Magick, myth and change

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

Continuing on from yesterday’s post, Deo challenges the models of magick, and the very value of magick itself:
[...] I believe there is a single kind of argument that can target all of the models. It works like this (and this is basically just a more careful exegesis of the thought process underlying my sloppy essay, [...]

Magick and meaning

Friday, April 25th, 2008

In reply to What do we mean by “magick”?, Deo asks a number of important questions:
