John Griogair Bell“Then along came Austin Spare, who identified the basic sleight of mind techniques underlying all forms of magic, and showed us that we could treat the whole baroque symbolism of magic as entirely optional. Spare invented the Postmodernist approach to magic well before the cultural advent of Existentialism or Postmodernism.”

Amaranthe arrasa, Visions conquista y Chaos Magic resiste: el tridente del metal moderno se toma el Cariola » Sonidos Ocultos
Por Pablo Rumel Fotos Rodrigo Damiani @SonidosOcultos Tres bandas, tres propuestas aparentemente incompatibles, y una audiencia que no sabía si enfrentaría un collage o una revelación. Entre ajustes sobre la marcha, teatralidad calculada y una avalancha de hooks, la noche fue resolviendo su propia incógnita… no sin dejar algunas preguntas incómodas en el aire. LA […]

The VHS Wizard 🦝📼🧙Taking off soon for the next leg of the trip, which will be 11 or 12 hours. Before i left i asked my daughter to roll the Chaos Dice for me and... No clue. I'm choosing to interpret the pink one as a cosmic space horror and not like an asteroid because i think the white one also looks like something falling on someone and that's... less good.

Frog - I think that's a frog anyway

BlueGearWyrmSocial Media and Drugs Have Completely Destroyed Their Brains
It has been a few hours since my latest interaction with my occult fan club that is moving from Twitter to Bluesky. No, it is not an actual fan club. It is a group of psychotic and obsessed drug addicts. If you know, you know.
I am still absolutely floored by how insane people on other social media sites are outside of the fediverse. Their relationship with algorithmically driven social media sites is at the point where I would call it a full-blown addiction. I honestly think it is because of the algorithms.
I am relatively sane, and I haven’t internalized a lot of these memetically propagated harmful behavioral patterns because I don’t look at algorithmically curated feeds at all, and I make sure to post my serious thoughts in places with a low potential for virality or where my thoughts cannot be interrupted.
This group keeps making impotent threats at me, to which I just laugh. The thing that I find really disturbing about it, however, is that they’re only doing it because it has worked in most other cases. Definitely not in this case, because I understand how both the law and the internet work better than they do. But the fact that they are trying it is what is disturbing. It is disturbing because it means that there exists a culture where you can coerce, threaten, extort, defame, and bully people so much that your brain thinks it is a reliable way to negotiate with people.
The funny thing is, they have not actually caused me harm; however, that group has caused others harm, and I know—independent of me—that those victims are seeking legal routes. Again, it has nothing to do with me. So, while they are impotently threatening me over shit they are making up, they aren’t covering their ass with other people they have actually harmed who have legal standing who have contacted the FBI. Again, I’m not involved in that. Just a little birdy told me.
