Episode notes

The definition of magic is the art and science of causing changes in consciousness in accordance with will. It's a broad enough definition to include clearly, you know, campaigns, political campaigns,. but also things like marketing and all different facets of how we try to persuade others to see the world the way we see. But it actually was come up with back in the 1920s by one of the great 20th century occult teachers and practitioners that was her working definition of magic.

In this episode John Michael Greer and I discuss his 'Kek Wars' article series on how the Chans used magick to influence the 2016 elections. We talk about political campaigns as magical performance, 4chan as the collective unconscious of the internet, the lefts failure to recognize a politics of existential crises, the myth of progress, and the antidote to cosmic indifference. 🐙 The Kek Wars Part 1: https://www.ecosophia.net/the-kek-wars-part-one-aristocracy-and-its-discontents/ Primer on Chaos Magick: https://ultraculture.org/blog/2015/11/13/psychonaut-field-manual/
