Strategy question...

I've charged communities with the greatest
intensity I know how, as peacefully as I can
be and still be effective

I've got some folks talking about me, most
saying I'm lacking clarity

I'm recreating the sculpture in Chapter 1 of Poker Without Cards

One of Kevin Wilke's students from 10-in-90 is one of the 3 finalists for
the grand prize, which includes among other things, a 1-hour consultation
with Tellman Knudson.

Kind of exciting,

Yes?

This is real world branding.

This is a bold approach to marketing
that many people don't like to talk
about.

I take stuff very seriously and have fun at the same time. You are already in the play. You just get big raises when you write your own part...

Narrative Magick
By Fenris23, Published June 30, 2006

Chaos magick is largely a matter of misdirection but the person you are deceiving is your conscious mind. This is somewhat like encrypting the signal so your deep mind gets it without the snooping consciousness getting in the way. Fiction offers many places to encipher information or intent. This however is a very limited view of what narrative magick can be. It is better to see it as an analogy. Life is fiction, your history, your self and society. These are all stories.

A story is a structure overlain on the chaos of fragmentary events. Even though the passage of time seems linear we apportion meaning associationally.

Once we see the similarity between narrative and life we have the opportunity for some "primitive" sorcery. The text is the voodoo doll for the happening. This sorcery can be utterly primitive and as advanced as space flight at the same time. You can manipulate text many more ways than a doll ever could be.

The text is always fiction, especially if someone takes it as true. The event is one thing the writing a second event. They are only connected because our nervous system mistakes one for the other.

If you are a reporter you write a tale meant to be a picture of the event. People take your text to be what happened. Write a tale of an event that never happened or write a tale that distorts what happened. As far as anyone who wasn’t there is concerned you have just changed what happened. Even people who were there can remember it differently after your story. However, before you can do this you need to write a large number of tales as a reporter. A reporter is just someone who writes in a certain way.

Editing is the main event. Writing just generates words like life generates memories. Editing is the sorcery that gives it form and meaning.

Life is not a static thing but a text is. The magick is not in the text any more than life is in a corpse. The text is what is left when you have fallen out of love. Love is the magick is the process. That is both the writing and the editing. As long as the writer is still playing with the material the relationship still exists. When it is done the product is quite appropriate to sell, as the product is not the magick.

An unpublished author may well be the better mage because he (gender assumptions!) hasn’t killed his lover to make some money. Put another way the published writer has only made one spell, a money spell that required the sacrifice of the mage’s child. Of course there is no conflict between being published and being a mage, as long as only some spells are cast for money.
