Can I say, regardless of whether this is over or not (and I'm sure we all hope to our respective gods, servitors, totems and other sources of spiritual support and/or inspiration), that this thread has thrown up sone very interesting thoughts.
For example, May's acute and interesting tarot reading. The tarot, in my experience of it, has many uses, but one of them is to identify systems and patterns, working through the subconscious, a form of collective unconscious or through magickal agency (which may or may not include or be contained within either or both of the aforementioned). Like the I Chind, runes, extascopy, oneiromancy and a diverse assembly of other divinations (and what is divining but the search for what flows beneath the surface?).
So, we find ourselves in a situation where magickal means, often supposed by our more rationalist brethren to be unreasonable or nonsensical, are being used to generate patterns and systems around actions in the "normal" world (assuming that, however occult the sniper's/snipers' motives, the impact of bullet on flesh is a process of chemistry, physics and biology, nice "accepted" sciences all) which seem conversely to defy any comprehensible analysis in terms of how "normal people" function.
Which strikes me as a fasinating inversion, and a worthwhile criticism in itself, of the "rational", exclusionary process... |
