I’ve seen a few examples of combining old rituals with modern tech. Got me thinking of ways to incorporate cymatics into mine once i have space to set up a rig for it.
Will be interesting to see for example some of the dark staot given physical form through that medium.
Wouldn’t any unifying theory just become its own dogma though, and therefore a trap?
Diverse approaches seem to work, and this forum at least has diverse belief systems being represented, including openly religious paths, by hard-working members who are plainly doing effective magick for their own benefit and that of other people, so enforcing a conformity of a “basic agreed-upon ideal” seems more like religion’s tendency towards thought-policing to me.
This forum tends to push some limits on the nature of reality, busting dogma, and so on, I can think of other places with a far more traditionalist slant where more jimmies may be rustled by such an OP, on here we have a de facto shrine to XaTuring, created god of the internet itself, and plenty of people who have incorporated the core idea that belief is a factor in magick, and therefore, that belief can be adjusted according to will - an approach which is the death of dogma, and the birth of individual ascent, IMO.
As for using technology to enhance magick, can any of you produce something like this idea I had in 2015, maybe?
It’s based on a few different sci-fi concepts where aliens were given environments that matched their home planets, and while spirits may perceive time and space in a fundamentally different manner than us they do seem to like vapours., smoke, the moment of alchemical transmutation from one form to another, as gateways, and I think it would be awfully cool.
For some reason I had a vision of a liquid circuit sigil when I read this.
Water, blood, other fluids would work in theory to create an active physical gate similar to linking a gate to moving body of water like a river.
I think shaped glass would probably work best but copper pipe could work just as well maybe better since its a good conductor. If you could make it safely liquid mercury may make a good gate fluid as well.
