Writing Again, Getting My Blog Organized
Oct. 28th, 2022 08:32 pmRestarted my free-writing practice today. Fifteen minutes. My goal is to do it everyday after my ritual-meditation-divination routine. Today I mostly wrote a fiction scene. Which was pretty fun!
Also, finally got my blog in order. After volunteering to host Fellowship of the Hermetic Rose for @ecosophia I figured I better settle a few of the open questions I had around niches, look and feel, and what to do with the old content.
The site,Magick Lore, is linked on the sidebar.
I went ahead and dropped my programming site to focus on magick and the occult. The motivation is gone. My age might have something to do with it too. As I get closer to my 60th birthday I just don't feel the same motivation for incesting my time in computer tech like I had 40+ years ago.
So magick it is for my blog. And since it is my blog I have decided it is okay to include my cringe worthy posts from the archives as well as random thoughts on life now and then.
What I really like is the theme for the blog. It is super simple. Not fancy at all. Super fast to load because it is simple and doesn't having any privacy invading tracking scripts. I also like how it looks on my iPhone. More focus on content so easier for me to read.
I do think this work I have been doing in The Dolmen Arch is helping. My clarity in making choices is growing by the week. Helped also no doubt by increasingly low expectations of modern culture.
Some tech talk:
The tech I am using for my blog is the static site generator, Hugo. Basically I can write posts much like this one and when I am done I have it regenerate my web site so I can upload it anywhere. If my web host is taken down by post-apocalyptic zombie hordes I can just copy it elsewhere. Or run it on my own system. Just as important backups are quick and easy on my local computer with a remote copy on my laptop and at Gitlab.
Back to the writing. My plan is to do the free writing for a while and begin to develop my content ideas for the blog. Hosting occult courses is on the list, for sure. As is looking into the past for resources on how people lived with less energy, especially the occult aspects.
