Trump as Tom riddle (Harry has found his first draft of art of the deal) and he's rearranging his name donald trump and it just comes out as a misspelling tromp etc

Tatain the Syrian had a cool concept of magic: The means of creation was the dynamis logike ("power expressed in words"). At first there proceeded from God the Logos who, generated in the beginning, was to produce the world by creating matter from which the whole creation sprang. Creation is penetrated by the pneuma hylikon, "world spirit," which is common to angels, stars, men, animals, and plants. This world spirit is lower than the divine pneuma, and becomes in man the psyche or "soul," so that on the material side and in his soul man does not differ essentially from the animals; though at the same time he is called to a peculiar union with the divine spirit, which raises him above the animals. This spirit is the image of God in man, and to it man's immortality is due.

I'll go too sincere for a moment and say that I don't really want a thread like this here because magic is largely unfounded bullshit and doesn't really belong in the left leaning politics forum. But I am also a little annoyed that a non-insignificant number of people in this thread seem to view magic as some weird scam perpeutated by bored white ladies when it does actually have a long history in working class and oppressed communities and those communities were subject to ostracizing and violence from the forces in power, often not even out of a concern for bullshit but for them not believing in the same bullshit as the majority. (This bread is magically turned into flesh when the magic man mutters a prayer, type stuff.)

I would be more sympathetic if this was the thread for discussing the dynamics of mysticism as support in working class communities versus its role in establishing and perpetuating systems of control, or some discussion of that nature. Instead it pretty quickly became 'universal magicks are real, disbelievers are colonialists!' which, you know, leads here.

You, an intellectual: Magic is basically positive psychology. Its speaking your intent into the world to find the energy to follow through. Its building up your confidence to affect change and focusing your willpower through the use of props, a shared sense of community, and the belief in a lineage to something greater than yourself Me, a 12th level wizard: No you idiot. Magic is writing your name on sex candles to trick that hot waitress into sleeping with me

i don’t feel that there is anything substantial here beyond practices warped and diminished to tchotchkes and novelties that serve cultural voyeurism and charlatans. magic is impossible when the natural world is so thoroughly destroyed and its human care takers were either eradicated or assimilated. the old ways are gone, and the few that practice them in this dying world aren’t posting here. this isn’t the place to respect them. get off the internet and go look at whatever wildlife and world is left near you if you want to see an echo of what once was. pick up some nearby garbage at the green belt. our legacy is one of ashes and the spirits no longer answer

Fundamentally, things like this are pinned down by community, culture, institutions, etc. It's like if we started ghost dancing, it'd be completely ripped out of its historical context and obviously yuppie or w/e

was thinking a lot recently about how we dont talk a lot anymore about distinct animating and intelligent spirits, when the idea crops up independently in a ton of disparate cultural contexts—e.g. ba/ka, hun/po, the lengthy christian discourse about spirit/soul as distinct

It's like praying. People draw the parallel between spells but it works out because it's part of a much larger set. Fake it till u make it.
