    Do we recognise money as real? No? Then the financial transactions making the world go round are magic. They are founded on magical thinking. Belief made manifest, just as we seek to do. Do we recognise Deus as real? No? Then prayer is magic. Do we recognise the wiccan goddess as real? No? Then wicca is magic. But since we don’t value reality, we can use wicca, if we wish. Soulism has no problem with magical beliefs. When we exert our will to shape our perceptions of reality, what we are doing is called magic. Our belief that reality is untrue is itself not real. How could it be real? Magic sits at the core of soulist praxis

    Oh man I can't read anymore. 150 years of actual socialist struggle making concrete gains for a real transformation of economic modes? Nah just believe whatever you want to be true

      I hate this. I hate this so much especially because I started digging into my culture's spiritual roots after getting capital-o ostracized from my church (Baptists still hate the gays); and this is just. Everything I hate about Gardnerian wicca cranked up to eleven and bolted onto a terminally-online idealist's conception of anarchism.
