And but one word with one of us? couple it with
something; make it a word and a blow.
- William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

There seems little point in practicing magic unless you want to do at least a few extraordinary things with this incarnation.
-Peter J Carroll, The Octavo

Like “love,” “hope” is one of those ridiculously disproportional words that by all rights should be a lot longer.
- Jim Butcher, Turn Coat

The starry-eyed idealists of today have submerged their critical faculties beneath a tidal wave of slop marketed by those old hippies who now sell a user-friendly dilution of their original enlightenment.
-Peter J Caroll, Psybermagick

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.

Another related point is that theological eclecticism to the tune of replacing this structure with pagan deities so it appeals to personal taste does the ritualist no favours as it undermines their ability to leverage a power dynamic that is better understood and has been employed countless times.

Incense for working with the Special Intecessor for the Dead, Holy Confessor, Patron of Animals, Patron of Babies, Patron of Boatmen, etc,

St Nicholas of Tolentino

2 Parts Pine Resin
1 Part Frankincense
1 Part Opopanax
1/4 Part Cedar Wood
1/4 Part Cedar Leaf

I think this one is going to be special, formulated on his feast day.

The Rite of Saint Nicholas

In his excellent book, The Chaos Protocols, Gordon White gives his Rite of Saint Nicholas. I'm not at liberty to reprint it here, but I heartily recommend it. This incense and my relationship with Saint Nicholas were originally inspired by Wizard White's work, in particular this Rite but also the Saints' course work offered through Runesoup.com. I am also indebted to the work of Gnome School for reminding about St Nicholas. Incorporate this incense into the Rite of Saint Nicholas by offering it at the crossroads along with the spring water. Also offer it on All Soul's Day and his feast day: September 10.
