Commencement of EST Magicians

Since you guys are being all magical over here … and I realize this has nothing directly to do with what you’re doing … but to help get passed the impending digital death of magic, you really should give a listen to the Weird Studies podcast on Crowley and Magick.

It is one of the sanest and clearest discussions of “magic” (even though Crowley is the starting point … as distasteful as that can be to some, he did bring the topic back into (almost) mainstream consciousness, at least for a while, but revisiting his thoughts in addition to the more down-to-earth reception of John Ford and JF Martell can be very helpful in getting a firmer grasp on what Gebser was most likely referring to as the “efficient Magic structure of consciousness”.

I haven’t (yet) been able to watch the video, but from looking at the maps that have been posted, it looks like there is a lot of overlap between what you guys were exploring and what Ford & Martell were chatting about.
