His main gripe about Promethea was that it rendered magic and the world of mystic symbolism in a way that was off-puttingly lofty and obscure - As though the Sephiroths of the Tree of Life were magical amusement parks that you get to visit when you 'get it', when in fact, spheres like Hod and Netzach were as simple as everyday experiences - That in having a conversation you are experiencing Hod, in scoring a goal in a 'football' game, you were experiencing Netzach.
He felt Moore's potrayal of the Kaballah undermined that, kept magic in the dark/inaccessible. |
