This month I'm going to release a newsletter called "The Beginning: On the Currents of Magick" that will include an excerpt from the book I'm writing (which, until now I haven't really talked about publicly).

I aim to discuss what it is that underlies magick, avoiding the typical physics metaphors and getting more to the root of the metaphysical structure underlying the world (or universe if we'd like to use broader language) that lends to the existence of magick. Because, you see, there is a reason that we are capable of the kind of influence we are capable of, and we can couch it in terms of quantum entanglement and atomic vibration and things and that's all valid but more than reducing the spiritual reality of our world into the language of a discipline which relies on cold materialism to offer its answers, we need myth that we can use to ground ourselves in Practice. This is what I've been alluding to each time I discuss Context, and so here will be the beginning of the weaving of such myth: one that is so much older than my capacity for verbalizing it, but which I am being called to put down in a way which we can connect ourselves to nevertheless.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1944, visionary filmmaker #GeorgeLucas was born. Many who've tried to write in his universe since have failed to grasp its basis in #JosephCampbell's take on #myth and its lessons for us. #StarWars isn't #scifi; it's epic #fantasy.
