Battlefield Magick: Operational Enablement at the Tactical Edge
Friday July 17, 2026 4:00pm - 5:00pm EDT
What does magical practice look like when it is stripped of ceremony, ideal conditions, and extended preparation—and forced to function under pressure, uncertainty, and risk? This workshop examines magic as an applied, embodied practice operating at the tactical edge, one that is embedded in daily life, trained, and judged by outcomes rather than theory. Drawing on over thirty years of military...

  • Take aways: After years of working on divination systems, and squeezing my brain very hard to make systems that would work for people, I ultimately managed to tap into my own ancestral folklore to "make a world" that my readers could make use of. I did so without relying too hard on the Golden Dawn, Aleister Crowley or anyone else in our field: instead, I looked to my community's own traditions and ideas. I would like people to walk away from this sesh feeling similarly challenged. Why must we put a couple of notable 19th century authors on a pedestal, when we have SO many new voices in the world? New divination scholars—many of whom might even be in this audience!— can offer us divination systems with life lessons that *are not* based on European political systems of royalty, patriarchy, and colonialism, because those ideas are—well, quite distasteful. So how can we democratize cartomancy? Important: I will not just be promoting my decks here. I want to lift up many great examples of modern tarot artists.
