Actually, it only got *really* stupid about three posts back. LM, Jack: I know that if you don't post, you cease to exist, but surely the valuable stores of attention you need to survive could be more successfully bartered for with the coin of relevant?

I never spell the word magic with a superfluous thelemic "k" on the end, cos I'm interested in emphasising the similarities between occultism and stage conjuring not keeping them seperate. --G.L.

I get what you're saying. Personally I got into the habit of using the k when I started using the internet, for searchability's sake. Nowadays, though, I look at it more as a little note to myself, a reminder that no matter how many sequins I sew to my costume, I've still got to come up with the goods. On one side of the Trickster there may be Anansi, or Coyote; on the other there's the snake oil merchant, the phony psychic bilking old widows out of their money, the fake faith healer who tells the diabetic to chuck out his insulin and take Jesus instead. I know which side I want to be on.

I thought Glandmaster would maybe post back, that's why I posted the 'Pineal Gland' suggestion, not just to mention a Streetfighter2 character. When did lightening up turn into attention seeking?

I go back to non-existence.

Just started uni so Im having to ration my web usage...

Its a term I came up with to describe, to myself, what I was up to. If you can be bothered to unpack the name you will get an idea as to where I am coming from. I took the idea of the internal warrior and mixed it with the theory that there is no mind and body just mindbody (and that thinking goes on throughout the whole gland system), along with a dick joke.

Most people get the dick joke - all hail eris.
