"Along with the office door, I had felt another door opening to another dimension. I collasped onto an old couch, and shivered, wondering what might come screaming through that door into my orderly world. My dread was mixed with strange fascination that I couldn't fathom. I sat, breathing shallowly, trying to regain my previous hold on the ordinary world."
That doorway, where reality dissolved into dreams, cracked open again.
"So I'm a fool, huh?" I said, sounding even more belligerent than I'd intended.
"We're all fools together," he replied. "It's just that a few people know it; others don't. You seem to be one of the latter types..."

Let's Destroy Magick: Then We Be Free!
It's a lot easier to understand the wider implications of this occult / magick psychobabble nonsense of which I ramble (for eternities on end) if you first understand some basic things like, for example : causality is near-total horseshit.
What I mean by 'wider implications' is the expectation that it's possible use magick to detonate someone's skull from the other side of the globe. Or set them on fire, their mother's hair on fire, or win the lottery, fuck a beauty princess with power madness, get reeeevenge!!!! and ... etc. All these noob expectations are based on one thing: that magick somehow allows you to transcend the 'law of cause and effect' (or just 'causality' to it's friends). The way it's ordinarily droned is thusly or similar:
"Magick allows you to accomplish what would be impossible using ordinary means." [1]

Reverse Engineering: Black Boxes 101
All scientific research taken as a whole is an attempt to reverse engineer the universe.
Reverse engineering, as you might suspect, is the reverse of engineering.
Engineering is the art and science of creating something which performs a function: you need to hold up the weight of a bridge so you engineer a column with the right width and depth to hold the weight you need at the proper height.
Reverse engineering is the art and science of determining the structure which performs a function: you see the the bridge, know that something needs to hold it up, then look below and lo and behold there's a column. ( If you were monkey-wrenching, you'd then proceed to blow it up and see if the bridge comes down, but that's another post. )

How to Completely Fuck Up Yer Magick Mojo
Every 2 out of 3 people I meet who's into magick or ye ol occult is stuck on some kind of unnecessary hang up or another. Most often, it all boils down to the fact that they've stalled during their initiation due to something they're missed, or else they've never encountered some basic, but vital bit of knowledge.
I've written this short guide in hopes that a few of those stuck will find what that need to unstick themselves.
