleedlpt@gmail.com
Here's a piece that came out of that original group experience.
FORTHCOMING
Chaos Lab course
Julian Vayne and I are collaborating on an online, lifetime-access course called Chaos Lab. 'Join us in our occult laboratory for four sessions of practical magic. We will be performing both operative magic (sigils and spells) alongside ceremonial practices with a focus on deep personal transformation and spiritual illumination. Whether you're new to the Great Work of magic, or an experienced practitioner you'll find these sessions a great way to develop your own unique magic, supported by two of the most well respected adepts in contemporary occultism. Expect a delicious sprinkling of theory and a large serving of applied sorcery!'
The course should be ready in the next two months.
Eight Musics for Eight Magicks
This project, three years in the making, is finally all complete except for a few finishing touches on the graphics.
It's a two-hour album, consisting of eight pieces of music for working with the Eight Colours of Magick, composed by four highly experienced electronic composers.
The 8 Colours idea is a simplification of the traditional seven Planetary categories of life and magick, plus the 'Pure magick' colour of Ouranos, Octarine, as written about by Terry Pratchett. The 8 Colours scheme was originally written about by Pete Carroll in his Liber Kaos but it's been developed in many other directions since then,
The album consists of eight tracks, each approximately 15 minutes long, mostly without voice except for a central section which can work, for instance, as a pathworking or an invocation. These guided meditations are all written by Dave Lee.
Each track can provide a virtual experience of one of the eight dimensions of magick, or be used as background audio for your own workings.
It comes along with eight original artworks. The above one here is Purple, the one below is Black.
Some varied thoughts about the Eight Colours of Magick here and here.
