Reconciling the parts

Back when I was questing (lost? lost-as-a-necessary-precursor-to-be-found?) amidst the dark forest, I manifested “foxwizard” as my moonlight aspect. As foxwizard I could explore that which lies beyond the default (and The Overton Window of acceptability). In this mode I co-hosted The Rekindling (post-doom sensibilities for the collapse-aware) and went deep mythopoetic. I also got naïvely swept up in the promise of web3 for a while—and learned a few more lessons about how Power works (and how Moloch corrupts). I also went much, much deeper into the actual practice of what we might call ‘magic.’

But meanwhile: Dr. Jason Fox withered. My “award-winning speaker and leadership advisor” aspect—within which I do much great work and am much loved by clients—bored me. The curse of knowledge became very real: I had little patience for those of us still operating with the base assumptions of modernity. Which is, in hindsight, quite unnecessarily arrogant and not very helpful.

I’ve humbled up now, though. And whilst my body is literally allergic to anything inauthentic—and whilst I still hold intellectual honesty as one of the highest ideals (which makes being commercially effective extra tricky in the lemon market of this demented attention economy we share)—I feel the need to reconcile the parts. To not be foxwizard or Dr. Jason Fox but both at once. And something else entirely.

Here are the two main parts I purport. First there’s Dr. Jason Fox “Archwizard of Ambiguity” (most fantastic).

And then there’s this rogue entity—that trickster fae creature—the foxwizard.

The thrust of this all is: I am now focused on sunsetting the Dr. Jason Fox website (drjasonfox.com – a domain I have maintained for 15+ years) and bringing everything to foxwizard.com (I’m keeping this because, whilst there are many Jason Foxes in the world—there’s only one Dr. Jason Fox who happens to be a wizard). I look forward to not working with squarespace anymore; I’m quite at home here on ghost.

As for the book I have ostensibly been writing for you these past nine years... it’s still happening. My body has become quite the filter for what is true and real, and the courting of this book is working it’s wyrd magic on me. I am becoming the person I need to be to write this to you, if that makes sense. And these things work in their own time.
