Hi all,
Welcome to the last part of my 2024 altar tour! 4/4
What a year it has been! I have learned so much and made so many new friends! My altar has always been a reflection of my psyche, seeing it’s beauty reminds me of the beauty that exists within me. :)
So this is my final little work space where I do pendulum magick and tarot readings. There is a devotional mug to Lord Lucifer which I use for our morning coffee chats. There is also Lucifer’s devotional dragon statue, as well as the dual scrying mirror for him and Faviel.
There is a normal mirror and a statue of a pharaoh’s tomb. The board which the flowers and offerings are placed on dawns Faviel’s sigil and candle. To Faviel I have offered a palm stone, flowers, an acorn, smoky quartz, some black earrings, and some grubs.
Beside him is my pendulum in a selenite charging bowl along with my pendulum mat.
The black and white image you see was a piece of art I made for Archangel Jophiel after he gifted me a vision a year or so ago. I use it whenever I’m reaching out to him.
Beneath my altar is some space for storage where I keep my larger cauldron, mortar and pestle, larger candles, etc. There is also my stand where I keep my broom, fire poker, and shovel. My witch broom is wrapped in a protective seal. I use it to sweep ash from my prayer mat.
And finally, here are a few of the books I have in my collection that have greatly greatly aided me in my craft. Remember to do your research my dears!
The Arbatel of Magick- First English edition 1633, new edition 2013, edited by Earl Marwick

I have many other books in my collection on tarot and astrology in my living room, but these are the books that have had the greatest impact on my craft. Here are a few of those other ones:

•••
I wanted to end this tour off with my reading material because I want to emphasize how important it is to understand that “magick” is not just “stuff”.
I really enjoy all of my magical tools and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having and wanting pretty things or an aesthetically pleasing altar. In fact I believe aesthetic and care are acts of love in themselves. Don’t ever let someone shame you for wanting to decorate and indulge in the aesthetics of your craft.
But please do remember that our greatest magical tool is our minds, our senses, and our experiences- our brains. Remember to read read read lots of material from many different sources. Contemplate honestly on everything you read, hear and experience. Do not take everything you believe today as a fact, do not box yourself in to anything. (Maybe that’s the Luciferian in me speaking lol)
Learn how to do magick alone, without any tools. My magick is not my stuff, although my stuff greatly aids me in my magick. Does that make sense?
Thank you so much for reading! I look forward to growing and learning so much more this year! :)
Blessed be!

I got very very bored at one point looking at the coverage. Yes, we just stole Truss’s seat. But what about other former party leaders? What happened to their constituencies?
With every seat now declared, I decided to look at every Conservative, Labour, Liberal Party, Liberal Democrat, and pre-continuing SDP leader from 1960 to 2010 only and the seat they held when they were in government. If the borders changed, I tracked down the constituency closest to it. Then I looked at the results from this general election. Here’s some things I learnt.
- The former Conservative leader seats that stayed Tory were the ones of Harold Macmillan, Edward Heath, John Major, William Hague, and of course Iain Duncan Smith. The seat of Bromley and Biggin Hill (Macmillan’s Bromley seat) had a majority of only 302. Hague’s stayed Conservative because… well it’s Sunak’s seat.
- The seats of former Tory leaders more closely associated with One Nation Conservatism or Thatcher’s “wets” stayed Tory with majorities within the 4000s (i.e. Edward Heath and John Major)
- Douglas-Home’s went to the SNP. This is the only case of this happening among them all
- Thatcher’s seat went to Labour. Michael Howard’s seat also went to Labour
- Former Labour leader seats had the highest consistent safe seat majorities. The highest was for Knowsley which was created from Knowsley South which was then created from Harold Wilson’s Huyton seat.
- The seats for Hugh Gaitskell’s Leeds South, James Callaghan’s Cardiff South and Penarth and Michael Foot’s Blaenau Gwent and Rhymney (created from his Blaenau Gwent seat) all achieved over 10,000 for a majority.
- Neil Kinnock out of all the former Labour leaders had the lowest majority regarding the seat of Caerphilly (merged with his seat of Islwyn). This seat had a lower majority than Kinnock’s son Stephen, a current MP.
- All the former Labour leader seats were either holds or Labour gains. The gains were for Airdrie and Shotts (John Smith, created from Monklands East), Newton Aycliffe and Spennymoor (Tony Blair, created from Sedgefield) and Cowdenbeath and Kirkcaldy (Gordon Brown).
- The Liberal Democrats gained three seats where a former leader of the party held it. These are North Devon (Jeremy Thorpe), Yeovil (Paddy Ashdown) and Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire (Charles Kennedy, created from the seat Ross, Skye and Lochaber). Excluding the parameters I set yearwise, this number goes up to four with the seat of Mid Dunbartonshire (Jo Swinson, created from the seat East Dunbartonshire).
- The seat of Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale (created from David Steel’s Tweeddale, Ettrick and Lauderdale) is the only Conservative hold among all former non-Conservative leader seats.
- The seats of the two SDP leaders who led in the Alliance before the 1987 election, Roy Jenkins and David Owen, both had their seats gained by Labour. Jenkins’ was a gain from the SNP and Owen’s was a gain from the Tories.
- The two Liberal Democrat holds for their former leaders were for Orkney and Shetland (Jo Grimond, Liberal Party) and Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross (Robert Maclennan, the SDP leader who helped with the merger).
- Nick Clegg’s seat Sheffield Hallam is a Labour hold with the Liberal Democrats second. The majority is 8,189.

It snowed on the final day of last season at @HallamFC1860. This was worse. Below 5 degrees, with 40mph winds lashing heavy rain up the pitch, spring-like it wasn't. Remarkably over 500 still turned up. Even more remarkably the pitch held up and the conditions didn't really dictate the game.
Hallam had done Emley a favour at the weekend, beating Winterton and leaving Emley needing a point to keep alive hopes of nicking the play-off place. There were no favours on offer tonight in a hard fought game. Emley had more of the game in the first half, forecing an early penalty only to be disppointed by the first of a string of saves by Warhurst.
Second half Hallam got into things and really got on top after Emley went down to ten men thanks to a second yellow. They took the lead when Degloramo smashed home a loose ball in the box and nearly had a second when Bradbury used the wind to hit the crossbar from 40 yards.
A good win to end a good season, sending everyone home happy, if very damp. Let's hope August is nice, eh?

Nick & Russell of Pulp look at the model in 1996 and the reality in 1999.
Pictures revive memories of Sheffield's National Centre for Popular Music 20 years on – did you go?
Twenty years ago, the National Centre for Popular Music closed to visitors for the last time having been open for less than 18 months.
By Richard Blackledge (1st May 2020) The Star
The £15 million lottery-funded project officially launched in March 1999 and was envisaged as a celebration of contemporary music and culture, with exhibits including instruments and outfits from the careers of legendary acts.
But the place on Paternoster Row struggled to attract enough visitors, becoming a high-profile failure – after its closure as a museum in July 2000 it was used as a venue for hire before the distinctive building, formed of stainless steel-coated ‘drums’, was turned into Sheffield Hallam University’s students’ union.
Enjoy a virtual trip to the long-gone museum by taking a look at these pictures.
Russell spoke to ITN in 1996. "...I haven't a clue what on earth this interaction is gonna involve, it might, you know, be trying to recreate the experience of being in a band, which would be quite nightmarish. But, you know, we'll reserve judgement on that. And yeah, it's a weird looking buiding, and I'm all for weird looking buildings."
and a month later he left the band.

Full transcript: Sunday September 01 2024, 12.07am BST, The Sunday Times
As a teenager growing up in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, Gemma Styles wasn’t really a gym person. But when she started doing her A-levels, she developed a habit. “I would be going to the gym at 9pm so I was really tired,” she says. “Otherwise I was too stressed out to sleep.”
It worked, sort of: Styles passed the exams and got into Sheffield Hallam University to study a science teaching degree. Except then things got worse. “The comfort or structure that I’d always been used to, at home and at school, the people to check on you and notice if things are OK or not, when that was not there any more, the wheels fell off the train, to be honest. And that was when, in terms of depression, my mental health got really, really bad.”
On the sort of balmy August day that beer gardens are made for, Styles, 33, is sitting opposite me on a grey sofa in her open, sunlit living room, while her eight-month-old daughter wriggles on her knee. Being candid and thoughtful on the subject of mental health is Styles’s gig — she’s part of a generation of millennial women using social media to put these conversations front and centre (see also: Scarlett Curtis, Jameela Jamil, Alice Liveing). On Instagram she shares stories and advice about depression and anxiety with her ten million followers, and on her Good Influence podcast she covers topics like stress and body confidence.
Now she has written a book, Why Am I Like This? — a warm, compassionate and digestible account of why our imperfect human brains sometimes struggle with the demands of modern life. It takes on neuroscience, anthropology and psychology, covering everything from social media to SSRIs, activism to the 24/7 news doom cycle, and the physiology of what exactly our brains are doing when they go into “fight or flight” mode — all dispatched with thoughtful explanations and kind asides.
The ultimate message is to cut yourself some slack. “If you’re someone who is a little bit introspective, or interested in understanding yourself better, that’s who I was writing it for,” Styles says.
In the book she draws on her own experiences with mental illness, writing that by her mid-twenties she was trapped in a cycle of depressive episodes and anxiety, blaming herself for feeling so miserable and unworthy, which of course made it all much worse. “Seeing a therapist in the end turned out to be the best decision I could have made,” she writes.
“I think those times when my own mental health has been really, dangerously poor have given me such an appreciation for being able to find the things that make me happy,” she says now, while emphasising that Why Am I Like This? is not a memoir. “I was very clear from the beginning — I’m not interested in writing a memoir. Because I mean, what’s there to write? I don’t know. I consider myself an exceptionally normal person.”
Strictly speaking, there is one big way in which her life is not exceptionally normal: her little brother is Harry Styles. The same Harry Styles who was formerly the biggest member of one of the biggest boy bands of all time, who in 2016 relaunched as a solo artist with moves like Mick Jagger, and since then has released three colossally successful albums, sold out stadiums around the world and starred in several Hollywood blockbusters. In July he duetted on stage in Hyde Park with his friend Stevie Nicks.
The One Direction circus catapulted his sister — three years Harry’s senior — from total obscurity to the status of accidental star by association. Styles’s social media following exploded (as did their mother Anne’s — now a children’s author with three million Instagram followers of her own). “Having the amount of followers that I have now isn’t something that I went out and courted,” Styles says. “It just happened very much on the periphery of what was going on with someone else.”
It’s worth pointing out that being Harry’s big sister is absolutely not the only reason Styles has such a huge following online. But as that attention snowballed, it did leave her with a decision to make.
“I ended up in that position and I was like, well, what am I going to do with it? If I’m going to have that sort of platform, then do I feel good about what I’m using it for? Can I help people with it? What do I want to talk about? What do I want to be known for?” Today she has found her calling.
Even though her kid brother is now to be found harmonising with a member of Fleetwood Mac, he’s still there for her when she needs him. Literally: on the shoot for this article Uncle Harry turned up to babysit his niece. In the acknowledgments of Why Am I Like This?, Styles thanks “my mum, for holding me tight along the way” and “H for the pep talks and your endless wisdom”.
“My family are very open about mental health, which I have found so amazing and comforting,” she says. “I know that’s something that not everybody has when they go through mental health issues. So I am very, very grateful for that.”
Has she given her brother any wisdom of her own over the years? “I think we all help each other, to be honest. People in your family, they don’t have to understand everything, but giving people space to talk about what they’re going through is such a valuable thing for anyone.”
That’s what she does for her followers on Instagram, who will regularly message to tell her they feel less alone thanks to something she has shared. “A big part of being human is we like to feel like we’re understood.” Social media can be a hornet’s nest, but Styles thinks it is possible to avoid the darker, more polarising sides. “Be intentional about what you’re consuming. We talk about algorithms a lot now, but if there are things that you’re following that are making you feel rubbish, you don’t have to follow them.”
Has having a very well-known member of her family shaped her approach to social media? “I think H is a really good example actually of someone who has been introspective enough about their own social media use to know what feels good and what doesn’t,” she says. “He’s not super-active on social media. And that seems to work for him the best at the moment.” She did the same during her maternity leave. “I disappeared for months.”
She recently sought help again. For a little while she had been wondering if some of the things she had struggled with all her life — finding it hard to motivate herself and having difficulties maintaining the admin of friendships — could be ADHD. When she started reading about how it manifests in women, she had a light-bulb moment … sort of. “I was like, oh my God, that is me,” she says, “I think. Or am I just convincing myself of that as an excuse for why I’ve always been rubbish at all these things?”
Why Am I Like This? is not a manifesto, although Styles is clear-eyed about the ways in which the mental health system is not working. According to research by the membership organisation NHS Providers, in September 2023 more than 1.8 million people were on waiting lists for these services. “The gap between people being aware of anxiety, for example, and there actually being support for any kind of mental illness is a canyon,” she says. She is an ambassador for a research charity called MQ Mental Health Research, which delivered a letter to Downing Street in July 2023 highlighting the desperate need for commitment to mental health services. “I have been dealing with this for more than a decade,” she says. “So I’ve got skin in the game. I genuinely care.”
Finally she made a GP appointment, expecting them to dismiss the idea — instead she was referred for an assessment and diagnosed with ADHD in 2022. In signature style, she shared the news on Instagram: “I have ADHD!” she wrote. “Oddly feel more nervous to talk about it with you than I have any other mental health-related things, but here we go …” In no time at all her DMs were full of notes from other women who had also been diagnosed, thanking her for her openness.
Two years on, the diagnosis has taught her to be more compassionate towards herself. “There’s such shame that goes with the particular things that people with ADHD tend to struggle with,” she says. “It does feel like a moral failing, like laziness. The label has given me a different lens to understand my own behaviour, to look on myself a bit more kindly and to try to make life easier for myself.” In Why Am I Like This?, she writes about hoping to understand more about what influence ADHD could have had on her mental health throughout the years.
She also hopes the book will help others to understand their idiosyncratic, imperfect brains — “I take a great amount of joy from being able to explain things to people in a digestible way” — and to keep learning herself. “I’ve spent so much of my life not understanding why I struggle with certain things. And I think it has been such a help for me to have more of an understanding of how my brain works.”

Stereo MC's, 1.2.2003, Praha, Malá sportovní hala
Značnou dávku trpělivosti museli projevit čeští fanoušci londýnské skupiny Stereo MC‘s, jejíž počátky spadají do konce osmdesátých let, protože koncertu se dočkali v době, kdy kariéra skupiny dozrála až k nedávnému vydání alba největších hitů nazvaného Retroactive, kterému předcházely čtyři řadové desky.
Průlomovým se pro Stereo MC‘s stal singl Elevate My Mind z roku 1990, který patří na jejich druhé album Supernatural ze stejného roku. Ovšem daleko větší poprask způsobilo jejich následující a opravdu jedinečné album Connected, které vyšlo o dva roky později. Connected se zařadilo mezi vůbec nejlepší alba devadesátých let, odstartovalo zájem o hip hop smíchaný s prvky popu, jazzu a funku a obrazně řečeno: zajistilo skupině nesmrtelnost. Ta za něj zcela po zásluze získala hned dvě ceny při udílení Brit Awards: v kategoriích skupina roku a album roku. Mimochodem, až se někde dočtete, že jednou z kvalit alba Connected je, že se celé nahrávalo živě bez použití jediného samplu, nenechte se zmást, není to pravda, nýbrž cosi jako mýtus, což ostatně k obdobně legendárním deskám patří.
Pro skupinu Stereo MC‘s, kterou už dlouhá léta tvoří frontman Rob Birch, programátor a DJ Nick Hallam a také stálá doprovodná vokalistka Cath Coffey, se však Connected stalo tak trochu pastí. Celosvětový úspěch této desky zavedl skupinu na přibližně dvouleté, pochopitelně velmi vyčerpávající turné po celém světě a návrat do jejich studia Frontline v londýnské čtvrti Brixton neproběhl hladce. Čas od času se Stereo MC‘s připomněli remixem, pro vydavatelství K7 sestavili kompilaci DJ Kicks a s vydáním další řadové desky otáleli dlouho, až do roku 2001. Ta devítiletá pauza však Stereo MC‘s prospěla a s albem Deep Down & Dirty zažili důstojný comeback ozdobený hned několika hity.
Do Prahy přijeli Stereo MC‘s jako jedna z hlavních hvězd festivalu na pokračování s názvem Instinctive Beat. Prvního února v Malé sportovní hale na pražském Výstavišti kromě nich vystoupila nottinghamská trojice Schmoov a domácí Stephunk - nový projekt Štěpána Tůmy, leadera bývalých Liquid Harmony. Za vydatné pomoci dechové sekce, baskytaristy a perkusionisty představil svou současnou tvorbu, která se pohybuje v temnějších polohách kombinujíc breakbeat s funkem.
Stereo MC‘s mají bezesporu dostatek kvalitních a dobře známých skladeb na to,aby hravě sestavili zajímavý koncertní program, do Prahy přijeli Rob Birch a Nick Hallam pouze s bubeníkem a dvěma doprovodnými vokalistkami, chyběla jen zdravotně indisponovaná Cath Coffey Velmi slušně zaplněná a především nadšená Malá sportovní hala slyšela všechny jejich starší hity, řadu písniček z poslední desky Deep Down & Dirty a k tomu ještě zbrusu novou skladbu Crossfire, která patří na jejich připravované album, to by se k nám mělo dostat ještě v průběhu letošního roku.
