Magic Memery

Because magic shouldn't be super serious all the time, and can and should be silly every now and then. No discourse, no tutorials, only shit posts. Sidebar and header from Pixabay Avatar image from Pixabay

Hello! This is Nox, and I’ll be collecting my more light-hearted sigils, along with other silly ones floating around Tumblr, in this blog.

While magic and occult topics can get heavy, and needs serious dedication and effort, I’m sure everyone here had encountered spells and glyphs used for hilarious reasons while studying. And to be frank, most books on the matter, and most magicians and occultists - including me - have a habit of taking ourselves way too seriously, so this would just be a reminder to have fun every now and then.

Currently focusing on: filling up a queue.

Demonic sigils used in medieval grimoires which set out the rules for the conjuration of spirits.

feynman diagrams used in quantum physics which set out the rules for magnetism

I once saw a fairly convincing argument that 'mediaeval sigils' were working on the same logic as 90s chaos magick brand fuckers who believed Advertising Is Real Magic. these are actual merchants marks used by real merchants:

the feynman diagrams look like management diagram charts, the same idiom that also went into UML

let me consult my spellbook (playsheet) and look at the diagrams (sigils) and cast my spells (call the plays)

As you all can see when I started to purchase $10 pocket knives at gas stations in late 2017 and continued to do so once a year every year the gap between my annual military expenditure and that of the U.S. quickly began to close.

Thank you for this simplified lesson in what propaganda looks like.

[play-now-my-lord]

Someone smarter than me has probably gone into the semiotics of it but this kind of non-graph -- whose primary purpose is to mystify readily available and perfectly readable information which suggests a conclusion disagreeable to the graphmaker -- it has to serve some function beyond simple lying. It has to reflect some kind of magical thinking, a belief in taking an inconvenient truth and physically overstriking it on printed paper as a form of curse. The reliability with which graphs like this appear on major news networks and prestige periodicals, where the audience includes the nation's most powerful businessmen and politicians, has to reflect some kind of ritual behavior. My money's on its use as propaganda itself being ritual behavior, a blunt assertion that the truth is whatever the powerful make of it. The availability to the public is not an accident and the clarification of how asinine it is by regime opponents seems to be part of the ritual

[cryptotheism]

The information is being deliberately obscured to A) partially encrypt the information from the average persons understanding, and B) reify the information to a more abstract yet politically specific sense of Importance.

Imo this fits the definition of Occult. This graph has been Occluded.

op turned off reblogs but i want this post on my blog

[zzoupz]

I know basically nothing about tarot cards but I absolutely need to make this a reality

An attempt was made at Occult humor.

In 1561 an innkeeper called Hew Draper was imprisoned in the Tower of London for sorcery. Whilst incarcerated he made these carvings in the walls which displayed astrological symbols and numbers.

#hew this is not helping you beat the sorcery charges

Or should I say.... firearchy??

Description: a parody of Maslow's hierarchy of needs titled Witchcraft Hierarchy of Needs in which all of the levels of the pyramid are just fire emoji, except for the top, which is a fire extinguisher.

What is the most unexpected thing you've found while reading an occult text?

Agrippa describing CPR and calling it necromancy

[normal-horoscopes]

The First Book of Occult Philosophy, Chapter 57:

"The prophet being thus favourable, layes a certain Hearb [herb] upon the mouth of the body of a young man being dead, and another upon his brest [breast], then turning towards the East, or rising of the propitious Sun, praying silently (a great assembly of people striving to see it) in the first place heaved up his brest [breast], then makes a beating in his veines, then his body to be filled with breath [mouth-to-mouth?], after which the Carkase ariseth, and the young man speaks."

[normal-horoscopes]

Tbh if I was a 16th century mercenary-come-theologician-come-occultist and I saw someone do CPR on a dude I'd be like "yeah that's necromancy"
