Franklin on Magic
by Franklin Crawford

Time to start casting the I Ching, dabbling in magic and even mumbling a few humina-huminas now and again. The world, without magic, is indeed full of wonder, but like a glass paper-weight, limited and useful only for keeping things in place. Restoration of Magic, as opposed to magical thinking, is the great challenge of my pre-senescent life. The absence and snuffing out of Magic in our world today is a conspiracy against imagination and cuts us off from possibilities beyond our beautiful sciences, which do not include "Love" or "Mind" among the four great forces of our perceptual discovery. I proceed cautiously and watch for "signs" that Nature agrees or disagrees with my corrections.

 

David Rollow in response to Franklin Crawford
"So I asked the I Ching if there was a need for more magic i
n the world and got 11, Peace, first and sixth lines moving.
Line one suggests getting to work (pulling up grass by
the roots) line six suggests not going too far,
or the wall will fall back into the moat.
In sum, yes, more magic, but in moderation.
A typical reading."
