Oddbean new post about login | logout If I can recommend you something. Alan Moore, the comic book writer that made the watchmen. He's a magician and he has a couple documentaries about it on YouTube. But you should buy the 3 part book called Promethea. It's not explicitly a step by step guide to magick but it explains the themes and mechanisms pretty well. Also look up the psychonaut field manual. Which is free download
Alan Moore is my favorite, the older I get, the more I see him as a prophet

Watching them RN
OMG, I refused to use my powers of persuasions with my language, because I don't want to persuade manipulate people However, I do that with my art I communicate visually
See you're already magically minded
George R. R. Martin created ELDEN RING World, and it has a Tree of Life and is 100% magic Is he also a Chaos Magician?
I don't know actually. I never heard anything about him 🤷🏽 but done people are secretive. If he's not he just see certainly researched stuff to write about it. Google is your friend
Google is not my friend, friend
Mmmmm Fine Google is a tool. Think of Google as hugin and munin. It brings you whispers from the wind.
Google is Judas, he will betray you
Hugin and munin need to know nothing about you. They work for you. I'm not dating make Google your diary. Be smart in every action you do.
💯
I see patterns everywhere, and cause I don't use my powers of persuasions, I get caught in a repeating loop Have you ever experienced this?
That's called synchronicity. Look up Carl Jung
I'm aware just wanted to know if you personally experienced it, and how you dealt with it
Oh well. In general all of life you kind of have to roll with the punches right? There's not really anything wrong you can do. Because there's an argument to be made free will vs determinism yadda yadda BUT The key is if you notice the pattern then you're learning. And you can be more analytical in what you do. Notice the pattern, and decide if you want that outcome or if your life needs a change. Half the time it's messages from God or the universe or whatever you want to call it, like I get angel numbers CONSTANTLY. I choose to notice it. Then take a moment and think about what I was doing or thinking in that moment. Like if I'm out I'm like like dammmmnn that tattoo girl is fucking banging then I see 5:55 (change) I'm like oh yeah... My ex was smoking hot but ended up having all sorts of issues. Maybe I shouldn't go after people who whose outward appearance almost screams issues right to begin with. 🤷🏽
Notice the Pattern and Get into a Magician state of mind to help break and create a new pattern 🧙♂️
It's not always about breaking the pattern. Tbh if you think about stereotypical magicians in like books and stuff. It might be more about reinforcing the pattern to most. I want her to fall in love with me. Love goddesses like roses and string men that smell like wood smoke and patchouli. So I'm going to dance around this fire gather a bunch of roses and bring this woman the biggest prize I can find. 🤷🏽
The right magic for the right situation
Is he the mentler that goes around wearing big pimp-daddy coats and doing comic books ? What has predicted to qualify him as being prophetic ?
No he looks like a hermit. You're probably thinking of Granny Morrison who is also a chaos magikian
Didn't know there were that many chaos magicians knocking about .
Most people do magick and don't realize they're magickians 🤷🏽 Ever blow out a birthday candle?
Yeah of course.
Congrats you're a chaos magickian
Wheres my badge ?!
You're already on it then probably because I feel like he can't shut up about magick. Grant Morrison is also a chaos magickian and they have a decades long wizard battle going in their body of work. Maybe you're ready to move up to something more advanced then. One of my favorite directors is a magickian. Alejandro Jodorowski. You should look into psychomagic. https://youtu.be/_dma9h0qw6A?si=QziYCRlUhIyZZFpm In his mind he's acting as a psychologist. Having people tell him their problems. Then he comes up with a symbolic act that the person performed like performance art. And it helps people work through their issues and finally put them aside.
