My tarot sets

1) Rider–Waite Tarot (Pamela Smith)

This was my first one. I gained first experience with this set. However, I never really got into readings with it. I have to admit that I don’t particularly like the drawing style.

2) UFO Tarot (Arturo Picca)

I bought this more for the artwork. I haven’t done many readings with it, but I really love the art style. I even bought the set twice, and a collage of it now hangs as a painting on my dining room wall.

3) Book of Shadows Tarot (Barbara Moore)

I really liked this set because it’s so beautifully colorful and the art style appeals to me. It depicts some everyday scenes, making it a fitting alternative to the old Rider-Waite Tarot for modern times.

4) Dark Grimoire Tarot (Michele Penco)

This set was the last one I received. And I absolutely love the fantastic, dark designs. It’s the one that has worked best for me so far. Whenever I draw cards, they often seem like answers to my current thoughts.

PSI Wheel Experiment Update (Day 6-10)

The wheel didn’t move. But my garden sunshade collapsed instead. Maybe it was an earthquake. Or my psychic powers have terrible aim.

I question reality, and my motivation wanes. Perhaps the wheel secretly dislikes me?

Experiment: Tarot cards

This is intended to be a parallel long-term experiment that I work on from time to time, not with my full focus, but whenever the opportunity arises.

My goals in this experiment:

1) Readings for myself

I do card readings whenever I feel like it and compare them with actual events.

2) Paint my own set

Perhaps I’ll start with a few random cards or maybe just some simple sketches.

3) Readings for others

Should I feel like doing an extra reading, I'll do some for my patreons or other people.

First five days of PSI-wheel experiments completed

The full experiment log is available on Patreon, here a brief summary:

The psi-wheel barely moved. The interesting part wasn’t the wheel, but the sensation of a shifting attention or warmth. Not quite real heat or pressure, but something that felt tangible enough to move consciously.

Is it my imagination? Honestly, I don’t know.

How can it work?

I can imagine several ways to spin this wheel without touching it or blowing on it: the power of thought, energy from one's hands, becoming the wheel itself, or (the path for the lazy) getting spirits to move it …

Okay, now, I should stop drawing this wheel and finally move it!

It's all fake? The skeptics' possible explanations

My goal is not to convince anyone of anything.

I am certainly aware of the criticism behind this, and I do not wish to ignore it. Therefore, I went through all the possible points that came to my mind.

But for example simple rotation, which could easily be confused with other causes, is therefore not enough for me.

I want to control it, to change its direction spontaneously and intentionally, and to make it wobble back and forth at my own volition and yes, to make it levitate at will.

Experiment: PSI wheel

I'm starting with an experiment that many who have even a passing interest in the paranormal are probably familiar with: the infamous PSI wheel.

Goal: I want to spin the wheel without touching it, without any external physical influence, and at will, in different ways.

First, of course, I need a PSI wheel, so I'll build one myself.

Which paranormal experiments should I try?

I have a long list of paranormal exercises and experiments that I want to try out. I probably won't manage to get through everything on it, but I would still love to exchange ideas and hear about other exciting concepts.

Are there things you’ve always wanted to know if they actually work? Feel free to tell me about them!

Let the experiments begin

I am writing exactly what I actually experience, how I perceive things, what transpires during my experiments and exercises, and what thoughts occupy my mind.

I document my magical process in the form of detailed articles on Patreon. Feel free to visit me there! I also share smaller updates here on Tumblr.

Call me a liar if you find something unbelievable (or if doing so is necessary to preserve your own "intact" worldview). That is perfectly fine. I will not argue with you, nor do I seek to prove anything to anyone, except to myself:

What is true? What are lies? What can be deliberately controlled and experienced? And how?

From paranormal theory to practice

Over the past few years, I have read countless books on a wide variety of paranormal subjects and magic. However, I never actually progressed to a level of controlled and consistently repeatable practice.

Starting today, I intend to change that.

I welcome companions on my magical journey, those willing to join me in discovering what unfolds, and what does not. Simply watch as I stumble through various challenges, so that you can avoid making the same mistakes. Or, let yourself be surprised to see whether I might just manage to achieve things that initially seem impossible.
