Here’s a good example of the slippery slope in magick that I was writing about earlier. Last night someone started a thread about the upcoming solar eclipse. In that thread I said I was driving to Nashville to see the total eclipse of the sun. I even mentioned doing a “black sun” ritual.
Today it was reported that the (white) “son” of the “Nashville” mayor died of a drug overdose last night (in Denver).
That’s black magick or, more specifically, black chaos magick, right?
No. That’s selective perception. And that’s the type of “magical thinking” that, ironically, a magician has to guard against lest he or she fall into a pit of fantasy, self-delusion, and overblown,false ego regarding one’s own abilities that can potentially lead down the road to madness, especially if one has the type of mind that is good at seeing patterns.
However, having this skill can be a great tool of psychological warfare in a “Wizard of Oz” sort of smoke and mirrors game against one’s adversaries.
