   Synchromysticism and Magic: How To Get Better At Both

   In this side quest from the Hospicing Modernity's Magic series, I make the case that Synchromysticism is modernity's best available form of omen logic. And that getting good at it is one of the more reliable ways to get good at magic. We'll cover Seneca's distinction between the candle and the comet The rise and decline of synchromysticism as a subculture. Jung on the I Ching and psychoid archetypes. The Māori concept of wairua. And the practical toolkit. Show Notes Chris Knowles on Cosmic Connections: Mystical Practices & Reality's Hidden Language. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq5VDnh_luQ) Wearing Jung's Skin Like A Pelt (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2wXoD-F6Vc). Jake Kotze on The Higherside Chats.

And that's the kind of rigor that is there at the beginning of chaos magic and kind of isn't there anywhere else in the English language when it comes to experimental kind of like Western magic. That's all him. And that's very important to me anyway.
