    Scott Stenwick

    Scott Michael Stenwick was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1969. A natural storyteller from early childhood, he was drawing pictures and assembling them into simple narratives before he could read or write. He developed an interest in esoteric studies as a teenager following in the footsteps of his great-grandmother, a professional astrologer and medium, and began practicing ritual and ceremonial magick.He attended Saint Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota and graduated in 1991 with a degree in psychology. In college he worked on two novels but eventually decided that neither was suitable for publication without substantial revision. His first published novel, Arcana, was released in December 2009 by Pendraig Publishing. He is also a prolific blogger at Augoeides, where he has been publishing original esoteric work and documenting the paranormal since 2006, and the author of several non-fiction books on the Western Esoteric Tradition.In addition to his writing projects he currently works in the information technology field as a technical solutions architect. In this capacity he has worked for several Fortune 500 companies and designed and developed numerous business applications.

      Cthulhu Unbound

      As the waxing moon rose overhead, bathing the forest in silvery light, the boy strode purposefully along an overgrown trail through the dense woods. The autumn wind surged erratically, bitterly cold, rustling the remaining leaves that still clung with tenacity to the sheltering trees. Dressed in only a light windbreaker, he shivered as the wind picked up but gritted his teeth and pressed onward. Tonight was too important to be thwarted by the weather. It was all part of the ordeal.

      That afternoon he had gleefully rechecked the astrological alignments for the evening and verified that they were correct. Jupiter and Saturn were moving into conjunction in Scorpio, the sign of death and regeneration, trine Mercury, Uranus, and his natal Sun. The conjunction marked a moment when the magical powers of the universe rose to a zenith that he could command. At that instant, now only twenty or so minutes away, he would summon Cthulhu, mightiest of the ancient Elder Gods, to smite his foes and obtain vengeance. At least, that was what the book told him.
