Journal Real Sorcerers (and Sorceresses!)

[Asteriskos]

I wanted to do something a little different today. My wife is doing domestic "wifely" stuff and I wanted to feel useful.
So here is a first draft of my feeble attempt to rival the Classic "Real Programmers" of which I was once one!

It's aptly named:


REAL SORCERERS (and SORCERESSES)

Real Sorcerers don't eat quiche. Real Sorcerers can't even spell quiche, they eat
anything that doesn't have pureed insects in it.

Real Sorcerers don't work "skyclad", unless a Real Sorceress insists on it.

Real Sorcerers wear Black "Dockers" and Black designer Polo Shirts when working
and hobnobbing out in the Real World. In cold weather real sorcerers wear full
length Black Leather Trench Coats (with or without Black Hoodies) and Black
Stetson Fedoras.

Real Sorcerers believe in plenty of physical exercise because Magick is hard
work and requires a healthy body.

Real Sorcerers will defend to the death their spells, rites, tools, techniques
and secret formulae, takes a long time to get all that together.

Real Sorcerers spend 70% of their workday fiddling around and then when it's
time to practice they accomplish more in the other 30% than the average person
gets done in a week.

Real Sorcerers document everything in Real Journals because you never know when
you might need it and you'll kick yourself for losing it.

Real Sorcerers are concerned with the aesthetics of their craft if looks like
shit it probably is.

Real Sorcerers spells might not work right the first time but a few simple
adjustments usually do the trick.

Real Sorcerers never work 9 to 5. If any real sorcerers are around at 9 A.M.
it's because they were up all night.

Real Sorcerers don't read grimoires. Reliance on a reference is the hallmark of
a novice and a coward.

Real Sorcerers don't rely on AI. Dumb machines are no better than dumb people.

Real Sorcerers disdain predictability in their daily actions. Predictability is
for compulsive neurotics who were prematurely toilet-trained.

Real Sorcerers don't take apprentices. There was a movie once that clearly showed
that to be a bad idea.

Real Sorcerers sometimes deactivate the wards and shields and give the dogs of
defense a day off. Why would they want to keep all the cacodaemonic succubi out.

Hope you like my take on this Classic!
