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:
Permissioning, attending, a home archetypal language, an oracle built for this work, cultivated non-reactivity, and Knowles' criteria to keep pareidolia in check.
