I've been on a number of forums, bulletin boards and feeds which have devolved into chaos magic memes and 'lol random' posts.
This is prosperity gospel without the Christianity.
"cast iron is a closed practice"
I'm sorry, but what the very fuck?
It's like gender. 2 terms are insufficient.
I think this is a really valuable insight. It's another duality that needs to be questioned :)
Well that's my podcast listen for tomorrow sorted - thanks.
This seems like a good approach. It certainly changes the power dynamic between the terms.
I'm currently wondering if the whole concept of separating the spiritual development from the material/practical is a bit of a trap in itself.
I agree with absolutely everything you say here, but at the same time -
I'm finding that thinking of practical magic as 'low' may be influencing me in ways that I didn't perceive before.
It's making me think about the division a lot more.
What's everyone's thoughts on the concepts of High & Low magic?
A useful framework or a set of outdated ideas?

Australian artist and witch Rosaleen Norton (1917-1979) was devoted to the god Pan, whom she believed ‘is the spirit whose body — or such of it as can be seen in these four dimensions (the fourth being time) — is the planet Earth.’ #InternationalWomensDay
Wondering if I should conduct another hunt for the Heritage Witch for this year‘s Walpurgisnacht to help gear up for the midterms… Is that something folks would be interested in?

It's like an early D&D encounter table.
Interesting results. They go against the conclusions of many other studies.

Cheers for the recommendation. Bebergal's book looks like it's going to be so much fun :)
Has anyone read Joscelyn Godwin's Harmonies of Heaven and Earth: Mysticism in Music from Antiquity to the Avant-Garde? Is it worth a look?
Does anyone have any recommendations on book that cover the intersection of music and the occult?

So glad @cmnpod.bsky.social mention authoritarianism!
"If you accept a world that is full of pluralities, a world that is ungrounded and arbitrary, you are left with one option, and that is to be responsible for the world."
Great episode all around, but brilliant around 26:00 -> 30:00.

There are rumours it is considering introducing a 'commercial research exception' for AI training. This would be disastrous. It would mean handing the life's work of British creatives to AI companies for free, to train their models on.

What are some depictions of magic in film/tv that you feel really captures what real world magic looks or feels like?
What are some of the most accurate depictions, or what scenes evokes the same sort of sensory or somatic experiences of performing ritual magic?

Deren also wrote about viewing artistic creation as a form of witchcraft to manipulate time and space.
I've linked to Ritual in Transfigured Time, but it's worth watching Meshes of the Afternoon, Ritual and Witch’s Cradle in sequence as they could be viewed as forming a kind of occult journey.
When she discussed Meshes of the Afternoon she framed it in occult terms, but mostly because she felt surrealism was interchangeable with occultism & that surreal objects were the cabalistic symbols of the 20th century because they both addressed the real forces underlying events.
Much of Maya Deren's work is implicitly informed by her occult practices. It's probably most notable in Ritual in Transfigured Time and The Witch's Cradle.

This kind of list makers are very petty people 🙄

Yeah, I remember the AD&D Dungeon Master's guide which had a 'table of wandering harlots' for use in city encounters.
Things were pretty bad.
The truth is that actually writing code isn't the bottleneck in development - it's the analysis and planning. AI is solving a problem that doesn't exist, but managers like it because it seems to promise efficiency and staff reduction.
It's fascinating listening to this one alongside the original blues tune, though this is worth doing with When the Levee Breaks, I Can't Quit You Baby or any of their blues covers:

Okay highly amused watching Supernatural for the first time. Season 10 they have a tulpa mention (ugh), but then Sam says "It's not a tulpa" and Dean says to put some Schwarzenegger on it and imitates "It's not a tumour". This came out after my article www.blueflamemagick.com/index.php/20... 1/?
