(March 24, 2025 at 5:17 am)o.patrickm Wrote: spiritual atheist interested in black magic, dark arts etc. I'm a lifelong magic fangrrl. I'd love it if magic was real. However, critical thinking compels me to push that possibility firmly to one side until a consistent testable and falsifiable mechanism for magic can be empirically demonstrated. For now, the best I can do is to view magic as "headology" - applied psychology and social engineering - in the spirit of Granny Weatherwax from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series.

Welcome aboard... what kind of black magic? We talking ritual, ceremonial, sympathetic, intuitive, shamanistic, behavioral, whatever else? Any particular tradition, or a more personal syncretism?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
