Introduction Immediate apologies to those expecting spiritual commentary regarding “the flow of The Way”; the DAO that I’m going to talk about here is the Decentralised Autonomous Organisation, a relatively new concept in organisational structure with a heavy technological underpinning….

The art of Oenomancy (divination by wine) has been around for thousands of years but – unlike Theurgy and Thaumaturgy – there doesn’t appear to be a tradition of Oenurgy, magical workings with wine. This became relevant yesterday as I… Continue Reading →
