was never that interested in crowley, tbqh. i have a very good friend of mine who is crazy about theosophy - blavatsky, hermetic magic, and things like this - but for some reason he never made my Gotta Read This Guy list.

but you're right to bring him up. this guy, for instance, has a twitter account i check every now and again:

and it does seem that once you cross the rubicon into spinoza, the floodgates well and truly open for the alchemical and the magical. afaik there is absolutely zero reason not to explore legit sorcery in thinking through this stuff. oedipus and psychoanalysis has a charming kind of victorian repression about it, like the cellar door in evil dead 2. there are indeed some wild and crazy things down there. or look at hegel, aka Dr. Faustus. hermetic wizard supremo (aided, it should be said, by being blown away by another and even more interesting guy, but still). i read a little bit about pic rel in the winter and i found him pretty gnarly tho.

anyways. fwiw. when it comes to the critique of capital in the 21C there's no end of stuff to read but i don't turn up my nose at much anymore, that's for sure. i think i prefer to keep it kinda-sorta marxist but more for the sake of my own sanity, i think. there's as much blood magic IRL as there is in westeros.

sup lads, girardfag here. i want to respond in depth to some of the posts in this thread - >>11101988

and continue this fine conversation but i'm not going to be able to tonight, or at least not until much later tonight. peace and love and happiness and rainbow-shitting necromantic hr giger unicorns to all until then.

this guy is awesome.
