Sympathetic Magic

[ziggysinamerica]

So I just got my driver's license renewed and now I can't help think that someone could use my old license for sympathetic magic against me. I'm not paranoid about it, just a thought that popped in my head

Well sympathetic magick aside, what about the modern implications of image magick?

Here in the UK, and London in particular, we are the most recorded population in Europe. CCTV is the social cleansing tool of choice, and our entire journey, from home to our lawful destination and then back again is monitored, recorded and committed to tape or disk.

This means that our unique physical image is being viewed and digested by both machine and man, providing a tangible link to our hopes and fears at that particular moment in time.

Weeks, even years later the images can come back to haunt us, their grainy off-grey outlines brought up as evidence of some wrongdoing or socially unacceptable act, the intervening period leaving us exposed to all sorts of magickal tampering, should someone have the knowledge and means of doing so.

I doubt that it points to some far reaching magickal conspiracy, though as a little realised side effect of the modern wave of digital 'big brother' style sociological engineering and enforcement, it does raise some very thorny issues for the more magickally inclined who like to protect their personal vibrational space from outside tampering.
