Synchromysticism and Magic: How To Get Better At Both

About this episode

The episode explores Synchromysticism as a form of omen logic and its relationship to magic.

In this side quest from the Hospicing Modernity's Magic series, I make the case that Synchromysticism is modernity's best available form of omen logic. And that getting good at it is one of the more reliable ways to get good at magic. We'll cover Seneca's distinction between the candle and the comet The rise and decline of synchromysticism as a subculture. Jung on the I Ching and psychoid archetypes. The Māori concept of wairua. And the practical toolkit. Show Notes Chris Knowles on Cosmic Connections: Mystical Practices & Reality's Hidden Language. Wearing Jung's Skin Like A Pelt . Jake Kotze on The Higherside Chats .
