Well, I'd love too, but I don't think I can put in the determination neccessary to get it right. I may perform some of the things, but I won't be going the whole thing.

Cool. Good to have this up. I'll be in and anyone who wants to contact me can do so via my blog or charlie [dot] twist [at] hotmail [dot] com

Well, typically you'd make one yourself using my system. However, I might just have a crack at drawing up a set of these cards.

Where do I purchase one of these?

You raise a good point, Oskar, and I believe you have out-logicked me. Still, that's the way the whole Feng Shui Five Substances thing goes, and the Chinese have been doing it for a very long time.

I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying it works and it's not my fault :P

"Wood typically does the same thing, sure, but it also rots a lot faster than metal dependably rusts."

I have to disagree with you there. Particularly if the water was salty (something that would have, correctly, seemed more abundant than fresh water to the ancient Chinese) the metal (I doubt they had discovered stainless steel).

2009-05-09T05:51:00.000-07:00

:P My determinism theory was just that: a theory. I've mentioned several times that I am not a determinist, but my crazy determinism theory seems to stick in people's mind.

This is ancient Chinese philosophy here, so bear with me. Metal was mined out of the earth, so it was considered to be 'birthed' by mother earth. Metal holds water because of the use of metal buckets. Wood typically does the same thing, sure, but it also rots a lot faster than metal dependably rusts.

Also take note that I was out of my mind a little while writing these :P And yes, I disagree with Sitri on several major points. I'm not even convinced that he's NOT figment of my imagination, yet.

2009-05-09T05:00:00.000-07:00

"the future can never be anything but an uncertain haze."
So much for your determinism of beliefs theory from NLT. Or do you dissagree with SITRI?

"Wood feeds fire. Fire makes ash. Earth gives birth to metal. Metal holds water. Water feeds wood.

Hold on, earth gives birth to metal? Even if I accept that these materials are somehow linked by hidden powers, metal is as much in wood as it is in the ash burned by wood. Also, yu are really stretching the immagination in saying that "metal holds water" when wood and earth do the same thing.

Yes, and because it's more.. chaos.

Awesome selection and a few I haven't read, I'll have to look them up or borrow.

Onwards to the next one?

My concept of chaos is even more traditional than Cal's; it's the gaping, void of nothing one.

2009-04-29T15:34:00.000-07:00

Well, that is where I show how magically uneducated I am (or at least how little attention I pay)
My concept of chaos is the more traditional, complete lack of order one.
Had i been paying attention to any of the chaos magic related texts that I've read, I wouldn't have made the mistake.
Therefore: whoops, my bad.

2009-04-26T16:40:00.000-07:00

Nick:

I admit I find that comment curios. As much as I joke about the discordians the truth is I ahve never come across anyone who practices magic that does not have at least a rudimentary structure to their practice.

And normal is relative :p

2009-04-24T18:36:00.000-07:00

I beg to differ twist, the 'normal' kind of structure goes quite against the discordian structure of chaos, thus it is chaotic to them.

nicely written though Nat, i'll send you something nice when I wake up, but now i'm going to bed.

2009-04-24T08:31:00.000-07:00

2 Things!

1. If you summon a demon prince and bind him into your room I want a really long, detailed account (I sure as hell am NOT being close enough to watch this one :P )

2. Should invite your friend/student to join in on these conversations.

Callum: Chaos practitioners are capable of structure. Its the discordians who aren't :P

damn, man, the quality of your writing just gets better and better. That read really well, although I doubt your ability as a chaos mage, because that seemed to be following some structure...

He's basically describing cultural (intellectual) evolution. Hardly wrong by any standards.
