'laptop, palmpad?'
Imagination?
Sorry to be flippant (and this is not aimed at you Mark r), but with the amount of books and essays about chaos magick, and magick in general, available on the net already don't you think think people should be able to, you know, put 2 and 2 together. It's not hard to make a spell (maybe harder to make one work but that doesn't come from a book) and i would think that any book that calls itself Pop Culture Magick would be pretty much self explanatory. You don't actually need to read it to know what it's about.
Of course it may be full of interesting insights into the writers own personal system and how he came across it, how he grew with it, the roads he took, the influences he grew from, the painful processes he went through to get there, how he dealt with other people, family and friends to get there. But i'm betting it won't be. It'll be a rehash of 20yr old stuff telling you how you can make servitors out of Pokemon and Star Trek archtypes to pass your exams.
It'll be lazy, bandwagon jumping (on a very old bandwagon at that) crap to make a bit of money. Like i said, i've not read it or the Postmodern Magick book, but if i do i really hope to be proved wrong.
As for paying $18 for it. I'd save that and get some better stuff such as (mentioned above) Stephen Mace or Ramsey Dukes. |
