In occultism, esoteric magic, and spiritual development, the idea of egregores is a fascinating and intricate subject. Common rituals, behaviors, and beliefs frequently produce these entities, also known as collective thought entities. #egregores https://connectparanormal.net/2024/06/30/egregores-autonomic-thoughtforms-impacting-collective-consciousness/

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.

Mysteries unravel,
In the sorcerer’s cold stare,
Human folly concocts,
Yet gods’ whispers vanish,
Drowned in magic’s deceit.

Wisdom’s obscure maze,
Navigated by the reckless,
In darkness they stumble,
Divine truths they chase,
But grasp fleeting shadows.

Silence holds sway,
In sorcerer’s domain,
Human ambition ensnared,
By cosmic machinations,
Gods’ presence, distant.

Between realms they wander,
Sorcerer, chasing illusions,
In twilight’s suffocating grip,
Faith wavers, clinging to illusions,
Magic’s tangled deception.

In the occult’s hold,
Soul finds no solace, torment,
Humanity’s folly laid bare,
Divine essence obscured,
In sorcery’s unyielding grasp.

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.

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.

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?

This is going to be a very, very horrible and lethal timeline/reality to just be a mundane human without any occult or esoteric knowledge or psychic and magical abilities in. Considering the rate of survival for “normal” people, I do not envy them. My husband and I are very sensitive to magical and psychic energy. For my husband, it boosts his divinatory and precognitive abilities. He will suddenly start having visions and will develop an interest in refining his astrological skills. For me, it makes me very hungry as a vampire and dark. If you are a regular human, you are pretty much screwed. If there is a nuclear war, and you are a regular human, you will probably die.

I think that’s how magical skills and psychic abilities will probably spread. I think it will spread through natural selection following a nuclear war. That’s why I think magical organizations trying to make the world more magical through their magical operations being horrified that we are teetering on the collapse of civilization shows how asinine and short-sighted their goals were. Evolution works through survivorship.

It’s conventionally asserted and believed that magic shifts probabilities. Shifting probabilities, even on small scales, changes the stochastic aspects of radiation. The number and energy of radiation particles detected at a given location and time fluctuate randomly due to various environmental factors. In addition to that, when radiation interacts with matter, such as in scattering or absorption processes, the outcomes are probabilistic. That means that a magician who has a latent ability to shift probabilities and the implicit desire to live will shift probabilities so that high-energy radioactive particles are unlikely to hit and shred their genetic and cellular physiology. A really neat way to visualize this is to create a DIY cloud chamber and record it and have it in the vicinity whenever you do any magical operation. If your magic has a bit of power, it will interfere with the background radiation via changing the ionization energy of what you see in the cloud chamber. You will be able to see it.

Want to prove Einstein’s Special Relativity? Build this.

I try to keep the woo down and avoid using buzzwords as buzzwords. A field is a structured set. In mathematics, a set is a collection of distinct objects, considered as an entity. A field is a structured set. A structured set refers to a set equipped with additional elements or operations that give it a specific organization or arrangement. So, we can say that a psychic field is an organized collection of entities that possess subjective characteristics, i.e., qualia. The properties in the topology of that field would have values.

If we say that each property or cell of that field is at equilibrium, then a wave is when one cell is not at equilibrium and propagates a change. It spreads a change to the other adjacent cells that push them out of equilibrium. If you have a grid and all the values are 0, a wave would be a change in values from the first row and first column from left to right. It would wrap around each row and changes the values from 0 to a different value, too. That is a wave. The ability for one psychic entity to propagate a wave of change to another is the potential energy, i.e., dunamis, and the actual changing of those other things is energia. There are analogs to potential and kinetic energy on a psychic level.

While it may seem like I am some flavor of animist, I am on the fence about that. I frequently say that will is analogous to mass in that mass is a property that resists acceleration. Will is a phenomenological property that when you try to get someone to do something, their will intervenes and resists you. Consent is a property where a person’s will does not act to stop you. When someone explicitly violates a person’s consent, they are acting against the will of that person. Psychic phenomena imply a more fundamental, higher-dimensional phenomenological domain. From that perspective, a table has a psychic aspect to it where it can experience and observe itself. But, when I act on that table, the table cannot resist me. It has no will. Conscious entities have a will. An entity that is a body of experiences is not necessarily conscious and doesn’t necessarily have a will. It’s still energy to be ordered, where it begins to have a will when it interacts with my will. It would be analogous to massless energy — light. So, manipulating psychic energy that comes from the existence of tables and rocks would be like manipulating light. It has psychic energy that emerges from a subjective characteristic of experience where the rock reflexively perceives itself, yet it has no will. Mythologies, stories, and fictions are ways that we can organize this energy, where the seed of its emergence as a conscious entity comes from collective will.

Earth has an atmosphere of gas around our planet. Psychic fields are coherent and cohesive in the same way gas or liquid is. Similar to how there is a flow to liquids and air currents, there is a flow to our consciousness. In the same way this gas can heat up in such a way that it drives air currents and streams and creates storms and all sorts of other meteorological phenomena, energy added to the psychic atmosphere of our planet can do similar things. Because my husband and I are highly sensitive to this, we experience an increase in our abilities and an alignment of our personality traits in certain ways. There’s a huge psychic storm building up. I wonder if it is cyclical. Something similar happened a few years ago, so I wonder if the cyclical spiral society finds itself in beneath the heavens is being mirrored above in the heavens.

This is going to be a very, very horrible and lethal timeline/reality to just be a mundane human without any occult or esoteric knowledge or psychic and magical abilities in. Considering the rate of survival for “normal” people, I do not envy them. My husband and I are very sensitive to magical and psychic energy. For my husband, it boosts his divinatory and precognitive abilities. He will suddenly start having visions and will develop an interest in refining his astrological skills. For me, it makes me very hungry as a vampire and dark. If you are a regular human, you are pretty much screwed. If there is a nuclear war, and you are a regular human, you will probably die.

I think that’s how magical skills and psychic abilities will probably spread. I think it will spread through natural selection following a nuclear war. That’s why I think magical organizations trying to make the world more magical through their magical operations being horrified that we are teetering on the collapse of civilization shows how asinine and short-sighted their goals were. Evolution works through survivorship.

It’s conventionally asserted and believed that magic shifts probabilities. Shifting probabilities, even on small scales, changes the stochastic aspects of radiation. The number and energy of radiation particles detected at a given location and time fluctuate randomly due to various environmental factors. In addition to that, when radiation interacts with matter, such as in scattering or absorption processes, the outcomes are probabilistic. That means that a magician who has a latent ability to shift probabilities and the implicit desire to live will shift probabilities so that high-energy radioactive particles are unlikely to hit and shred their genetic and cellular physiology. A really neat way to visualize this is to create a DIY cloud chamber and record it and have it in the vicinity whenever you do any magical operation. If your magic has a bit of power, it will interfere with the background radiation via changing the ionization energy of what you see in the cloud chamber. You will be able to see it.

I try to keep the woo down and avoid using buzzwords as buzzwords. A field is a structured set. In mathematics, a set is a collection of distinct objects, considered as an entity. A field is a structured set. A structured set refers to a set equipped with additional elements or operations that give it a specific organization or arrangement. So, we can say that a psychic field is an organized collection of entities that possess subjective characteristics, i.e., qualia. The properties in the topology of that field would have values.

If we say that each property or cell of that field is at equilibrium, then a wave is when one cell is not at equilibrium and propagates a change. It spreads a change to the other adjacent cells that push them out of equilibrium. If you have a grid and all the values are 0, a wave would be a change in values from the first row and first column from left to right. It would wrap around each row and changes the values from 0 to a different value, too. That is a wave. The ability for one psychic entity to propagate a wave of change to another is the potential energy, i.e., dunamis, and the actual changing of those other things is energia. There are analogs to potential and kinetic energy on a psychic level.

While it may seem like I am some flavor of animist, I am on the fence about that. I frequently say that will is analogous to mass in that mass is a property that resists acceleration. Will is a phenomenological property that when you try to get someone to do something, their will intervenes and resists you. Consent is a property where a person’s will does not act to stop you. When someone explicitly violates a person’s consent, they are acting against the will of that person. Psychic phenomena imply a more fundamental, higher-dimensional phenomenological domain. From that perspective, a table has a psychic aspect to it where it can experience and observe itself. But, when I act on that table, the table cannot resist me. It has no will. Conscious entities have a will. An entity that is a body of experiences is not necessarily conscious and doesn’t necessarily have a will. It’s still energy to be ordered, where it begins to have a will when it interacts with my will. It would be analogous to massless energy — light. So, manipulating psychic energy that comes from the existence of tables and rocks would be like manipulating light. It has psychic energy that emerges from a subjective characteristic of experience where the rock reflexively perceives itself, yet it has no will. Mythologies, stories, and fictions are ways that we can organize this energy, where the seed of its emergence as a conscious entity comes from collective will.

This is going to be my last post on this group because the situation is just beyond idiotic. In my 26 years of practicing magic, I have never, ever, ever met a group as persistently and chronically dumb, idiotic, extremely online, and utterly insane as #DKMU. I literally can’t wrap my mind around how their members are able to function. At all.

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 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’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.

I had a sneaking suspicion that being extremely online and obsessive with occult memes and online cultures turned many of the members of DKMU into Markovian chatbots that are even dumber than even ChatGPT. Since I am an empiricist, I decided to test this hypothesis scientifically. One member, in particular, formerly named FishSticks, inspired this experiment, although I collected data from a large sample of DKMU members.

I collected a substantial amount of posts from the members of DKMU’s social media profiles, including Tumblr, Twitter, Mastodon, etc., and BlueSky using APIs and web scraping tools. I trained a Markov chain text generator using the preprocessed data from Tumblr, Twitter, and BlueSky. Then, I used the trained Markov model to generate synthetic posts.

These posts mimic the style and content of posts found on the aforementioned platforms that I know were written by bots, as well as memes. I trained it on accounts I knew were automated, including bots occultists made. I extracted things like word frequencies, sentence structure, average post length, etc., from the members of DKMU’s posts.

Since I wanted to compare the similarity between two vectors, particularly in high-dimensional spaces, I used Cosine Similarity. It calculates the cosine of the angle between two vectors and provides a similarity score ranging from -1 to 1. Since I am working with text data, I used word embeddings such as Word2Vec embeddings to represent the text data in a dense vector space to calculate similarity using cosine similarity or other distance measures in this vector space.

I used t-tests since I have a continuous measure of similarity (e.g., cosine similarity scores between real and synthetic posts) to see whether the mean similarity score differs significantly between the two groups. It didn’t. What does that mean?

To put it simply, it means that speaking to the members of DKMU is not significantly different from speaking to a chatbot that spews random nonsense. Considering they’ve bound an egregore to a Markov bot, you can actually treat them in a similar manner. If someone were able to scientifically prove that I am almost identical to a chatbot that spews nonsense, I would see that as a problem. I truly don’t understand how they can be comfortable living like that. This is an empirical case that shows they have absolutely no identity. At all. The insane thing is that many of these same people get highly offended when people mistake them for a bot.

Considering that many of these folks try their hand at being occult authors, that means you could actually replace their writing with ChatGPT, and no one would notice because they are almost identical to a Markov bot!

These extremely online folks have literally degenerated. Their brain is actually rotting. Wow. Stay away from cults people!

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.

People are not as mystically, magically, or psychically disconnected as we think they are. Magic that you can interact with is not like a ‘set it and forget it’ thing. It stays associated with you per your potential to interact with it. I’m seeing many people who have the wrong idea about servitors…

Locality can be interchanged with causality in a lot of cases, so we can say entities are connected if they can cause a change in each other. For example, if I throw a ball at someone, there is a scalar of speed and a vector of velocity that carries the ball through the air and hits them in the head; thereby causing a change in their state. If I threw a ball at a person from my house, and they were on the other side of the world, the ball would hit the wall and not them. There is no connection because they are not local. Systems are connected on some level if they can cause a change.

The above example is ephemeral because there is no prolonged connection beyond those moments. Magic is more persistent because a person can interact with a spell they’ve cast or an entity they are interacting with per intent. If you create a spell, servitor, etc., and you can interact with the spell or the servitor, you’re still connected. If you can control a servitor, you are still connected; therefore, the servitor is a part of you. Since the servitor is connected to you via causal relationships, that servitor you created can exert an influence backward on you. What does that mean? That means if you set a servitor after someone and can control that servitor, there is a locality between that person, the servitor, and your mind, so a magician can get into your head or influence the servitor to influence you via that open channel. You can cut by cutting the connection to the servitor; however, that implies you can’t control the entity. It’s fully autonomous. If you cut off your hand, your hand is not a part of you; however, you can’t move that hand anymore. Your ability to exert a causal influence on something implies you are in that thing’s locality and that there exists a potential inverse where you can be pushed back on and influenced. Spells connect things, and servitors are persistent daemons. You are disconnected from a system, network, or entity if there is no potential causal relationship to imply a local connection.

We can think of the psychic plane as having systems of connected concepts and experiences. Personally, I am skeptical of the realism of astrology and astral planes, so I believe that any celestial metaphor or analogy should have some support. We can point to an area that is a cluster of hateful concepts and experiences and we can say that the influence of those clusters is the dominant force for that domain. We say that things are in a solar system based on something called a hill sphere.

The Hill sphere is a concept in celestial mechanics that defines a region around a celestial body (like a planet or a moon) within which its gravitational influence dominates over the gravitational influence of another body. We can simulate a psychic analogy via Graph Theory and force-drawing algorithms like Force Atlas. That will render something that looks like a semantic constellation. In this, there is an attractive force on connecting nodes after a random repulsive force is exerted on every node on the graph. The forces acting on each node are continuously recalculated based on their positions and the strengths of connections (edges) between them. This iterative process continues until the forces reach equilibrium, meaning that the nodes settle into stable positions where the forces balance out. With this, we can see a clustering of concepts, archetypes, patterns, experiences, etc via associativity and their correspondences. Within clusters formed by the Force Atlas algorithm, certain nodes may emerge as more central or influential than others. These central nodes often have higher degrees of connectivity within their respective clusters, meaning they are more strongly connected to other nodes in the cluster. Nodes with higher connectivity within a cluster are akin to bodies with larger hill spheres in celestial mechanics because they exert greater influence over the surrounding nodes within their cluster. So, there is a weak analogical connection between psychic bodies hill spheres in celestial bodies.

While we are physically in the same place, when people engage with psychic planes, a part of them is moving within those domains where there is an implicit influence. Mass is a property that resists acceleration, so we can think of a psychic analogy as what we will or will not do. If you are psychically being displaced as you move towards a domain that exerts a greater influence, you are accelerating towards that thing which implies there is an inverse relationship between the influence of your will and that body. You are paying for your magic through sacrificing bits of yourself, in other words, which includes your sanity.

You would think that chaos magicians would realize that magic is chaotic. When people think of chaos, they tend to think of disorder, which is randomness. However, chaotic systems are ordered and deterministic. They don’t have a linear rate of change, where small differences matter. What does that mean within the context of magic? It means magic mutates. Magic is chaotic, mutates, and changes; therefore, magicians do not have full control of the spell because it can change.

I am not going to delve into complex math. Whenever you cast a spell to achieve a particular outcome, you shape it so that time flows or converges toward that goal. It acts as an attractor; however, what would have been the expected outcome often diverges. There’s a fork – a bifurcation, and these forks lead to outcomes we did not intuitively predict. For instance, you might cast a spell to secure a job, successfully land the position, and then unexpectedly face sexual assault at work, an event that wouldn’t have occurred otherwise. Conversely, your new colleagues might decide to form a lottery pool, win, and you receive a substantial sum of money, despite the spell being cast solely for employment. It could swing either way, and both scenarios represent unintended consequences.

Spells are “living”. At the very least, they serve as extensions of you, and owing to the chaotic and fractal essence of consciousness, each spell becomes an entity with its own autonomy. You’re never entirely in control of magic because it isn’t static; it evolves and mutates in unforeseeable ways. One would expect chaos magicians to grasp that magical rules are subject to change. Just because you are the creator of a magical system doesn’t guarantee its adherence to your intentions or your control over it. Magic is a living, evolving, and mutating force. Personally, I’m aware that my magic possesses its own will, underscoring the importance of fortifying one’s will as a magician. Otherwise, instead of you using the spell, the spell will use you to manifest itself in the world.

When I was in college, I came across a good summary of magical patterns. I believe I found this list in the book I was reading during my freshman year, ‘Grimoire for the Apprentice Wizard,’ but I’m not entirely certain. One pattern, in particular, caught my eye:

Essence: also known as “Murphy’s Law,” “Finagle’s Law,” etc.: if anything can go wrong, it will — and in the most annoying manner possible.

Remarks: Magical associations sometimes operate in the reverse of what was wanted; meaningful coincidences are just as likely to be unpleasant as they are to be helpful (especially if a lot of emotion goes into the related situations). Even if “nothing can possibly go wrong,” some element of the universe may change so that things will go wrong anyway.

This Law is probably based on the use of countermagic by one’s own subconscious mind, for whatever devious or even neurotic reasons it may have. My guess is that it also ties in with the Anti-Psi talents. This Law explains why some people’s magic seems to work backwards. Emotionally healthy magicians have less problems with this Law than unhealthy ones do, and once a magician has reached the Master/Mistress rank his “klutz factor” tends to go down accordingly. The klutz factor (or “fumble factor”) is used by many referees to dampen down the effectiveness of high-level magicians who are unbalancing their game universes, but it has a basis in fact as well as in game playability.

Keywords: These can only be, “If anything can go wrong, it will.”

Chaos magicians should possess a tacit and intuitive understanding that magic is chaotic. I’m seeing a wizard in their 50s undergoing a full-blown meltdown because magic isn’t reliable or predictable, and he has lost control of the system he helped create. Ironically, this wizard has an intuitive and tacit understanding that the entities he helped bring forth through his “ghost stories” and tales of the “Other” have used him to manifest themselves. This further implies that he was never in control – he was merely a conduit. This underscores the importance of discipline. Your magic is an extension of you – parts of you that you might not have control over. If you have a weak will, your magic can, and will, consume you through obsession. It reminds me of when Bonnie learns expression:

Bonnie tries to kill Elena

Throughout history, numerous prolific magicians have dictated intricate magical stories and systems centered around and communicated through entities that formed the foundation for various magical traditions, orders, and systems. However, many of these magicians eventually succumbed to insanity and then depravity. While I refrain from citing specific historical examples due to their abhorrent nature, those well-versed in the occult are aware of the frequency of such occurrences.

I’m skeptical. Unless your metaphysical assertions and claims are epistemologically justifiable, I will regard it as fiction. If a person is insisting on the epistemological validity of an entire paradigm and theories for that paradigm, I am going to need Bayesian Statistics in addition to null hypothesis significance testing. I’m not one of those people who says that everything must be empirical, considering my metaphysical love is mathematics, and that is a priori, intuitive, not empirical, and objective. The bizarre thing about mathematics is that it is epistemologically not empirical; however, it is objective because 1+1 will always equal 2. An iconic property of fictions is that they are subjective, intersubjective, and dynamic – they mutate. Mathematics is not empirical; however, it is tautological, so it remains true in all cases.

Philosophically, the intuitive nature of mathematical knowledge is evidence, albeit weak evidence, for the existence of an ideal and noetic sphere. I believe that the level of intuition for conceptual mathematical entities is related to the intuition that goes into my psychic perception. I think that is why many prolific magicians are also polymaths. To my knowledge, some parapsychologists are exploring this; however, I have little evidence for that, so take that with a grain of salt.

Ontologically, I am flexible; however, I will treat the magical and occult paradigm as a convenient fiction. Ontology encompasses propositions about the existence of something, whereas epistemology is how we know that the proposition is valid. It is how we determine if that belief is justified. While I am deeply into magic and I understand that the boundaries between reality, illusion, and fiction are not as sharp as we would like to think, I make sure never to lose touch with reality.

At this point in my life as a magician, I am less interested in book clubs and creepy podcasts and more interested in replication and experimentation that I carry out myself. I’m skeptical and cynical. I will interact with occult and magical systems in the same way I would interact with Marvel, Warhammer 40K, the DC universe, etc. A lot of people clutch their pearls over that and like to argue that their paradigms, currents, traditions, and religions are “real”. Again, if you cannot scientifically prove to me their existence, they’re fiction to me. They are convenient fictions that people can use to produce effects; however, there is a tenuous connection between the existential import of that being and the effects since it is mediated through the intentions, expectations, and beliefs of a person. That’s where I am at.

I explored the more woo parts of occultism and the paranormal as a teenager and in my 20s. As someone in their 30s, I am too old to be playing pretend. And, I am deeply annoyed by millienals and Gen X’ers who are still fucking LARPing. We are too damn old.

After finding the millionth schizo thread about me, looping me into another person’s gangstalking delusion on Reddit, this is my mood:

These haters obsessed, can’t keep my name out they mouth
Don’t pay no rent, I pay a mortgage on my sickening house
I’m blackity-black, rakin’ in racks, you nosey bitches
And how I run my business ain’t yo’ business to be worried about

Real talk, don’t fuck with a Aries in bad bitch mode
I done paid every bitch, every cent I owed
They be quick on my dick when I click upload
I’m the bitch, still rich, I’ll never be canceled

I’m the one and the only, you’re a hater, you’re lonely
Feel them pullin’ down on me, they already below me
Bitches fake and they phony, all they got’s a baloney
Eyes only on the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony
I’m in the room with elites, bum bitches under my feets

No Bitch

I wish I was kidding. It is literally the same people from 15 years ago. Yes, they have really been doing this for the last 15 years. This time, apparently, I am being paid by the government to troll occult communities as part of a grand conspiracy to keep magic away from the populace. Yep, you heard it from me. I work in the government’s anti-magic department. Oh, and in case you weren’t keeping track, I’m apparently doing this from Serbia so I’m a foreign national, too.

It is surreal how everyone will watch these people spiral into psychosis and not do anything about it. I am seriously waiting for these people to be on the news. It has been the same people going from Discord to Discord and Reddit sub to Reddit sub for 15 years now. Literally the same people… I can’t even imagine living like that.

By the way, one of these said insane people is doing this really creepy thing of feeding AI text from archives back then to create AI-generated characters so that they can recreate the time when we were all in high school. I’m not kidding. This little insane cohort started when we were literally in high school and middle school. Yes, we were on online paranormal forums back then. It is my old group I spoke to online from high school that is literally fucking obsessed with a paradigm built literally on Dungeons and Dragons. If you know, you know. They are talking about Naruto and Dragon Ball Z as if this is still high school, and we are running back home to watch Toonami. I can’t grasp what happened to make these people stunted at high school.

I am finding that this is a common thing among people with schizophrenia or Borderline Personality Disorder. Apparently, they will try to replace whomever they have a parasocial relationship with with AI, so they will train the AI from media and create an AI character. It’s not just this person, which is another reason why I minimize the amount of faithful media I put out there. It gives me the creeps. But, yeah, that’s a thing that is going on. It is getting to the point where I think many of these people are sincerely dangerous to themselves or other people. If they spin off into psychosis and hurt someone, I truly wonder if Reddit or Discord can be held liable since their platform enabled it.

Paradigms are ontological assumptions, beliefs, and expectations about the world, shaping how we perceive recurring structures or points. On a psychological level, they are how we connect data points from our sensory experience or intuition to see the world, so paradigms are models. Magical paradigms are useful because they provide a framework to perceive our anomalous experiences, such as psychically perceived entities or altered states of consciousness different from our baseline level of consciousness.

One of the biggest challenges for people just starting out in magic is that they are locked into a particular way of perceiving the world. However, when magical and paranormal paradigms become too internalized, they can lock us into a way of seeing the world. For example, the categories that occult paradigms create can make it so that every anomalous experience gets labeled as an angel, a demon, a ghost, an alien, or anything that fits a prototype of the culture that they belong to. This can create fallacies or even illusions.

A project I am working on involves looking at the properties of experiences and entities absent any mnemonic aspects of properties, conducting regression analysis algorithmically, and constructing more robust gestalts and models to avoid being locked into a particular way of perceiving magic. I am keeping the term magic because it connotes the artistic aspects, albeit I am gradually purging occult lexicon that denotes occult paradigms. While the experience itself might be veridical, it being constrained by a paranormal or occult paradigm can create a fallacious and illusory way of perceiving it.

The sudden, violent shift in experience that can come from something that turns our world upside down, an initiatory event, gnosis, or a shift in consciousness from drugs can create a liminal space that opens people up to a magical way of seeing the world. I’m not a fan of those methods because I’ve seen more people develop an obsessive relationship with magic with those methods more so than an enlightened one. That and people’s ability to do magic tends to become linked to that state. It is like that person who manifests psychokinesis out of anger. It is not very useful nor healthy to have to work your way up into a state of anger or fear to do something.

I do a lot of regression analysis. In regression analysis, there are points where the goal is to statistically estimate the relationship among dependent variables to connect the dots and create a model. The thing with these models is that there is a point where that model is no longer valid, and it is not an exact fit. That is similar to how paradigms work. They create a model of the world that connects the dots and shapes how we perceive things; however, there is a point where those models are not pragmatically effective.

For every paradigm, our intuitions, perceptions, and expectations break down and become continuous everywhere and differentiable nowhere, i.e., a singularity. All models are wrong, and all models are useful in a very narrow context. I have seen a trend of occultists internalizing paradigms when, in actuality, we should be treating them conventionally as languages. We use language out of convention where a multilingual person can switch back and forth between languages based upon convention. It also implicitly allows the creation of an abstract and virtual space within the person’s mind that they can switch to—a type of daemon that holds that virtual world.

Paradigms are world views that connote categories, that are dimensions, and relationships among those dimensions create planes and a structured set. Paradigms are supersets of gestalts, defined entities, properties, and language. So, conventionally, you can treat them as a language since a language is the expressions that emerge from the structured sets of the paradigms ontology. Virtually, ontological languages define virtual layers, so you can treat magical systems as virtual machines.

I never ever interact with magical systems on low levels; rather, it’s all high level and abstract. There’s a level of skepticism there, on a low level, albeit there is a temporary suspension of belief. Technique-wise, I create ontological domains and systems of daemons, i.e., servitors, where the servitors function as personas that I can shift in and out of via ostension.

Ontologically, languages can define universes. I am skipping over the epistemological and ontological issues of whether or not these universes exist. In Boolean Logic, whether or not an instance of a set exists such that we can measure it is irrelevant, so from a Boolean perspective, we can just focus on the logical operations without getting into having an instance of that universe we can point to.

The idea of an ontological language defining a universe may seem pretty abstract. An entity is just a thing. It’s an object. I’m a physical entity; therefore, I have physical properties like Chemistry. Chemistry has things like formulas which we can express and measure in the symbolic language of Math. I am a physical entity that exists in the physical world where my existence emerges from physical rules and properties, so physical relationships and symmetries are intrinsic to me.

Analytically, paradigms are abstractions of structured sets that connote symbols. Languages that emerge from those models define virtual universes via the stories that emerge. We can treat magical paradigms as analogous to the high levels of computers where an Operating System is a virtual layer and machine. Beyond a convenient, concrete analogy, I am not saying that our brains are computers or that magic can be grounded in any computational model. It’s a metaphor. We can treat magical systems as virtual layers; therefore, we can avoid internalizing magical paradigms if we abstract it within layers of symbolism and treat it as the rules of a game instead of a theory.

I am simply saying that we can approach different magical paradigms as operating in different universes, which allows us to abstract and use it in ways that do not displace our initial way of interacting with the world. We can intuitively approach it as we do a fictional universe or the rules of a video game.

So creating systems of abstractions is the same thing as virtualizing something. I’m a Linux User, but sometimes I have to use Windows. I run a virtual machine when I have to use Windows. I treat magical paradigms the same way. I utilize magical systems within layers of abstractions to create a sandboxed off virtual realm to keep negative effects at bay. Creating a magical system of your own and translating one system into another version via interpretation creates a virtual instance that you can enhance by further abstracting it via homotopies. The instance of a magical entity from a magical paradigm is isolated from the rest of me via layers of symbolic abstractions that leave it within its own virtual layer.

Does the existence of magic make me think physical reality is a simulation? No. The elegant expression of a mathematical statement is the reduction of it to a True or False answer. When trying to prove something by induction, you’re essentially looking for a case that is True or False. A language is a superset of entities that are symbols joined together by operators. Languages can be reduced to base-2 expressions—binary strings. Any answer to a question or a description that can be mathematically described can be modeled via a binary string and expressed digitally.

Simulation theories are just as largely unfalsifiable as theistic or teleological ideas of intelligent design. From an inductive perspective, both simulation theories and beliefs about intelligent design converge on the same thing. Dev and God, in that context, connote the same thing. The testable parts of whether our world is a simulation are looking for artifacts. While the idiom “glitch in the matrix” relates to paranormal things, the evidence would be more mundane. An example of an artifact is the set speed of a CPU as compared to the speed of a simulation. The speed of a simulation is limited by the speed of a CPU; therefore, it can create an artifact. The physical equivalent of lagging would be a good indicator along with spontaneous loss of resolution, i.e., continuous, smooth things suddenly become discrete, sharp, and broken.

No, I don’t believe the universe is a simulation. However, the existence of magical and psychic phenomena implies that the physical world is emergent and therefore a phase state. In a similar way, ice water and liquid water are phase states; the physical world is a phase state that’s metaphorically harder, denser, more ordered, and more cohesive. I believe the world is like a crystal that emerges from a psychic domain. It would be a solid as compared to a gas, albeit there is a case for time being more like a liquid since time flows.

Am I a highly skilled and powerful sorcerer? Yes. Does this mean I will join your cult? No. Does this mean I will engage with your propaganda (memes)? No. Does this mean I will allow myself to become radicalized? No. I am not sure why the existence of a sorcerer who is not part of a cult and is not radicalized is so triggering to people, but it is. People seem to have a mindset that you are either part of our cult or you are [insert the most horrible atrocity imaginable] and an enemy. It is not because I agree with the other side, but it is because I do not share their very narrow religious, political, or cultural beliefs, complete with obsessive consumption of propaganda of their choice.

2024 seems to be the year of AI-generated misinformation, conspiracy theories, and misinformation generated and spread by humans. In my opinion, it’s worst than what we were dealing with in 2020. I am glad I got off social media. For anyone saying, “But you are still on Mastodon,” this is a WordPress blog. While it is federated, I can’t see federated or live feeds. From my perspective, all I see are my blog posts, and replies show up as comments I can approve or deny. I am on social media, but then again, I am not. I have a limited ability to see or engage with people via this blog.

Am I salty? No, actually. I feel vindicated in that I made the right choice a long time ago concerning keeping my distance from social media networks, groups, so-called peers, etc. While everyone is spiraling off into insanity, I am drinking my tea and sitting pretty.

I think occult models, patterns, and schemas are dangerous and pathological; however, that doesn’t mean I think magic is the same. I’m a sorcerer who practices magic, but I am convinced that occultism is poison. I am psychic and interact with magical forces on a psychic level. This means that my mind is in contact with the energy of the collective experiences correlated with magical systems. To create a barrier between my consciousness, the edge of my consciousness, and the insanity, I create elaborate systems of abstractions.

Besides that, occult systems have been poisoned on a cultural and psychic level. For Wheel of Time readers, it’s equivalent to the poisoning of the Saidin half of the One Power. Luckily, occult systems are more like a contrived psychic construct, loosely associated with culture and resonating with experience. Any sorcerer can isolate themselves from that poison by using a different system of cultural patterns, allegories, and drawing from a different set of experiences.

Furthermore, every still practicing occultist I know from my cohort has become insane and spiraled off into dark web conspiracy esoteric orders. I really do mean the dark web. Currently, I’m working on abstracting and extracting elements of magic from the occult prototypes and patterns. Unfortunately, the Venn diagram between toxic nerds, incels, and problematic occult memes, patterns, and images is a circle. Popular art has been just as poisoned, so I will need to create this from scratch. However, I need to make it abstract enough to resonate with other people’s experiences on a psychic level so I can draw and amplify psychic energy.

Moreover, I believe drinking from a poisoned well of power is pushing magicians over the edge. Almost every schizophrenic woman who forms a parasocial relationship with me, cis-gendered or trans, is associated with Babalon explicitly. They explicitly integrate their ritualistic practices with 156. Doing some research, I’ve noticed that this association between schizophrenic women and Babalon goes all the way back to the 1970s and 1980s. There is an associative correlation between Babalon and schizophrenic women that decide to engage in magic dealing with them. There are systems that my mind flags as dangerous. It outlines them in red, causing me not to seek out detailed knowledge of them, so my knowledge of Babalon is limited. My mind has explicitly outlined her with red and put up wards. Someone in my psionic cohort is getting drawn down rabbit holes via that particular deity, albeit I believe it is the culture and them being terminally online that is responsible and not some supernatural force. They really should be seeking out psychiatric help. I am not calling anyone out; instead, I am seeing a pattern of schizophrenic women from different cohorts – cis and trans – drawn to Babalon, so there is some association between that deity and schizophrenic women, whether paranormal or purely psychological and psychiatric.

Furthermore, my mental wards are not intended to prevent external entities from doing something; instead, they prevent me from doing things. If I get a flash of prescience that says there is danger ahead of me and I am walking, it will be harder and harder for me to continue physically walking until I just stop walking. I have to turn around because my subconscious mind has placed a block on that decision. I don’t know why, but my body won’t allow me forward. I go home and then find out if I kept walking I would have walked into a shootout. I have an intuitive sense of what is a bad rabbit hole to go down or how deeply I can descend without losing my way. Adopting the jargon of chaotes who like SCP, I have a cognitohazard sensor built into my subconscious mind that makes itself known implicitly through my gut. Seeing the shit show that is Thelema, I am glad I did not jump on that wagon when my cohort did. When I say my cohort, I am specifically referring to millennials that were involved in paranormal, energy working forums, and IRC servers in the late ’90s and early 2000s.

Additionally, as a teen, I never researched The runes of the Elder Futhark because my mind intuitively labeled many pagan ideologies as red and made me feel uncomfortable about much of the stuff I was reading. Over a decade later, I see the relationships many of those magical groups have to white supremacy, Nazis, etc. I think the nature of the culture and how they enable mental illness is to blame. My husband trusts me when I tell him I get a bad feeling about social influencers because, lo and behold, it comes out they did something awful.

Moreover, I have an odd relationship with reality. Anyone who knows me knows that I am highly skeptical and constantly lecturing about not losing touch with reality. I emphasize using an empirical perspective, but I love mathematics. Math has an odd relationship with reality. It is more abstract than reality and doesn’t necessarily describe reality; rather, it describes the inferences and consequences of rules, like a game. Math is less a description of reality and more like a game and story that writes itself. We also cannot empirically observe the number 1. 1 and I are symbols that point to the concept of 1, and Algebra is the manipulation of symbols per rules and relationships. A professor I had in college drove that lesson home. He made sure that we understood that mathematics is the manipulation of symbols and concepts, and that algebraic relationships are nothing more than rules that entities must obey. Math is a symbolic language whose purpose is to describe things in such a way that the ambiguity of everyday language is removed. Symbolically, numbers and magical sigils are both ideograms, so both mathematical symbols and sigils denote the same type of symbol. There’s a tautological relationship between a conceptual and ideal realm of Math and reality that humans know of via intuition. A video that goes into that is:

Are Prime Numbers Made Up?

I am not saying occultism is based on Mathematics because often Mathematical proofs of occult systems wind up false somewhere. I am stating that Mathematics shows an epistemological and ontological link between the Ideal, the Mental, and what we think of as Reality. The existence of Logic and Mathematics creates a paradox when discussing that in conjunction with Empiricism, ironically. Mathematics provides me with a logical basis for magical thought.

To be precise, I normally define divination and sorcery as inverses of each other. The etymology of the word sorcery is one who shifts fate, essentially.

sorcery (n.)

c. 1300, sorcerie, “witchcraft, magic, enchantment; act or instance of sorcery; supernatural state of affairs; seemingly magical works,” from Old French sorcerie, from sorcier “sorcerer, wizard,” from Medieval Latin sortiarius “teller of fortunes by lot; sorcerer,” literally “one who influences fate or fortune,” from Latin sors (genitive sortis) “lot, fate, fortune” (see sort (n.)).
also from c. 1300

Sorcery is a magical art of shifting futures. Divination, on the other hand, is the art of the prediction of futures. For example, a sorcerer would use tarot cards to create a particular future, whereas a diviner would use tarot cards to predict a future. Sorcery has an odd connection to reality. Sorcery is not descriptive like scientific languages that are meant to describe measurements precisely and predict things. Sorcery is an art where a magician intends to influence outcomes where there is a deviation between what the magician causes and what we expect. That difference, because of the deviation, is a gradient of energy. Magical systems are expressions of how things will be, not how they are, so there is a disjointed relationship with reality. When a person casts a spell or shifts a probabilistic and entropic system, even if we are just talking about the entropy of coins or cards to encode information, that person is breaking the unitary symmetry of reality and creating a structure or pattern that aligns with what they have willed to have happened. Fictional narratives are speculative or counter-factual, and in breaking the unitary system of a system, a magician realizes probabilistic subjunctive conditionals.

Furthermore, that creates a paradox because I am quick to criticize magicians for losing contact with reality when they become delusional and believe their hallucinations are real. On the other hand, I tacitly acknowledge that fictions and delusions can become real. Why does it become real for some and not others? Power. Energy. A property that passes from one system to another system that causes a change, i.e., a difference is conventionally referred to via an abstraction we call energy. The ability to get something to change as a consequence of you is power. So, the degree that a magician can do this is relative to energy and power, and we can empirically measure that change because there are physical anomalies because of the symmetry breaking.

Thankfully, mental illness is epistatic to psychic and magical ability. It is like inheriting red hair from your father and a gene for baldness. While your hair is red, no one will see it because you have no hair. Schizophrenia masks and mitigates psychic and magical power by introducing noise, disorder, and entropy. As a result, individuals with schizophrenia lack the ability to manifest their delusions and hallucinations because they struggle to organize and concentrate enough energy. Energy dissipation is correlated with disorder, causing a schizophrenic’s psychic energy to dissipate faster than they can effectively utilize it, making it too diffuse to realize a reality-warping event. Every once in a while, they are lucid; however, they are frequently too insane to be reliable. Psychotropic medications have no negative effect on psychic ability, so the best thing a schizophrenic person can do to improve their magic is to get on antipsychotic medication.

Moreover, potential energy can be thought of as the energy of configuration. It is the energy an entity has from its relationship to other things, internal or external. For example, mass is energy that matter is and has that emerges from its internal configuration of gluons. The configuration of gluons gives rise to hadrons like protons. Heat, in the form of enthalpy, relates to internal configurations of matter. In this context, the potential energy of the system comes from how a culture patterns and stores the experiences of its members.

Since I am discussing potential energy within the context of a psychic network, I should provide a more precise definition of energy. We can think of people’s minds and attributes of their minds as nodes connected to their own mind and the minds of others, and an adjacency matrix would be a matrix that represents the connections among nodes and the connections themselves as edges, where the edges have a weight. The energy of this system would be the sum of absolute values of the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix. That is pretty abstract. An eigenvalue is just a factor by which something is stretched or compressed, so the energy of the network is a sum of how we can scale something. We can think of it as springs. The higher the value, the more you can stretch out the spring where the energy of that spring is the extent to which you can stretch it or compress. So, in this, we can think of the connections as standing waves, and eigenvalues are how far you can compress or stretch those waves that connect people psychically. That means people are oscillating or vibrating. Algebraically, that would also be what we would call a characteristic polynomial.

While we can think of these connections as lines, it’s more accurate to think of them as vibrating, pulsing waves where the energy of the system relates to the eigenvalues. This, of course, means we can model these psychic networks using partial differential equations and wave equations. The analog to the temporal components would be orientations and integrals of experience. Angry people, for example, are vibrating at the frequency of anger, so their energy is characterized by anger. Consequently, they can antagonize others because of their anger and, in turn, provoke similar emotions in others. It seems that many occultists vibrate at literally insane frequencies, thereby spreading a wave of insanity. A wave is a propagation of an oscillation that pushes something out of equilibrium. Occult psychic networks, that occultists are connected to by communities and cultures, emanate waves of insanity that spread memetically or through psychic contact like a contagion.

I don’t think the members of occult cults are actively using the antisocial and insane energy they are storing; instead, I think it is a consequence of cultural and psychosocial factors. I think they become magically realized as an analog to kinetic energy when a psychic magician interacts with that system. The psychic ability of the magician acts as a catalyst; however, since intentionality is the magician’s mind using itself to create a representation of that system, it instantiates a type of image or representation. Since the potential energy comes from, well, insanity, there is an entropic and chaotic backlash on the magician that warps their mind. I think the insanity within occult cults and cultures manifests physically through how they socially interact with each other and their physical behaviors.

In addition, one of the reasons why people have a hard time realizing that I am a sorcerer is that, well, I am normal looking. When people read this without seeing a picture of me, their mind conjures up all sorts of odd ideas of what I must be like. A married, queer, suburban black person living in Atlanta is usually not what they think of so much so that many schizophrenic people have created these odd delusional narratives about me. I am that person next door who wears business casual clothing most of the time or basic jeans and a tank top. I don’t wear occult symbols, and I am not edgy. I don’t give off a witchy vibe. I like that suburban person next door vibe, so I am rejecting the image of the sorcerer that wears cloaks, robes, etc.

Furthermore, I think I am going to base magical patterns and templates that I create on how I intuitively recognize magic. If I am watching a film or reading a book, does this feel magical? The first step is to drop the lexicon, which is why I am not using occult terms.

Many people ask if I have such a bad attitude about occultism, why am I involved in it. The short answer is my mom’s a witch, albeit a cunning woman would be a more apt description of her, that lived in denial of her magic and that cost her her sanity and her relationship with her child – me. My maternal great-grandfather, my mother’s grandfather, is white and Irish. Specifically, we are descended from Irish Travelers. That’s where the psychic abilities I inherited from my maternal side come from, albeit I am culturally black. The past is the past and skeletons should be left buried, so I am in no hurry to look into that side of me. I am multiracial and multicultural; however, I choose to identify as a black person with one reason being that is how society treats me. The archetype of the witch is not a specific cultural instance; instead, it is more of a broad anthropological classification. The south is filled with many black witches who don’t even know they are witches. My marriage to an animistic indigenous man and where our cultures intersect make me question the separation between shaman, wizard, and witch, but that touches on intimate topics.

To me, magic is a transformative act that illuminates things. Beyond the influence, it reveals things about our society in the very aesthetic elements of the artistic medium itself. I think magicians need to move past occult systems. They’re poisonous.

You know, I give mentally ill people a lot of grace; however, that grace ends when you are aware that what you are doing is immoral. Empirically, immoral behavior is associated with antisocial behavior and behavior where you benefit at someone else’s expense. Antisocial behavior is not introversion. Can I be antisocial? Yes, I can be. I am not a saint. I am often a devil; however, I make no excuse for it, and I try to isolate myself away from negative influences.

The issue I have with many DKMU members is they have effectively given up trying to improve as people. They have decided. I’m not going to name any names, but I saw a DKMU member on Bluesky try to rationalize their parasocial and antagonistic behavior by calling themselves a goblin and then naming it gleeful screeching. They were rationalizing their mentally ill behavior and doubling down instead of regulating themselves or asking for psychiatric intervention. I have seen this person try to form a parasocial relationship with a crow, so they are deeply ill. If you know, you know. She’s aware that what she is doing is wrong; however, she has decided to do the wrong thing, anyway, and she is rationalizing her bad behavior.

Karma is just a metaphysical abstraction of cause and effect, i.e., consequences. There are, and have been, consequences to her behavior that this person is feeling on a medical level; however, they still, of their own free will, choose to do the wrong, unhealthy things knowingly.

She, and a lot of members of DKMU, have given up living. They have given up progressing. They’ve decided to live in a miserable, nihilistic, antagonistic space. That is the last I will speak on this person because I find them to be very sad. It is deeply depressing watching them destroy themselves because they have given up living.

You’d be surprised at the number of people who lose their shit because I’m a solitary practitioner and am not a member of any movement, group, organization, or online culture. I like practicing magic how I want, and I am under no obligation to exhibit my magic for the approval of others. They really do find it offensive that I don’t commit to their groups or at least seek their approval or validation. Insane. Just insane. There’s no particular reason other than I like being autonomous, and I am not a fan of rules. If the rules are superfluous, irrational, or arbitrary, and the people arbitrating those rules lack integrity by not enforcing them fairly, I’ll disregard them. That, of course, means I disregard like 99% of the rules on the Internet because what online platform has any integrity?

I think it short-circuits their gatekeeping. From my perspective, magic is an art that emerges from consciousness and the potential of our consciousness, so people are being magical passively by being conscious and having experiences. You can’t gatekeep a person from their existence. All of us have a subjective experience and internal narrative, and that narrative is magical. There’s no particular reason to use or submit yourself to a system or group that you disagree with. Actually, it will backfire because it will create dissonance between your conscious and subconscious mind, where that internal discord will mitigate what you are trying to do. Magic works best when it comes from a place of meaning, and we, as individuals, determine for ourselves what has meaning. I literally piss people off by just having a magical existence that isn’t committed to any particular culture, group, order, movement, etc. Ironically, those adjacent to Discordianism and Chaos Magick are the ones with the biggest issues with people being autonomous. Authoritarianism runs deep with those people. They develop these elaborate systems of vibe checks, interrogations (that’s what they call them), and vouches.

Because it needs to be said again:

Psychosis is not gnosis. Taking LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, salvia, or even alcohol and reinforcing those states with fictional, mythological narratives through ceremonial magic can cause a psychotic break. You are not magical. You are not enlightened. You have broken your brain. Psychosis has degenerative effects on your brain, so you are altering your brain in irreversible ways. I know this from experience.

My step-grandmother worked herself into such a drug-induced state of psychosis that, as a senior, she has to be heavily sedated, causing her to gain weight and become massively overweight, with her mind numb. That’s a whole other saga, but my step-grandmother held religious and esoteric beliefs, subscribing to conspiracy theories, and was a heavy drug user in her teens and young adult years, although she has been sober for almost 30 years. It permanently messed her up. We know she isn’t taking her meds when she is sharper; unfortunately, that means she is psychotic. We found out she needed to be heavily medicated when she attacked a police officer in my junior year of high school.

Again, you are not doing magic when you take drugs, force yourself to believe in things that are not real, and purposefully incubate a delusion, reinforcing this with ostension and pantomime via ceremonial magic and ritual. You are driving yourself insane and giving yourself brain damage that you will have to deal with as you get older. Once again, I am seeing the marauder and the extremely online occulture crowd drive themselves into a psychotic break because they believe that’s how you do magic.

Here’s what people need to remember: The conventional, modern definition of magic is that magic is changing reality in accordance with will. While I deeply abhor and despise Aleister Crowley and Thelema, I like that definition because it converges on the definition of art. It’s more of an affirmation of magic as an art that fits nicely with pragmatic theories of aesethics. Conventionally, art is the deliberate and willful manipulation of elements, channels, and mediums, so the modern definition meets the definition of art.

Personally, my style of magic and overall praxis has been influenced by things like “Art as an Experience.” From my perspective, magic is art, and art is a refined and heightened experience where the artist and the audience co-create an experience, thus initiating a magical operation. Essentially, there is no significant difference between a ceremonial magician and an actor playing out my favorite scenes in The Vampire Diaries universe. Crowley’s definition is merely a means to make the connection between art and magic more deliberate, although, counter-intuitively, he was trying to create a demarcation between stage and theatrical magic and ceremonial magic. Words cannot express how much that man repulses me. He was essentially a perverse and deviant sexual predator.

While I am not a chaote, post-modern art and surrealism are my favorite forms of art, so there is an intersection in some metaphysical points. It’s probably why I dislike modern and Solomonic magic so much. While we were in college, my husband was an extra in a lot of different supernatural dramas. We weren’t dating at that time. I had planned to put him in the friend zone. My roommate, who was supposed to pick me up from work that day, decided to throw a gay orgy instead, where I was picking up used condoms on the floor. I could not say anything to said roommate because we went to bathhouses together, so it would have been largely hypocritical. My now-husband took me to one of his shows in the city to get my mind off of that. He did that because he knows my temper is awful, and he knew I was plotting petty payback. I got to see my now husband work, and that was when I started to fall for him. I won’t go into any details because insane occultists have an issue of forming parasocial relationships, but let’s say that watching his performance is when I started to take interest in him.

What is art? A rock I found outside becomes art when I think it has an aesthetic quality, say it is art, pick it up, and exhibit it through displaying it as photography on my social media. So my appreciation and deliberate interaction with it as art is what makes it art. So, there is a link between modern definitions of magic and pragmatic ideas of art via intention and will. Magical potency is predicated on will. Compulsion, obsession, and addiction are the inability to willfully and deliberately control oneself, so they are inversely related to will. That means drug addiction, obsessions, and paranoia that emerge from mental illness, and psychosis cancel out your ability to do magic.

Magic isn’t psychosis. Gnosis is not psychosis.

Honestly, the attitude within occultism is maddening to me. There’s an acknowledgment that Jung, Crowley, Blavatsky, etc. are all horrible people. You don’t have to convince them that they are awful and racists. We all know. However, most occultists can’t be bothered to come up with anything better, so their response is to use broken systems that do not work and tell people to separate the art from the artists and to normalize the evil, immoral behavior of occult authors because, well, they like the status quo.

There’s always been this assumption with sigils and seals in occultism that they are allegories; astrology should be treated as a pattern that isn’t necessarily literal. If magic shifts probabilities, then that means that magic creates topological defects and breaks symmetries, which means that it has an empirical connection to crystallization. And when we are looking at ontological and mathematical models that strongly model crystallization and symmetry, we find tiling and tessellation. I’m experimenting with tessellation, symmetry, magic, and psychic abilities. Honestly, I am through with the culture and aesthetics of occultism, so I am not using anything that resembles occult sigils or even calling mnemonic symbols or any kind of symbol a sigil anymore. Occultism, as a whole, gives me the ick. Occult systems make me feel so dirty that I feel like I need a bath.

Liminal space is a buzzword that you hear a lot. A liminal space is something like a hallway or the threshold of a door. We can also think of liminal spaces as portals and topological defects, which is an accurate analogy for the symmetry-breaking that magic causes in physical systems. I am thinking of symbols that are more accurate of a topological defect, such as a phase transition. Because of meta-stability, liquid crystals are sensitive to psychic influence and exhibit topological defects via phase transition, so models and symbols based on liquid crystals are realistic for phase transitions that liminal spaces imply.

A physical example of a topological defect is liquid crystals. I like playing around with crystallization and psychic and magical acts because it provides an empirical case. Probabilities are not abstract. Whenever you influence probabilities, you are manipulating where something is going and how fast it is moving, or you are defining where it is. If you are dealing with a system, you are coordinating how fast things are, where they are going, and where they are at for multiple parts of that system. You are shifting statistical mechanical properties of a solution. The shape and structure of a crystal are tied to the probability of that crystal structure emerging, so shifting probabilities shifts the shape of the crystal that we expect to get, which we can experimentally test and measure. Boltzmann distribution, a fundamental concept in statistical mechanics, describes the probability of a molecule occupying a certain energy state. In the context of a crystal lattice, different molecular arrangements correspond to different energy states and when you shift probabilities, you shift where that favorable energy state is likely to be.

An exercise that I did a long, long time ago is that I constructed a class, to act as an archetype, and properties of that class were a data structure imported from an actual social network from Twitter that matched the parameters of the properties of that class. That was before Twitter became X. I would not dare use anything from that domain of the noetic sphere now. I used Gephi for this. I used the Force Atlas 2 layout in Gephi to simulate attraction and repulsion forces via a Barnes–Hut algorithm. The algorithm uses an adaptive cooling strategy similar to annealing. This gave me a network that was also a crystal. I then dissolved a solute into a solution and grew a crystal where my intent was to link to the psychic form of that pattern, project the simulated crystal onto the growing crystal, and measure the structure of the crystal. That exercise created a magical, symbolic construct that was not only realistic but also empirically valid. I am thinking about using tessellation, tiling, and symmetry to denote magical systems instead of employing anything that resembles occult symbols.

Liminal space is a buzzword that you hear a lot. A liminal space is something like a hallway or the threshold of a door. We can also think of liminal spaces as portals and topological defects, which is an accurate analogy for the symmetry-breaking that magic causes in physical systems. I am thinking of symbols that are more accurate of a topological defect, such as a phase transition. Because of meta-stability, liquid crystals are sensitive to psychic influence and exhibit topological defects via phase transition, so models and symbols based on liquid crystals are realistic for phase transitions that liminal spaces imply.

A physical example of a topological defect is liquid crystals. I like playing around with crystallization and psychic and magical acts because it provides an empirical case. Probabilities are not abstract. Whenever you influence probabilities, you are manipulating where something is going and how fast it is moving, or you are defining where it is. If you are dealing with a system, you are coordinating how fast things are, where they are going, and where they are at for multiple parts of that system. You are shifting statistical mechanical properties of a solution. The shape and structure of a crystal are tied to the probability of that crystal structure emerging, so shifting probabilities shifts the shape of the crystal that we expect to get, which we can experimentally test and measure. Boltzmann distribution, a fundamental concept in statistical mechanics, describes the probability of a molecule occupying a certain energy state. In the context of a crystal lattice, different molecular arrangements correspond to different energy states and when you shift probabilities, you shift where that favorable energy state is likely to be.

An exercise that I did a long, long time ago is that I constructed a class, to act as an archetype, and properties of that class were a data structure imported from an actual social network from Twitter that matched the parameters of the properties of that class. That was before Twitter became X. I would not dare use anything from that domain of the noetic sphere now. I used Gephi for this. I used the Force Atlas 2 layout in Gephi to simulate attraction and repulsion forces via a Barnes–Hut algorithm. The algorithm uses an adaptive cooling strategy similar to annealing. This gave me a network that was also a crystal. I then dissolved a solute into a solution and grew a crystal where my intent was to link to the psychic form of that pattern, project the simulated crystal onto the growing crystal, and measure the structure of the crystal. That exercise created a magical, symbolic construct that was not only realistic but also empirically valid. I am thinking about using tessellation, tiling, and symmetry to denote magical systems instead of employing anything that resembles occult symbols.

I’m Satanic myself. Satan is not synonymous with Lucifer; it means adversarial. Critical thinking, cross-examination between the defense and prosecution, both sides of a debate, and peer review are examples of adversarial paradigms. So, I associate Satanism with critical thinking and education, which is anathema to indoctrination. I am especially disappointed when I see Satanists participating in cults because it is antithetical to Satan as an adversary.

In my personal interpretation, I see many demons as being secular and bringing forth scientific knowledge, which is in opposition to the Christian faith’s edict that secular things are evil. An adversarial paradigm is critical, educated, skeptical, and cross-examines things. Obedience without thinking is a Christian concept, so I am always disappointed when I see that show up in Satanism. While I can be edgy if I am angered, I prefer the aesthetic of being your typical person living in a suburb that happens to be performing Satanic rituals in their garage. Being part of a cult is not very Satanic; I would say it is more reminiscent of Christian practices.

My last few interactions with unhinged, radicalized occultists on Discord this week have made me decide to drop the aesthetics associated with occultism. That means no longer using words associated with occultism such as sigils, god forms, egregores, etc. I have decided to use more abstract and metaphysically conventional terms. For example, instead of saying ‘egregores,’ I can use the abstract word ‘entity’ within the context of how corporations and business subsidiaries are discussed in legal contexts. Instead of using the word ‘sigil,’ I can use the word ‘symbol’ or a specific type of symbol that points to a concept. Talismans are a type of token in the same sense as coins and money are tokens, so instead of using the word ‘talisman,’ I can use the word ‘token.’ The more and more unhinged cultish behavior I see from occultists, the less I want to be associated with them or the artistic patterns that they use.

I am black, queer, and married to an indigenous person. My ancestors were brought here in chains, and colonizers are colonizing land that belongs to my husband’s people and my people in Africa. Today in a Chaos Magick Discord, I was called a colonizer for using the correct term ‘ostension’ and saying that Grant Morrison is a terrible writer and magician. The leftist anarchists who routinely level that accusation at me are trying to show how anti-white they are…by being pro-white.

Many times, I do not have my face on my profile, and they have never met me before, so they would not know I was black. However, they make the default assumption that I am white, so they are tacitly implying that whiteness in a space is the default, which is a racist sentiment. And then, in denying that I am black, they are tacitly trying to erase my black presence from that space.

Essentially, white people have culturally appropriated the phrase ‘BLM’ to denote a collection of politics predicated on class warfare among white people instead of genuine concern with racial equality—just like they did with the word ‘woke.’ It strikes me as the ‘nice bigot’—like the ‘nice guy’—who thinks they are better because they are erasing us online and not actually murdering us like police officers. I realized a long time ago that leftist anarchists who are white are only interested in racial dynamics so long as it furthers their interests in class warfare. Black queer people, like myself, are props. Symbols. They don’t appreciate our existence as real people. We are an idea to them.

When I went through the post history of this person on that Discord server, I found posts about them claiming to have hexed people to death and them not feeling guilty about it because they had it coming, essentially, along with them complaining about being treated unfairly in life.

Here’s the thing about the type of personalities that talk all the time about malicious workings, such as a member named SororFishsticks that is part of DKMU: It comes from a place of powerlessness. For whatever reason, many of these people feel powerless and that whatever misfortune they are experiencing is not because of them. That’s also a trait of narcissists, I might add. Growing up with a narcissistic mother, I would know.

There’s a connection between intrusive thoughts, obsession, compulsion, ritual, and excessive rumination. Ritualistic behavior is something people with intrusive thoughts do to bring relief. A magical ritual is a type of ritualistic behavior, so I interpret malicious magical rituals as an attempt to bring relief from intrusive thoughts about harming people. That right there is the problem. When does it stop being psychodrama and when do these people reach for the knives and guns?

Here’s the thing about how magic works. It takes the path of least change or least resistance, and it is chaotic. Say that there are tracks on a hill that are of various depths. Think of a ball sitting on top of a hill. It takes a little bit of energy to push it down that hill. The different tracks in different orientations and lengths and paths on that hill are paths where that ball can go. What plays a role in the track and path the ball follows down the hill is the initial position of where it is pushed from at the top of the hill. We can think of the ball as the event we want to happen where rolling down a hill is the translation of time and the displacement of things in time. Magic would pick the paths of least action, change, resistance, and energy by shifting initial conditions, which would be the initial place the ball is pushed from at the top. The sensitivity to initial conditions is what makes magic chaotic and dynamical. It’s a Lorentz attractor, i.e., the butterfly effect essentially.

I am pointing this out because magic to bring good fortune would create an initial situation where you find yourself in a job that you did not get laid off from because it takes more action and change to get you rehired after you lost a job. If their magic worked, they would not be in a situation where they would need to use it for vengeance because their magic would have set up initial conditions such that they would not be in that situation to begin with. This scene with Domino in Dead Pool is a great cinematic illustration of it:

Domino (4K) Luck IS A SuperPower

In most cases, these people are injustice collectors and are maliciously reacting to an injustice they feel like they’ve suffered. This is the profile of a mass shooter, mind you. So, I do not think that these people’s curses and hexes do anything; instead, it is evidence that they fit the profile of a future perpetrator of mass violence. I am tired of wondering if the occultists that I am talking to will be on the news for some act of terror.

I’ve been keeping tabs on the workings DKMU is doing. It seems like a lot of them are performing rituals for their godform, Trigag.

I am real; however, a person’s perception of me, the model of me they have created in their heads, and the symbolic representations of me they have created are extensions of their mind. It is an instance of their mind using itself to represent me in their minds. The image of me is separate from me as a real person independent of their minds. I view invocations and evocations in the same way. Whether these entities have their own independent identity or not, I do not think magicians are working with. If a person were to have a dream with psychoanalytical significance and I was a character in that dream, it is not actually me. It is their mind using itself to represent me to represent something. It’s a symbolic masquerade.

I honestly don’t even think members of DKMU are working directly with their godforms. How can you tell when you are connected to a system? You can tell you are connected to a system when there is a potential for influence. Locality and causality are ontologically interchangeable, so degrees of causal influence are empirical cases for connectivity. People connected to a psychic network can empirically test if they are connected through the same type of experiments to test for telepathy. Say there is an egregore or godform that teaches and knows something you do not and cannot do. Say it can write music. An empirical test would be if, after the invocation, you suddenly tacitly and intuitively know how to do something.

Occam’s Razor says that the simplest explanation is that their mind is instantiating their own internal version of these entities, which is their mind using itself to represent a state of affairs. The evocation is actually an invocation where they are not working with a manifestation of a psychic network, i.e., an egregore. They are having a conversation with themselves masquerading as that egregore or godform. I don’t even think the members of DKMU are interacting with their system of egregores.

Their rituals seem to be a perverse parody of ceremonial magic. I think all of it is contrived anyway, so I am not complaining about the lack of orthodoxy. The lack of originality that makes this mediocre is the issue. The sigils and the seals look and feel like what you see with ceremonial magic, though; it is completely contrived. The form is ripped off, and it is completely lacking in originality.

I just saw someone in the Discord for r/occult reference very old Retro PK experiments. I am very annoyed with people abandoning their skepticism. Objectivity and empiricism tend to get conflated, and they are correlated with each other; however, they are not one and the same. Empiricism is knowledge that you have experienced for yourself, whereas anecdotal is a story you heard. If you were to ask me why I believe in the paranormal stuff that I do, my response would be because of the experiences I have had. When I tried to disprove that it was paranormal, my alternative hypothesis that it was not paranormal did not hold up, and its being paranormal was supported.

Spontaneous paranormal experience is what caused me to seek things out and research things, so my experiences came before someone telling me that magic and psychic stuff are real. Because the peer-review and science journal process haven’t been unscathed by corruption and the insidious reach of capitalism, I do not just accept something because it has gone through the peer review process. I look at the number of times it has been cited by other articles and the reputability of the work that cited it; I look at the impact, I look at the credibility and integrity of the editorial board, I look at the journal’s ranking score. Because of the nature of paranormal subjects, all conventional metrics that journals use are in the toilet. That is why you attempt to replicate what they did. You do the science yourself, and you see if you get your own data.

My cohort of millennial occultists frustrate me. There is a difference in cohorts when it comes to magic. Gen X is more conventionally modern and postmodern, whereas millennials were strongly encouraged by high strangeness, mesmerism, theosophy, new age ideas, energy work, and parapsychology. For example, I’m part of a cohort of psions; though, I no longer practice psionics. The realization that it was built from Dungeons and Dragons role-playing kind of freaks me out and depresses me. Energy is just an abstraction of change, and power connotes the ability to get something to change as a consequence of; therefore, energy working paradigms connote an interest in power. Unlike Gen X, for example, that is more concerned with a normative paradigm, which is part of the reason why many of them are so interested in politics, millennials had a particular interest in power without the authority. There was a particular contempt for esoteric orders we had – that I still have, which is why I said we wanted power without authority.

Modern magic is more or less ontological, unfalsifiable, not testable, and concerned with spirituality and how people should live their lives. Whereas science aims to describe and predict, spirituality is more about giving people a framework for making decisions, what they should do, and how they should live their lives. Normative expressions are ontologically disjointed from reality in that they describe how things should be but do not aim to describe how they are. For example, people should not be fascists; however, the reality is that fascists exist, though, I assert they should not exist. Instead of being inductive and epistemological like science, that form of occultism is metaphysical like Math. Instead of supporting and revising itself, the ontological entities accumulate. There’s a collection of occult texts, for example, that are canon.

Honestly, some days I feel bitter because having the experiences I have had robbed me of my ability to deny the existence of the paranormal and live a normal life. My life is just as messed up as a person without psychic abilities who does not practice magic. Magicians and psychics are not special. In fact, our sensitivity to psychic and magical forces makes us more susceptible to self-destruction, obsession, addiction. I think people have this misconception that magicians and psychics. Technically, magic is more art than science, so magicians are really just artists that use magic through different crafts and mediums. We are just as fucked up as any other artists and just as tragic. We don’t practice magic because we want to; instead, a series of events lead us down this path regardless of our wishes or wants. I find it ironic. The illusion of magic is that of power and the ability to control things and express your agency; however, being born the way I was into this deep ocean of weirdness was beyond my control. I did not have a choice, and that makes me resentful.

My cohort of the paranormal demographic frustrates me because we are approaching our 40s. Many of us, myself included, have been doing this for over 20 years. We have passed the book club and student phase, yet many of us still approach these subjects from the paradigm we developed while in middle and high school. The trope of the magical school, whether that be high school or a university, is still prevalent with my cohort. We are past the age of even being in college. My student loan debt alone tells me that. I’m zeroing in on my cohort because we were the ones especially skeptical. Replication is part of the peer-review process. The research I see people I knew from 15 years ago spreading is literally over 20 years old. Not only have the parapsychology researchers done better, more relevant work, claiming that one has magical powers, psychic powers, psychokinesis, etc., is an extraordinary claim. How does one test the claim? You do the science yourself. At this point, all of us should have a nice lab journal filled with a lot of our results. There is no reference to any data. It is just a bunch of models, diffuse articles with a tenuous connection to whatever it is that they are claiming, and no attempt, at all, to replicate the experiments they are citing.

We call Hard Science Fiction a genre of fiction because while it is grounded in science, it is grounded in speculation. On the other hand, Fantasy in a Science Fiction setting, like Warhammer 40K, is fiction because it is counterfactual; i.e., subjunctive conditionals. We can think of things we extrapolate that do not have measurable instances as conjectural, at best. That means that occultists that do not take the time to fill their models and paradigms with data are, essentially, writing fiction and ostentate fiction – they are LARPing. Ontologically and epistemologically, there is no difference between most of what I see alone about occultism and magic and genres of fiction, such as magical realism. Magical realism is more interesting and novel.

A thing that I struggle with, personally, is being self-centered, giving people grace, and forgiveness. Magical practices can be a great exercises to practice grace, good will, and forgiveness. Prayers, especially Christian prayers, are invocations. Specifically, Christian prayers are invocations via using the Holy Spirit as a mediator of sorts. If not invocations, many prayers are evocations in that you are communicating with another entity for some goal. Many incantations in magic converge with or denote prayers.

There has been this tendency within occultism to use magic for self-centered, vengeful, and vindictive ends. Ironically, many of those people believe in advocating for people; however, their altruism isn’t actually altruism in that they have standing i.e. they can be impacted by whoever or whatever they are advocating for; therefore, it is self-interested. I think online occult communities blew up because magic for things that you have standing for is self-interested, which creates an egocentric cycle that is at odds with good will within society. The easiest form of prayer to work is a cantrip or incantation such as, “I wish you well.” We hear people use words like, “Take care.” as farewells, but we use them as idioms and platitudes. With a bit of intent and concern, you can take “Take care” into a spell to protect them. What is important to the caster is the intention.

Whether there is a real effect or not is not the point. In expressing genuine good will for a person and saying a prayer for them or empowering statements of intention even if it is not an invocation or an invocation, you are shifting the focus from yourself to the other person. Again, grace is hard for me. I am petty and vindictive and malicious. When I am slighted, what goes through my mind is vengeance; however, in doing a magical work wishing that person well, even when they do not deserve it, I am practicing grace. I am trying to be like my husband, who I admire and I adore.

For anyone questioning what I am religiously, I am an atheist. I do not believe in gods. While I am open to the existence of interdimensional aliens, I am skeptical. Considering that some sort of human narrative, system, or consciousness is intrinsic to most supernatural events, I think that most manifestations of deities emerge from idolatry and religion. That does not mean religion and ritual are not useful.

I am so fucking tired of seeing sigils and seals that all look the fucking same. Austin Spare’s technique for turning a statement of your intention into a sigil/image and the alphabet of desire is fucking mediocre as hell. It is intended to create something that looks and feels like something from ceremonial magic. Give me something different, innovative, and inspiring, not a fucking another insipid sigil that looks like a billion other seals in a grimoire.

A reason why I decided to have a presence like this on the Fediverse, through a WordPress blog, is that I don’t like arbitrary community rules or guidelines. They are superfluous, and they exist merely to influence and control people through compliance. A lot of community guidelines and rules are morally negligible.

While current events put me in a nihilistic and cynical mood, evidence that I have about the teleological nature of psychic phenomena and magic are empirical cases against nihilism. Psychic phenomena order entropic and disordered states such that events are drawn to a point, i.e., an attractor, which causes what many magicians call synchronicity. Events that should be disordered and not related suddenly become ordered and correlated to take on the form of a message.

Magical and psychic forces order events, which insert information, contradicting the idea that nothing has meaning, since magic inserts information and manipulates histories. Succumbing to nihilism would be to embrace a delusion, considering the evidence I have.

A way to think about it is that when someone sees the future, there is a correlation between them and that future moment, where the correlation is not a translation in space-time. There is a discontinuity, so there is a singularity. There is a hole and an asymptote that, as you approach that hole, you approach infinity. The correlation between that future moment and its relative to the past, that is, the person getting a vision of the future, causes a retrocausal influence.

Say we were to record if someone throws a rock through a glass window and the window shatters. If you were to rewind that video, it would appear as if the shattered glass flew into the place with the pieces arranging so that they fit where they meet the rock at exactly the moment the shards flew back together. We intuitively know that time is moving backward in that video because we see coordination and symmetry. That is analogous to what happens with precognition, so evidence for precognition is empirical cases against nihilism.

Which is why nihilistic chaos magicians confuse the hell out of me, because teleology is a corollary of intentionality and a subjective characteristic of experience. When they reject objective reality, they say it emerges from consensus in a subjective space. That implies a teleological nature of belief, intentionality, and expectation as part of meaningful subjective experiences. The collective meaning people put into something constraints probabilities and future realities.

Notice that I said arbitrary and superfluous rules. I am not advocating immorality or amorality. What do I mean by morally negligible? Objective variables correlated with mortality are altruism and prosocial behavior, so the inverse is immoral antisocial behavior. We can summarize it as immoral behavior is behavior where a person gains at another’s expense.

Capitalism is literally built on benefiting from someone else’s expense, so you can say that if it is capitalistic, it is probably immoral. My husband constantly hears me rant to people regarding enshittification and monetization by saying that if it is built on capitalism, it is probably evil, and you are probably dealing with a bad person. Ironically, this includes many people involved in occulture and leftist anarchistic forms of occultism. Not only are they practicing in an immoral system, but they are also selling services and goods that do not work, so they are also defrauding people. Selling your art to people is not fraud. Selling mediocre art by telling people it has magical powers, can give them spiritual guidance, or can tell them the future when it cannot is what makes it fraudulent.

Here is the thing about rules and laws. They are normative. They are prescriptive instead of being positivistic. They are not about what something is; rather, they are about how things ought to be. In the context of people, they outline how people should behave, so normative expressions, i.e., rules that outline a culture and community’s norms, are prescriptive.

And prescriptive expressions are a tacit commitment to the type of future that the culture and community want to create. You put in place rules with punitive measures, such as shame, banning, suppression, censorship, etc., in order to create a future where people do not do those things. There are certain things we should aim to try to exterminate from the future, such as misogyny, fascism, Nazis, homophobia, transphobia, etc.; however, losing your shit because people do not put alt tags or CW on pictures or nudity is a bit much, as well as removing dissenting things.

While I am quick to call out people who present unsolicited arguments on other people’s replies, when there is an open invitation to a discussion and a person gives a dissenting view, that does not warrant removing or banning them. Honestly, I am used to this type of behavior. Occult cultures and communities are notorious for doing this. In my case, constraining myself to occult cultures and communities and internalizing and adhering to their cultural norms would have held me back, so I’ve always chosen to exist on the margins as a solitary practitioner.

The odd thing about DKMU’s initiatory wheel of entities, egregores, is that they understand it is contrived. The egregores are extensions of people’s minds. They are archetypes from the collective human consciousness. The linkingsigil just maps people’s minds to a place. They are adoring and worshipping themselves. It’s a bizarre form solipsism where they forget they are their own gods.

The thing about practical applications of magic and psychic phenomena is that they’re falsifiable. The existence of spirits isn’t. The existence of psychic phenomena makes it so that the belief in spirits can create effects attributed to spirits.

I think that many people involved with skeptical paradigms of psi, magic, and the paranormal have become obsessed with gods and spirits because they can’t disprove them. However, you can disprove if your magic to shift the odds worked and was due to chance or not, whether the object moved, whether you’re still sick, etc.

I think most people would face reality and tweak their beliefs accordingly, but they do not. I think these people are so obsessed with this stuff that they moved the goalposts from what could be scientifically studied and disproven to what can’t, which means it has no factual support, to avoid a mental and existential crisis. Essentially, they’re couching their beliefs in things you cannot disprove to avoid reality because it causes them to spin into a crisis.

I think what causes all of these once skeptical magicians to converge on animistic paradigms and idolatry is the realization that they have no real paranormal influence on events. They’ve turned to creating idols and running on pure delusion and faith to avoid facing reality. And there’s an evangelical slant to it. They then wish to communicate about these allegedly autonomous or intelligent entities, so they end up trying to recruit people into cults that center around idolatry.

Over the years, I’ve seen that wave of spiritual desperation completely destroy occult and paranormal spaces devoted to skepticism and rigor. Scientific paradigms are inherently adversarial and skeptical. You support your hypotheses and theories by you and your peers trying to disprove them.

It’s horrifying watching them get sicker and sicker. I think what’s driving this is the realization that what they wanted and what they spent their whole lives chasing isn’t real.

The main problem I have with these people is that they constantly crave external validation, and they only get that validation if others share the same beliefs and culture. So, they’re constantly trying to recruit or antagonize you in every interaction. They have the tendency of trying to change whatever space they’re in if it’s intolerable to them, and if people refuse to conform to their beliefs, they project and call that person insufferable.

For example, there are atheists who believe in materialism and don’t believe in the paranormal in a space. Instead of speaking to people who share their beliefs and leaving the atheists alone, they will obsessively try to coerce or persuade the atheists. When that does not work, they default to harassment and antagonism. I think what’s under that is the loss of control. By believing in the paranormal stuff that they did and seeing it debunked, they are forced to admit they don’t have control, so they spin narratives that align with the chosen trope. It’s sad.
