Next Year
The change of a small number on a special day of the year does not seem too interesting for a magician. Alas, it is nevertheless, not because of the "event" but because a lot of energy is set free by millions and millions of people all over the world. Like a wave the energy surrounds the globe in about 24 hoursteps, braking the barriers of all the little selfimposed distractions that prevent us from grasping all new chances and opportunities.
For a few hours all people (well, the most) think about doing lots of things different from "now" on. Often enough, they do not really do it - does not matter for me. The energy is there, the gates are held open by the global spirit of hope, fear and expectations for the coming year. This is a powerful source for magic - and its free.

Changes
Magic has the purpose to change something. For the good of the mage mostly. Of course, because he has all the work with it and since magic works best when the motivation is strong, the greatest success comes when the mage has a personal interest in his result.
I made some changes the last few weeks. Some concerning just personal viewpoints and priorities. I stopped putting much energy into things where other people can't or don't want to meet my claim for quality. It leads to constant frustration that i am not willing to accept anymore.
Some changes i started affect my environment in a more direct manner. There are some trails i needed to set up or disconnect. Paths, that will have to exist (even if this means out of nowhere) and others that i do not need anymore. I highlighted some directions that i will need to follow in some time and i sent out some astral probes to search for people and connections i need.
Perhaps i will come by. If you notice, just give a passing stranger a smile.

Hitting the floor...
...may be of help sometimes. But it depends on the height, the fall starts from. The fall may be long and slow and perhaps it is so long that you do not know you're falling, anyway. Problem with this: There will be the floor coming along some day. If this day is far from now, the hit will be severe and devastating nonetheless. Or, it will be devastating right because of this. But after all, we do not choose this, that thought is hopefully alleviating the effects...

Living my live in Babylon
Sometimes i step back and analyze the Situation i am in right now. Last time i did this, i thought about this friend of mine, who seems to have cut the connection after having had different opinions about a minor and for the short time of being relevant quite secondary problem. This was kind of new for me: I know arguments and i know some of the vexatious things that i sometimes do unintentionally. But this time i have no clue what really happened, i guess it was way beneath the surface of this argument. Neither apologies nor just letting some time pass seemed to help. I did all i could do - from a distance there is no forgotten option or hidden hint how to come together again, the only one having a choice now is my friend. I just let the door open. He is welcome.

Rituals
It has been a very long time, since i did an classic ritual. So it felt like stopping by at home during this very long journey. It was a very hard part of the journey, these last weeks, and so i thougt about contemplation. Getting in touch again. Telling hello to old friends and older enemies and letting them know, i am still on the road here in this realm of tragic despair, created by the free will of its inhabitants.
The circle closed just with the smoke of the inscent, i sat and asked for the guidance i need right now. I tried to get the water flowing again and i did, as usual, got all requests fufilled. I am paying for all this, of course, in the currency i am always paying: I won't go home to stay for as long as it will be demanded.
