In the Wonder Woman book I'm doing, for instance, I've actively avoided writing the boy hero story that's so ubiquitous as to seem inescapable - the familiar story of the One, the champion, the Joseph Campbell monomyth thing that drives so many Hollywood movies and YA stories. A story that offers possibilities, exit strategies, rather than apocalypse and ruin. Tell a fresh story that speaks to its times and the people around you. What advice do you have for the magicians out there who have a story to tell and want to storm the reality studio? Psychedelics and hallucinogens have been used by shamans for the same purpose It's as simple as how can you create different states of consciousness? Magic uses spells or rituals, some developed over many centuries, to stimulate specific focused states of consciousness, whether demonic or angelic or god like. Some of these states of consciousness have been called gods because they feel super organized and positive, and some of them can be called demons because they feel chaotic, violent, hateful and perverted or whatever.
Magic is about deliberately inducing unusual states of consciousness. Making the insubstantial tangible.īut there's also a whole other thing. One of magic's main attractions involves bringing things into being, from the conception or thought all the way to solid materiality. It's just a way of looking at things in a fresh light and then working with this augmented version of reality in ways that can appear supernatural. It's just about really paying attention and doing the work to see what happens. Just like a stage conjurer, or a great guitarist, or a gifted actor or artist can do. If you dedicate yourself to learning and practice, if you read other magician's accounts, if you pay attention, then you start to notice details that the less engaged will miss and this allows you to do things that other people may regard as magical or even supernatural. GM: By doing it on a regular basis! It's like a martial art or a musical talent.
