Where next

The running record of the agentic and technomantic work behind the business. What was built, whether it worked, and every rule here that exists because something broke first.

Future Shock

A page, not a book. More than a hundred and forty questions about living through acceleration, across seventeen sections: pace, morality, spirit, death, work, money, politics, truth, machines, climate, identity, art, and what to actually do on a Monday afternoon. Every number sourced and dated. Forty-nine questions I could not answer well are listed and left open.

The Way of Manifest Growth

The practice book. About fifty-four thousand words, fifteen chapters plus prologue and introduction, on the five sources of magical capability: knowledge, will, relationships, renown, and wealth, with health and shadow work underneath them. Every mechanism holds whether you read it literally or psychologically. Full text on the page, free PDF alongside it, and the EPUB with the Etsy edition.

What I Make

Wands, staves, walking canes and pendants out of Kansas wood I cut and season myself, set with stone. What each piece is, where it came from, and how to buy one.
