What I'm suggesting is a reworking of a type of spell which is famously effective but is not usually put to right use: the (erotic) binding curse.
They are meant to inflame & agonize, to perturb the mind with singular thoughts & weaken the sensibilities towards the goal one crafts it for.

For example The slander spell of Selene warns the practitioner repeatedly of the risk of such coercive practices & the reason it ought only be used in necessity

I mean the spell isn't the whole spell & one can very much use force to turn even the gods (cf Archimedes & big sticks)
Looking through the Papyrii there's a number of offerings & sacrifices which compel the action of gods.

As to the thing that elicited thoughts the thought of casting a spindle with its whorl in metal, to be a swirling effective image, thing to be the axis of turning

Him who is beset by torments.
You who have left the sunlight, you unfortunate ones bring success to him NN who is distressed at heart because of [the government] ungodly & unholy. So bring it wracked in torment & in haste...

Lady Of Night who feeds on filth, oh virgin, key-holder, Perephassa, Kore out of Tartaros, Grim-eyed dreadful child, girt with firey serpents (cf Corfu Medusa)! He (you) NN has mixed with bitter tears & doleful cries his own food so that you Oh Heroes bound in [redacted] may bring success to

The spell which is said upon the pieces of bread is this:
Oh! Moirai, Destinies, Malignities,
To Famine, to Jealousy, to those who died violently & those who died before their time I'm sending food

Say the spell to the... bread and throw them. And pick up some polluted dirt from the place where you perform the ritual and throw it inside the houses of government & industry

One must ask: how, then, did he gain their validation? Because –ms AT might be surprised to find out– one is as one does even if the goal is clout chasing

Thing is it is correct. Where humans are there too should be trees. To be under their shade to cool our brows with our breath

May it fall further
May the model become unmade
May a solar flare wipe the source code

Also, beware of just so stories.
Ffs we are in the post modern. We need to be skeptical of lofty narratives.
Narrative is myth, is apprehending a truth through a lie

The chaotic substrate from which atoms of distance & time & stuffness & light spring forth, that haze which is Herculean thundermight that causes color & touch to be pangu-formed from the surface-egg of the waters

Of Alcibides drunk singing the mysteries of eleusis, as the Herma break to his torch, to a popular melody which i another age Nero will work in his harp as flames lay Rome low

We would not have gotten Gus if someone with a measure of sense had offed Sulla while on campaign.

He is cheap & he is stupid & he is an agent of accelerationists.
He is an Antichrist or antiwashington

A cheap conjuror & sham. Weak of spirit he either lies or allows aerial spirits to deceive him

One does not want to be as Abraham was: uncertain & swayed to evil for the sake of obedience

When I position ethics as the foundation of mysticism (that is to say: figure out what is right & wrong & based on that explore the gods) it is a framing of the spiritual as a move from the known (one's own self) to the unknown (the gods)

It's like poetic writing. One wants to hit evocative not purple, understandable but not cliche, novel but not incomprehensible

There's also what Pratchet calls Headology coming in play, the getting in the right mindset, the feeling we have done enough to merit the spell working
& also the cumulative effect of doing what others did...
& then also the fact that some magic is from outside. Spirits do have predilections

Nevada... I'm not shaming just curious as to the confluence of factors that causes that particular proclivity. Is is like a majority or just a plurality; is it a spidersgeorg situation with Cirque du Soleil?

Inwardly it is the nourishing of the connection with the world, of spreading one's roots & mycelia, that one might break bedrock & damn rivers & link with others in the forest

One being funnier than the other is no reason to side with them or either.
To pick a side is to play the game wrong. One must be like France with the Guelphs & Ghibelines

When society codifies the erotic as a conquest & domination, all conquests, all expressions of dominance are suffused by the erotic.

That in these animal names is expressed a simple thing:
Honesty & shamelessness, living in harmony with the world, is what one ought strive for.
Can any man be called more satisfied than Diogenes after telling the conquering son of Philip to move because he was blotting out the sun?

...to choose their own mate. Justice & mercy for the guilty makes the innocent more secure from attacks by the state.

It is tragic that some think Rights & decency are finite 0-sum resources, when they very much are not. Extending these things bolsters those which others already have. Extending the franchise to women solidifies the vote of poor men; gay marriage strengthens the ability of straights...

This year we have seen so much of education bend itself at the whims of fascists that a reckoning by academia is overdue.

No idea what could be done though I bet some rather insightful people have good ideas & insights about the matter & I just wish universities would listen to these people rather than the would be CEOs
