My Myth

My Babylon 

A serial novel about the paranormal and dark desires. The story of a cursed young man who has an intimate view of the Apocalypse. My Babylon weaves elements of urban fantasy, erotic horror, and real-world occult practices to form a unique personal tale that thrills, terrifies, and even enlightens. 

In My Babylon, the magus, consumed with longing, seeks to create a replacement for his lost love using a grisly ritual that requires the theft of a body. Through her creation, he learns that he has a much bigger role to play, and that she may be a form of salvation not only for him but for others. 

The Complete edition contains all five books of the My Babylon story. 

Reviews for My Babylon

“Captivating, interesting, dark, and at times even funny.“ 

"Darkly horrific, Lovecraftian work. Parts of it make you squeamish, parts send chills down your spine. A deft illustration of the black side of the human soul." 

"What I really loved about this work was what was left unsaid—telling a story with details rather than stating the obvious is becoming a lost art. What surprised me about this work was how much it drew me in despite my merely mild interest in the occult." 

"James has put together a great story with great characters who feel authentic, even as they go about tasks that you’d be horrified to find out your neighbors were up to. And even though Mike, the magician who narrates this story, is involved in really heinous activities, I still like the guy. And that is an impressive feat." 

"Not for the timid this book, but well worth it." 

"An intriguing look at what drives us …" 

"It’s the struggle to remain sane, keep discrete, and keep the emotional compulsions in control that structures the suspense of this thriller." 

"In the end, you’re left with the sense of a masterfully conceived protagonist who gives credence to the idea of the unsympathetic character. It also maintains an orbiting cluster of supporting characters who are interesting in their own right but also necessary to the development of the protagonist."

Feathered wings

Never seen

But Felt

Warm against my shoulders.

A comfortable Silence.

You know the answer.

Whatever the question.

And your eyes tell me that I do too.

Time strolls on

And you’ve seen it all

From end to end

After being lost in the mail for weeks, I finally received my new Shadowrun tarot deck from my favorite artist, Echo Chernik. My crappy pictures do not do it justice. Please check out: http://www.echo-x.com/.

Yes, there will be some free cyberpunk themed tarot readings tonight!

In case it helps anyone they do have 100 copies of Shadowrun tarot at Gen Con.

Djehuty was the primary mediator between good and evil, making sure that each was in balance, one never getting a decisive victory over the other. As the scribe, he was the one who created the written word and the Egyptian hieroglyphics. In the Underworld, he was the one who recorded where the scales rested in the weighing of the heart against the feather of Ma’at.

As a member of the Ogdoad, Djehuty was self-created, having no parentage. As the master of divine law (both the physical and moral laws), Djehuty was the definition of Ma’at and its proper use. Djehuty made the calculations for the establishment of the universe we live in. His feminine counterpart was Ma’at, who is the force that maintains the universe.

The Egyptians credited Djehuty as the divine author of all works of science, philosophy, religion, and magick. The Greeks went even further and made him the author of every work of every branch of knowledge, human or divine.
