wolven7Choronzon - [Who's In Control]--- I am not a musician, by any stretch-- not intentionally, at any rate-- but I have upon me a deep want and need to talk about the conjunction of music and magic, beyond this list: http://wolven.livejournal.com/1618302.html
I want to explore the intention and the meaning, I want to to get people to feel it, to know, for an absolute fact that some people use their music to make magic, and that that is at least part of what's in their head, when they set out to do that.
Choronzon - [Convection Is Exitless]--- I want to talk about the places where David Bowie makes sound into a tulpa of himself, a thoughtform that he imbues with characteristics and sends out into the world.
I want to talk about the Gnostic chain of creation and being, as explored through the work of Tori Amos.
I want to go through every entry on that list and talk about the lyrics, the notation, the timing, and how they all fold and lock together to make Music That Is Magic.
But though I am a magician, I am not a musician, and I feel woefully underqualified to do that, without sounding like I'm talking completely out of my ass. (Choronzon - [Atael]). This is bothering the shit out of me, because I feel like it's an important intersection of our every day lives with the occult practices and beliefs of many of the most major media figues, in our spotlights.
And I don't even know where to fucking start...
