Novice magician with a question! I'm a couple of chapters into reading "Liber Null & Psychonaut" by Peter J. Carroll and have run across the concept of "kia", of which I was previously unfamiliar.

Is it pronounced "key-ah"? Like the automobile? If so, I can't find another definition of the word, so I am wondering: is the car named after the magical state of being???

The term Kia comes from the magical philosophy of Austin Osman Spare. See:
Austin Osman Spare: An introduction to his psycho-magical philosophy
and Exploring Spare's Magic and more at the excellent Fulgur website.

According to Spare, the less you talk about it, the closer you are to it. Analogous to the Tao, early translations of which were an influence on Spare. Maybe that's why she's a stripper - the removal of veils taking us closer to Ultimate Truth.
