I hurt you once, so I tried again, just to be sure.

I took another student. This one came asking. I hardly understand why, but it doesn't matter why.

Not all my students make good choices. One's burned his connections, likely moved on. What they set out to do was unwise and I counseled them against their present course of action. They wanted to talk to the Archangel Michael. I tried to explain that even if you got in contact with something like that it wouldn't be there to help you. Actually that's just what I should have said. What I said was that the nature of magic is to have an uncontrolled experience, and that he needed was not the somewhat mindless objective he had of proving God exists. You engage in summoning rituals to let go of control, so all of the control of his ritual apparatus (which was overwrought; the other thing I told him was to simplify) meant nothing.

And now he's burned his accounts and fled. That could mean anything. The most likely scenario is his personal image of Michael was corrupted and he self-sealed to prevent further damage to Michael. The worst part is, if you want Michael you can just watch The Good Place and I'm not sure how serious I'm being, because though I believe, personally, that that was the archangel Michael knowing that this is just a haha quirky funny aren't I special and magickal affectation to some of you reading this, I also believe in the more primary tier of visitation. If I believe anything supernatural occurred it is not that the actual archangel Michael appeared on my screen when I watched The Good Place, because the true effect is far more meaningful, if subtle. (It's because the Good Place is about redeeming human souls i.e. angelic legwork that arch~angel is depicted, and they chose the name Michael for the office which was inhabited. They could have made a few choices but Michael is most suitable. Do you see?)

Representation has this problem, you see. That it can only ever be as strong or as weak as the person making the representation.

and, of course

those powers comprising and comprised of

remaining unseen

So we live in an age where the supernatural is something the ministering civil servant class, the bureaucrats, just didn't believe in, even as they were governed by these spirits corporate. Except of course for places like Nike, I presume. This guy? I don't feel that bad about what happened to him (I can't know if it's a good idea for him to take that route) (heck I had half a mind to have him try and get a question answered for me but I'm old enough not to have to peek through that door) (I couldn't think of a question worth the risk) (frankly I couldn't think of a question and that's what I tried to say to him), but I do toast his bravery, and relate his struggle. Only a recent convert to the general availability of the supernatural, I hope his experience turns him off of it.

As for me, I am an Arch-Magi, and I wield the mortal magic freely. I just don't think consorting with those forces is wise and I've seen too many bloody stumps on people who thought they had things under control. Some magic is black, some magic is grey. Light magic is the most powerful, but I can only sigh in grey. It's not that this person had fallen to black magic, it's that they didn't understand they were dealing with grey magic.

This is the problem with the logical. When they come in contact with the supernatural they face the inherent illogical nature of everything, but especially they face the fact that they, themselves are illogical.

I knew I was in trouble once I started down a Wizard's path.

Anyway, the cast time on my Mirror Image is running out. I like to think this will work. I don't know if you'll read this. I don't know if you'll get this far. I don't know how I got this far.

This song came on my spotify while I was trail running earlier. Solid instrumental rock jam

Hurricane was nowhere near my area but it was high enough to drive winds here and fro about in the mountains. This poor monarch flew into my sand pit to get away from the 35-45 mph winds. He was ok tho and found good shelter
