What should I expect?
>>25493504Kino stories by Alan Moore and some decent magick instructions.
>>25493504Pushing witchcraft and satanism unironically on kids.
>>25493504It's fantastic. I read it and I'm a magician now. It's basically a history lesson on magic through the years along with how to get started yourself.ignore christfags and practice magic
>>25493504Shadows of evil type shi fr fr
>>25497298I'm a Christian but I like witchy and memento mori shit.
>>25497302that's cool, the first chapter explains how all this stuff can be joined together
I heard some magic snobs being critical of it. I'm sure it's perfectly fine as a piece of casual reading though.
>>25497306I know I read the first few chapters already (on PDF).
>>25497312>I heard some magic snobs being critical of it.Any review from one of them that I can read?I've read it and it wasn't bad. What are the problems with it?
>>25498528All the reviews I've watched on YT have been absolutely gushing over it. I'm not very far into it so I can't give my opinion yet.
>>25497312alan moore is an advocate of what is called high magic, and looks down on what is called low magic like voodoo and chaos magic
>>25498646He's also a dick sucking faggot, so take everything he claims w/ a grain of salt.
>>25498646Moore can look down all he likes, but I've never seen him save a book from cancellation by organizing thousands of nerds to masturbate and orgasm at the same time to charge a sigil.
>>25498793>In November 1995, sales for Vertigo Comics' The Invisibles plummeted, and DC Comics was strongly considering canceling the series. Morrison—a prominent chaos magician—decided to use spellcraft to rescue it.In the letters page of issue #14, Morrison provided instructions for a chaos magic technique known as "charging a sigil". They explained that to launch a sigil into the universe, the conscious mind must be momentarily blanked out—a state of "gnosis" that can be easily achieved at the precise moment of an orgasm.Morrison provided a specific custom-designed sigil representing the continuation and success of the comic and instructed the readership to join together in a synchronized mass ritual (often referred to by fans as a "wankathon") on the night of Thanksgiving 1995.The OutcomeWhether due to actual chaos magic or the unprecedented publicity stunt rallying the fanbase, sales immediately recovered. The series avoided cancellation entirely and successfully ran for its intended duration of 59 issues through June 2000.KEK comics readers are predictably retarded as always.
>>25498848It fucking worked, didn't it?
>>25498853It's all bing bing wahoo shit like DnD & Magic the Gathering.
>>25493504Is this academically interesting/rigerous or is it for the lay-enthusiast tik-tok witch crowd? How does it compare to works like Couliano?
I'd suggest reading this after you finish your new book, OP.
My copy comes tomorrow. $65 Canuckbux can you believe it!
>>25499268It's for tiktok brained idiots. Like all chaos magick from Carroll to Hine to White and so on. Although tbph not even Crowley himself is worth reading.Culianu is good and srs. I recommend all his works.>>25499310This book is also high quality.I would suggest generally everything by Hanegraaf, Magee, Versluis, Faivre, Clarke, Godwin, Eliade, Yates, Culianu, Loza, Lehrich, Styers,Ofc one should read ancient and medieval primary sources too.But all that victorian faggotry occultism of early xx like golden dawn and thelema should be ignored.
>>25499268It's academically interesting. The man was interpreted by some wiccan yelling at him for exposing secrets or something. >"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" —Arthur C. Clarke >"Magnets. How do they work?"—Insane Clown Posse
