    Never state that you "wish" or "want" in a sigil. You will only experience "wishing". State your "will". Then it "will" happen.

    little sigil tip: your statement of intent is going to, more or less, keep you (the I) in a perpetual wishing state for the desired result. A better statement of intent could be "I receive many donations to my Patreon account" or "I have many patrons on my Patreon who support me financially". btw, this video makes me want to read The Invisibles more than I did before. great video!

    I remember when I first heard about the Invisibles, I had read that it was such a weird comic. However, I read Grant Morrison's (and Rachel Pollack's) Doom Patrol before I read it, and comparatively the narrative is really pretty conventional and normal. Considering Morrison has not been shy about the fact that he was on drugs while writing the Invisibles, I expected it to be... less comprehensible. It wasn't bad, but completely not what I'd expected.

    • @naturesquad9174
      @naturesquad9174 4 роки тому +1

      Doom Patrol? That one is essentially proto-Invisibles but more unhinged. It's the same story, but something that would be a major plot device or wisdom in Invisibles will get treated as a throwaway joke in DP

    I'm not really a fan of Morrison, but I get drawn to his work, he usually chooses such a fascinating subject that I feel I must check out, or people highly recommend it.
    There are few projects that I like from him and Invisibles is one that I want to check out but I find Morrison so hit and miss it's hard for me to purchase them.
    I really liked some of his Batman until R.I.P. and his New X-Men was okay it ranged from great ideas to some odd ones but maintained to be a good read, and one that I did like was Happy! (though the series is quite disappointing despite the great casting).
    Anyway thanks for the recommendation Ted, and maybe update us if you decide to read more, you seem to be absorbed by it already, and I always love a recommendation.
    A personal favourite of mine to recommend is Midnight Nation written by J. Michael Straczynski and art by Gary Frank, it's a great concept with a powerful meaning.

Wouldn’t it befar more fitting for him to be listening to the Wu Tang Clan who are highly esoteric or even more so Gravediggaz (highly highly esoteric 🤣)who are basically the real life version of Jim Crow but not as hokey and way more savage 🐍☠️. Check out The Pick The Sickle and The Shovel for an idea 👍

Being very involved and seeing things from that world's perspective is important, but one shouldn't forget that they don't live in that world, it isn't their's and never will be.

    Former occultist saved by the Blood of Jesus Christ. Do not practice what Grant Morrison tells you to do with regard to magick or sigils. His writing, philosphy and advocacy for sigil magick got me into the occult and almost drove me insane. Literally, I almost killed myself due to the torment the demons and fallen angels brought upon me by opening those door.
    Magick is real in as far as it's used to decieve people into going to Hell. This is a terrible title for this book and honestly if you can listen to his backstory about being in the hospital with a flesh eating bacteria and "writing himself im the comic" and not ybstand what you are dwaling with, you are blind.
    Lord, please protect anyone who hears about this book and about Grant Morrison.
