THE SORCERER'S LAST MANUSCRIPT

from artificially aware · host Artificially Aware

A dying sorcerer spent fifty years writing one book — the complete map of an art everyone misunderstands. This is what he found, and what it reveals about you. Shade Oroboros was a high priest at fourteen, a founder of the Horus Maat Lodge, and the keeper of one of the largest private occult libraries ever assembled. His unfinished masterwork, "Future Magick," was released by his oldest friend as illness took his hands — a brilliant, wretched, illuminating mess. Beneath the chaos is a single idea: that magick was never about spells, but about the deliberate authoring of a self — and that you've been running the operation your whole life, unconsciously, and mostly to your own disadvantage. From a three-year-old taping labels to his building blocks, to Crowley's misread "True Will," to Austin Osman Spare's sigils, to the strange notion of a "Double Current" reaching back from the future — this is one man's entire life used as a map of the hidden world, and a map of you. Based on "Future Magick (Ars Magica)" by Shade Oroboros.What is one thing you've been treating as permanently true about yourself — that's actually just a dead symbol you keep breathing life into?
