Ritualistically Sacrificing People’s Images Upon the Social Media Altar of Hate

It’s honestly kind of disturbing how obsessed people get with random social influencers, whether they’re famous or infamous, and how it’s almost become normal to turn any social media profile into a hate altar. The scariest part is how the line between memes and cult imagery has practically disappeared. Memes started out as just funny, ironic things, but now they’re something way bigger. They’re symbols. There’s actual research on how memes have moved beyond comedy, morphing into tools that shape beliefs and ideologies—just like how cults use imagery to brainwash and control their followers.

Influencers and politicians alike are no longer just figures we joke about—they’re symbols, figures we can either elevate or tear down. We don’t just laugh at them anymore; we turn them into these icons that can launch entire social movements, reshape ideologies, or fuel some ridiculous narrative. It’s not just about making fun of someone anymore. Sometimes, these memes border on something way darker—like worship or destruction—depending on which side of the fandom you fall on.

And it’s terrifying how this kind of obsession has been normalized. People dive into echo chambers where they only engage with content that confirms their biases, and anything remotely opposing is shot down with this obsessive, almost toxic rejection. Extreme views aren’t just tolerated—they’re amplified. It’s not just some online debate over a politician anymore; it’s about people relentlessly tearing apart someone’s reputation or blindly idolizing them to the point where they can’t do any wrong. Research on online behavior shows how this kind of content, all sensationalized and emotionally charged, is addictive—and it distorts how people see the world. Honestly, it’s like living in a digital, distorted version of reality, where everything is turned into outrage-bait just for clicks, likes, and shares. We live in a simulacrum.

What’s worse is the pathology of obsessions is now endemic to societies. It’s one thing to follow someone or engage with their content, but when it starts to consume every part of your online life—every post, every comment, every thought—something’s gone seriously wrong. They invest all this emotional energy into someone they’ve never met, creating a weird parasocial delusion. And in the digital age, it’s gotten out of hand. Some people stalk influencers, track every tiny detail of their personal lives, or even harass them online. It starts as harmless admiration, but when taken too far, it crosses a line into a full-blown obsession that hurts not just the influencer’s image but the mental health of the person obsessed too.

When you think about it, this obsession becomes like some twisted ritual where the target’s image is sacrificed. It’s not just harassment anymore—it’s dehumanization. People twist and distort a public figure’s image so much that it stops being who they are and becomes something else entirely—an idea, a symbol. It’s the same thing cults do to people: the image gets manipulated, and the followers consume it until the person themselves doesn’t exist anymore, just the idea of them. And online, it’s the same story. Figures get turned into icons that are either worshipped or torn apart, their real selves completely lost in the process. It’s like their image is being ritually sacrificed by the collective judgment of the masses—and there’s no space for nuance.

And it’s not just celebrities or politicians who are at risk. Anyone who gets thrust into the public eye through virality can become a target. All it takes is one Tik Tok. The obsessive need to either tear down or elevate a random figure based on personal biases is getting more and more cult-like. It’s become this bizarre, ritualistic form of image destruction where random people or public figures are “sacrificed” at the altar of online outrage. Their whole identity is reshaped to fit whatever narrative the internet wants to push—usually with little regard for fairness or truth. Algorithms play into this, rewarding the most extreme, polarizing content.

How the hell did we get here? How did we go from memes being these lighthearted jokes to this whole twisted, digital ritual where people’s identities get sacrificed for the sake of outrage, obsession, or devotion? Social media has created this bizarre world where the lines between fandom, obsession, and cult-like worship are totally blurred. We don’t just admire or criticize people anymore; we’re engaging with them in ways that are unhealthy, toxic, and Machiavellian. The person stops being a person. They become a symbol. And not just any symbol, but one to either tear down or idolize.

At this point, it’s not even about laughing at a meme, liking a post, or following someone on social media. It’s about ritually altering someone’s image until they’re either a god or a devil, depending on how the viewer sees them. And that’s the truly messed-up part. The online world has become a place where memes can turn into cult icons, and obsessive fixations are normal.

Most Online Chaos Magick Is Naming Mnemonic Variables

No matter how intricate your sigil is, it’s still just a semiotic identifier—a signifier. You could call it x, and it would carry the same ontological weight. Sigils point to concepts, entities, or they act as a signature. At the end of the day, you’ve just created a decorative label. Sigils are glyphs, not alphabets or languages like Theban, Celestial, Enochian, or the Alphabet of Daggers.

Sigils made using Austin Spare’s method aren’t languages—they’re stylized abstractions. You’re not writing a sentence in some hidden tongue; you’re making a visual variable. A graphic tag with no linguistic scaffolding. There’s nothing to “read” in it—no syntax, no grammar, no pronunciation. Just an intentional scribble pointing toward a thought.

Compare that to Theban, Celestial, Enochian, or the Alphabet of Daggers. Those are actual alphabets. Magical languages. They follow consistent letter-for-letter substitutions. They can obscure meaning—because there’s real meaning to obscure. You can encode texts, chants, names. They operate like ciphers, because that’s exactly what they are.

Spare-style sigils don’t encrypt—they erase. When you compress a phrase into a symbol, you’re not hiding language, you’re letting it go. You’re collapsing intention into a single mark that doesn’t depend on literacy, just mental association.

Magical languages at least do something. They obscure. They encode. Run a sentence through Theban or Celestial, and you get something arcane-looking and unreadable—because it is, unless you know the key. That’s the point: symbolic misdirection. Encryption with intent.

Sigils, especially the Spare-style ones, don’t do that. You’re not concealing a message; you’re flattening it into a shape. It’s not code—it’s a label. A name tag. You take a phrase, compress it into a glyph, and suddenly it’s a “magickal symbol.” But it’s really just a symbolic pointer—a variable, like in programming. And just like with variables, the more convoluted the name, the more annoying it is to use. If your sigil looks like a spiky eldritch mandala, congrats: you’ve made a beautiful, unreadable label.

Honestly, watching people crank these out like they’re reinventing the arcane wheel—when they’re just decorating the same psychological placeholder—it’s almost a relief. The more time someone spends designing a stylized faux ceremonial symbol symbol for “money now please,” the less likely they are to be doing anything dangerously effective. A lot of what gets called “chaos magick” online is really just overdesigned variable naming by people who think the aesthetic is the spell.

Sure, sigils, metaphors, and myths all operate symbolically—but they don’t hit the same. A sigil is a symbol boiled down to a label. A shortcut. It points to something. A mythology doesn’t just point—it breathes. It moves through story, layers, archetypes. That’s why mythic metaphors and ritual drama land harder: they’re not just signs, they’re immersive systems of meaning.

A myth doesn’t just say “this is like that.” It binds symbols into patterns. It creates tension, resonance, transformation. Allegory can carry cosmology. Sigils don’t do that. They’re more like programming variables—arbitrary labels you assign meaning to. Useful? Sure. But flat. A box with a name. Writing “dragon” on the lid doesn’t conjure the force of a real dragon narrative.

That’s why stories, dreams, and rituals move people—and sigils usually don’t, unless you’ve already decided they will. Metaphor speaks to the deep mind. It speaks with symbols, not just about them. Sigils? They’re like filing tabs. Metaphors are the stories inside the folders.

So yeah—they’re both symbols. But one is a placeholder. The other is a living structure.

Exactly—whether you sketch a swirling, ornate sigil or just scrawl an x, you’re still tagging the same conceptual box. The content doesn’t change just because the outside is fancier. That’s the point: the sigil isn’t the thing. It’s the pointer. It’s the tag that says, “this is where I stored that intention,” or “this represents that entity.” It doesn’t gain power because it looks more esoteric.

People get caught up in the design and forget the purpose. A sigil doesn’t summon anything by itself—it’s a reference. It’s not the payload. You’re not conjuring a spirit with the shape; you’re doing it with the meaning you’ve assigned. The symbol just helps you focus—like putting a label on a folder.

This is why making the sigil “look magickal” is mostly cosmetic. Dress up the label all you want—it still opens the same box. The real work isn’t in the glyph; it’s in what the glyph means and how your mind interacts with that meaning. So yes, swap the sigil for an x—the box still holds the demon. All you’ve changed is the font.

The thing about geometry is that it has postulates. Symbols and their relationships imply rules and formulas. So, when you combine magical symbols with geometry, it implies a relationship, rules, and postulates. It really frustrates me when people circumscribe magical ciphers and words within geometric figures where there are no underlying axioms, postulates, or theorems.

Combining magical symbols with geometry without any type of postulate that you can prove makes the entire thing pointless. What is the relationship between that magical symbol and that angle? That is a 45-degree angle. What relationship does that angle have with that magical symbol that denotes a magical entity? I can’t look at most magicians’ magical seals without cringing. They never provide formulas or explain why they used those formulas. The lack of structure undermines the potential significance or effectiveness of the magical practice if the magical system is predicated on structure.

It irks me even more when the seal has arbitrary or random planetary or zodiac symbols that have nothing to do with the geometry and angles of what those symbols denote. If you are going to use geometry in your magic, then it should have logical rules and principles and a connection to the geometry. The complex magical seals are pretty, but they mean absolutely nothing. I would rather have their fictional narrative, i.e., a mythology.

Mathematics is a symbolic language. While it is a precise language, it is a language nonetheless, so it tells a story. When you are working on an intuitive level where precision is not needed, everyday language like this will suffice, where a visual representation can be basic glyphs. Storytelling is a more intuitive and engaging approach to understanding mystical concepts compared to the opaque and cryptic symbolism of complex magical seals. The effort in appearing to be legitimate without being legitimate irks me when a basic story and illustration will suffice.

The thing that I associate with magic the most is not religion or even spirituality. It’s wonder, amazement, and excitement. To me, it is the joy of creation and expression. When speaking with occultists, there is no wonder in their work. Their work is dogmatic, ritualistic, and cultish. I prefer the creative and exploratory dimensions of magic over the rigid structures found in occultism.

So, am I an occultist? Not really. I am a magician. I will use occult lexicon, models, and paradigms when talking about magic online or speaking with occultists; however, for me, occultism does not inspire wonder, amazement, and excitement. I view magic as an art and technology that transcends and is more abstract than occultism. I am enraptured by the atavistic and uncivilized resonance, the sublime romantic undertones, and the transcendental essence of magic. I am fascinated by its ancient, primal, and untamed qualities. I find beauty in its mysterious and awe-inspiring nature. It’s passion and desire made manifest. As a hedonist, my magic blends desire with will; the objects of my enchantment must kindle my desires. Fantasy, entwined with desire, becomes the catalyst for my inspiration.

After a series of disturbing conversations with a particular individual, I am reminded of how too many occultists are obsessed. Obsessions are not passions. Obsessions are like addictions, without the physical dependence or the desensitization. An obsession is something we compulsively do to avoid feeling bad. It is a distraction from neuroticism and intrusive thoughts. Since it displaces those intrusive thoughts and brings relief, many people see it as a way to cope.

A way to think about it is there is a difference between having an orgasm and urinating. If you were to hold in your urine for a long time and then use the bathroom, you would experience relief. However, it is entirely different from an orgasm. It’s similar to that. They are not feeling pleasure; rather, they feel relief from distracting themselves from the intrusive thoughts.

This particular occultist I am thinking of conflated obsessions with passions and relief from intrusive thoughts as passion or joy. I do not think many occultists actually even like magic or occultism. I rarely see them express anything positive; instead, it seems as if they use the esoteric aspects of occultism to mark an in and an out group. They then antagonize or have contempt for those in the out group who are not aligned with their particular esoteric group, culture, or niche. Instead of enjoying magic, they use it as a coping mechanism to deal with neuroticism. I think they are obsessed with it because it allows them to cope with things like trauma, depression, etc. It’s a drug to them that doesn’t result in physical dependence. There is no genuine joy or pleasure. Obsessions are not passions.

I view social media as a tangible manifestation of our collective unconscious mind: the dark parts that house every dark impulse and bad decision. A project I did a while back involved using Gephi and Cytoscape data scraping techniques to import social networks. What I discovered is that social media was an analogue to models and paradigms of dark parts of our collective unconscious. Essentially, social media is an actual nightmare. It’s a physical analog to dark, demonic astral planes. It’s a gross manifestation of the abyss.

I utilized the most frequent concepts and memetic cultural viruses to construct models of archetypes/daemons that corresponded to psychoanalytical and horror archetypes, to act as a schema. I used a histogram of node degrees, which shows the frequency with which different degrees are present in the empirical network. I also used the tendency of nodes to cluster together to measure transitivity, i.e., if A and B are connected, and A and C are connected. The Average Clustering Coefficient is the likelihood that B and C will at some point become connected, too. This is a measure of how interconnected ideas are within a network. It indicates the likelihood of new connections forming between ideas that are already connected to common ones. This was to construct prototypical entities inspired by cosmic horror and symbolism.

While I am a sorcerer, I am an empiricist. I use empirical observations and occult, esoteric knowledge to ground mystical concepts into a tangible reality. Thus, I dislike working with purely contrived systems, so I make sure that some type of measurement underpins anything I do. Fictions and myths provide a holistic and mnemonic structure and gestalt patterns. The fictions and myths serve as comprehensive, memorable frameworks or patterns of understanding. These frameworks encompass narrative, symbolism, and cultural significance. However, for me, it is important that the fictions represent real things.

I had a dynamic simulation running on Occult Twitter for a while, so I was actually watching, in real-time, memetic cancer spread. That’s why I jumped ship long before the whole thing collapsed. A wave is a propagation of a change in value. Social networks are also matrices. Gephi, for example, allowed me to export the social networks as an adjacency matrix so through my simulation and analysis tools, I observed a propagation of change in values across people’s profiles, making it a literal wave of insanity. I began to unhook myself before it reached me. I’ve been on Mastodon since 2022. I was importing social media networks using software for visualizing and analyzing large-scale networks. I visualized social networks where I had labeled particular types of paths according to those daemonic archetypes I had developed a schema for. Social media is filled with our inner demons.

The most frightening thing is that we have reached the point in our civilization with AI where these entities are genuine simulacra. They are able to replace reality. ChatGPT, for example, creating papers that never existed or events that never happened, i.e., a hallucination, and everyone believing and behaving as if that counterfactual existed, such that they doubt the real events, is exactly how a simulacrum functions. My decades of dealing with demons have strengthened my mind, but who would have thought that we would live in a world where occult training would come in handy like this?

When I was a teenager going into my early 20s, I practiced ceremonial magic and chaos magic. One thing that was drilled into my head is how daemons from our unconscious mind, manifested as servitors, can rebound on us and seek to take control through obsessions. The obsession of people, especially occultists, with social media is a tragic case of this phenomenon, wherein it represents a massive incursion into everyday consciousness. I was already vigilant regarding the concept of memetic entities and egregores manifesting as obsessions. The fate of most historically prolific occultists was to fall prey to demons manifested as obsessions and addictions, though, their self-destruction would have been more violent if they had social media in the 1930s.

I used to romanticize the idea of egregores and binding daemons from our psyche. However, having such explicit representations of the depravity and insanity of such entities and how, through a subtle web of astral light, i.e., the Internet, they are able to push people towards self-destruction, changed my perspective on that. That’s why I’m looking for more natural sources to draw from.

I view social media as a tangible manifestation of our collective unconscious mind: the dark parts that house every dark impulse and bad decision. A project I did a while back involved using Gephi and Cytoscape data scraping techniques to import social networks. What I discovered is that social media was an analogue to models and paradigms of dark parts of our collective unconscious. Essentially, social media is an actual nightmare. It’s a physical analog to dark, demonic astral planes. It’s a gross manifestation of the abyss.

I utilized the most frequent concepts and memetic cultural viruses to construct models of archetypes/daemons that corresponded to psychoanalytical and horror archetypes, to act as a schema. I used a histogram of node degrees, which shows the frequency with which different degrees are present in the empirical network. I also used the tendency of nodes to cluster together to measure transitivity, i.e., if A and B are connected, and A and C are connected. The Average Clustering Coefficient is the likelihood that B and C will at some point become connected, too. This is a measure of how interconnected ideas are within a network. It indicates the likelihood of new connections forming between ideas that are already connected to common ones. This was to construct prototypical entities inspired by cosmic horror and symbolism.

While I am a sorcerer, I am an empiricist. I use empirical observations and occult, esoteric knowledge to ground mystical concepts into a tangible reality. Thus, I dislike working with purely contrived systems, so I make sure that some type of measurement underpins anything I do. Fictions and myths provide a holistic and mnemonic structure and gestalt patterns. The fictions and myths serve as comprehensive, memorable frameworks or patterns of understanding. These frameworks encompass narrative, symbolism, and cultural significance. However, for me, it is important that the fictions represent real things.

I had a dynamic simulation running on Occult Twitter for a while, so I was actually watching, in real-time, memetic cancer spread. That’s why I jumped ship long before the whole thing collapsed. A wave is a propagation of a change in value. Social networks are also matrices. Gephi, for example, allowed me to export the social networks as an adjacency matrix so through my simulation and analysis tools, I observed a propagation of change in values across people’s profiles, making it a literal wave of insanity. I began to unhook myself before it reached me. I’ve been on Mastodon since 2022. I was importing social media networks using software for visualizing and analyzing large-scale networks. I visualized social networks where I had labeled particular types of paths according to those daemonic archetypes I had developed a schema for. Social media is filled with our inner demons.

The most frightening thing is that we have reached the point in our civilization with AI where these entities are genuine simulacra. They are able to replace reality. ChatGPT, for example, creating papers that never existed or events that never happened, i.e., a hallucination, and everyone believing and behaving as if that counterfactual existed, such that they doubt the real events, is exactly how a simulacrum functions. My decades of dealing with demons have strengthened my mind, but who would have thought that we would live in a world where occult training would come in handy like this?

When I was a teenager going into my early 20s, I practiced ceremonial magic and chaos magic. One thing that was drilled into my head is how daemons from our unconscious mind, manifested as servitors, can rebound on us and seek to take control through obsessions. The obsession of people, especially occultists, with social media is a tragic case of this phenomenon, wherein it represents a massive incursion into everyday consciousness. I was already vigilant regarding the concept of memetic entities and egregores manifesting as obsessions. The fate of most historically prolific occultists was to fall prey to demons manifested as obsessions and addictions, though, their self-destruction would have been more violent if they had social media in the 1930s.

The Magic Square of Mercury is a type of kamea and magic square. The context of that conversation was about how mages are always complaining about Mercury in retrograde, though any magician worth their salt would understand that planetary magic squares can be used to block the astral energy.

I am more of a sorcerer than a diviner, so I use magical symbols, systems, and subjunctive conditional (prescriptive fictions) to alter reality instead of trying to predict it. Therefore, the predictive power of astrological systems is irrelevant to me personally because I use them to manipulate, not predict, possible futures.

Mathematically, a magic square is a grid of numbers arranged in such a way that the sum of the numbers in each row, column, and diagonal is the same.

While I am not otherkin, I am a cambion (half-demon). An incubus ‘altered’ my father’s sperm, so I have a human father, a human mother, and a demonic parent. You can think of it as an astral virus. My preternatural insight is knowledge of sorcery and thaumaturgy, which gives me mathematical aptitude. My mathematical abilities and my magical abilities are intrinsically linked and are manifestations of my demonic heritage.

I’m always highly amused when ceremonial magicians or energy workers claim to practice high magic or have some skill, but then when I whip out a very basic magic square of Mercury, they claim they do not do Math magic. It’s quite amusing to me because there’s a slight medieval difference in the connotation between Sorcery and Thaumaturgy, and many of them will call the basic magic sorcery they do, such as sigils, thaumaturgy.

Technology, art, and magic can inspire awe and wonder, so the artist is similar to the technologist, which is similar to the magician in that their disciplines are marvelous. Many occultists incorrectly use thaumaturgy to reference any art, technique, or technology that is marvelous or even extraordinary, so it is frequently conflated with sorcery, albeit there’s a large difference between black and white magic from an esoteric perspective.

Orthodoxly, the adept is not the sorcerer. While both inspire awe and wonder, Johnathan Dee explicitly mentioned Thaumaturgy as a mathematical art in The Mathematicall Praeface to Elements of Geometrie of Euclid of Megara. In that preface, John Dee primarily discusses foundational principles and concepts of geometry as presented by Euclid. Euclid’s “Elements” is a comprehensive compilation of the fundamental principles of geometry, including definitions, postulates, propositions, and proofs.

In addition to that, Enochian Magic is highly algorithmic and uses techniques that John Dee discussed in The Mathematicall Praeface to Elements of Geometrie of Euclid of Megara. The modern understanding of Thaumaturgy is predicated on Math, though. Math and technology elicit the same aesthetic sense of awe and wonder that miracles and magic do. For example, lightning is awesome. It inspires awe and wonder. We can call a lightning strike beautiful and thus grant it an aesthetic value that we seek to capture in art. Since this is willful and deliberate, the art is magic. So, we can call lightning magical; however, that isn’t sufficient to call it thaumaturgy.

High Magic is highly metaphysical and uses formal symbolic languages, such as Geometry and Math. If you are bad at Math or do not like Math, you are quite limited.

Alchemy and Thaumaturgy are branches of Natural Magic which do not necessarily depend on spirits. So I am always highly amused when so-called occultists on Twitter try to discredit me while acknowledging they actually know nothing about the magic I practice.

I hate fraternities. Always have. Always will. I was never tempted to join one in college, though my sister pledged to a sorority. This applies to occult fraternities too. Occult lodges are just occult frat bros. For some reason, though, not subjecting myself to the abuse of occult orders somehow makes me less knowledgeable. It’s so bizarre.

Anyone who knows me knows that I love The Vampire Diaries universe, and I really relate to the members of the Gemini coven, especially the siphoners, like Josie. While they are known for their vampire and witch hybrids, the Gemini coven is especially skilled at hoary and creating mechanical devices based on hoary astrology that serve as astrological machines. They called it an ascendant, and it’s normally presented as a key to a prison world in the show.

My husband and I are putting together something like those devices from 3D printing parts and gears to create an astrological engine. That is an example of Thaumaturgy. See this link for a copy of The Mathematicall Praeface to Elements of Geometrie of Euclid of Megara.

I just read an occult blog post written by some occult boomer that was inspired by an insufferable, schizophrenic Gen Xer that has me shaking my head. It’s the typical boomer “kids nowadays” rant against millennials. Keep in mind, us millennials are approaching 40. I’m in my late 30s. Considering who inspired this particular piece and what people in that circle have called me recently, it seems rather targeted. Honestly, the entire piece seemed to be older occultists lamenting that public occult conversations on the Internet are random and chaotic, where people can express themselves in a variety of disrespectful ways if they so choose, for whatever reason. You know, because people have this thing called free will. People do not owe you anything, especially on Twitter, of all places. This constant pining for the 90s is getting on my nerves.

I am being vague because I know this person who inspired that post does things for validation, and I am not giving it to them. I hate, hate, hate being told what to do. I don’t like rules. I never have. I never will. That’s why I am entirely disinterested in occult groups, occult communities, and even like 99% of occult media and books. At this point in my life, I get more inspiration from the genre of magical realism. If you expect me to conform to your expectations, you will be very disappointed. I don’t care to belong to occult groups. I don’t care to be in occult spaces. I don’t care for their rules or etiquette. I don’t owe anyone anything, and I certainly don’t need to justify myself or present myself for anyone’s approval. I will behave how I please, and anyone who is offended does not have to interact with me. Call me a dipshit. Call me by whatever name suits you; though, that doesn’t mean I will answer to it unless it pleases me.

I am way too old to be seeking validation from belonging to an esoteric group. Honestly, in my opinion, 20 years is more than enough time for a person to go their own way and create their own magic. I’m honestly too old to care. Maybe when I was younger, I would have cared more, but occultism has largely lost my respect and earned my disdain. I’m not going to try to fit into a group and culture I have nothing but contempt for. I write blog posts to avoid engaging in cyclical, redundant, banal, insipid arguments on social media. While I will sometimes troll, I do not seriously argue on the Internet. As I said, I am too old for that.

See, here’s the thing about magic: Magic is art. Art is magic. An object doesn’t have a quality of art; instead, art elicits that from the subjective experience of the person who interacts with the art. When you understand that art is magic, magic is art, and art and magic arise from your subjective experience and how you interact and appreciate aesthetic qualities of something, you realize you don’t need validation from other occultists since all you need is to have appreciation for your own work. You don’t need random occultists, well-published occult authors, occult groups, esoteric orders, etc., to validate you. I certainly don’t. If you want objective feedback, you can use the scientific method. If you don’t care, and it is all about the subjective experience, subjective experiences are reflexive. It’s you perceiving that experience, so it is validated by you having that experience. You do not need someone else to verify and validate your experience.

The thing that has always rubbed me the wrong way about occultists is that they will push their culture and create an illusion. They will try to make you believe that to progress you have to be recognized in some shape, way, or form by people who are part of that culture and you have to use their cultural beliefs, norms, artifacts, and even political ideaology. It creates this cult mindset that I have always found to be completely intolerable.

People obsessed with power dynamics and constantly having their power and influence affirmed through a cultural system don’t actually have that power. Any magician obsessed with clout is powerless. Will power goes hand in hand with discipline and the ability to abstain, so a magician who has to obsessively engage in social media discourse is demonstrating their lack of will power. And, if magic is predicated on will, and they don’t have enough will to refrain from compulsive social media usage on Twitter, do they really have magical power at all?

These occult social media influencers and occult authors should not be trusted. And, I don’t trust them. I don’t seriously interact with any occult culture at all, anymore, besides when I troll from time to time. Everything I do, for the most part, is either from scratch or involves replicating parapsychology experiments. I have no interest in reliving my teenage years; I’ve already gone through a lot of this nonsense as a teenager myself. It’s really disturbing that some of these people are in their 50s or 60s but still act like they’re 17.

The thing that I find very interesting about many occultists, especially chaos magicians, is that they do not realize we have sigils in our brains. A sigil is a symbol. Ontologically, a symbol is an abstract denotation of a set, a representation, and a representation that points to a value which could also be a representation. When I think about my bed, I do not have an actual bed in my brain. The thought about my bed is a representation of my bed. It’s a symbol.

When you form memories, your brain creates things called memory traces, which are physical representations and symbols of objects. These memory traces can be formed from changes in synaptic strength, such as long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) and distributed across neural circuits. After that, a partial cue or context can trigger the retrieval of a complete memory. In addition to that, memories can be reactivated and consolidated. Stored memories can be retrieved and reactivated, leading to their stabilization and potential modification through consolidation. This creates a physical trace.

As an aside, the parapsychologist who scientifically investigated mediumship, Stephen Braude, wrote a paper a while ago about the Hard Problem of Psychology and how this relates to memory traces. You can find that paper here:
Memory Without a Trace

Sigils are metaphysically useful because they allow us to identify, manipulate, and map purely conceptual entities that are not physical, and they act as mnemonic identifiers that allow us to locate things in our minds.

There is an aspect of this of particular interest: Since memory traces and sigils connote the same magical ideas and can be used in the same implementations, you can use other people’s memories in the same way that you use a sigil. I’m human and you’re human. So, we are instances of a prototypical ontological classification of humans. We are representative of humanity. As I said before, a symbol is a subset of a category. In a one-dimensional enumeration of characters or objects, these entities are symbolic because they are a set of things that we can count; therefore, they are extensions of that set. We are instances of the set of humanity; therefore, we’re not just people, we are also symbols and entities with a physical presence.

So, not only can you treat memory traces in people’s brains as sigils, you can treat their entire physical presence as a symbol of humanity itself. And since a person has a persistent existence through time, there are multiple versions of them that exist at different times. We don’t move through time; instead, information about us is translated moment to moment, so it is more like every moment we physically exist is a moment where we are copied. But, we still are us, right? We are an abstraction of ourselves – a pattern or a signal. That means you can treat a person as an archetype of themselves.

The interesting thing about many ceremonial magicians is that they tend to elevate humanity and assert that sorcery applies to non-physical things; however, it does not apply to humans because humans have a physical presence. That is not true. Our physical bodies are information, since they are fundamentally comprised of a canonical ensemble of states, from which information emerges. That implies we are intrinsically symbolic entities, and we are instances of a particular pattern that we call humanity. More importantly, we are a manifestation of a self-replicating pattern that we call life. Since any time-dependent thing can be deconstructed into a sum of sines and cosines, that means time-dependent things like life have harmonics. We call a propagation of information, such as something through time, a signal. So, our existence is symbolic on a rising and falling edge. Not only are we symbolic, we might not even be “real,” but I digress. The same rules that apply to any other being a magician is evoking can also be applied to humans.

Ousia is a Greek metaphysical term commonly translated as “essence,” “substance,” or “being.” In metaphysics, ousia refers to the fundamental nature or essence of something. In the context of belonging to a category, ousia can be understood as the underlying essence or substance that defines what something fundamentally is, rather than just its superficial properties. It connotes spirit. Thus, we can view instances of individual humans as extensions of the human soul or human spirit and use people as symbols to manipulate the soul or spirit. The potential energy would be dunamis, and the realized energy would be energia. Rupert Sheldrake’s theory of formative causation and morphic resonance supports the idea of an entelechy and ousia that emerges from a field of forms.

Can sigils be charged? The answer is usually no. Sigils are not the thing itself; instead, sigils are representations and pointers. For example, a conventional usage of a sigil is as signatures for entities, or they serve as mnemonic identifiers within our schema.

Can you create a sigil that can be charged? Yes, if you use a system that is composed of different possible states where when something is added or subtracted, it changes the system. An example of creating a charged sigil is via technomancy. If you were to use Johnson–Nyquist noise and you psychically and magically projected a pattern onto that noise which denotes the “sigil”, then you can say something has been charged. In addition to that, you can combine that with hash functions of encryption to generate something cryptographic.

If we treat memory traces as sigils, can you charge that? Yes, however, it would holistically impact that person. Charging the edges of neural circuits affect synaptic transmissions. In a neural circuit, the edges typically represent the connections between neurons, known as synapses. The ion channels have potential, and that potential determines if a neuron fires or does not fire; therefore, you can charge that memory trace and neural circuits since there’s potential and different states there that can come from charges.

Entropy can refer to any energy that is not doing intended work. So, the energy from a traumatic event (a haunting) or the residue from a magical act (a ritual) that is no longer going towards doing something but it just exists in the ambience is entropic. Human neurophysiology is extremely sensitive to the energies that magic uses, so entropic psychic or magical energy can charge the neurology of a person by being in that place. Humans are highly volatile “sigils”. Conventionally, if you turn a person’s image into a meme, you are effectively treating them as a memetic sigil.

However, a sigil written on the floor in chalk cannot be charged because there are no different states that are sensitive to the magical energy that can change. It can be aligned with a non-physical construct, but it cannot be charged because there’s no sufficient physical entropy. Magic and psychic energy interact strongly with randomness, so with something created via Johnson–Nyquist noise or even something that undergoes Brownian motion and precipitates out of a solution, there’s a potential for it to be in a different state. The charge would be held within the enthalpic properties of the precipitate. A sigil written in chalk is not going to spontaneously change its shape during a ritual. Instead, the sigil acts as an identifier and mapping to the magical or psychic entity, allowing one to interact with it intentionally.

Ontologically, a symbol is an abstract denotation of a set, a representation, and a representation that points to a value which could also be a representation. When I think about my bed, I do not have an actual bed in my brain. The thought about my bed is a representation of my bed. It’s a symbol.

When you form memories, your brain creates things called memory traces, which are physical representations and symbols of objects. These memory traces can be formed from changes in synaptic strength, such as long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) and distributed across neural circuits. After that, a partial cue or context can trigger the retrieval of a complete memory. In addition to that, memories can be reactivated and consolidated. Stored memories can be retrieved and reactivated, leading to their stabilization and potential modification through consolidation. This creates a physical trace.

As an aside, the parapsychologist who scientifically investigated mediumship, Stephen Braude, wrote a paper a while ago about the Hard Problem of Psychology and how this relates to memory traces. You can find that paper here:
Memory Without a Trace

Sigils are metaphysically useful because they allow us to identify, manipulate, and map purely conceptual entities that are not physical, and they act as mnemonic identifiers that allow us to locate things in our minds.

There is an aspect of this of particular interest: Since memory traces and sigils connote the same magical ideas and can be used in the same implementations, you can use other people’s memories in the same way that you use a sigil. I’m human and you’re human. So, we are instances of a prototypical ontological classification of humans. We are representative of humanity. As I said before, a symbol is a subset of a category. In a one-dimensional enumeration of characters or objects, these entities are symbolic because they are a set of things that we can count; therefore, they are extensions of that set. We are instances of the set of humanity; therefore, we’re not just people, we are also symbols and entities with a physical presence.

So, not only can you treat memory traces in people’s brains as sigils, you can treat their entire physical presence as a symbol of humanity itself. And since a person has a persistent existence through time, there are multiple versions of them that exist at different times. We don’t move through time; instead, information about us is translated moment to moment, so it is more like every moment we physically exist is a moment where we are copied. But, we still are us, right? We are an abstraction of ourselves – a pattern or a signal. That means you can treat a person as an archetype of themselves.

The interesting thing about many ceremonial magicians is that they tend to elevate humanity and assert that sorcery applies to non-physical things; however, it does not apply to humans because humans have a physical presence. That is not true. Our physical bodies are information, since they are fundamentally comprised of a canonical ensemble of states, from which information emerges. That implies we are intrinsically symbolic entities, and we are instances of a particular pattern that we call humanity. More importantly, we are a manifestation of a self-replicating pattern that we call life. Since any time-dependent thing can be deconstructed into a sum of sines and cosines, that means time-dependent things like life have harmonics. We call a propagation of information, such as something through time, a signal. So, our existence is symbolic on a rising and falling edge. Not only are we symbolic, we might not even be “real,” but I digress. The same rules that apply to any other being a magician is evoking can also be applied to humans.

Ousia is a Greek metaphysical term commonly translated as “essence,” “substance,” or “being.” In metaphysics, ousia refers to the fundamental nature or essence of something. In the context of belonging to a category, ousia can be understood as the underlying essence or substance that defines what something fundamentally is, rather than just its superficial properties. It connotes spirit. Thus, we can view instances of individual humans as extensions of the human soul or human spirit and use people as symbols to manipulate the soul or spirit. The potential energy would be dunamis, and the realized energy would be energia. Rupert Sheldrake’s theory of formative causation and morphic resonance supports the idea of an entelechy and ousia that emerges from a field of forms.

Can sigils be charged? The answer is usually no. Sigils are not the thing itself; instead, sigils are representations and pointers. For example, a conventional usage of a sigil is as signatures for entities, or they serve as mnemonic identifiers within our schema.

Can you create a sigil that can be charged? Yes, if you use a system that is composed of different possible states where when something is added or subtracted, it changes the system. An example of creating a charged sigil is via technomancy. If you were to use Johnson–Nyquist noise and you psychically and magically projected a pattern onto that noise which denotes the “sigil”, then you can say something has been charged. In addition to that, you can combine that with hash functions of encryption to generate something cryptographic.

If we treat memory traces as sigils, can you charge that? Yes, however, it would holistically impact that person. Charging the edges of neural circuits affect synaptic transmissions. In a neural circuit, the edges typically represent the connections between neurons, known as synapses. The ion channels have potential, and that potential determines if a neuron fires or does not fire; therefore, you can charge that memory trace and neural circuits since there’s potential and different states there that can come from charges.

Entropy can refer to any energy that is not doing intended work. So, the energy from a traumatic event (a haunting) or the residue from a magical act (a ritual) that is no longer going towards doing something but it just exists in the ambience is entropic. Human neurophysiology is extremely sensitive to the energies that magic uses, so entropic psychic or magical energy can charge the neurology of a person by being in that place. Humans are highly volatile “sigils”. Conventionally, if you turn a person’s image into a meme, you are effectively treating them as a memetic sigil.

However, a sigil written on the floor in chalk cannot be charged because there are no different states that are sensitive to the magical energy that can change. It can be aligned with a non-physical construct, but it cannot be charged because there’s no sufficient physical entropy. Magic and psychic energy interact strongly with randomness, so with something created via Johnson–Nyquist noise or even something that undergoes Brownian motion and precipitates out of a solution, there’s a potential for it to be in a different state. The charge would be held within the enthalpic properties of the precipitate. A sigil written in chalk is not going to spontaneously change its shape during a ritual. Instead, the sigil acts as an identifier and mapping to the magical or psychic entity, allowing one to interact with it intentionally.

Prioritizing avoidance of shame and attaining validation or an extrinsic reward—such as money—above all things is a very sad way to live. It seems like people have reduced everything they do to avoiding being shamed for doing something they want to do or participating in hateful, pathological, maladaptive cultures and behaviors. The social ritual of shitposting to get rewarded for doing absolutely nothing is horrifying. They know it is meaningless; however, it gets them validation in the form of some type of interaction and engagement. That people are so starved for esteem is sad. I am seeing this entirely take over occult spheres and social networks.

Scrolling through occult accounts on BlueSky, I saw someone mention King Paimon. Now, that would not be a problem if I had not seen him in 50 million horror movies, 50 billion horror games, and just about every ceremonial magician on social media has evoked them. Though I am satanic, I am tired of people using different instances of the same prototypical entities. Magical entities are abstractions for patterns of different aspects. Demons are a cultural and mnemonic way of modeling these patterns. But they don’t have to be demons at all. Or angels. Or anything that corresponds to an occult theme, trope, or motif even. I just find it funny. Magic is predicated on will and making something different. How can you summon the will to wield magic to alter reality, yet lack the will to innovate in your practice?

It’s really time to retire most of the occult genre. The Book of Black Magic was published originally in 1898 and widely distributed in 1910. When I take a look at the evocations and sigils people use for King Paimon, I notice it has elements from The Book of Black Magic. Can we please use something else?

PSA:

There are no competent magicians, psychics, or occultists on Twitter. They left Twitter. They went to different places, but they left Twitter. If you’re following an occult account with a large following on Twitter, you’re following a social influencer who is getting paid to make you feel like you belong to something sublime. Again, there are no real occultists on Twitter—just swindlers.

They’re using their ability to make you feel like you belong to something greater than yourself to subtly influence you politically. Weaponizing religion and spirituality and using it to control the masses is the oldest trick in the book. Stop falling for it.

Put the Kool-Aid down. While “drinking the Kool-Aid” is frequently used satirically in a manner that doesn’t address the seriousness of the Jamestown massacre, I am invoking the full spirit of what happened at Jamestown. People are drinking the sweetness of belonging to disguise the fact that they are being drawn into death cults – actual fertility and death cults.

A pair of hidden Jungian archetypes in the Marvel universe is the Eternals from Titan: Thanos and StarFox. Thanos represents Thanatos, whereas StarFox represents Eros. While Thanos embodies death and destruction, Starfox (Eros) represents love, desire, and pleasure.

In American culture at the moment and on social media, there is a more literal version of that, where people are getting pulled into bizarre Christian and Pagan fertility and death cults. They are not one or the other. These archetypes usually go hand in hand, where serpent symbology and mythology typically unifies these two. The serpent serves as a symbol that bridges the dichotomy between Thanatos and Eros, representing both the inevitability of death and the cycle of life, as well as the primal forces of desire, sexuality, and renewal.

I am sure people are reading this and probably believe that the fascist people in the death-fertility cults are Christians. Yes, many of them are; however, I am referring to the insidious nature of the fascist pagan ones. Your typical American Southern Baptist isn’t going to be seduced with esoteric, occult, and pagan texts. That’s why I said it is not one or the other. There are no serious occultists on Twitter—just cult leaders.

Don’t mind me, I’m just tossing all occult lexicon into the fire. Going forward, I will be practicing magic without occultism or any occult lexicon. Considering there are better metaphysical terms than many occult terms, occult lexemes are only useful out of convention and from a cultural perspective to share experiences and coordinate with others. However, since occultists are so batshit insane, I want nothing to do with them. Into the fire goes their lexicon.

The thing many people are unaware of is that first-order logic is more elegant and metaphysically precise than superfluous occult lexemes. The same goes for pure mathematics. Additionally, both logic and math are symbolic languages, much like many elements of occultism. Going forward, I am going to rely on different schemas and use first-order logic to formalize metaphysical magical arguments and analyze the logical structure of sets of magical expressions.

It’s cults, cults, and more cults, and the memetic code of occult lexicons has virulently evolved to reinforce cult ideologies and group cohesion. Nope. This is where I get the fuck off this train.

The mnemonic attributes of prototypical constructs within whatever schemas I construct will have a very tenuous connection, if any connection at all, to occult motifs and themes. The convergence of the definitions of magic and art suggests that magic can be seen as an extension of art. Consequently, there exists an infinite variety of artistic expressions that sufficiently embody magical qualities. I’m not playing around with these harmful cultural artifacts anymore, especially when they are frequently associated with extremely hateful beliefs, drug addiction, cults, and mental illness. Obviously, those images are closely intertwined with the worst aspects of human experience.

My husband keeps having visions of me starting a book series while sitting in a sun room, so he subtly nudges me in that direction. Perhaps this is where it starts.

Cleanse it all with fire!

Occult social media discourse is a memetic minefield. Every prompt and body of discourse is an opportunity to be influenced covertly. Way too many people can’t avoid taking the bait on the fishing line.

I just took a look at BlueSky occult profiles and feeds. Sighs. Regrettably, services and sites that use the ActivityPub protocol are the least fucked up and hateful. That is a very low bar considering there are fucked up people on here, too; however, they, at least, attempt to maintain some level of coherent discourse instead of degenerating into hateful, incoherent cries for murder. How fitting that the insane occultists, who are Twitter expats, remain on BlueSky. I have a sneaking suspicion they are on BlueSky and not ActivityPub sites because people who maintain their own instances enforce heavy moderation.

Honestly, the ability to moderate your own site is why I am on here via my WordPress site. It’s wonderful. Again, this is a very low bar considering that independently run IRC servers, XAMPP servers, sites, RSS feeds, and forums were the norm back in the day, and people weren’t nearly as neurotic or antagonistic.

The dedicated occult instances on Mastodon — I don’t mean the profiles on mastodon.social — isolate themselves and tend to have a genuine sense of community. The occult profiles and feeds on BlueSky seem to just be another branch of Twitter where they deliberately seek out and call for the murder of people. I wish I was kidding. You’d think I was talking about Nazis. Nope, those folks lean heavily towards the left. Mastodon leans towards the left; however, outright crying out for murder is something you probably won’t run into.

Here’s the insane thing: I have Antisocial Personality Disorder; however, I understand that I live and am dependent on human civilization. Therefore, if human civilization does well, I do well, so it is in my interest to be prosocial. It’s logical. It’s pure lunacy that the Blue Sky occult anarchists are more lunatic than me. They’re behaving against their own interests. That seems to be the theme of America.

Evolution is a funny thing. Because it takes more to hunt and catch prey than to avoid predation, predators frequently evolve to be intelligent. However, humans are predators that evolved prosocial tendencies because it contributes to our fitness. So, humans are an interesting duality of cruelty and empathy. We’re all predators because we’re sapient. It’s a delicate dance on the edge of a blade wet and slippery with blood. I’m cynical. The point is even I recognize the benefit of human society and compromising within society to benefit. They don’t.

It’s fascinating yet horrifying to see the occult niche on social media platforms—especially Discord—spiral into insanity, suicide, homicide, violence, and drug addiction. The interesting thing is that many of them are aware of how toxic they are. Honestly, an authoritarian style of moderating many of these communities, where facts were disregarded, drug use encouraged, and mental illness enabled, set fire to many of those communities. Now, many of those people feel displaced, disjointed, and dissatisfied with the places for them to go, yet they are the ones that lit the fire. I don’t conform if there is not a logical reason to do so, and being a nonconformist saved me from spiraling into destruction.

I don’t bother to argue and correct people about wrong occult or paranormal information because 9 times out of 10, they are not the type of people I want practicing magic. Out of boredom, I took a look at r/occult on Reddit. Not only is 99% of it wrong, but the people there are so messed up I dare not correct them. Going through their other posts and the subs they are subscribed to on Reddit is disturbing.

There was one person in particular who inspired this post. I’ve had encounters with this person in the past and know enough about them to know that they are likely schizophrenic and have an obsession with occultism and occultists. All the quotes in this post are from the same dumb Redditor. They said:

Really, the sigil generally means what the person tattoing it onto themself means it too. In this case it might just indicate their bond.

There really isn’t anything special about foreign/modern symbols. It’s prefectly fine to use english and drawings of dicks if you really want too. At thene of the day, when you practice magic, what’s important is how the symbol has meaning to you, the person who’s involved with the spell

On the subject of not being able to back it, it’s on the internet, if they stop giving a shit, they can ultimately just stop looking at the thread and forget that people here even exist.

That last part of the last quote highlights the problem with Internet cultures, however. Normalization of the lack of concern for the accuracy of information and the tacit belief that you are entitled to people because they are on the Internet (which is parasocial) is a large reason why I avoid many online communities. I actually know this person… The belief that you should not have to provide evidence for something if it is on the Internet is a horrific stance to me. For example, while typing this post, I actually made an effort to double-check everything I have said. The idea that no one gives a shit means that no one, including them, gives a shit about the truth. The tacit belief in conspiracies—secretive esoteric communities—coupled with the normalization of misinformation is what’s wrong with occult communities, especially the ones on Reddit.

Sigils are mnemonically identifiers and formal names. A seal is a name or signature. We can examine how asinine this is if we have a person with a tattoo that says William:

Person 1: “Why did you tattoo William on your arm?”
Person 2: “What do you mean? I absolutely adore Sarah, so I got Sarah tattooed on my arm.”
Person 1: “No, what is written in English is William.”

Pragmatically, sigils are mnemonic; however, in formal ontology or language, they have a defined meaning where a seal is an expression of that definition.

Unlike the runes of the Elder Futhark, which are graphemes, Goetic seals are not graphemes. Goetic seals are logograms that represent entire concepts. Since they are logograms, Austin Spare’s substitution/sigilization technique is a good way to generate logograms that possess the aesthetic and symbolic qualities reminiscent of ceremonial sigils or esoteric, occultic ciphers that have the meaning you intend for them to have. Honestly, personally, I am over the ceremonial magic aesthetic, so Austin Spare’s method is not useful for me.

William is not spelled Sarah; therefore, tattooing William does not denote your bond to Sarah, nor does it imply you have a bond to Sarah. Many creepy incels go out and get women’s names and faces tattooed on their arms. It doesn’t make the bond real.

I have a personal gripe with people being super secreative with magick, on the basis I think as a society we’d learn more by working with and sharing things with eachother.

Yeah, because it goes against their interests. The question is whose society does it inform? Magic is deliberately causing something to change, so you’re tacitly creating or at least committing to the future you want. Therefore, magic is prescriptive and sufficiently normative. That means magic is predicated on interests. A way to think about it is that a magician is prescribing to reality how reality ought to behave in accordance with their will and interests. For more information on normativity, see:

Normativity in Metaethics

Predicating magic on will makes it intrinsically something that follows interests—an agenda. Typically, you can group magicians as stoics, hedonists, or solipsists. But, there’s an underlying interest there that is implicit in the philosophy.

An organization or group is an entity. If it is not in an entity’s interest to give you. In magical paradigms, entity usually implies some discarnate intelligence. In everyday language, an entity normally refers to an established organization. Magic is predicated on interests, and if it is not in an entity’s interest to give you access, they won’t. And, since magic is tacit, you need a psychic way of transmitting it or a shared experience among a cohort. Initiations create a shared, lonely space among a cohort. They are symbolic ways of apprehending an experience where the knowledge of “how” comes from how it seems to think about that shared experience.

The type of magic I practice is completely tacit and can’t be communicated through conventional cultural frameworks like language or pedagogies. It has to be telepathically transmitted. Any psychic who tries to communicate their psychic experiences through language will tacitly understand why. The point is that it’s esoteric.

I find it funny. The Internet is intrinsically language-based down to the low-level machine language of the devices. Psychic and magical knowledge is tacit and ineffable, so access via the Internet to the semantics of magical cultures and text doesn’t grant understanding. Ironically, it just obfuscates.

They were giving incorrect information about Lilith relating to demonolatry here:

I personally see Lilith as a sort of dark motherly archetype based on my own personal work, and could be intepreted that you are essentially under her protection

Lilith is not a motherly figure. Lilith is associated with infanticide and sex without having human children, and cambions or changelings.

Actually, a few days ago, my husband and I were having a conversation about my mother and my trauma, and that started an entire conversation where I told my husband about how my mother emphasized that not all women love their children and that I should be grateful she did not drown me in the bathtub like some women did to their children. My mother was referencing Andrea Yates at the time… Yes, my mother believes not killing your children is something to be proud of.

That prompted me to look up and tell my husband the statistics of the amount of SIDS cases that were cases of infanticide where the mother murdered their child. In the 1970s, Waneta Hoyt derailed SIDS research because she was actually suffocating her children. Why do I know all of these cases offhand? Because my mother had a fascination with serial killers and mothers who murdered their children. My husband said that people like my mother who are walking around give him the creeps because she seems so nice. Yes, my parents are twisted. How do you think I came out this way? That’s the type of motherhood Lilith represents. It is just very interesting how people like this person spin up these mythologies to cope with being rejected.

This particular person is a trans woman who used to be Wiccan and is feeling drawn back to Wicca, Thelema, and also feels sympathy with Babalon, so this interpretation would make sense for them. Ironically, I think Christian influences — that I know this person hates — have caused them to overlap Lilith with qualities of Eve, too. On a more pejorative note, what’s the difference between mommy issues and daddy issues? It screams of seeking a maternal figure through parasocial relationships with fictional characters.

No, Lilith wouldn’t be the mother of Adam’s children. She would strangle them in their crib. There’s a common syncretism with Lilith and Hecate that’s popular among Neopagans. Both are associated with aspects of femininity, darkness, magic, and independence, making them complementary in certain Neopagan and eclectic spiritual practices. In fiction, Lilith is associated with vampires and cambions, which is a tacit nod to her symbolism regarding unnatural and preternatural reproduction in that vampires are sired, made, and not born. So, it is very interesting to see this peculiar version of Lilith, embodying a maternal role, when Lilith is an antipole notions of Abrhaminc notions femininity. It’s like they’re conflating the qualities of Eve with Lilith.

Lilith is associated with the Qliphoth Gamaliel. Gamaliel is often linked with the darker aspects of femininity, such as seduction, independence, and rebellion against traditional roles. Thus Lilith represents opposition to motherhood and a rejection of the conventional expectations placed on women to fulfill maternal roles and adhere to societal norms of femininity. The maternal aspects this person is attributing to Lilith are actually associated with the Sephirot Binah, exemplified by Eve. So, we can see the absurdity in this.

Am I a cambion? Yes. Am I the scion of Lilith? No. Am I a Satanist? Yes. However, considering that every person wants to be a Satanic psychopath and doesn’t want to put in the work, there is a lot of misinformation, such as this. The devil is the person whom you know, and the women in the Sunday hats in church on Sunday.

I get a weird type of pleasure seeing incompetent people chase their asses, so I don’t correct them. Giving magic to schizophrenic people is worse than giving them a gun. Don’t mistake me. It is not about moral clarity on my part. It is about power.

Is my post on Reddit? Nope, because I am a real magician. There’s nothing on Reddit but incels and the insane and drug addicts. No powerful magician would consistently post anything there.

I don’t bother to argue and correct people about wrong occult or paranormal information because 9 times out of 10, they are not the type of people I want practicing magic. Out of boredom, I took a look at r/occult on Reddit. Not only is 99% of it wrong, but the people there are so messed up I dare not correct them. Going through their other posts and the subs they are subscribed to on Reddit is disturbing.

There was one person in particular who inspired this post. I’ve had encounters with this person in the past and know enough about them to know that they are likely schizophrenic and have an obsession with occultism and occultists. All the quotes in this post are from the same dumb Redditor. They said:

Really, the sigil generally means what the person tattoing it onto themself means it too. In this case it might just indicate their bond.

There really isn’t anything special about foreign/modern symbols. It’s prefectly fine to use english and drawings of dicks if you really want too. At thene of the day, when you practice magic, what’s important is how the symbol has meaning to you, the person who’s involved with the spell

On the subject of not being able to back it, it’s on the internet, if they stop giving a shit, they can ultimately just stop looking at the thread and forget that people here even exist.

That last part of the last quote highlights the problem with Internet cultures, however. Normalization of the lack of concern for the accuracy of information and the tacit belief that you are entitled to people because they are on the Internet (which is parasocial) is a large reason why I avoid many online communities. I actually know this person… The belief that you should not have to provide evidence for something if it is on the Internet is a horrific stance to me. For example, while typing this post, I actually made an effort to double-check everything I have said. The idea that no one gives a shit means that no one, including them, gives a shit about the truth. The tacit belief in conspiracies—secretive esoteric communities—coupled with the normalization of misinformation is what’s wrong with occult communities, especially the ones on Reddit.

Sigils are mnemonically identifiers and formal names. A seal is a name or signature. We can examine how asinine this is if we have a person with a tattoo that says William:

Person 1: “Why did you tattoo William on your arm?”
Person 2: “What do you mean? I absolutely adore Sarah, so I got Sarah tattooed on my arm.”
Person 1: “No, what is written in English is William.”

Pragmatically, sigils are mnemonic; however, in formal ontology or language, they have a defined meaning where a seal is an expression of that definition.

Unlike the runes of the Elder Futhark, which are graphemes, Goetic seals are not graphemes. Goetic seals are logograms that represent entire concepts. Since they are logograms, Austin Spare’s substitution/sigilization technique is a good way to generate logograms that possess the aesthetic and symbolic qualities reminiscent of ceremonial sigils or esoteric, occultic ciphers that have the meaning you intend for them to have. Honestly, personally, I am over the ceremonial magic aesthetic, so Austin Spare’s method is not useful for me.

William is not spelled Sarah; therefore, tattooing William does not denote your bond to Sarah, nor does it imply you have a bond to Sarah. Many creepy incels go out and get women’s names and faces tattooed on their arms. It doesn’t make the bond real.

I have a personal gripe with people being super secreative with magick, on the basis I think as a society we’d learn more by working with and sharing things with eachother.

Yeah, because it goes against their interests. The question is whose society does it inform? Magic is deliberately causing something to change, so you’re tacitly creating or at least committing to the future you want. Therefore, magic is prescriptive and sufficiently normative. That means magic is predicated on interests. A way to think about it is that a magician is prescribing to reality how reality ought to behave in accordance with their will and interests. For more information on normativity, see:

Normativity in Metaethics

Predicating magic on will makes it intrinsically something that follows interests—an agenda. Typically, you can group magicians as stoics, hedonists, or solipsists. But, there’s an underlying interest there that is implicit in the philosophy.

I’m a fan of Gothic literature and Penny Dreadfuls. I sometimes see myself as Frankenstein’s monster, and I think Frankenstein is very relevant to ethical conversations about AI. The specifics of that are too personal for me to go into at the moment; however, I would say there is something especially abhorrent about creating life just for it to suffer or creating life, calling it monstrous, and disregarding it. The original Frankenstein story started with an epigraph from John Milton’s “Paradise Lost,” which is especially relevant today. My mother is a narcissist and admitted that I was allowed to be born to satisfy her narcissism. So, there is something that disturbs me about something being created in the image and glorification of its creator. While I have a reputation for being a narcissist, I have nothing on my mother.

Although I am known as a vampire, vampiric archetypes and tropes tie more into existential themes and nihilistic views. If people want insight into who I am as a person, why I behave the way that I do, and my philosophies, I recommend:

The Picture of Dorian Gray: An Annotated, Uncensored Edition
The Black Cat

The older I get, the more blunted my antisocial and hedonistic edge becomes. Humanity is a social species where we evolved to be cooperative, so selfish hedonism leads to perdition and self-destruction. The more I come face to face with what true evil looks like, the less I idealize it, I suppose.

My unconscious mind would manifest as a poltergeist. My conscious mind represents itself as a draconic or vampiric presence; however, my subconscious mind manifests as a black cat. So, when I am manifesting psychokinesis subconsciously, it materializes as a poltergeist in the form of a black cat. This is one of the reasons why I am skeptical of the objective and literal existence of supernatural entities. In my personal experience, hauntings seem to be patterns and manifestations of psychic energy that emanate from minds.

When I have used robotics and machines to perform magical actions, there was no effect; however, when there was an effect, there was something that had some level of consciousness, whether that be a human or another animal, present. I’m not inclined to believe that these entities are real in the objective sense.

Yes, yes, my previous post was about this blog being defunct; however, I don’t want to post or talk about this stuff from my main blog, so here we go.

I have issues with tarot cards. To be completely honest, my issues are exacerbated by people doubting my authenticity because I am not obsessed with occult symbols or talk endlessly about things like tarot cards, astrology, or grimoires. I wish I were kidding, but I’ve had little cabals, guilds, and cliques of people following me around the Internet for over 16 years at this point trying to prove I’m not legitimate. From what I can tell, it is because I refuse to join any occult cults or use systems that came from cult leaders. They find the idea of magic without an occult or religious system absolutely threatening or harmful to their self-esteem. I think it’s a weird manifestation of the sunk cost fallacy in that many of them have spent a lot of money, at the very least, if not large portions of their lives on these things. But, I digress.

One, tarot cards are overly complex and superfluous for no reason. Two, people who use them aren’t actually interested in whether the predictions are true. You can implement something like tarot cards without tarot cards. Personally, I like playing cards over tarot cards, and I’ve known some people to use Magic The Gathering Cards. In any case, we can treat denotations of magical paradigms as ontologies and ontological statements or expressions. As such, we can regard them as languages. A way to think about it is that I can store demons, angels, tarot cards, correspondences, etc. into a database, such as the MySQL database of this site. What does that imply? That implies that we can model magical entities as a mathematical set of tuples, i.e., an alphabet. The ability to store entities from a grimoire in a database.

Keep in mind that this site is powered by PHP and MySQL. If a person were to create a table in their database schema for demons, your ability to see that on the site would be an empirical case for the ability to do encode that information as tuples. The point is that we can treat the properties of these entities and the entity itself as an alphabet and words, respectively. That means that magical entities and correspondences are components of a tuple joined by operators to create relationships and rules. We can call that a language. As such, expressions and statements – such as the magical entity itself, can be expressed via a base 2 system, i.e., binary. An empirical case for this is the ability to store magical entities in a database, on a high level, which is digitally encoded as bytes sent across the Internet which you read through a CMS powered by SQL.

An example of a base 2 system is an ensemble of coins where each coin has two possible states. Conventionally, we can think of them as yes or no. Anything that you can store digitally is binary. Even an image. So, you are not necessarily restricted to yes or no questions, for you can abstract those. You can abstract different lengths and frequencies of yes and no into any pattern that you want. The point is that any person can create any prototypical pattern that they want, that’s a high-level abstraction of binary states. There’s no particular reason to use tarot cards or an occult divination system at all.

Here’s the other thing we know about how psychic and magical phenomena work: It’s based on subjective meaning. There’s a stronger connection if something has meaning to you, and it is subjective. There’s a larger dissonance between the prototypical patterns of a magical system and gestalt patterns and prototypical patterns of your behavior that emerge from your subjective experience. There’s a technique called a soul mirror in Hermetic schools of thought. Looking at your experience through a Hermetic magical system and language reflects back to you a version of yourself through the eyes of a Hermetic system; however, ChatGPT can actually be used as a type of mirror, too. One thing that I have been experimenting with is having ChatGPT analyze my journal entries and identify prototypical patterns that can be used in lieu of typical archetypes that show up in occultism. Again, you can treat the attributes of these patterns as tuples and reduce it down to a binary system that can be paired with coin divination practices.

It’s not just an aesthetic issue, it is an epistemological issue. When you are trying to scientifically prove something, you don’t actually prove it. What was drilled into my head is that science does not prove anything, because science is inductive and not deductive; therefore, nothing can be 100% in science. Instead, science supports hypotheses and theories. In addition to that, you aim to debunk your own hypothesis. This means, if the hypothesis is that the cards have a message in them, we should be able to disprove this. Since this is purely a statistical problem, this makes it falsifiable where a lay person can easily do Null Hypothesis Significance testing.

Randomness isn’t chaos. Randomness is when there is an equal probability of something happening. If there is a pool of events and all the events have the same probability of happening, that is an example of randomness. Information is an inverse property to randomness, where there is some type of sequence and correlation among pairs, i.e., a joint probability. Information is an ordered sequence of the joint probability of two things joined by an operator that denotes a correlation. So, that means if we are testing for the presence of information and a message in a spread of cards, we are looking for correlations, patterns, and redundancy above chance.

Say that a tarot card reader is able to reject the null hypothesis and show that there is a message in the cards. Does this mean that it was the tarot cards after all? No. What is actually happening? When someone with precognition senses the future, what is happening is that the information is being written to their brain and body. Biological systems are very noisy, and they are stochastic and chaotic. There is a lot of randomness. Similar to how random events are altered outside a person’s body through magic, precognition orders random events inside a person’s body.

The synaptic transmission of neurons—whether a neuron fires or not—is inherently stochastic. For example, the exact timing and number of vesicles released in response to each action potential can vary due to stochastic factors. These factors may include random fluctuations in the concentration of calcium ions or variations in the availability of vesicles for release. In addition, the probability of a neurotransmitter molecule binding to a receptor depends on factors such as the concentration of neurotransmitter in the synaptic cleft, the affinity of the neurotransmitter for its receptor, and the presence of other molecules that may compete for receptor binding. By manipulating stochastic, noisy, and probabilistic factors such as these, precognitive information is written to the person’s brain through the activation of neural pathways.

Because of this, probability manipulation can be used to influence a person’s thoughts. By manipulating the probability of them making a particular decision, you can influence processes such as synaptic transmission and the firing of neural pathways. For obvious ethical reasons, I do not use this technique often and I do not teach it. In this political climate, who knows what people would do. I can compel people with that technique, but it requires one enter into a head space where you are okay with total domination of another person, and that persona is hard to shake off.

This means that when we can reject the null hypothesis in a tarot card reading regarding whether the cards convey a message or not, the power isn’t coming from the tarot cards or any magical system. Rather, a person is using precognition to sense the future. They are correlating that with entropic systems to encode information in an external source. Similar to how noise gets ordered in their brain, the entropic system becomes ordered to encode information. That implies there isn’t anything special about tarot cards. Instead, it is a combination of psychokinesis and precognition. Of course that implies a level of psychokinesis and precognition is necessary, though, a particular system is not.

For example, my husband is a diviner. He has precognitive abilities, empathic abilities, and small forms of psychokinesis, which manifest through his use of cards as a tool. The cards that frequently come up when we’ve been able to reject the null hypothesis for me are:

• King of Hearts
• Queen of Spades
• King of Diamonds
• Queen of Clubs
• King of Clubs

These cards frequently come up when my husband does a reading in a controlled experiment. We have an automatic card shuffler to eliminate any bias introduced from how we may shuffle the cards. My husband calls them the Five Monarchs, and he says that they represent five different personas that I have. He is correlating his empathic abilities with an ensemble that has entropy to encode information about my subconscious mind. These cards come up frequently beyond chance. Many occultists who have run into me are probably familiar with who is my Queen of Spades aspect that exemplifies the Evil Queen archetype.

While we are on the topic, formats like JPG and Computer Vision (CV) use Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) to convert blocks of pixel data from the spatial domain (the original image) into the frequency domain (represented by coefficients). It does this by decomposing the image into a sum of cosine functions of different frequencies. The DCT represents the image data as a set of coefficients corresponding to different frequencies. Lower frequencies represent smooth variations in color and intensity, while higher frequencies represent rapid changes, such as edges or fine details. This means that any occult image that can be encoded as a JPEG is composed of sines and cosines, indicating that the image possesses harmonics. This means that any sigil or magical seal encoded in a JPG format is an image composed of sines and cosines that can be minimally represented with n modulo 2. If you encode the magical texts or magical seals into a digital image, it has a harmonic and binary representation.

I’ve been experimenting with the interplay of harmonics, entropy, and image formats to manipulate Johnson–Nyquist noise or randomness from beam splitters and laser pointers, with the aim of conjuring digital images and sigils directly through magic. My endeavors have involved extensive research and experimentation. However, regrettably, given the increasing radicalization within occult and paranormal communities, it’s too dangerous, irresponsible, and unethical to allow this knowledge to fall into their hands.

Entropy is not necessarily randomness, either, although they are often used interchangeably. Randomness and entropy become interchangeable when entropy is maximized. Entropy is a measurement of an ensemble and the permutations of that ensemble. A system that can be configured differently is thus an entropic system; however, that doesn’t necessarily imply randomness. Randomness implies one configuration being just as likely as another one. Having different permutations doesn’t imply all permutations are equally likely. Factorials can be used to calculate the number of possible arrangements or configurations of a system, which is closely related to its entropy. A maximally entropic system would be random; however, a random system is not necessary for there to a psychic influence, for there just needs to be enough degrees of freedom and entropy.

I think tarot cards denote a particular culture. It’s a signifier of cultural membership. It signals to everyone that you are into occultism and tarot card readers act as guides, so it denotes a particular level of spiritual authority. Tarot card readers would thus be equivalent to an evangelical that does intercessory prayer. Seeing a tarot card reader would be like a Christian seeking a pastor.

We don’t call Music Physics. We call Music Music, and we classify it as an art. To me, magic is the part of the underlying metaphysical aspects. The problem that I have is occultists’ belief that they have a dominance on magic such that people are starting to believe you cannot practice magic without occultism. Honestly, occultism is going down really, really dark paths, and I don’t believe you can spiritually progress while practicing occultism, so, for me, it is imperative to unlink magic and occultism.

A tarot card reader that claims they rely on intuition is a fake. If there were a message encoded in the cards, we could measure the frequencies of particular cards to see if they were random without the interpretation of the tarot card reader, regardless of whether we knew what the message meant. The patterns would be there.

It’s an aesthetic and a token of cultural membership.

To be completely honest, my issues are exacerbated by people doubting my authenticity because I am not obsessed with occult symbols or talk endlessly about things like tarot cards, astrology, or grimoires. I wish I were kidding, but I’ve had little cabals, guilds, and cliques of people following me around the Internet for over 16 years at this point trying to prove I’m not legitimate. From what I can tell, it is because I refuse to join any occult cults or use systems that came from cult leaders. They find the idea of magic without an occult or religious system absolutely threatening or harmful to their self-esteem. I think it’s a weird manifestation of the sunk cost fallacy in that many of them have spent a lot of money, at the very least, if not large portions of their lives on these things. But, I digress.

One, tarot cards are overly complex and superfluous for no reason. Two, people who use them aren’t actually interested in whether the predictions are true. You can implement something like tarot cards without tarot cards. Personally, I like playing cards over tarot cards, and I’ve known some people to use Magic The Gathering Cards. In any case, we can treat denotations of magical paradigms as ontologies and ontological statements or expressions. As such, we can regard them as languages. A way to think about it is that I can store demons, angels, tarot cards, correspondences, etc. into a database, such as the MySQL database of this site. What does that imply? That implies that we can model magical entities as a mathematical set of tuples, i.e., an alphabet. The ability to store entities from a grimoire in a database.

Keep in mind that this site is powered by PHP and MySQL. If a person were to create a table in their database schema for demons, your ability to see that on the site would be an empirical case for the ability to do encode that information as tuples. The point is that we can treat the properties of these entities and the entity itself as an alphabet and words, respectively. That means that magical entities and correspondences are components of a tuple joined by operators to create relationships and rules. We can call that a language. As such, expressions and statements – such as the magical entity itself, can be expressed via a base 2 system, i.e., binary. An empirical case for this is the ability to store magical entities in a database, on a high level, which is digitally encoded as bytes sent across the Internet which you read through a CMS powered by SQL.

An example of a base 2 system is an ensemble of coins where each coin has two possible states. Conventionally, we can think of them as yes or no. Anything that you can store digitally is binary. Even an image. So, you are not necessarily restricted to yes or no questions, for you can abstract those. You can abstract different lengths and frequencies of yes and no into any pattern that you want. The point is that any person can create any prototypical pattern that they want, that’s a high-level abstraction of binary states. There’s no particular reason to use tarot cards or an occult divination system at all.

Here’s the other thing we know about how psychic and magical phenomena work: It’s based on subjective meaning. There’s a stronger connection if something has meaning to you, and it is subjective. There’s a larger dissonance between the prototypical patterns of a magical system and gestalt patterns and prototypical patterns of your behavior that emerge from your subjective experience. There’s a technique called a soul mirror in Hermetic schools of thought. Looking at your experience through a Hermetic magical system and language reflects back to you a version of yourself through the eyes of a Hermetic system; however, ChatGPT can actually be used as a type of mirror, too. One thing that I have been experimenting with is having ChatGPT analyze my journal entries and identify prototypical patterns that can be used in lieu of typical archetypes that show up in occultism. Again, you can treat the attributes of these patterns as tuples and reduce it down to a binary system that can be paired with coin divination practices.

It’s not just an aesthetic issue, it is an epistemological issue. When you are trying to scientifically prove something, you don’t actually prove it. What was drilled into my head is that science does not prove anything, because science is inductive and not deductive; therefore, nothing can be 100% in science. Instead, science supports hypotheses and theories. In addition to that, you aim to debunk your own hypothesis. This means, if the hypothesis is that the cards have a message in them, we should be able to disprove this. Since this is purely a statistical problem, this makes it falsifiable where a lay person can easily do Null Hypothesis Significance testing.

Randomness isn’t chaos. Randomness is when there is an equal probability of something happening. If there is a pool of events and all the events have the same probability of happening, that is an example of randomness. Information is an inverse property to randomness, where there is some type of sequence and correlation among pairs, i.e., a joint probability. Information is an ordered sequence of the joint probability of two things joined by an operator that denotes a correlation. So, that means if we are testing for the presence of information and a message in a spread of cards, we are looking for correlations, patterns, and redundancy above chance.

Say that a tarot card reader is able to reject the null hypothesis and show that there is a message in the cards. Does this mean that it was the tarot cards after all? No. What is actually happening? When someone with precognition senses the future, what is happening is that the information is being written to their brain and body. Biological systems are very noisy, and they are stochastic and chaotic. There is a lot of randomness. Similar to how random events are altered outside a person’s body through magic, precognition orders random events inside a person’s body.

The synaptic transmission of neurons—whether a neuron fires or not—is inherently stochastic. For example, the exact timing and number of vesicles released in response to each action potential can vary due to stochastic factors. These factors may include random fluctuations in the concentration of calcium ions or variations in the availability of vesicles for release. In addition, the probability of a neurotransmitter molecule binding to a receptor depends on factors such as the concentration of neurotransmitter in the synaptic cleft, the affinity of the neurotransmitter for its receptor, and the presence of other molecules that may compete for receptor binding. By manipulating stochastic, noisy, and probabilistic factors such as these, precognitive information is written to the person’s brain through the activation of neural pathways.

Because of this, probability manipulation can be used to influence a person’s thoughts. By manipulating the probability of them making a particular decision, you can influence processes such as synaptic transmission and the firing of neural pathways. For obvious ethical reasons, I do not use this technique often and I do not teach it. In this political climate, who knows what people would do. I can compel people with that technique, but it requires one enter into a head space where you are okay with total domination of another person, and that persona is hard to shake off.

This means that when we can reject the null hypothesis in a tarot card reading regarding whether the cards convey a message or not, the power isn’t coming from the tarot cards or any magical system. Rather, a person is using precognition to sense the future. They are correlating that with entropic systems to encode information in an external source. Similar to how noise gets ordered in their brain, the entropic system becomes ordered to encode information. That implies there isn’t anything special about tarot cards. Instead, it is a combination of psychokinesis and precognition. Of course that implies a level of psychokinesis and precognition is necessary, though, a particular system is not.

For example, my husband is a diviner. He has precognitive abilities, empathic abilities, and small forms of psychokinesis, which manifest through his use of cards as a tool. The cards that frequently come up when we’ve been able to reject the null hypothesis for me are:

• King of Hearts
• Queen of Spades
• King of Diamonds
• Queen of Clubs
• King of Clubs

These cards frequently come up when my husband does a reading in a controlled experiment. We have an automatic card shuffler to eliminate any bias introduced from how we may shuffle the cards. My husband calls them the Five Monarchs, and he says that they represent five different personas that I have. He is correlating his empathic abilities with an ensemble that has entropy to encode information about my subconscious mind. These cards come up frequently beyond chance. Many occultists who have run into me are probably familiar with who is my Queen of Spades aspect that exemplifies the Evil Queen archetype.

While we are on the topic, formats like JPG and Computer Vision (CV) use Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) to convert blocks of pixel data from the spatial domain (the original image) into the frequency domain (represented by coefficients). It does this by decomposing the image into a sum of cosine functions of different frequencies. The DCT represents the image data as a set of coefficients corresponding to different frequencies. Lower frequencies represent smooth variations in color and intensity, while higher frequencies represent rapid changes, such as edges or fine details. This means that any occult image that can be encoded as a JPEG is composed of sines and cosines, indicating that the image possesses harmonics. This means that any sigil or magical seal encoded in a JPG format is an image composed of sines and cosines that can be minimally represented with n modulo 2. If you encode the magical texts or magical seals into a digital image, it has a harmonic and binary representation.

I’ve been experimenting with the interplay of harmonics, entropy, and image formats to manipulate Johnson–Nyquist noise or randomness from beam splitters and laser pointers, with the aim of conjuring digital images and sigils directly through magic. My endeavors have involved extensive research and experimentation. However, regrettably, given the increasing radicalization within occult and paranormal communities, it’s too dangerous, irresponsible, and unethical to allow this knowledge to fall into their hands.

Entropy is not necessarily randomness, either, although they are often used interchangeably. Randomness and entropy become interchangeable when entropy is maximized. Entropy is a measurement of an ensemble and the permutations of that ensemble. A system that can be configured differently is thus an entropic system; however, that doesn’t necessarily imply randomness. Randomness implies one configuration being just as likely as another one. Having different permutations doesn’t imply all permutations are equally likely. Factorials can be used to calculate the number of possible arrangements or configurations of a system, which is closely related to its entropy. A maximally entropic system would be random; however, a random system is not necessary for there to a psychic influence, for there just needs to be enough degrees of freedom and entropy.

I think tarot cards denote a particular culture. It’s a signifier of cultural membership. It signals to everyone that you are into occultism and tarot card readers act as guides, so it denotes a particular level of spiritual authority. Tarot card readers would thus be equivalent to an evangelical that does intercessory prayer. Seeing a tarot card reader would be like a Christian seeking a pastor.

We don’t call Music Physics. We call Music Music, and we classify it as an art. To me, magic is the part of the underlying metaphysical aspects. The problem that I have is occultists’ belief that they have a dominance on magic such that people are starting to believe you cannot practice magic without occultism. Honestly, occultism is going down really, really dark paths, and I don’t believe you can spiritually progress while practicing occultism, so, for me, it is imperative to unlink magic and occultism.

A tarot card reader that claims they rely on intuition is a fake. If there were a message encoded in the cards, we could measure the frequencies of particular cards to see if they were random without the interpretation of the tarot card reader, regardless of whether we knew what the message meant. The patterns would be there.

It’s an aesthetic and a token of cultural membership.

This post has a dual purpose. It is to serve as a test post to ensure that the blog is federated again, and it is to inform you that I probably won’t be updating it. I decided to put the blog back up after taking it down, again. While I will still be practicing magic and researching paranormal phenomena scientifically, this niche at this time draws entirely way too many insane people.

So, I’d rather have a fediverse presence that doesn’t touch on that and have everything spooky be private. Honestly, I have decided to purge occult paradigms and lexicons from my practices, so there isn’t really any point in interacting with occultists since I am skeptical of most of their paradigms and have no desire to really interact or participate with them or their communities. Will I practice magic still? Yes. Will it have an occult flavor? No.

The facets of me probably confuse a lot of people. I’m not a typical vampire. I absorb the energy from and the experiences of whoever is around me. While I don’t absorb semantic knowledge, I absorb tacit knowledge — the knowledge of how.

So, if you know how to do ceremonial magic, and I am in your locality, I will absorb via osmosis your knowledge of how to do ceremonial magic. However, I won’t absorb the semantic knowledge of the literal meanings of symbols. But, I will have an intuitive knowledge and recognition of those symbols if I see them. I won’t have a literal understanding of them; however, I will have an abstract and intuitive knowledge of what they mean from tapping into another magician’s experience with them. If you know chaos magic, I will now know chaos magic. If you know witchcraft, I will know witchcraft.

As of late, I am consciously and deliberately blocking absorption of that knowledge because I feel the experiences of many occultists are tainted with insanity, and I am not trying to go crazy with them. That is why it is beyond idiotic to try to gate keep and use magic against me. If you are in my locality, i.e., there is a causal, physical pathway for interaction like physical, albeit digital interactions on social media, I can absorb knowledge from you. A way to stop this would, of course, be to leave me alone.

It is why I can circumvent gatekeeping and initiation. The purpose of initiation is to create an ineffable experience that is tied to that cohort and culture. It bridges the gap between semantic knowledge from what is written in grimoires and the internal experiences and ineffable knowledge to work the magic. By absorbing the tacit knowledge from what it seems like to do to know how to do something, I can intuitively know how to do it. Magic is subjective; therefore, it is tied to subjective forms of qualia such as how it seems like to see blue or the blueness of blue to you. It is tied to your experience of what it seems like to be you. Since I can tap into that, I can tap into the ineffable aspects of magic.

To say it differently, I have the ability to telepathically channel and intuitively imitate abilities. This doesn’t apply to just magic and occultism. If I am around a person who can play the piano, I will know how to play the piano. If I am around a person who knows Math, I will know how to do Math. Unfortunately, unless I learn it and create experiences and memories for myself, it doesn’t stick around. Well, it does and does not.

My husband, who has permission to poke around my head, says that my mind is like the mansion from 13 ghosts, where my subconscious mind is like a giant maze structured around a black hole. I seem to create an instance, model, or homunculus of the person in my mind where the tacit knowledge and the qualia of their subjective experience are channeled into that representation. I don’t forget it so much that I shove that instance of the person into the maze. It is not so much that I am a brilliant magician and genius; instead, I absorb information. My husband calls me a living grimoire.
