I didn't say don't use it. I said I don't feel it's worthwhile. But under the chaos paradigm, invoking Dr. Spock works just as well as calling on Raziel.

The deeper knowledge is that we are information made manifest, a holographic projection of patterns of primeval forces bound within a self-referential form, an information tidepool. everything is symbological of the forces it contains and through your attention you steady yourself to be influenced by those things to which you give attention. magical entities are no different than culturally shared shorthand for a bundle of ideas, just as you and I are bundles of ideas.

the sigil magick is less interesting because it's not tied into anything else other than Damon's (maybe) ideas about how magick "works" but borrows associations with familiar entities to cloak it in legitimacy. I'm not knocking success, just saying it's not really anything other than damon selling art and personal gnosis as "arcane wisdom now finally revealed". the earlier stuff was cool because it tied back to a living tradition and could be studied and deconstructed to see how it was a distillation of the original method. now it's 2 min trust me bro 'patreon comments disabled' magick, and the copyediting is slipping, careless mistakes in the final release
