Magic Purple, the reveal
Until now, I have only explored Magic Blue and Magic Black. Purple is the final type of Magic, in a literal sense. Let’s dive in.
This post assumes Codex fluency. If not fluent, read my blog and the SHC thoughts. It’s quite simple once you get it (much simpler than Mandarin or French).
🌀 What is Magic Purple?
I don’t think there is a good word to describe it in English. (Maybe other languages do, idk). If Blue syncs with Time, and Black freezes Time, then Purple steps outside of Time.
If Crystal Vision is the 11th Elemental, then Timeseeing is the 12th Elemental. Crystal Vision allows you to connect the patterns of the World in your mind. Timeseeing is an active state of interaction with the World at that ‘level’. You become shaper of greater patterns — you align. If this feels vague, then you got it — Magic Purple is vague. It is pure vagueness by its definition. It is not meant to be understood or analysed. It’s all Stardust.
💪 What can I do with Magic Purple?
Well, almost anything… Once you get it, everything can be made true. Sounds magical? It is. Magic Purple is magical.
This does not mean that you can physically fly and levitate. Nor can you cast invisibility spells. You should separate Harry Potter Magic from Codex Magic. Codex Magic is much cooler because it’s real and it works for everyone.
But you can fly in your mind. And you can do anything like Harry Potter. That imagination belongs to Purple.
Purple asks you to go beyond reality, beyond the impossible with one simple goal — make a new reality. Unlike latin-sounding Harry Potter spells, Purple needs all the other Elementals aligned (or like at least acknowledged and a bit balanced).
For example, let’s summon a train of thought:
I want to fly. -> Purple thought
Physically flying is deadly. -> Earth Coin (rational analysis; E6)
Birds fly and I can become bird. -> Air Current (Crystal Vision; E11)
*a few Earth Coin thoughts*
I can create a technology to fly. -> Beast (creative action; E5)
I can fly safely. -> Magic Purple sequence completed.
❔ So… It’s just dreaming? What an anti-climax.
Nope, Magic Purple is about more than dreaming. It’s about stepping outside of reality (dreaming) and actually reshaping it (inventing the new human flight tech). It can be easy to dismiss, but this Purple force can literally move mountains. People gladly die for Purple. Purple is dangerous.
Furthermore, true Codex alignment, feels Magic. Even to an experienced Timeseer. Like it does not ever stop unfolding more and more. It truly feels like all the stars always align even the darkest moments of Life. Shaping reality this way feels profoundly meaningful.
😂 Dangerous? Yeah, sure lol. Magic is fake.
Yes, sure. I really want to emphasise the danger of Purple — especially misunderstood Purple. I don’t like to spread fear vainly.
Through the lens of the Codex, one sees a different society. Purple is incredibly harshly repressed by the Crimson City. Religions dull Purple and reserve it for the few chosen ones. Maybe they know how dangerous a Purple City would be for their rule…
I question whether many — if not almost all — mental health disorders are due to misalignment and misunderstood Purple. Purple is the perfect escape for the broken Hearts and minds in this cold modern world. And if the escape is not conscious, Purple will force itself upon you anyway. You ‘go mad’.
The main damager of a healthy Purple balance is the fear that is spread in the Crimson City. The City makes you mad if you express Purple too much. Other than the City, the Crimson Church brands you as a heretic that goes to hell (that’s the home of sodomites, so sign me up ;)) Science is still busy understanding statistics and peer reviewing their evidence; more research is needed. Then, you have Youtube-conspirers that have creative ways of spreading Purple of all kinds, yet nothing aligned.
The only outlet that is allowed is art (thank the Gods we still have this). But even art has been made into a Crimson commodity. You NEED TO BE THE BEST at your art otherwise why bother? -> Crimson City thinking.
And even if we still encourage each other here on Tumblr, we still are pushed to outperform the neighbour. Art is rarely valued in its purest form — we are very quick to dissect it. But Purple is vague. Overanalysis of Purple is a form of madness.
⚠️ Okay I understand the danger of Purple.
Nope you probably don’t :). But it’s okay. Just watch these three alignments most:
The Beast (E5) is impulsive and leads to addiction with too much Purple. Dreams are confused with impulses.
The Ice Trap (E8) is crucial for Purple. If you are trapped in your own Trap, all you see is Ice and fear. This leads to paranoia and psychosis. A broken Stone Coin (E2) by abuse will lead to similar symptoms.
The Earth Coin (E6) is crucial if you don’t want to fall into conspiracy theories and end up believing Earth is flat. Ratio is needed for correct use of Purple. Don’t risk too much Stone for a passing dream.
Any rituals for Purple?
Yes, of course ;)
🍾 Making Artifacts
You can make Codex art and watch your creations come to Life. In the Codex, an artifact is something you make while consciously keeping the Codex in mind. For example, all my songs are artifacts because I consciously combine different Elementals. Together, the Elementals shape everything in the artificial product.
But even if you are ‘just making normal not-famous art’, you are expressing Purple in a healthy way (just a bit chaotic and more unorganised which is truly beautiful in a Purple way ;)
No, jokes and Codex flexes aside, MAKE ART! Don’t make good art — MAKE YOUR ART. Show me all those Purple things — the tears, the smiles, the heart beats, the erections, wetness, idgaf. Make me dream. I adore it all — and if not me, someone else will adore it. 🌊
💧 Droplet Manners
I have spoken of the Droplet archetype in the Codex (as parts of an altruistic Cloud) and in my songs. I see the Droplet state as something crucial to being human.
Dropets will come to discover humour and fun is something inherent to the Universe. Like World Tree is actually a fun entity. Droplets do not give a fuck about the Crimson City.
Explore your inner Droplet. If that means singing naked under a tree in the park for the bird you greet every morning — you should do it, Droplet. So what if people laugh? If it makes you feel good, just do it. Those are Droplet Manners.
The only thing a Droplet needs to watch is their Stone Coin (E2). If whatever World Tree whispers does not make you lose money, safety or basic resources, you should be Droplet. (Singing naked in a park is actually illegal, a serious loss of Stone, in many countries because … Crimson fears about children and pornography? Idk i stopped following Crimson logic).
Being a Droplet is hard; I challenge myself everyday to dissolve the fake fears Crimson culture and society place upon us. But I tame the shame, name the blame, etc.
🍁Make your own potions, witch
Nature has given us so much to enjoy. With drugs I do not mean anything synthetic (you can cross out a lot of synthetic drugs, most of them are Crimson bs). Some herbal substances can expand the mind in ways the mind cannot do by itself.
If you look past Crimson fears, you will find many plants contain molecular “messages” for our system. Plants don’t have mouths to talk, they use a much older system to communicate — molecules.
By carefully studying and experimenting with different plants, you can gain new insights through Purple. You can cross the boundaries of your cognitive reality.
Obviously, Purple is dangerous. Do herbal drugs only with prior knowledge, and a safe community around you. Do not use it as an escape. Any substance you abuse blindly (even water) will kill you in the end — keep the Earth Coin (E6) close.
Some plants are really mean — they tell us ‘death’. Do not eat the poisonous ones, obviously. Just putting it here.
