It's not half empty, there's just room for improvisation.
So I'm halfway through launching my set of 23 sigils, and I thought id check in to say it's going very well. Of late my life feels like it's ramped up a notch or two, I feel like all the self help books promise. I feel very in touch with my "Self"/self or whatever you want to call it, and that I'm on a path I've chosen for myself. Also I think that by repeatedly externalities my consciousness I'm becoming to understand magic more and more. Subsequently I feel like I can appreciate the writings of Key23 and Frequency23 more and more, while I feel more and more annoyed with places like barbelith temple and myspace magic forums.
I've been refining my sigil method more and more, and it feels like I can project my will out much more effectively than I used to able to. Once I'm done with all 23 I'll post my refined "sigil technique for dummies", see if we can bring about this ultraculture everyone is talking about.
As always, my plan has deviated slightly. I'm developing the last sigil (the one I figured out on acid) into an extended piece of [imagination/will] as a visual narrative which I'm currently writing and drawing. It's called Glyph and I currently have 60% of the script done and all the character designs and art style down.
Once I'm done with the sigils I'm going to be looking for another method of alchemy to take me up until my 20th, any suggestions?
Anyhow, thank you for reading and here's something I wrote with a lot of time on my hands and an old school dictionary. Hey! You might even lean something:
Neologism; new word or expression, sometimes an old word in with new significance.
Like today’s word Jingoism, extreme and bellicose nationalism. The word was defined by a hit song lyric from 1983 “we don’t want to fight buy by jingo if we do” we’ll define it with a new song “by jingo that’s good suplerknochen”. Albeit it’s not as catchy, but suplerknockechen is a delicious German dish which consists of pickled pork and sauerkraut.
So now we’ve solved the problem of Jingoism. No longer do we have these dangerous nationalists running around trying to protect their land. Now we have people running around with this extreme and bellicose love of suplerknochen , trying to get you taste this strange yet unusual dish. I reckon A lot of problems could be solved this way. So many people define themselves behind a word. I am a man. I am black. I am insane. If you are these words, then we can solve your problems by changing the words. It’s very simple.
So take my lump of ice (advice), get yourself a battle axe. This is usually a large polished stone. In Neolithic times this was seen as a great symbol of prestige and authority. It may have gone out of fashion, but I tell ya, walk around with this huge hunk of rock on a stick, people are going to listen when you tell them your changing their words.
Spastic is actually scientific word. It’s when you’re effected by muscle spasm or exaggerated stiffness of the muscles. It’s now un-pc to use this word in Britain. More technical words are employed, like cerebral palsy. The reason this word went bad is because it’s fun to say. People started using it as an insult. Then we have to stop using it because it’s derogatory, obviously, as it’s an adjective for an undesirable state. So we have to change our definitions to words that aren’t fun to say. “You’re a cerebral palsy” isn’t as catchy for 12 years olds like “You’re a spastic”. Im not saying spastic is a clever word, or that it’s funny. I’m just showing how our language is being de-significised , so all the words we like to say have no meaning. It’ll come to a point were we’re talking baby gobldey gook, just because these words are fun to say, but have no real meaning.
Calvinism, is a set of rules set out by John Calvin, he says that scripture is the sole rule of faith, and is necessary because human nature is radically corrupt because of the fall. As we’ve learnt so far, this man has built his house on sand. Words turn old and senile and become completely different things. My granddad still shouts pussy around the streets when he’s looking for his cat. My uncle does the same thing, and he’s looking for something entirely different.
Shinto, this is the national religion of Japan, it’s pre-Buddhism. Like a lot of religions it started with primitive nature worship, as the nomadic tribes were still very connected to nature, they saw the landscape as supernatural and it all had a profound effect on their psychology. As the people changed, so did Shinto and it became a polytheism. With the different aspects of nature organised into specific parts relative to them. Shrines were built with symbolic representations to these gods, known as shintai. Myths and legends known to everyone were weaved into this system of gods, and a logical creation story was derived. The religion flourished and everyone was using it to make sense of a world that seemed strange and supernatural. Around 8 A.D this folklore was complied and written down in a secular manner, to preserve the teachings from Buddhism and Confucianism influences which were coming in from Korea. Once it was written down ,the text became a point of reference. In an attempt to preserve the original wisdom, it the text became scripture and absolute truth. So when the Buddhists and confuciasmists eventually altered the text that became the truth. A number of churches and different sects rose up in opposition of each other with differing interpretations of the solid text, which was open to interpretation.
Moral: Eat more suplerknockechen you crazy jingo.
