Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: You see, something's going to happen.
- 0:06Speaker 2: What?
- 0:09Speaker 1: What's going to happen? Something wonderful. What?
- 0:15Speaker 2: I understand how you feel. You see, it's all very clear.
- 0:23Speaker 1: To me now.
- 0:24Speaker 3: Welcome to the Occult Rejects. Today, we will be continuing
- 0:29Speaker 3: on with Part 2 of the Sigil series. In Part 1,
- 0:32Speaker 3: we had Magus in the media, Eric, and Sanre with myself.
- 0:37Speaker 3: And tonight, we got Sanre coming back with us, and
- 0:39Speaker 3: we got Judith the Loon joining us. I figured tonight,
- 0:44Speaker 3: we'd be able to get a little bit of Judith's
- 0:46Speaker 3: take on how she used.
- 0:48Speaker 2: Sigils in the past.
- 0:49Speaker 3: And I think there's probably a little bit more stuff
- 0:52Speaker 3: that I maybe would want to go into on kind of...
- 0:55Speaker 3: maybe the psychological level on sigils that I didn't quite
- 0:58Speaker 3: get into on the first episode and maybe go down
- 1:01Speaker 3: some weird rabbit holes with Sunray on some other shit
- 1:03Speaker 3: because I know we can kind of look at things
- 1:05Speaker 3: in the same way sometimes on that level. But before
- 1:09Speaker 3: we get into it, let me introduce the other rejects.
- 1:11Speaker 3: And we got Judith the Loon.
- 1:13Speaker 2: What is up?
- 1:17Speaker 4: Thank you for having me. I'm excited to be here.
- 1:19Speaker 4: Always wonderful to see you, Nick and Sunray. It's a
- 1:23Speaker 4: wonderful deal. And You can find me on YouTube, Twitter,
- 1:28Speaker 4: and Spreaker.
- 1:29Speaker 1: Awesome.
- 1:31Speaker 2: Thank you so much for making it.
- 1:32Speaker 3: And like I had said to you earlier, me and
- 1:36Speaker 3: Judith had had an experience. We did a class together
- 1:38Speaker 3: on teaching sigils. It was over Zoom at that point
- 1:41Speaker 3: because I think COVID ended up coming. me and her
- 1:44Speaker 3: did do a sigil class together. So I assumed, you know,
- 1:47Speaker 3: she must be into sigils. And I, you know, I
- 1:50Speaker 3: do remember her mentioning them and we did some other
- 1:52Speaker 3: work with sigil stuff too at one point. So I assumed,
- 1:56Speaker 3: you know, why not bring her on? So thank you
- 1:58Speaker 3: so much, Judith. I really do appreciate it. And we
- 2:00Speaker 3: got my man Sanre back. What is going on, Sanre?
- 2:03Speaker 3: Please let everybody know what is up with you and
- 2:05Speaker 3: your book and everything.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Yeah, it's out. You can buy it now. Yeah, my
- 2:12Speaker 1: name is Sanre. I'm an author. I wrote the book
- 2:15Speaker 1: Chaos Witchcraft, which you can now buy in stores, which
- 2:17Speaker 1: is still pretty unbelievable to me. Fucking cool. I hope
- 2:21Speaker 1: people like it. I host the Order of Chaos podcast
- 2:25Speaker 1: and the Order of Chaos at Cult University, which is
- 2:27Speaker 1: a teaching program. I give live lectures every Tuesday, and
- 2:30Speaker 1: we have about 100 or so educational videos on our platforms,
- 2:34Speaker 1: guest speakers, and we're building it into a real school.
- 2:37Speaker 1: It's very cool.
- 2:39Speaker 3: Awesome good for you man and good luck with that
- 2:41Speaker 3: book i uh i have seen a few accounts posting
- 2:45Speaker 3: uh up your them holding your book and then talking
- 2:47Speaker 3: about your book so uh i was like oh that's
- 2:51Speaker 3: fucking awesome man that's what's up so and you know
- 2:53Speaker 3: obviously all all good things being said about it so
- 2:56Speaker 3: i really wish you the best of luck with that
- 2:58Speaker 3: and honestly from what i read i'll be honest i
- 3:01Speaker 3: think i got 50 something pages in And then I ended.
- 3:04Speaker 2: Up forgetting the last two days to touch it. I'm
- 3:07Speaker 2: just keeping it real, man. I did that book.
- 3:11Speaker 3: In my opinion, I think anybody can honestly read that
- 3:16Speaker 3: regardless of what you're really getting into. Even if it's
- 3:19Speaker 3: not like into like specifically chaos, magic, sigil work or whatever,
- 3:22Speaker 3: this and that. I think the beginning of that book
- 3:25Speaker 3: is honestly paramount as like the front of any magical book.
- 3:29Speaker 3: Because it's going to list all these multiple ways. that
- 3:33Speaker 3: it can be looked at. You know, and a lot,
- 3:36Speaker 3: it's just, to me, I was like, yo, this is awesome.
- 3:40Speaker 3: You know, and I really mean that song, right? When
- 3:42Speaker 3: I was reading it, I was like, we need more
- 3:44Speaker 3: magic books like this. For real, with that, yeah, no,
- 3:48Speaker 3: within the first 20 or 30 pages, you laid it down, man.
- 3:51Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
- 3:53Speaker 3: Especially, I mean, you're bringing in string theory and all
- 3:55Speaker 3: this stuff, and I'm just like, yo, like, I wish
- 3:59Speaker 3: more people were talking about this shit. Within, you know,
- 4:02Speaker 3: magic and practice and theory and all that stuff. So
- 4:05Speaker 3: that's what's up, dude.
- 4:06Speaker 2: I agree. That's what's up.
- 4:06Speaker 1: I think we need to, you know, the idea for
- 4:09Speaker 1: me is like, I don't think magic is supernatural. I
- 4:13Speaker 1: think it's natural. It's just nature, aspect of nature we
- 4:16Speaker 1: haven't really mapped out yet. And so I want to
- 4:18Speaker 1: try and help map it out in whatever capacity that
- 4:22Speaker 1: I can.
- 4:23Speaker 2: Didn't even Agrippa call it natural magic in his books?
- 4:28Speaker 1: I believe so.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Maybe it's not too supernatural.
- 4:31Speaker 1: Or like we did a while back, you know, calling
- 4:34Speaker 1: it natural philosophy. Absolutely. No, no.
- 4:40Speaker 5: Actually you have a, I think you already have a,
- 4:42Speaker 5: a fan out in the chat.
- 4:44Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we do.
- 4:45Speaker 4: Yes.
- 4:45Speaker 2: Sarah's already in here from, uh, from there. Exactly.
- 4:49Speaker 3: What's going on. Cause, uh, So Judith, not to cut
- 4:53Speaker 3: you off, sorry, but I figured we'd just get into it. Judith,
- 4:57Speaker 3: what was your, I guess, what brought you to working
- 5:00Speaker 3: with sigils?
- 5:01Speaker 2: What caught your attention with that?
- 5:04Speaker 4: We were discussing this earlier. I actually pulled it out.
- 5:07Speaker 4: It was this book right here. And I actually, I
- 5:10Speaker 4: like it so much because I rarely reread books. This
- 5:13Speaker 4: is one of the ones I reread. And after working
- 5:20Speaker 4: with them, they really work quickly if you're practicing magic.
- 5:28Speaker 4: I have to admit, I haven't used it in a while,
- 5:30Speaker 4: but I do like sigils. That is a thing, but
- 5:36Speaker 4: you have to keep track of your sigils. It actually
- 5:46Speaker 4: helped hone in my magical practices when it comes to
- 5:51Speaker 4: documenting Because even though, yes, sigils are made, you make
- 5:58Speaker 4: them personally for whatever you want.
- 6:01Speaker 5: Sometimes if you haven't been using them, you'll forget.
- 6:05Speaker 4: What's the purpose of that one? And you don't apply
- 6:10Speaker 4: them to typical everyday symbols. That's the number one thing.
- 6:16Speaker 4: But I like being so personalized for whatever you want
- 6:21Speaker 4: for you. I'm under the believe that if i if
- 6:27Speaker 4: someone creates a sigil it's not for me it's for
- 6:29Speaker 4: them and the the energy won't go for what i
- 6:34Speaker 4: want because someone already created it that's why it's i
- 6:38Speaker 4: find it i did that's why i think it works
- 6:40Speaker 4: the way it does because it is curtailed down to
- 6:44Speaker 4: almost to your thought process.
- 6:47Speaker 1: I agree i strongly agree i think that now there's
- 6:52Speaker 1: there's when we're talking about sigil magic, we're not talking
- 6:55Speaker 1: about one thing here, right? It's like, I'm very interested
- 6:58Speaker 1: in what the OTO has to say about sigil magic. Um,
- 7:01Speaker 1: but you know, there's like the goetic sigils, for example,
- 7:04Speaker 1: sigils you'll find in a book that are historic are
- 7:09Speaker 1: radically different than one you make because you need a
- 7:12Speaker 1: raise at your job, right? Those are two different types
- 7:15Speaker 1: of magic. They're both relying on this symbolic framework to,
- 7:19Speaker 1: But they work very differently. Or, for example, a memetic sigil.
- 7:23Speaker 1: If I make a sigil and I post it to Instagram. So,
- 7:26Speaker 1: for example, I did a hex ice sigil because fuck
- 7:28Speaker 1: those guys. And, you know, it got tens and thousands
- 7:32Speaker 1: of views. So that's tens of thousands of people just
- 7:35Speaker 1: seeing it and being like, yeah, fuck those guys. And
- 7:37Speaker 1: putting all that psychic energy towards fuck those guys. You
- 7:41Speaker 1: know what I mean? And that has power behind it,
- 7:43Speaker 1: but it's a different kind of power. then the power
- 7:45Speaker 1: I'm using if I make a sigil again to create
- 7:48Speaker 1: an event in my life tomorrow.
- 7:52Speaker 5: Yes.
- 7:54Speaker 3: You know, I've wondered about, you know, I was thinking
- 7:58Speaker 3: about this earlier because I knew we were having the
- 8:00Speaker 3: sigil show. And I often wondered, like, do some logos,
- 8:05Speaker 3: especially on.
- 8:05Speaker 2: Like certain like expensive companies that really don't need to
- 8:09Speaker 2: probably be as expensive, you know, shit like, I'll say
- 8:12Speaker 2: like Prada or like Louis Vuitton, you know, shit like that.
- 8:15Speaker 3: You know, do, do they almost like somehow become like, uh,
- 8:18Speaker 3: fed by the people's attention and become like its own egregore?
- 8:23Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
- 8:23Speaker 5: Yes.
- 8:24Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 8:25Speaker 3: And then like, that's what almost even just makes it
- 8:27Speaker 3: what it is. And like, so powerful.
- 8:31Speaker 4: I was actually watching a video a couple of days ago, uh,
- 8:36Speaker 4: about the popular advertisements that you have there.
- 8:40Speaker 5: I'm not going to mention anyone cause I don't want
- 8:42Speaker 5: anyone to come after us.
- 8:44Speaker 4: But, uh, They were talking about speaking to the owner
- 8:48Speaker 4: and what it meant behind it. So they technically, even
- 8:55Speaker 4: though they're like something, I don't want to use anything
- 8:58Speaker 4: popular that anybody knows, but like an advertisement that you
- 9:02Speaker 4: see that symbol, you know what it is. They put
- 9:07Speaker 4: that thought process to be prosperous out there with this product.
- 9:11Speaker 4: And everybody who buys it on a daily puts that
- 9:14Speaker 4: energy right back into that. Yep.
- 9:15Speaker 5: For them.
- 9:19Speaker 4: And they broke it down and they spoke to these
- 9:21Speaker 4: owners and the creators and they explained why they chose
- 9:25Speaker 4: that particular symbol or something like that.
- 9:29Speaker 1: There's a little psychology you can put into the symbols
- 9:32Speaker 1: and the way they look, which is another aspect of this.
- 9:35Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
- 9:36Speaker 3: Curves and straight lines. One makes you more pleasing to
- 9:40Speaker 3: the eye. The other one creates confusion, almost agitation.
- 9:44Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 9:44Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 9:46Speaker 1: So, for example, if you look at the unicrucial hexagram,
- 9:50Speaker 1: the Crowley's Symbol of Philema, there's something very interesting about it.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Or the one that everyone absolutely knows who's ever done
- 9:58Speaker 1: anything with magic, the pentagram. There's something. about that symbol
- 10:01Speaker 1: that makes you go, oh, whoa, what's that? It sticks
- 10:04Speaker 1: in your brain, right? Especially to me, the inverted pentagram.
- 10:07Speaker 1: It's like I was drawn to that. I don't even
- 10:10Speaker 1: know why I was drawn to it before I ever
- 10:12Speaker 1: got into magic. And part of that is it contains
- 10:16Speaker 1: the golden ratio. It contains five. And your brain recognizes that.
- 10:21Speaker 1: But you don't know why.
- 10:22Speaker 3: Yeah, that pentagram was a... When it comes to geometry,
- 10:28Speaker 3: I mean, that's why we have rational and irrational numbers.
- 10:33Speaker 3: It's very interesting what that pentagram did. Honestly, with mathematics
- 10:37Speaker 3: and shit.
- 10:39Speaker 1: And actually, if.
- 10:40Speaker 4: You think about it, it's... That even... You start putting
- 10:44Speaker 4: your energy... That's what most people... tend to overlook the
- 10:47Speaker 4: minute you start creating it, you are putting that energy
- 10:52Speaker 4: out there. You are putting it, the energy, the moment
- 10:54Speaker 4: that pen touched the paper.
- 10:58Speaker 3: I would even say, uh, even with the pentagram, like I,
- 11:01Speaker 3: I like, I think maybe part five into like a
- 11:05Speaker 3: 20 part series. I already have it like Dawn. I
- 11:08Speaker 3: just have to record it, uh, of like the history
- 11:11Speaker 3: of the pentagram. And it has been used by so
- 11:14Speaker 3: many people for so many different reasons. It's just like, yo,
- 11:17Speaker 3: I think he's got to have picked up how many.
- 11:20Speaker 2: It's just ridiculous what it's looked at now and used for.
- 11:24Speaker 2: I mean, Christians used it.
- 11:26Speaker 1: Everybody's used it. None of it is like going, the
- 11:30Speaker 1: thing that bothers me about it so much is that
- 11:32Speaker 1: I get why so many people have used that symbol,
- 11:34Speaker 1: but the argument that you see most of the time
- 11:36Speaker 1: online is it's either the symbol of Wicca or the
- 11:38Speaker 1: symbol of Satanism. I'm like, it is phagoras, bitch. Like,
- 11:43Speaker 1: it is not Wicca or Satanism, both of which were
- 11:45Speaker 1: created in the mid-1900s. This goes back thousands of years.
- 11:50Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 11:53Speaker 4: Well, think about the symbol's, That we've had, like you said,
- 11:57Speaker 4: thousands of years that have been perverted. And the energy
- 12:01Speaker 4: that was placed behind that. So that's basically the same
- 12:04Speaker 4: mechanics for when it comes to sigils. But you're just
- 12:07Speaker 4: doing it on a personal level, on a more....
- 12:11Speaker 1: And then... It's also that you're this is one of
- 12:15Speaker 1: my favorite things to talk about in the entire world
- 12:17Speaker 1: is that you have two brain hemispheres. You have two brains.
- 12:21Speaker 1: You don't have one brain with two halves. You have
- 12:24Speaker 1: two fucking brains that are connected by a third ingredient. Right.
- 12:27Speaker 1: And they disagree with each other a lot and they
- 12:30Speaker 1: work completely differently. So left brain, this is where your
- 12:34Speaker 1: speech center is. Right brain don't have that. Right brain
- 12:38Speaker 1: speaks in symbols.
- 12:39Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 12:40Speaker 1: And the right brain, your subconscious, and this is, by
- 12:43Speaker 1: the way, this is a massive oversimplification, just the gist
- 12:46Speaker 1: of it, right? Right brain, subconscious, massively more powerful than
- 12:51Speaker 1: dumbass calculator brain over here. But this one's in charge.
- 12:55Speaker 1: So you can write down an intent, right? And then
- 12:59Speaker 1: turn it into a symbol that the subconscious can understand
- 13:03Speaker 1: because it does not understand your words. There's no speech
- 13:06Speaker 1: center over there. So you take the words, turn them
- 13:09Speaker 1: into a symbol. That's the left brain giving the right
- 13:12Speaker 1: brain instructions.
- 13:17Speaker 5: So someone who is more visual would be more right brain.
- 13:22Speaker 2: Right. You know, it's interesting. I was even.
- 13:26Speaker 1: Again, massive oversimplification. You use your whole brain all the time.
- 13:30Speaker 1: There's not stuff that's like... The old belief was that
- 13:33Speaker 1: certain things are strictly left brain and certain things are
- 13:34Speaker 1: strictly right brain. And that's not... As true as people
- 13:37Speaker 1: once thought, but it is still essentially true. And, you know,
- 13:41Speaker 1: we as a species are massively, overwhelmingly left-brained. There's not
- 13:47Speaker 1: a single human being on Earth that is, like, more
- 13:49Speaker 1: right-brained than they are left-brained. That way, maybe in severe
- 13:52Speaker 1: cases of autism. But if that were true, you'd be nonverbal.
- 13:55Speaker 1: You would not function. right so your right brain is
- 14:00Speaker 1: this this but it's where your creativity comes from it's
- 14:02Speaker 1: where your feelings are it's where all that stuff that
- 14:04Speaker 1: isn't rational it's all over here that's where magic is.
- 14:09Speaker 3: You know it's interesting i was uh making this point
- 14:12Speaker 3: and uh i don't know if maybe i would say
- 14:14Speaker 3: well especially with letters that's definitely you know you could
- 14:16Speaker 3: say those are sigils in themselves but i would even
- 14:19Speaker 3: maybe even say these codices that i was covering i
- 14:22Speaker 3: was just i just uploaded the first part i'm gonna
- 14:25Speaker 3: record the second but i started already hopefully finish it
- 14:27Speaker 3: tomorrow I was working on like these, um, these Nawa
- 14:31Speaker 3: codices and they're just images basically, you know? And I,
- 14:37Speaker 3: I was trying to make the point that I was like,
- 14:38Speaker 3: you know, I think we're so used to seeing letters
- 14:44Speaker 3: on written on a line and then either reading it
- 14:46Speaker 3: from left to right or right to left to understand
- 14:49Speaker 3: how to look at something. So like who, you know,
- 14:52Speaker 3: how are we going to look at them and then,
- 14:55Speaker 3: and say, we understand what the fuck that image means.
- 14:58Speaker 3: Because they obviously aren't using the same system we use
- 15:01Speaker 3: to describe shit.
- 15:03Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 15:04Speaker 2: You know, they're using images and complex deep shit. And
- 15:06Speaker 2: it's just like, yeah.
- 15:08Speaker 3: So I was even trying to get at that. So
- 15:11Speaker 3: even their brain probably just worked differently than we did
- 15:16Speaker 3: to an extent with that.
- 15:18Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, if you think about it, when you're learning
- 15:20Speaker 4: different languages, and I'm not talking about Latin-based languages. languages
- 15:27Speaker 4: and talking about like other countries that use symbols and stuff,
- 15:31Speaker 4: it takes a very long time for us to learn
- 15:33Speaker 4: those languages.
- 15:34Speaker 5: And that's the reason why.
- 15:36Speaker 4: Because it doesn't have that connection. Again, the connection with
- 15:40Speaker 4: the sigils. It doesn't have that connection with us because
- 15:43Speaker 4: that's not what we grew up with. That's not what
- 15:45Speaker 4: we were raised in. That's not how we communicate.
- 15:48Speaker 5: Right.
- 15:49Speaker 1: Have you guys heard of the Wharf Hypothesis?
- 15:53Speaker 5: No.
- 15:53Speaker 1: The morph hypothesis is the idea that the language you
- 15:56Speaker 1: speak massively colors the way you interpret reality.
- 16:00Speaker 2: Oh.
- 16:01Speaker 1: So a person who speaks Spanish and a person who
- 16:02Speaker 1: speaks English live in different realities.
- 16:05Speaker 2: I can see that.
- 16:06Speaker 1: That is true. Because language is the construct that we
- 16:08Speaker 1: use for everything. Ooh. I don't know if you guys
- 16:13Speaker 1: have seen this, but watch the movie. If you haven't
- 16:15Speaker 1: seen the movie Arrival, it's so good if you're a
- 16:18Speaker 1: nerd and you want to see like a... It's kind
- 16:20Speaker 1: of like a nerdy movie. No, that was an amazing movie.
- 16:23Speaker 1: But these aliens come down to Earth and their language
- 16:27Speaker 1: is drawn in circles. Yep. And by learning the language,
- 16:31Speaker 1: the main character, the protagonist... learns to experience reality is cyclical,
- 16:37Speaker 1: and she no longer experiences time the way we do,
- 16:40Speaker 1: just by learning this language. No, it's like she crossed
- 16:42Speaker 1: the abyss or some weird shit, dude. In action.
- 16:45Speaker 3: Yeah, that chick almost had a magical experience from cracking
- 16:48Speaker 3: that shit or whatever.
- 16:50Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 16:50Speaker 1: It was not fucking bonkers.
- 16:51Speaker 2: Yeah, that movie I thought was great.
- 16:53Speaker 1: Language is what orients our brain to everything. Yeah. True.
- 16:58Speaker 4: But also, now that I have a question... That just
- 17:03Speaker 4: popped up in his head. So does that also mean
- 17:07Speaker 4: that to learn a different language is like learning, is
- 17:12Speaker 4: like you're reprogramming your brain to experience it and you're
- 17:16Speaker 4: opening yourself up to that magical experience?
- 17:21Speaker 1: Absolutely.
- 17:22Speaker 2: I wonder if knowing multiple languages helps with using more
- 17:29Speaker 2: of your brain or something.
- 17:30Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder, right? Because, well, you know, it depends
- 17:33Speaker 1: because most of our languages follow a very similar construct, right?
- 17:37Speaker 1: Like all the Latin-based languages. They're similar enough that I
- 17:40Speaker 1: don't think it would be a huge difference. But then, like, Japanese,
- 17:44Speaker 1: for example, is very different.
- 17:46Speaker 2: Oh, right. Right.
- 17:47Speaker 1: And I don't know anything about, I think it looks cool,
- 17:50Speaker 1: but that's all I know about it. So I have
- 17:51Speaker 1: no idea what that would open up for you in
- 17:53Speaker 1: your brain. But, like, it doesn't resemble English at all. True.
- 17:58Speaker 2: True.
- 17:59Speaker 1: Don't even write this not left to right. It's one
- 18:02Speaker 1: symbol can mean four different things. You know, there's so
- 18:06Speaker 1: much going on in there that it would be foreign
- 18:08Speaker 1: to us. And I think it's so cool.
- 18:13Speaker 2: Yeah, that is, yeah.
- 18:14Speaker 3: Yeah, I've known somebody who learned, well, I know a
- 18:16Speaker 3: few people who learned Japanese and they said that shit
- 18:18Speaker 3: was hard.
- 18:20Speaker 2: I bet. Yeah, very difficult language to learn. So I've
- 18:24Speaker 2: been told.
- 18:25Speaker 4: But.
- 18:27Speaker 2: I'm not trying. But yeah, with the... What was I
- 18:32Speaker 2: going to say about sigils? Judith, when you did sigils,
- 18:38Speaker 2: would you... Did you ever use the magic square style?
- 18:42Speaker 2: Or did you just kind of use the.
- 18:45Speaker 5: I used the alphabet.
- 18:46Speaker 2: Yeah, okay. All right.
- 18:47Speaker 5: I didn't use the magic square. I am horrible at math.
- 18:49Speaker 5: I ain't going to lie.
- 18:50Speaker 3: So.
- 18:52Speaker 4: anything that you put in front of me that I
- 18:54Speaker 4: have to use something, if that concept, it'll take me
- 18:57Speaker 4: much longer. And that back then I was kind of impatient.
- 19:01Speaker 4: So I wanted to do it right then and there.
- 19:05Speaker 2: Oh, I get that. You know, that is true. I
- 19:07Speaker 2: was even thinking about that.
- 19:08Speaker 3: And when we were talking about something, uh, I think, uh,
- 19:10Speaker 3: you know, once I started kind of getting into like,
- 19:12Speaker 3: you know, just the alphabet and the numerical stuff with
- 19:15Speaker 3: that and, you know, like it's chaos, magic or chaos
- 19:17Speaker 3: style more. Um, I didn't have to, obviously, if I'm
- 19:22Speaker 3: using the planetary system or squares, it would kind of
- 19:25Speaker 3: make sense if I started going by the planetary hours
- 19:27Speaker 3: and the days. And, like, now it becomes a structured
- 19:29Speaker 3: thing that it's like I can't.
- 19:31Speaker 2: Technically just do it right now, you know, if I
- 19:33Speaker 2: want to adhere to this whole thing. So I did
- 19:37Speaker 2: like how that, in the few cases where.
- 19:40Speaker 3: I did think it was, you know, I needed to
- 19:42Speaker 3: do something kind of like off, you know, whatever wasn't planned,
- 19:47Speaker 3: I did you know worked great still worked for me
- 19:50Speaker 3: I think you know and there's less boundaries to.
- 19:53Speaker 1: It I think it would probably work incredibly well I
- 19:54Speaker 1: don't have the patience for that but I'll bet it
- 19:56Speaker 1: works incredibly.
- 19:57Speaker 3: Well no yeah but you know again just using the
- 20:01Speaker 3: chaos style one I did you know I did like
- 20:03Speaker 3: the freedom of just being able to kind of like
- 20:05Speaker 3: you know do it as things come up.
- 20:09Speaker 1: Yeah I think that the psychodrama aspect of magic is
- 20:13Speaker 1: incredibly important. So, like, let's say you read some really
- 20:18Speaker 1: old complex ritual from ancient Egypt or Samaria or wherever, right?
- 20:25Speaker 1: I think just going through all those steps and making
- 20:28Speaker 1: sure you did every little thing exactly right builds up
- 20:32Speaker 1: the idea in your mind that you did it right
- 20:35Speaker 1: and therefore it will work. And so it eliminates doubt.
- 20:38Speaker 1: And if it eliminates doubt, then it's making your magic
- 20:41Speaker 1: work better, 100%. Because doubt kills magic faster than anything.
- 20:45Speaker 1: And also just that we human beings thrive on that
- 20:49Speaker 1: progressive step-by-step kind of way of doing things. And that's
- 20:53Speaker 1: why I think that people like me, who have severe ADHD,
- 20:58Speaker 1: can't cope with that. And so we need systems like
- 21:02Speaker 1: chaos magic.
- 21:06Speaker 5: I could see that.
- 21:07Speaker 4: But I also found with sigils, though, you tend to
- 21:12Speaker 4: slow down just a little bit so you can be
- 21:14Speaker 4: more precise than if you're just going to do a
- 21:18Speaker 4: circle for something. And I think that's why I think
- 21:26Speaker 4: sigils work better only because you have to stop and
- 21:29Speaker 4: you have to think, what exactly am I asking for
- 21:33Speaker 4: at this point in time? Where you could just have
- 21:39Speaker 4: an intent sometimes when you go into a circle.
- 21:43Speaker 2: Yo, that is really true. It's so funny.
- 21:45Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I mentioned this in the last time
- 21:48Speaker 1: we did this also, but that's, I think, a huge
- 21:51Speaker 1: part of the real magic of sigils in the chaos
- 21:55Speaker 1: magic sense is in the phrasing of your initial statement
- 22:00Speaker 1: of intent and how precise can you be with your
- 22:03Speaker 1: words in Because if you say, like, I want more money, okay,
- 22:07Speaker 1: and you find a dollar, cool, you have more money.
- 22:09Speaker 2: It worked.
- 22:10Speaker 1: You know what I mean? That doesn't– it's not nearly
- 22:13Speaker 1: clear enough. So the clearer and more powerful you can
- 22:17Speaker 1: make that statement of intention, the better it's going to work, right? So, again,
- 22:23Speaker 1: I tell everyone to do this because I'm not a gatekeeper,
- 22:26Speaker 1: but the sigil that I use that literally changed my
- 22:29Speaker 1: life from being miserable to being a fucking– drywall guy
- 22:34Speaker 1: to how the fuck did I write a book? What
- 22:37Speaker 1: am I even doing here? To get to where I
- 22:40Speaker 1: am now, all started with a sigil, with a statement
- 22:43Speaker 1: that says, I am always in the right place at
- 22:45Speaker 1: the right time.
- 22:45Speaker 5: That's a good one.
- 22:49Speaker 1: A good one. And then ever since I did that,
- 22:54Speaker 1: I was always in the right place at the right time.
- 22:56Speaker 1: Even if it doesn't feel like it in that exact moment,
- 22:58Speaker 1: everything led me to exactly where I want to be,
- 23:00Speaker 1: which is right here, right now.
- 23:03Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I guess you really can't state yourself
- 23:05Speaker 2: too wrong with that one, right? Right, exactly.
- 23:08Speaker 1: No potential for backfire with that one.
- 23:11Speaker 2: Yeah, right.
- 23:12Speaker 1: You need to consider when you're making that statement, will
- 23:15Speaker 1: this backfire? Is this really what I want? Is this
- 23:17Speaker 1: actually good for me? Am I stating it in a
- 23:19Speaker 1: clear way? Does it have potential to keep working long
- 23:23Speaker 1: into the future or is it just for something I
- 23:25Speaker 1: need right now? Either is fine, but you have to
- 23:28Speaker 1: think about all of these things and then craft a statement.
- 23:30Speaker 1: And now we're talking about just the power of words, right?
- 23:33Speaker 1: And then take that and turn that into a sigil.
- 23:36Speaker 1: And now you've got something really, really powerful.
- 23:40Speaker 2: Your subconscious is even like, damn, that's good, dude.
- 23:46Speaker 4: Fuck.
- 23:47Speaker 5: I guess that's why it works so well and so
- 23:49Speaker 5: quickly when you.
- 23:51Speaker 4: When you create it at that time. Because it's a
- 23:56Speaker 4: lot more. There's a process for when you're doing ritual,
- 23:59Speaker 4: and then there's a process when you're doing sigils.
- 24:02Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 24:04Speaker 1: Yes. And you can combine them, which I think is
- 24:07Speaker 1: like the right way to do it. So ritual and
- 24:11Speaker 1: magic are like peanut butter and jelly. They go incredibly
- 24:14Speaker 1: well together, but they are not the same thing. in
- 24:18Speaker 1: fact then they go so well together that maybe you
- 24:20Speaker 1: can't imagine having one without the other but they're not
- 24:23Speaker 1: the same thing.
- 24:24Speaker 2: I would even say with certain stuff that is incorporated
- 24:27Speaker 2: into rituals that I think is actually like kind of
- 24:30Speaker 2: part of the magic can be done or reduplicated without
- 24:35Speaker 2: doing it that way yeah put it that way absolutely.
- 24:40Speaker 1: You can do magic and never engage in ritual and
- 24:42Speaker 1: you can have all kinds of rituals that have no
- 24:44Speaker 1: magical effects whatsoever yeah I'm.
- 24:46Speaker 2: Sure I did those myself. I wrote plenty of those myself.
- 24:49Speaker 2: I'm sure.
- 24:53Speaker 1: Well, ritual has a psychological effect, if not a magical effect.
- 24:57Speaker 2: Right.
- 24:57Speaker 1: And then, and then you'd be like, well, yeah, but
- 24:59Speaker 1: what aren't psychology and magic the same thing? No, they're
- 25:01Speaker 1: like peanut butter and jelly. They go really well together,
- 25:03Speaker 1: but they're not the same thing. And that's true with
- 25:06Speaker 1: all kinds of little areas of, of everything that we
- 25:09Speaker 1: talk about here. So like the entire umbrella of esoteric
- 25:12Speaker 1: philosophy is all these different examples of peanut butter and jelly.
- 25:16Speaker 1: But none of them actually are the one thing, and
- 25:21Speaker 1: it's in the different combinations of, okay, so now we've
- 25:24Speaker 1: got different types of peanut butter, and we have almond butter,
- 25:28Speaker 1: and all the different things, and we have all the
- 25:30Speaker 1: different types of jam, and finding the right combinations of
- 25:34Speaker 1: peanut butters and jams is how we get all these
- 25:36Speaker 1: different types of magic.
- 25:39Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I definitely agree with that. I like that. Yeah,
- 25:45Speaker 2: peanut butter and jelly is a magic ritual. Right, because you.
- 25:50Speaker 1: Can do peanut butter and grape jelly, but what if
- 25:52Speaker 1: you did hazelnut butter and strawberry jam? Hazelnut.
- 25:58Speaker 5: I haven't had dinner yet. That's not fair.
- 25:59Speaker 2: Yeah, the munchies. I'm smoking. I'm like, fuck.
- 26:07Speaker 3: Yeah, I would even say, and I've said before myself,
- 26:10Speaker 3: Some of the most profound experiences I had just came
- 26:12Speaker 3: from sitting down and meditating in the god pose. I
- 26:15Speaker 3: did no rituals. So, I mean, you know, I guess
- 26:20Speaker 3: a ritual wasn't needed for those. I didn't have to
- 26:23Speaker 3: do this whole psychodrama fucking experience.
- 26:28Speaker 1: Do you think, though, that ritual enhances the magic? I mean,
- 26:31Speaker 1: I do.
- 26:33Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 26:34Speaker 2: Oh, no. I think for sure. So many different aspects.
- 26:39Speaker 3: I think even if it's just a mind attaching itself,
- 26:43Speaker 3: like for a ceremonial magician.
- 26:45Speaker 2: You have all these associations. You have this on there
- 26:48Speaker 2: because you're working with mercury. You have this herb. You
- 26:50Speaker 2: have this crystal. You have this color. You got this
- 26:52Speaker 2: and that.
- 26:52Speaker 3: You have all these associations that by the time you're done,
- 26:55Speaker 3: you've already got this shit beat into your head about
- 26:56Speaker 3: what the hell you're looking for, what you're expecting or
- 27:00Speaker 3: what you're associating with. And I do think that helps
- 27:04Speaker 3: really create some sort of connections. Just on that level,
- 27:08Speaker 3: besides many other different things.
- 27:10Speaker 2: But yeah, I definitely think ritual can help. I think
- 27:13Speaker 2: it would help even if you did all that stuff
- 27:19Speaker 2: and then had my experience.
- 27:21Speaker 3: Where maybe you just had a crazy experience just meditating.
- 27:27Speaker 3: For me, there's been certain things I've looked at that
- 27:29Speaker 3: I was like, when I looked at what I used
- 27:32Speaker 3: to use in ritual work, I looked at it in
- 27:35Speaker 3: a different way and kind of stood out to me
- 27:37Speaker 3: in different ways. I could see it being there, but
- 27:39Speaker 3: just for different symbolism and different reasons. So it did
- 27:43Speaker 3: kind of actually add to it, didn't take away from it.
- 27:51Speaker 3: I would say it almost even kind of cosigns some
- 27:55Speaker 3: certain ideas that I had that maybe it is a
- 27:58Speaker 3: little bit more physical or even more scientific.
- 28:03Speaker 2: But I just didn't notice it looking at it through
- 28:05Speaker 2: this lens.
- 28:07Speaker 3: I would even say, like, I'll put it myself because
- 28:08Speaker 3: I was a little bit, you know, maybe even I
- 28:10Speaker 3: was looking at some stuff a little bit, woo-woo, to
- 28:12Speaker 3: an extent.
- 28:14Speaker 2: You know, keep it real.
- 28:15Speaker 3: And then I had certain experiences and it just kind
- 28:17Speaker 3: of made me like, hmm, maybe there's something else here.
- 28:20Speaker 1: Man, I went through a phase of several years of
- 28:27Speaker 1: Where I would like back away from anything that I
- 28:30Speaker 1: consider to be woo woo. And then I'm like, why
- 28:34Speaker 1: the fuck am I practicing magic? If I don't like
- 28:36Speaker 1: things that are woo. See that word implies something that
- 28:40Speaker 1: doesn't even have a fucking definition.
- 28:41Speaker 2: Yeah. I hate to even use it because yeah. Yeah.
- 28:45Speaker 1: Because I'll even say myself, I was in my practice
- 28:47Speaker 1: for years at the same time. That's kind of where
- 28:49Speaker 1: I got the, the practicality that's part of my brand
- 28:53Speaker 1: or whatever now, you know, but it's, It's still so
- 28:58Speaker 1: weird because you'll have ideas that you're grounded in and
- 29:01Speaker 1: then realize, wait a minute, maybe that's bullshit. And then
- 29:05Speaker 1: you move over here and you find new ideas and
- 29:07Speaker 1: it's like you move back and forth. It's so hard
- 29:10Speaker 1: to pin this stuff down. It's so hard. I think
- 29:14Speaker 1: everything we're doing with magic is we're all just poking
- 29:17Speaker 1: at our brains being like, do the thing. Do the
- 29:19Speaker 1: thing I want you to do.
- 29:20Speaker 4: I'm glad you mentioned that because I wanted to ask you, Sanre,
- 29:26Speaker 4: do you think Going through the ritual part helps the
- 29:31Speaker 4: two sides of the brains talk to each other?
- 29:33Speaker 2: Yes.
- 29:34Speaker 4: Yes.
- 29:35Speaker 1: And there's ways to facilitate that specifically. So I have
- 29:39Speaker 1: um something that i created that you can purchase on
- 29:41Speaker 1: my website it's only ten dollars and it is a
- 29:43Speaker 1: sigil ritual so it's a ritual meditation it's like a
- 29:47Speaker 1: guided meditation but it's a guided ritual that walks you
- 29:50Speaker 1: through making a sigil and burning it on your altar
- 29:53Speaker 1: and it uses hemi-sync not the brand hemi-sync but binaural
- 29:57Speaker 1: beats and which specifically are designed to synchronize your rain hemispheres.
- 30:02Speaker 1: So I'm just trying to take as many different methodologies
- 30:05Speaker 1: as I can and smush them all together to get
- 30:07Speaker 1: something really, really effective. But I think the more stuff
- 30:11Speaker 1: you layer into your magic, as long as it makes
- 30:14Speaker 1: sense to you and you can explain why you're doing it,
- 30:16Speaker 1: the more is better.
- 30:18Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
- 30:25Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I was kind of saying even before, like,
- 30:28Speaker 3: you know, with, like, some associations, you know, the more
- 30:30Speaker 3: layered I got with some.
- 30:32Speaker 1: Of the stuff.
- 30:33Speaker 4: Yes, yeah.
- 30:33Speaker 1: As long as you know what they are and they
- 30:36Speaker 1: help your magic, yes.
- 30:38Speaker 2: For sure.
- 30:38Speaker 3: I would even get down to sometimes the altar cloth,
- 30:41Speaker 3: I would have certain colors for that. Sometimes I would
- 30:43Speaker 3: even change the light bulb to the color of, like,
- 30:45Speaker 3: whatever I was kind of working with.
- 30:47Speaker 2: So, yeah. I definitely think that all does. Yeah, that
- 30:50Speaker 2: all does make a difference. Some people may feel like Odeon,
- 30:53Speaker 2: but maybe that's what your brain needs.
- 30:55Speaker 5: I have a question for both of you. Do you
- 30:57Speaker 5: keep a sigil diary?
- 30:58Speaker 2: I would say it was a diary, but any time
- 31:03Speaker 2: I did rituals in the past, I would always write
- 31:08Speaker 2: them down, what I was doing. And I would have.
- 31:14Speaker 3: If I made a talisman, I would kind of have
- 31:16Speaker 3: explained what I was, or a sigil. But a lot
- 31:19Speaker 3: of my talismans all had sigils on them. So a
- 31:21Speaker 3: lot of times I would even explain what I was
- 31:25Speaker 3: using it.
- 31:27Speaker 2: You mentioned it before, you may forget. There's times where
- 31:29Speaker 2: it's like I might have used the Mars square to
- 31:31Speaker 2: write strength in there and then put it onto a
- 31:34Speaker 2: Mars sigil.
- 31:36Speaker 3: I may have forgot that five years ago and be like,
- 31:38Speaker 3: I don't know what the fuck that is because I
- 31:39Speaker 3: used the Mars square.
- 31:40Speaker 2: It could be anything.
- 31:41Speaker 3: But I have it in there now when I gave
- 31:43Speaker 3: the idea of what this talisman was structured and why.
- 31:46Speaker 2: I used it.
- 31:50Speaker 1: Though I do keep a sigil diary, sort of. And
- 31:54Speaker 1: I want to preface this by saying that my attitude
- 31:58Speaker 1: towards magic is very experimental, very much fuck around and
- 32:01Speaker 1: find out. I want to, I want to, I want
- 32:03Speaker 1: to fuck around and find out.
- 32:04Speaker 2: I got like that later on actually.
- 32:06Speaker 1: What I will do is create a sigil with a
- 32:09Speaker 1: very clear statement of intent and then copy the sigil,
- 32:12Speaker 1: but not the statement of intent over to the diary.
- 32:16Speaker 1: So I have no idea what the fuck they mean.
- 32:17Speaker 1: And most of mine look vaguely similar enough that there's
- 32:20Speaker 1: no way I'm going to be telling them apart. And
- 32:22Speaker 1: then I can just, as long as I know that I,
- 32:25Speaker 1: that I still, that there's nothing I put in there
- 32:27Speaker 1: that like, Oh no, I don't want that to happen anymore.
- 32:30Speaker 1: then I can just flip through it and look through
- 32:31Speaker 1: sigils from years ago and reactivate them, even though I
- 32:34Speaker 1: don't consciously remember what they were for. And I think
- 32:38Speaker 1: that's a lot of fun, because then a bunch of
- 32:40Speaker 1: weird shit will start happening in your life if you
- 32:41Speaker 1: just start looking through your old sigils, because you reactivate
- 32:44Speaker 1: them in your subconscious, even if you don't consciously remember
- 32:47Speaker 1: what they're for.
- 32:47Speaker 2: For sure. Oh, yeah.
- 32:49Speaker 1: So you have to be careful. Again, this is why
- 32:50Speaker 1: your statement of intent is very, very important to get
- 32:52Speaker 1: it right. Right? Yeah. And then, I'm so sorry I lost,
- 32:58Speaker 1: but we were just talking about, like, methods of activation
- 33:01Speaker 1: or was i just thinking about that i.
- 33:04Speaker 4: Think that came to town but actually it's part of
- 33:06Speaker 4: the process.
- 33:07Speaker 1: Though well you can see the ritual thing right like
- 33:09Speaker 1: okay this is what i was thinking about it's because
- 33:12Speaker 1: sometimes i do that but sometimes i'll burn a sigil
- 33:15Speaker 1: if i burn it i don't put it in a
- 33:16Speaker 1: diary and if i if i burn it then i'm
- 33:19Speaker 1: just doing something different like i do all these different
- 33:21Speaker 1: things for different reasons um And, you know, you can
- 33:26Speaker 1: put a drop of blood on a sigil to activate it.
- 33:28Speaker 1: You could put it in a diary and look at
- 33:29Speaker 1: it again. You could hide it somewhere in your house
- 33:32Speaker 1: where you occasionally see it, but not really. That's another
- 33:34Speaker 1: method that works. You could bury it under a full moon.
- 33:37Speaker 1: You could, you know, you could get weird and sexual
- 33:41Speaker 1: with it like Jack Parsons. You know, you could do that.
- 33:45Speaker 3: Right.
- 33:46Speaker 1: But I don't think any are better than the other.
- 33:48Speaker 1: But I have a funny story about this because my
- 33:50Speaker 1: ex-girlfriend died. who's just, you know, a very funny person, um,
- 33:56Speaker 1: would make a sigil and then eat it. And that
- 33:59Speaker 1: shit worked really well. But clearly there's no one correct.
- 34:08Speaker 2: Oh no, I don't think so either. No, no.
- 34:13Speaker 3: You have me thinking about, uh, yeah, the sigils. When, um, Judith,
- 34:19Speaker 3: when you used to, uh, I was assuming with you, like.
- 34:23Speaker 2: How did you, did you ever get rid of yours? Like,
- 34:24Speaker 2: did you burn them or like, what'd you do? Like,
- 34:26Speaker 2: how'd you, like when you were done? Um, I think
- 34:29Speaker 2: you might've mentioned it before.
- 34:31Speaker 4: Any, anything that, that I, that I didn't want to
- 34:34Speaker 4: keep going on and on and on forever. Yeah.
- 34:37Speaker 5: They got burnt.
- 34:38Speaker 4: Burning is the best way. Uh, I do have a
- 34:42Speaker 4: social book and I don't even know where it is
- 34:45Speaker 4: at this point, but, uh, I, uh, I don't reactivate them.
- 34:51Speaker 4: At least I try not to. That's probably why I
- 34:52Speaker 4: don't know where the book is. Um, but it's usually
- 34:56Speaker 4: a one shot deal for me. I don't like things
- 34:59Speaker 4: cause like your, your, your intent change in time. I
- 35:02Speaker 4: like to keep that where, all right, I had enough
- 35:05Speaker 4: of this. We were, we're, we're good where we are
- 35:08Speaker 4: type of thing. Um, so for activation ritual, And energy.
- 35:16Speaker 4: I like the full moon. It's my best friend.
- 35:19Speaker 2: Yeah, that was another thing, too.
- 35:22Speaker 3: I don't think, again, you know, I think when it
- 35:24Speaker 3: came to, like, using, like, the magical squares or if
- 35:26Speaker 3: I was using a ceremonial system or whatever, I would
- 35:29Speaker 3: always normally kind of include the moon, obviously, if I
- 35:32Speaker 3: was waxing and waning. Again, I wouldn't necessarily have to
- 35:36Speaker 3: worry about that.
- 35:37Speaker 2: If I did it the other way. I would maybe
- 35:40Speaker 2: take it into consideration, but again, if it's something I'm
- 35:42Speaker 2: thinking I should do today or tomorrow, I guess I
- 35:45Speaker 2: got to work around the moon.
- 35:49Speaker 4: I think I like sigils more too when it comes
- 35:52Speaker 4: to practice because.
- 35:55Speaker 5: It causes you to slow down. We are impulse people. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 36:03Speaker 4: And whatever method you use to either create it and
- 36:08Speaker 4: charge it The timing has to be right. It has
- 36:12Speaker 4: to be under the right planet or the right moon
- 36:15Speaker 4: or the right zodiac sign, depending. And if you don't have...
- 36:21Speaker 4: This is my earmark. If I don't have the patience
- 36:24Speaker 4: to wait, it's not worth doing. Mm-hmm.
- 36:30Speaker 1: Or just do it right. I mean, like, with the
- 36:33Speaker 1: moon phases, for example, the moon signs, if your intent
- 36:38Speaker 1: with your sigil... is very like action oriented and you're
- 36:45Speaker 1: doing it under a cancer full moon. Like, I don't
- 36:48Speaker 1: know if that's going to work out so well, you
- 36:49Speaker 1: know what I mean? Or, you know, a water, maybe
- 36:52Speaker 1: any water sign because they're, because they're introverted, not extroverted,
- 36:56Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean you can't just make the sigil
- 36:57Speaker 1: and burn it right that second. Just don't wait for
- 36:59Speaker 1: the moon. Do it a different way. But if you can,
- 37:02Speaker 1: if you happen to have a full moon, let's say
- 37:06Speaker 1: in Aries, um, when you want to do something, it's
- 37:08Speaker 1: very action oriented. Great. Do that. Like wait, wait a day,
- 37:11Speaker 1: but I'm not going to fucking wait six months to
- 37:13Speaker 1: do spells waiting for the moon to be in the
- 37:16Speaker 1: right phase. I'm never going to do that.
- 37:18Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, if you probably really knew what the
- 37:20Speaker 3: hell you were doing with astrology, like I'm, I'm sure
- 37:23Speaker 3: there'd be even ways of probably working around. You might
- 37:26Speaker 3: even realize like somehow it doesn't even matter what that
- 37:28Speaker 3: moon is saying.
- 37:29Speaker 2: The stars are aligned regardless. You know what I'm saying?
- 37:32Speaker 2: You have no idea. One thing I did want to ask, too,
- 37:36Speaker 2: and I guess.
- 37:38Speaker 3: That's probably why I was wondering, like, if you kept
- 37:40Speaker 3: them or not, Judith, or if you got rid of them. Anyway,
- 37:42Speaker 3: I got rid of a lot of mine for the
- 37:44Speaker 3: most part, too. But, you know, there is, I kind
- 37:48Speaker 3: of mentioned in the first episode, in the introduction, and
- 37:51Speaker 3: I did want to get your ideas on if you
- 37:54Speaker 3: think this stuff actually works. But, you know, there was
- 37:58Speaker 3: the Ars Notoria, and then Giordano Bruno had some memory systems.
- 38:02Speaker 3: And the Osnotoria was like these, they were kind of
- 38:05Speaker 3: like sigils or symbols. I mean, almost the same thing.
- 38:10Speaker 3: And you would pretty much like meditate on them. And
- 38:12Speaker 3: I think they had either rituals that went with them
- 38:14Speaker 3: or meditations or whatever. But eventually it was supposed to
- 38:17Speaker 3: give you knowledge and help, you know, divine knowledge or
- 38:20Speaker 3: memory or this and that. And then Giordano Bruno specifically
- 38:24Speaker 3: had a disc. that had like all these different symbols
- 38:27Speaker 3: and sigils on it that.
- 38:29Speaker 2: You would go through.
- 38:30Speaker 3: And I think he said after like 90 days, your
- 38:33Speaker 3: memory would be like ridiculously different. And supposedly he proved
- 38:38Speaker 3: it to some king. I forgot who it is by now.
- 38:41Speaker 3: I'd have to go back and listen to my own show.
- 38:43Speaker 3: But he supposedly, I think like they said, that he
- 38:47Speaker 3: pretty much had like almost an encyclopedia type of memory.
- 38:52Speaker 2: They said they'd never see.
- 38:53Speaker 3: He had to actually convince them It was natural magic
- 38:57Speaker 3: because it actually was kind of frightening to them. That
- 38:59Speaker 3: was still back in the day when if you said
- 39:01Speaker 3: this was natural magic, they weren't going to burn you
- 39:03Speaker 3: at the stake.
- 39:04Speaker 2: Unfortunately, it's Giordano Bruno. We know what happened. He got
- 39:07Speaker 2: burned anyway, but he escaped that one.
- 39:10Speaker 3: But supposedly that shit worked. And I was even mentioning
- 39:14Speaker 3: before how there is known that curves, I get it,
- 39:19Speaker 3: kind of people like that against beauty or whatever, and
- 39:21Speaker 3: then certain angles or whatever can cause different feelings. do
- 39:26Speaker 3: you think that there you think you can actually like
- 39:29Speaker 3: it says stuff that will like if you stare at
- 39:31Speaker 3: or even make it yourself stare at it it can
- 39:33Speaker 3: actually really affect your subconscious that much if it's like
- 39:36Speaker 3: a yes.
- 39:39Speaker 4: But I think that this prep work for that though
- 39:42Speaker 4: you don't think that you would have to you would
- 39:44Speaker 4: have to.
- 39:47Speaker 5: How can I say It's.
- 39:48Speaker 4: Like you would have to train that muscle that this
- 39:51Speaker 4: means this to automatically cause that automatic response.
- 39:55Speaker 5: That's what I feel. I see that look, Sunray.
- 39:59Speaker 1: I don't think you're wrong. I wonder, though. I'll tell
- 40:01Speaker 1: you why I wonder. You know where mama and dada
- 40:06Speaker 1: come from? The words that every baby says first? They're
- 40:10Speaker 1: the Sumerian words for mother and father. Literally. You were
- 40:16Speaker 1: born speaking Sumerian You have a tremendous amount of information,
- 40:22Speaker 1: genetic memory, in your DNA. You don't know how you know,
- 40:25Speaker 1: but there's things you just know. That's true. And so
- 40:29Speaker 1: that's our ancestral history. And we've been doing this for
- 40:33Speaker 1: way longer than anyone knows. Because Gobekli Tepe fucks everything up.
- 40:37Speaker 1: Sumeria was not the first civilization. And we have no
- 40:42Speaker 1: idea how far back our history actually goes. Yeah. What
- 40:46Speaker 1: if it goes back? I mean, I know I'm getting
- 40:49Speaker 1: into some really fringe shit here, Graham Hancock type stuff.
- 40:52Speaker 1: But what if it goes back a million years? What
- 40:54Speaker 1: if human beings are way fucking older than we think
- 40:56Speaker 1: we are?
- 40:57Speaker 4: Right.
- 40:57Speaker 1: And so how much genetic memory is in you? And
- 41:01Speaker 1: if there's memories of language that exists within you. then
- 41:06Speaker 1: there could be memories of symbols. But also, on top
- 41:09Speaker 1: of that, what if there's just mathematical geometric shapes that
- 41:14Speaker 1: affect you? So we were talking about the pentagram. The
- 41:16Speaker 1: pentagram has a psychological effect on people, and it's based
- 41:19Speaker 1: on math that they probably don't know. Gross.
- 41:22Speaker 2: Most people in the.
- 41:23Speaker 1: World don't understand the golden ratio, and yet when they
- 41:26Speaker 1: see it, they're like, oh, that's beautiful. Why is that, right?
- 41:31Speaker 1: But what if there's other particular shapes that just have
- 41:34Speaker 1: an effect on your psyche? I think that's, I'm not
- 41:36Speaker 1: saying I think it's true. I'm saying, I think it's possible.
- 41:38Speaker 2: Maybe a cross too.
- 41:40Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 41:41Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 41:42Speaker 1: Right. And certain ships, especially the simple ones definitely have
- 41:46Speaker 1: an effect, right? Like, let's just think about an X.
- 41:50Speaker 1: An X has a psychological effect on people. It means
- 41:52Speaker 1: don't go there. It's kind of, it's pretty universal. You know,
- 41:56Speaker 1: it's like a warning.
- 41:58Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 41:58Speaker 3: Like everything coming to a corner.
- 42:01Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 42:02Speaker 1: That's very true. That do something to us, but how
- 42:07Speaker 1: complex would the shape have to be? How, or how
- 42:10Speaker 1: simple would it have to be or how precise? I
- 42:12Speaker 1: don't know the answers to any of this. I'm just saying,
- 42:15Speaker 1: I think it's weirdly possible.
- 42:18Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
- 42:19Speaker 3: You know, uh, I, you know, not thinking about the
- 42:23Speaker 3: whole DNA thing, but that does to me, that doesn't
- 42:25Speaker 3: make a whole lot of sense. And looking at how
- 42:27Speaker 3: I've looked at DNA, assuming that, that we probably do
- 42:31Speaker 3: have some maybe stuff in us that we haven't turned
- 42:35Speaker 3: on or remembered because of our past. I would have
- 42:38Speaker 3: to say, I guess, how would sigils or images that
- 42:41Speaker 3: have been around for thousands of years not do that
- 42:44Speaker 3: for us, too?
- 42:45Speaker 2: Like, especially, what if we were into this shit in
- 42:47Speaker 2: prior lives?
- 42:48Speaker 1: Right.
- 42:49Speaker 2: And we're looking at the symbol again. That's true.
- 42:52Speaker 1: So, for example, this is kind of... I don't know
- 42:55Speaker 1: how I feel about the whole past lives thing. I
- 42:57Speaker 1: think there's something real there, but I think we get
- 42:59Speaker 1: it kind of weirdly wrong a lot too. I don't know.
- 43:00Speaker 1: I don't want to get into it, but I will
- 43:02Speaker 1: tell you, I was born with unequivocally born with a ridiculous,
- 43:09Speaker 1: irrational fear of sharks. I hate water. I thought when
- 43:13Speaker 1: I was a kid, I was convinced there was a
- 43:14Speaker 1: shark in the swimming pool. I would not get in.
- 43:17Speaker 1: I knew like my rational mind knows there's no shark.
- 43:20Speaker 1: But what experience in a past life did I have
- 43:22Speaker 1: that made me so fucking terrified of sharks? I have
- 43:24Speaker 1: no reason to be scared of sharks the way that
- 43:26Speaker 1: I am. They freaked me out even seeing a picture
- 43:29Speaker 1: of a shark freaks me out. It's totally irrational. Where
- 43:33Speaker 1: does that come from?
- 43:36Speaker 5: So that actually brings down a little rabbit hole that
- 43:42Speaker 5: I'm just going to speculate.
- 43:43Speaker 4: With, but What if when we are creating these sigils,
- 43:47Speaker 4: we're not creating them, we're remembering them?
- 43:50Speaker 2: Yo, I've thought that too, for sure.
- 43:55Speaker 1: Yeah. What if what we're drawing in a sigil is
- 43:58Speaker 1: a constellation? We have absolutely no idea.
- 44:02Speaker 2: One day they're going to unearth some shit that's like 30,000
- 44:05Speaker 2: years ago and it's going to have that S-shaped thing
- 44:07Speaker 2: that we used to draw in school on our fucking textbooks.
- 44:10Speaker 2: We're like, fuck, that's why we were all drawing that
- 44:17Speaker 2: shit at the same time.
- 44:17Speaker 1: My kid's history homework.
- 44:19Speaker 2: Yo, fuck. Yes. Yes.
- 44:23Speaker 1: Where did he pick this up?
- 44:25Speaker 2: I didn't do that.
- 44:26Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? But like when you were
- 44:29Speaker 1: 10 years old, you would draw that shit no matter what.
- 44:32Speaker 2: Yo, that is fucking awesome.
- 44:34Speaker 5: No matter where you're from, too. You will find the
- 44:39Speaker 5: homework or the school paper with that S.
- 44:41Speaker 1: But it gets even weirder. It gets much weirder because
- 44:45Speaker 1: when we were all young, this was a brand. It
- 44:47Speaker 1: was Stussy. You remember that?
- 44:49Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 44:49Speaker 1: That brand does not exist anymore. This is my 10-year-old's homework.
- 44:53Speaker 1: He's never heard of that brand. Never. Wow.
- 44:56Speaker 2: I didn't even know it came from Stussy at first.
- 44:58Speaker 2: I mean, I do the brands. I was probably done with, like,
- 45:01Speaker 2: drawing that when I knew of the brand.
- 45:03Speaker 1: Dude, what if this is it? What if this is, like,
- 45:05Speaker 1: the ultimate glyph? Like, this is the fucking master symbol
- 45:08Speaker 1: right here.
- 45:09Speaker 4: Oh, my.
- 45:12Speaker 2: God.
- 45:13Speaker 4: But that could be true coming how we unconsciously all
- 45:16Speaker 4: know it through the generations.
- 45:17Speaker 2: Yeah, that's, like, one of the strongest glyphs out there, right?
- 45:21Speaker 2: Holy shit. The amount of schools that thing's infiltrated. Right?
- 45:31Speaker 4: And it goes through the genres. You could be the outcast.
- 45:36Speaker 4: You could be the brainiac kid. You could be the jock,
- 45:40Speaker 4: and you still had that on your paper.
- 45:43Speaker 2: Yo, right? Yeah, that is true, too. It really had
- 45:47Speaker 2: nothing to do with it. It was very inclusive. Oh, wow.
- 45:59Speaker 2: That is so fucking funny, though. Like, everybody. It didn't matter. Like,
- 46:04Speaker 2: you could have been pumping, like, Snoop Dogg in your
- 46:06Speaker 2: head or Radiohead in the other kid's ears, and you
- 46:09Speaker 2: both could have been throwing the same shit. That is awesome.
- 46:14Speaker 2: That is wild. That's funny.
- 46:16Speaker 1: That was a good one. Seriously, it's wild, though.
- 46:19Speaker 2: It's crazy how you just pulled it out to him
- 46:21Speaker 2: like oh.
- 46:22Speaker 1: Yep another one though this happens with language too right
- 46:25Speaker 1: and they did it i don't remember who did this
- 46:27Speaker 1: study it's many years old now but all over the
- 46:30Speaker 1: world all children no matter what language you speak do
- 46:33Speaker 1: one same thing every fucking kid in the world does
- 46:37Speaker 1: that no matter what language and it does it has
- 46:42Speaker 1: an effect it has a psychological effect it means haha
- 46:44Speaker 1: i'm laughing at you right no matter what that is
- 46:48Speaker 1: true And it's a sound.
- 46:51Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 46:52Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 46:53Speaker 1: Wow.
- 46:54Speaker 2: That is interesting.
- 46:57Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. There are sounds, colors, and shapes that have deep
- 47:02Speaker 1: psychological effects on us that we don't understand, that seem
- 47:05Speaker 1: to be universal.
- 47:07Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 47:08Speaker 2: And then we, not even knowing, use them and put
- 47:11Speaker 2: them out there ourselves.
- 47:13Speaker 1: Yeah, and we just use them naturally. Like, it's just
- 47:15Speaker 1: the most natural thing to do this, right?
- 47:17Speaker 4: Right.
- 47:18Speaker 1: To draw these shapes or make these sounds, we don't
- 47:20Speaker 1: know where they came from at all.
- 47:24Speaker 2: Just the implications of putting a circle.
- 47:26Speaker 1: Around a symbol. It does sound funny, but I would
- 47:29Speaker 1: not be surprised. Again, I would absolutely not be shocked
- 47:32Speaker 1: if we do find this, like in ancient Egypt. I
- 47:36Speaker 1: would honestly just not be surprised. I don't think we will,
- 47:40Speaker 1: but I would be like, okay, that makes sense.
- 47:44Speaker 2: That's why they don't let us go back in there.
- 47:46Speaker 2: They've been like real crazy. They've been real crazy.
- 47:48Speaker 1: That's what they're fucking hiding.
- 47:49Speaker 2: Yeah, they're hiding that. Fuck.
- 47:53Speaker 4: Since we're talking about sigils, I have a question and
- 47:56Speaker 4: someone brought something up.
- 47:57Speaker 2: Sure.
- 47:58Speaker 5: Nick, you'll appreciate this.
- 48:01Speaker 4: So do you believe someone brought up the graffiti and
- 48:05Speaker 4: the tagging that happened in the 70s and the 80s
- 48:08Speaker 4: on our subway cars and on our walls here? Could
- 48:12Speaker 4: that have been like a subconscious way of like these
- 48:15Speaker 4: kids back in the day creating their own sigils?
- 48:20Speaker 2: Totally.
- 48:20Speaker 1: Totally.
- 48:21Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 48:22Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 48:23Speaker 2: I think so. I mean, if we really start to
- 48:26Speaker 2: think about it, I mean, if you really kind of
- 48:28Speaker 2: look at what they're trying to do, I do think
- 48:30Speaker 2: it kind of fits.
- 48:31Speaker 3: It just, you know, they're just not looking at it
- 48:33Speaker 3: in the same system we are. Like, I'll even say, like,
- 48:36Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys even know who he is.
- 48:38Speaker 3: Frankie Bones, he was a DJ. Very, very famous techno DJ.
- 48:41Speaker 3: He kind of brought the rave scene into.
- 48:45Speaker 2: New York.
- 48:46Speaker 3: And he admits that he used to tag all the time.
- 48:50Speaker 2: And it was just so people knew who the fuck
- 48:52Speaker 2: his name was. He said he would tag the trains,
- 48:55Speaker 2: he would tag places, everything.
- 48:57Speaker 1: Frankie was here.
- 48:59Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was just like, you know, it was
- 49:02Speaker 2: a way of... kind of, I guess, putting a stamp
- 49:05Speaker 2: out there. Yeah. I mean, I've even noticed, as silly
- 49:09Speaker 2: as it is, it's fucking weird, dude. I actually saw,
- 49:13Speaker 2: I wish I remember it, but it was like a
- 49:15Speaker 2: sticker that I saw in New York. I saw the
- 49:19Speaker 2: same motherfucker over in Italy. Because I had these like
- 49:25Speaker 2: stickers made to advertise the podcast.
- 49:28Speaker 3: You know, those ones that you kind of like people
- 49:30Speaker 3: like kind of basically tag with. They'll use stickers to
- 49:32Speaker 3: tag with.
- 49:33Speaker 2: And so, yeah, I'm being a lowlife, and sometimes I'll
- 49:36Speaker 2: go out, and I'll take some stickers with me, and
- 49:37Speaker 2: I'll throw them in a couple of pocket lots when
- 49:39Speaker 2: I go out. I'm like, fuck it. Who cares? I'm
- 49:40Speaker 2: going to be a degenerate today. And sometimes since I've
- 49:45Speaker 2: been doing that, I've started noticing, like, a lot of
- 49:48Speaker 2: the same ones. And some of them are very interesting.
- 49:53Speaker 2: I've seen some with legit, like, symbolism on them. So
- 49:57Speaker 2: I've even wondered, like, or even some of, like, Sometimes
- 50:02Speaker 2: I've even wondered some of these like tags that I've
- 50:04Speaker 2: seen done with stickers. Is that even like somebody kind
- 50:07Speaker 2: of like putting something out there? I've even wanted to
- 50:10Speaker 2: tell you the truth, not to get conspiratorial, but there's
- 50:14Speaker 2: been some that I've seen that I was like, is
- 50:16Speaker 2: this kind of marking this area to be like kind
- 50:19Speaker 2: of go ahead for some creepster or something?
- 50:22Speaker 3: You know, very weird shit like that. Or you see
- 50:25Speaker 3: like slapped up on like the walls of bodegas.
- 50:28Speaker 2: And you just wonder, like, is somebody leaving a mark
- 50:30Speaker 2: for somebody who has the ID? Absolutely.
- 50:32Speaker 1: Not to say that that's definitely what the thing is.
- 50:35Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do people do that?
- 50:37Speaker 1: Absolutely.
- 50:38Speaker 2: And I've just noticed this all now because of me
- 50:42Speaker 2: just throwing up a few.
- 50:43Speaker 3: I was like, yo, there's like some whole culture with
- 50:46Speaker 3: throwing up stickers. Fucking weird, man. Yeah, that's what I
- 50:50Speaker 3: was saying. There was somebody in New York that I
- 50:52Speaker 3: had seen. And I was over in Italy. I think
- 50:55Speaker 3: I was in Venice and I was walking down the street.
- 50:57Speaker 3: I was with my ex-wife at the time. I was like, oh,
- 50:59Speaker 3: hold up. And I looked down like there was a
- 51:01Speaker 3: side street and like on the, like some like panel
- 51:03Speaker 3: on the wall.
- 51:04Speaker 2: I was like, get the fuck out of here. I
- 51:05Speaker 2: had to take a picture of it. I was like, yo,
- 51:08Speaker 2: I've seen this.
- 51:09Speaker 1: In New York.
- 51:11Speaker 3: And she was like, well, I guess technically if you
- 51:14Speaker 3: would have brought a sticker of yours and left it here,
- 51:16Speaker 3: you could say the same thing about you.
- 51:17Speaker 2: I was like, fuck, you're right.
- 51:21Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 51:23Speaker 2: But I was like, what the fuck is the odds
- 51:25Speaker 2: of that?
- 51:27Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 51:27Speaker 2: So, I mean, weird. And I don't even know what
- 51:29Speaker 2: the fuck it means. It was like, it was just
- 51:32Speaker 2: like a symbol on a sticker. I was like, well, yeah.
- 51:37Speaker 2: Very weird shit.
- 51:38Speaker 1: Things have a way of sticking in your subconscious where you,
- 51:42Speaker 1: and like, okay, and here's an idea, right? The entire
- 51:44Speaker 1: idea of something being memetic is that it's self-replicating, right?
- 51:49Speaker 1: So something sticks in your mind, The S is the
- 51:53Speaker 1: perfect example of this. You would just, you were compelled
- 51:57Speaker 1: by some outside fucking force to replicate it over and
- 52:02Speaker 1: over and over and over again.
- 52:04Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 52:05Speaker 1: How many times did you draw that S when you
- 52:07Speaker 1: were a kid? Oh, yeah.
- 52:08Speaker 5: Oh, gosh.
- 52:10Speaker 1: Why do we do that? It's like you can't help it.
- 52:13Speaker 1: You have to draw it. So what's compelling us to
- 52:16Speaker 1: do that?
- 52:18Speaker 2: Yeah, that is interesting because you could even start doing
- 52:20Speaker 2: it and not even realize it.
- 52:22Speaker 4: Which actually brings up another question.
- 52:26Speaker 5: Is it a form of hypnotism?
- 52:30Speaker 4: Are we hypnotizing ourselves to get that outcome with a sigil?
- 52:36Speaker 1: Or is the symbol alive and is using you to
- 52:40Speaker 1: replicate itself?
- 52:41Speaker 5: That's a whole different iceberg you want to go down.
- 52:43Speaker 2: That's a whole different iceberg you want to go down.
- 52:48Speaker 4: Well, the sad thing about it, if we follow the
- 52:50Speaker 4: theory of DNA and we're remembering.
- 52:53Speaker 5: It, then you have to say who's leading who.
- 52:59Speaker 1: Yeah. That's interesting. Well, think, think about, um, what's that,
- 53:07Speaker 1: that fucking cat disease.
- 53:09Speaker 2: Um, I think, you know, you get some bacteria from
- 53:16Speaker 2: them or some shit like that.
- 53:17Speaker 1: Yeah, it's something plasmosis.
- 53:19Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 53:21Speaker 1: One second, let me read it. It is.
- 53:28Speaker 1: Well, that's not what I'm fucking looking for. Okay, well,
- 53:32Speaker 1: you know what you guys know what I'm talking about.
- 53:34Speaker 1: It's tryptoplasmosis or something like that. Someone just put it up. Okay,
- 53:40Speaker 1: what is it? What does it say?
- 53:43Speaker 5: I can't even pronounce those words.
- 53:46Speaker 2: Toxoplasmosis. Yeah.
- 53:48Speaker 1: Yes. Toxoplasmosis. Okay. So, toxoplasmosis is a living organism that
- 53:55Speaker 1: can only replicate itself inside the stomach of a cat.
- 53:58Speaker 1: But it can't infect the cat directly, so it infects
- 54:01Speaker 1: the rat. infects mice and rats, and changes their brain
- 54:05Speaker 1: chemistry to make them sexually attracted to cats so that
- 54:08Speaker 1: they will go bother the cat. The cat then eats
- 54:10Speaker 1: the rat or the mouse, and then the toxoplasmosis can
- 54:14Speaker 1: replicate itself. That's how smart that organism is.
- 54:19Speaker 5: That's kind of scary.
- 54:20Speaker 1: It's terrifying. And there's many, many organisms that do this, right?
- 54:25Speaker 1: So there's... I'm not a scientist. I just want to
- 54:28Speaker 1: remind people that I'm just a dude who reads shit, but.
- 54:32Speaker 1: If you, for example, have certain blood-borne illnesses, you are
- 54:36Speaker 1: statistically more likely to die a bloody death so that
- 54:39Speaker 1: it can spread itself. If you have syphilis, you become hypersexual,
- 54:42Speaker 1: so the syphilis wants to spread itself. Not you. It's
- 54:48Speaker 1: the thing in you that's hijacking your brain. So why
- 54:52Speaker 1: would we think that a symbol can't do that also?
- 54:57Speaker 1: There's another one that everyone has, but I've got it.
- 55:00Speaker 1: We probably all, maybe Nick, not you, but I've certainly
- 55:02Speaker 1: got it. There's a gut bacteria that just craves sugar.
- 55:06Speaker 2: It's not you.
- 55:07Speaker 1: It's not me that craves sugar. It's the bacteria in
- 55:10Speaker 1: my stomach that's telling my brain, you really want to
- 55:14Speaker 1: fucking slurpee right now.
- 55:15Speaker 2: That could even happen with salt.
- 55:17Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely.
- 55:18Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 55:20Speaker 4: Right?
- 55:21Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't know that until a few years ago.
- 55:22Speaker 1: My buddy, who's a mycologist, is always talking about this.
- 55:24Speaker 1: He says, like, you know what's fucked up? And he
- 55:25Speaker 1: says this to me, and I'm like, dude, please don't
- 55:27Speaker 1: say that to me. He's like, you're scaring the shit
- 55:29Speaker 1: out of me. Because he's a real scientist. And he's like,
- 55:31Speaker 1: it's not that you are what you eat. You are
- 55:34Speaker 1: what's eating you.
- 55:38Speaker 2: That's wild.
- 55:40Speaker 5: That hit kind of hard for me right now because.
- 55:43Speaker 1: Of my age. And then, wait, wait, wait, it gets worse.
- 55:46Speaker 1: Then we can start to talk about the djinn. you know,
- 55:52Speaker 1: the djinn, which are very comparable to the spirits of Galatia,
- 55:55Speaker 1: by the way. There's a lot of correlations there. But
- 55:58Speaker 1: there's certain ancient writings that equate the djinn to parasites
- 56:05Speaker 1: and bacteria, which are these things that hijack your brain. Right?
- 56:11Speaker 1: So you have particular parasites or bacteria in your body.
- 56:14Speaker 1: They're telling you to perform certain behaviors like we were
- 56:17Speaker 1: just talking about, right?
- 56:19Speaker 2: So.
- 56:20Speaker 1: Why couldn't the symbol do this also?
- 56:26Speaker 2: I believe that. Right?
- 56:28Speaker 5: Expiration dates are good.
- 56:31Speaker 1: Right? Sorry. Yeah, seriously. This is shit. This is the
- 56:37Speaker 1: problem with reading so much. I don't want to know
- 56:40Speaker 1: this stuff. I do, and I really... Sometimes you learn something,
- 56:44Speaker 1: and you can never unlearn it.
- 56:48Speaker 4: But you know that it but when you, when you're
- 56:50Speaker 4: doing magic, you have to think like this. I never
- 56:55Speaker 4: thought about is the sigil, is the sigils what ruling
- 57:00Speaker 4: you or are you telling it what to do?
- 57:02Speaker 1: Yeah. And you know, okay. To be fair, you, you
- 57:05Speaker 1: don't have to think like this. It's fun for those
- 57:08Speaker 1: of us who do, but for, I think a lot
- 57:10Speaker 1: of the fun of magic for a lot of people
- 57:12Speaker 1: in this, we'll come right back to sigils. Is that
- 57:14Speaker 1: for people who just like get a book of spells
- 57:17Speaker 1: or whatever, and they're like, if you do this, this
- 57:20Speaker 1: will happen. And they don't want to think any deeper
- 57:24Speaker 1: into it than that. There's nothing wrong with that.
- 57:27Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 57:28Speaker 1: Like, there's nothing wrong with being told, hey, if you
- 57:30Speaker 1: carry around a piece of rose quartz, you might end
- 57:32Speaker 1: up with a new romantic partner soon. Somebody's like, oh, yeah, really?
- 57:35Speaker 1: And so they do it, and it works. They don't
- 57:37Speaker 1: need to get into the fucking science of it. That's me.
- 57:40Speaker 1: I'm weird. I like to know how things work. But
- 57:43Speaker 1: there's an argument to be made that if you don't
- 57:46Speaker 1: know how it works, that might actually be a benefit
- 57:48Speaker 1: to you because it retains the mystic qualities of it.
- 57:54Speaker 3: Okay.
- 57:56Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
- 57:57Speaker 5: For a lot of people, yes.
- 57:58Speaker 1: But not for me. I need to know how it
- 58:00Speaker 1: works or I go crazy. But I understand not needing
- 58:05Speaker 1: to know, and I'm kind of envious of it sometimes.
- 58:08Speaker 2: Oh, that, yeah.
- 58:09Speaker 4: Especially the most recent rabbit hole you just opened up.
- 58:17Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 58:17Speaker 2: I like figuring shit out now.
- 58:26Speaker 1: Even though I'm probably wrong about absolutely everything, I'm at
- 58:28Speaker 1: least trying to figure shit out.
- 58:32Speaker 4: In a year or so, we're going to be talking
- 58:35Speaker 4: again and we're going to be like, Sanre, you remember?
- 58:37Speaker 5: They just proved your theory.
- 58:41Speaker 1: I do enjoy that. I enjoy that a lot, actually,
- 58:44Speaker 1: when I hear someone much smarter than me talking about
- 58:48Speaker 1: this stuff and I'm like, ah, they said the same
- 58:50Speaker 1: thing I said. Oh, yeah.
- 58:53Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's fun. Yeah. It's like, oh, okay,
- 58:56Speaker 2: I'm not the only person with that idea.
- 58:59Speaker 1: I was talking to, or I was watching the Y-Files recently,
- 59:04Speaker 1: and on their podcast they had this dude who's absolutely amazing, Uh, Nick,
- 59:08Speaker 1: I'll tell you about him later. His name's, um, Brian Lathe,
- 59:11Speaker 1: paranormal investigator with a PhD. Oh, and I'm listening to him.
- 59:16Speaker 1: I'm like, Oh my God, I got to get this
- 59:18Speaker 1: guy on my show. So I messaged him. I mean,
- 59:19Speaker 1: you know, he's going to get him on the order
- 59:20Speaker 1: of chaos podcast at some point, but like so much
- 59:25Speaker 1: of what he said was like, Oh my God, I
- 59:26Speaker 1: think that too.
- 59:27Speaker 5: That's so cool.
- 59:28Speaker 2: That is awesome. I really think the paranormal community could
- 59:32Speaker 2: really benefit from getting into occultism or whatever you want
- 59:37Speaker 2: to call it, magic.
- 59:39Speaker 3: Not even so much practicing, maybe just kind of at
- 59:41Speaker 3: least reading other theories or some shit.
- 59:46Speaker 1: I think the paranormal... See, this is the thing, right?
- 59:49Speaker 1: This dude... again, his name is Brian Laith, and he
- 59:51Speaker 1: was recently on the Y-Files, and it was mind-blowing to
- 59:53Speaker 1: listen to him talk, is the fucking opposite of Ghost Bros.
- 59:58Speaker 1: Because you know what? I mean, the fucking thing, the
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: whole paranormal research needs to be labeled what it actually is,
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: which is paranormal entertainment.
- 1:00:06Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: But this guy, Brian Laith, is doing paranormal research.
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: That is a big difference. That actually is a huge difference,
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: because there's no research going on, like you said, yeah.
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: No. You know what's funny?
- 1:00:23Speaker 3: I've even watched some of these newest shows, and it's
- 1:00:27Speaker 3: like you're watching it, and all of a sudden it ends,
- 1:00:29Speaker 3: and I'm like, wait, so there was like, no, let's
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: review the evidence at all even for this.
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: No.
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: They stopped faking it. That was just... Wow, okay.
- 1:00:42Speaker 5: Samra, I did want to bring.
- 1:00:43Speaker 4: You brought up the Y-Files, and I do actually watch
- 1:00:46Speaker 4: that podcast, and he's had a lot of people there
- 1:00:52Speaker 4: who like scientists, like people with books, people, and they
- 1:00:57Speaker 4: keep referencing certain things within the occult. And I'm sitting
- 1:01:00Speaker 4: there like we are on the brink of a new
- 1:01:03Speaker 4: scientific breakthrough. That's going to prove magic to be scientifically true.
- 1:01:08Speaker 5: It's what we're right there.
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: It's going to happen within our lifetimes. That's what I'm saying.
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: I'm not a scientist. My book, I hope that I
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: got pretty close. Because we're talking about things we don't
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: have proof of yet. We don't know which model of
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: quantum physics is correct. We don't know. But what if
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: we figured out? And all I wanted to do with
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: my book is try and push things further in that direction.
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: Really try to look at this from a more grounded,
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: less supernatural perspective.
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: I think 10 years from now, if people were to
- 1:01:44Speaker 3: look at your book, they'd be like, yo, this guy
- 1:01:46Speaker 3: was ahead of his time.
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: Even 10 or 15 years from now.
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: Yeah. Totally. Or he was looking in the same direction.
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: Because I do think within the next 10, 15 years,
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: I do think there will be a lot more, even
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: with science and paranormal community, I think understanding of magic, actually.
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: Well, you know, I was thinking about this earlier because
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: I saw Sabine Hosenfelder put up a video about how,
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: you know, at the Large Hadron Collider, they may have
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: finally found evidence of quantum gravity. And it was in
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: a photon, right? And I'm like, okay, so there's certain
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: things that we don't know about how our reality works.
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: And it takes a $ 80 billion machine to figure them out. Well,
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: a lot of paranormal and psychic phenomena is also unfortunately
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: going to take an $ 80 billion investment to really figure
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: it out. But no one's going to make that investment.
- 1:02:38Speaker 5: That's true.
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: They already did and they're hiding it from us.
- 1:02:43Speaker 4: There's also the chance that it might be something that
- 1:02:45Speaker 4: they accidentally stumble into while they're investigating all these other things.
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: Yeah but I mean to prove it in a lab
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: though is going to be so hard because it's just
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: like the way that my brain creates psychic effects is
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: different from yours and yours and his and hers and
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah right it's not going to be
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: some thing that you can test reliably and get the
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: same result every time which is how the scientific method
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: works well this falls like paranormal psychic phenomenon is at
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: odds with the scientific method but that doesn't mean it's
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: not real.
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: True No, I agree with that.
- 1:03:27Speaker 3: I mean, even Crowley, I forgot the exact phrase, but
- 1:03:32Speaker 3: there was even a couple of phrases he tossed out
- 1:03:33Speaker 3: there that was talking about some, I think, scientific or
- 1:03:36Speaker 3: magical method or some shit like that.
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: Illuminism or some shit.
- 1:03:40Speaker 3: Maybe he had a name for it, where it was
- 1:03:42Speaker 3: kind of like, you know, he sounded like he was
- 1:03:44Speaker 3: kind of like mixing, like, I guess, looking at it
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: and documenting it all and kind of looking at it
- 1:03:50Speaker 3: in a scientific way of, like, results of what he
- 1:03:52Speaker 3: did to get this.
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: Even he was like, I think, was pointing at it
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: in a scientific way.
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: Well, that's like the Holy Grail for all of us.
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: We all desperately want to be able to prove this.
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: Here it is. I proved it. Yeah, right?
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: If you're like, if I could go down this avenue
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: and do it, fuck it.
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's just not going to be that simple
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: because it's slippery, just like quantum physics is slippery.
- 1:04:18Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:04:20Speaker 4: And you have more people trying to prove it doesn't exist.
- 1:04:24Speaker 4: then people trying to prove it does exist.
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: The severe cognitive bias. And, you know, it's understandable because if,
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: if when you prove that this stuff is real, it
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: shatters religions. Some of them, it can fuck up religion.
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: It can fuck up. you know, people's sense of self.
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: It can fuck up this idea. You know, a lot
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: of people hate astrology with a burning passion because they
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: don't like the idea that they're not in control of
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: their lives. But if they actually understood astrology, they'd understand
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: that that's not true. Astrology doesn't say this is going
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: to happen in this order, in this way. Astrology shows,
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: gives you a blueprint of who you are. At least
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: that's what natal astrology does, right? So, you know, the
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: misunderstandings lead to these horrific cognitive biases that get people
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: to hate all this stuff. I mean, religion's the biggest one, right?
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: Especially Christianity saying burn the witches. Like that's, that is
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: still happening.
- 1:05:25Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: Like witch hunts never ended.
- 1:05:29Speaker 5: It just changed. It's a. Yeah.
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: It's still happening. Panic is still real. Yo, I've heard.
- 1:05:36Speaker 5: Oh, that's still a thing.
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: Also think about jealousy, the jealousy factor. What if magic
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: is real and I can do it, but you can't,
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: you're going to hate me. But that's not true. Everyone
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: can do this.
- 1:05:47Speaker 5: That's what I'm thinking.
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: But not everyone understands. We spend our whole lives in
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: this realm. Think about the average person. They don't know
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: what the fuck we know. We've dedicated our whole lives
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: to this. But you've got to remember the average person
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: is just scared of it.
- 1:06:04Speaker 3: You know, I have something that I was going to
- 1:06:08Speaker 3: work on. I don't know if I'm going to do
- 1:06:09Speaker 3: it because it was more of like an interesting topic.
- 1:06:13Speaker 3: because I do like a lot of these people, but
- 1:06:17Speaker 3: I'll just keep it real. The reason I was going
- 1:06:19Speaker 3: to even do the episode was more of like, I think,
- 1:06:22Speaker 3: to prove a point to a lot of Christian listeners
- 1:06:25Speaker 3: or podcasters. But like a lot of stuff that we
- 1:06:30Speaker 3: use in ceremonial magic came from Christians and Catholics.
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Ceremonial magic is an Abrahamic practice. Polymotic magic?
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: Come on.
- 1:06:40Speaker 3: I was like, yo, do they even realize a lot
- 1:06:43Speaker 3: of this stuff that they'll point out and be like, satanic, satanic.
- 1:06:46Speaker 3: It's like, yo, your people actually came up with that
- 1:06:49Speaker 3: or kind of put that together.
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: The Bible is full of mysticism. It's full of it.
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: Like, come on. Willow's Weep.
- 1:07:00Speaker 5: Willow's Weep, right there. That one symbol with the house.
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: Yeah.

- 1:09:57Speaker 2: Yeah, we could get into that. There was so much
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: that I actually left out. You could do a whole podcast.
- 1:10:03Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: I mean, like a whole network series on sigil matching.
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: That's how deep it goes.
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, we could do that. I actually would
- 1:10:09Speaker 2: have no problem to kind of... Maybe a little bit more.
- 1:10:12Speaker 3: Of the advanced or detailed parts of it. Yeah, we
- 1:10:16Speaker 3: could do that again for sure. It's always a great time. Anyway, regardless,
