Magick is a trap for the ignoble and immoral. It presents itself to us in a glamour-laden package that attempts to seduce our prurience and power-lust. People approach it in the hope of producing miracles in their lives that will bring to them money, lovers, fame and power over others. Yet, Magick is a word that is synonymous with wisdom and is all about one’s spiritual development. You can read books on how to evoke spirits and begin the practice of Magick and you will become beguiled. Or you can read books on philosophy and the ongoing quest of the human soul and find yourself counted upon the nobility. Mercury the trickster god offers you this choice.

1C. Memes; especially spiritual memes often convey false platitudes & on a socio-political level, often deliver ‘gotcha’ comments that are equally false.

3. Emotional development is an important complement to intellectual development, so that one without the other is relatively useless.

3B. As your creative intellect must be brought from you, so must yoiur emotions be brought out of a restricte state.
