Grey Lodge Occult Review 18.

Taylor Ellwood is editing a new Immanium Press anthology on wealth magic, and is looking for contributors.

Guidelines:

It should be an article on finances…it can be personal finances, business finances, something along those lines. You can feel free to email me with questions. The article should also contain a focus on magic and incorporating into how you deal with wealth. The magic can range from metamorphic (internal transformation) to practical magic used in everyday situations. Also articles can deal with situations where wealth magic didn’t work out, with a thorough explanation of why it didn’t work out. Don’t hesitate to bounce ideas off of me or ask questions.

length: 3,000 to 7,000 words.

Deadline: Rough draft is due June 30th, no exceptions!!! This gives you three months to come up with an article.

Citation Style. We will be using APA style citation for this anthology. For more information on that please go To this site

You’ll note the hanging indentations for the bibliography. Please DO NOT indent your citations. I will make sure that the layout person does this.

What contributors get: Contributors will receive a one time fee of $25.00 for their work, payable when the first royalties for the book come in (More details about this are provided in the contract). Contributors also get one free copy of the anthology and 40% off the cover price of other copies they choose to order.

There exists, even among long term practitioners, gross misunderstandings of magical principles. Even after the lessons of chaos magic theory (CMT) regarding belief as tool rather than operating system, some magicians still cling to the delusion that (for example) tracing five lines into a shape human minds recognize as the pentagram is by itself magically efficacious. Long-time practicing magicians (those who should most know better) are not immune to this phenomenon. Indeed, a tendency exists to imprint one’s own tradition as the operating system of reality, lending their system an objective belief Robert Anton Wilson described as “the death of thought.” Most modern magicians show at least a passing intellectual understanding of a principle outlined succinctly by Uncle Al several decades before CMT made it creed:

“In this book it is spoken of the Sephiroth, and the Paths, of Spirits and Conjurations; of Gods, Spheres, Planes, and many other things which may or may not exist. It is immaterial whether they exist or not. By doing certain things certain results follow; students are most earnestly warned against attributing objective reality or philosophic validity to any of them.” (Liber 0 I:2).
