There’s a thing all occultists have in common, I think anyways.
Magick is enhanced by active imagination, to explore what could be.
Because, if you can’t imagine something, how can you cause it to be?
Modern humans are potentially more imaginative than say middle-ages people.
We have more mediums like film, and video, to help us visualize things that
previous generations only had art and literature. And then there’s roleplay.
I’m thinking Dungeons and Dragons. I was in on it’s very creation, back when
DnD was the variant of a military game system called Chainmail. DnD shaped
what I think magick is capable of, a framework. We all take it for granted now,
that we can just BE a magic user, in action, with other people, in real time.
THAT is magick, if you think about it. And out of that grew video games.
YES, I saw that too. Can you even imagine what the ancestors would think?
They’d say we’re all wizards, even those out there who never gave the spells
they hurl in a virtual world, a second thought. So, fam, want to see this Gnome
Illusionist Thief in action? Ah… the stories I could tell… let’s make some.
