The toki pona 'book' of the possibilities of time I had been thinking for a long time about making my own tarot deck. However, due to my lack of drawing skills, I had given up on making one for myself. Then I came across the Toki Pona language. 120 words, simple grammar, and unique glyphs. At first, it seemed like a mere curiosity, and I didn't delve into it. Later, an idea occurred to me: each tarot card encompasses an entire concept, not just a single word or phrase, and Toki Pona works in a very similar way. Is it possible to create a combination of the two? The answer is that it was

The new and improved homepage

The moment has come, finally the main page of allkindsofmagic.com is up and running. Basically just a navigation page with some graphics and video. But of course it still took me several hours of work to put it together. I hope you will like it as much as I do.

Welsh Witchcraft by Mhara Starling

Oliver's Very Brief Yet Perfectly Unprofessional Book Review Get your cauldron ready, because a real modern witch will guide you through the magical realm of Welsh. Coincidence - if you believe in such things - is the reason I came across this book. I had no previous knowledge of the traditions, legends and myths associated with Welsh witchcraft, so I was about to embark on a great adventure once I had immersed myself in the book. I must admit that I was very surprised because, despite its apparent brevity, the book is very ‘dense’. Every page is full of legends, exercises, the author's own

SteganoMagic 2.0 - Digital magic to enhance the focus on our goals

I first heard about digital photo steganography a few years ago and was instantly fascinated. The possibility of hiding secret information in the data content of an image has continued to interest me ever since. There have been several versions of the software - some of which even allow you to hide a coloured image. The current version includes a “new twist”: the masking image. Beyond the technical curiosity, I wondered what magical use such a program could have. Consider that we are talking about 5 separate images - condensed into one picture. Here is one possibility for use in magic: energy

An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will - A difficult-to-follow rede

At first glance, it seems really simple: as long as you are not harming anyone else, there is no limit, no rule, no doctrine to what you are allowed to do and how you should do that. But if we start to delve a little into the possible interpretations of this guide, we may find ourselves looking at the infinite depths of conditional circumstances. How do we define an absolute definition of what it means to be a harm to someone? What we - based on our current moral guidelines, our knowledge and experience of the world - consider to be right and harmless, may be downright harmful to someone

My 5 minutes in the morning

After waking up, my first move - after turning off the alarm - tends to be to browse social media portals. Although I grew up at a time when we didn't have social networks, mobile phones - let alone smartphones - or even internet access, yet in just a few years it became an almost vital part of my life to regularly check "what's going on in the world". Of course, these social networking sites only show me a very small slice of reality - this is obviously because it is people who share information, who filter and share it on their own channels according to their own discretion, as we all do.

Dreams of Fire by Nathaniel Wayne - A book review

Oliver's Very Brief Yet Perfectly Unprofessional Book Review It should have been at least a two-part series. - this is what I was constantly thinking about while reading and after finishing the book. This fantasy story was captivating, with an interesting storyline, peculiar characters and an intriguing backstory. I wanted to know more about so many of the characters. I have so many unanswered questions: Where did Morrighan come from? What are the characteristics of the different Fey races? In what ways have humans conquered their natural ancestral lands from them? How did the Science Guild
