Tomorrow’s the launch of the Black Work course. If you’ve signed up, please send me the time and location of your birth for creating the Genius name.

The course sign-up site is located at this link.

I’d write up a bunch of salesey stuff, but it’s been a long day after a long night, and I’m wiped out. I’ll repost the outline of the course below, but that’s about all I can muster at the moment.

I’ve broken up the Black Work Course into three phases (eliminating the pretentious names cause it’s too much like an Order, and I got good advice about that idea that I’m taking for once). This is still a tentative outline, because there’s more I want to cram in there somewhere. I can’t seem to think of everything just yet, but this is the minimum of what I plan to cover*:
