• Introduces key ideas in linguistics and semiotics to reveal how magic works • Reveals how to apply effective communication techniques to your magical practice • Includes case studies of magical schools, such as Hermetic magic, sigil magic, Thelema, the Church of Satan, Chaos Magic, and the Temple of Set In this illuminating and deeply informative guide, practicing magician Toby Chappell takes readers on a journey into the heart of what it means to transform reality by exploring what magic is. He explains that operative magic works because it is communication. The practitioner of magic is communicating with the unmanifest to align the outside world with their inner transformations, desires, and needs. Drawing on linguistics and the analytical techniques of semiotics, the author explores how we perceive and affect the world by treating it like a partner in communication. He shows how this notion of magical communication appears in ancient practice, looking specifically at Hermetic magic and the spells of Greek magical papyri, sigil magic, Enochian magic, and runes. He explains the symbol-building necessary to effectively transform your inner and outer reality with magical speech, signs, and sigils. The author examines the languages of magic in modern New Thought practices, and he also looks at magical communication in several modern and postmodern schools of magic, including Thelema and the teachings of Aleister Crowley, Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth, the Church of Satan, Chaos Magic, and the Temple of Set. Revealing how to apply techniques of effective communication to the magical realm, the author allows you to deepen your understanding of magical practice and, ultimately, perform magic with greater success.

The core concept of this thesis is that of a “magical universal language”, an idea I’ve encountered in a vast variety of sources. While I do not draw definitive conclusions about the meanings and implications of this idea, I try to trace the complex connections between our concepts of magic and language. To that end, I develop a definition of language (and all expressive acts) as forms of magic, and a definition of magic as relation, communication, communion, and connection between the Self and the Other. I essentially understand both language and magic as acts which are able to bridge the abysses between dichotomies and form dialogic reciprocal relationships between them, especially the dichotomy of Self and the Other, of Word and World. Crucially, such acts include human language but are not limited to it. A more poetic way of putting this is that both language and magic are expressions of Love, which transcends “Self” and “Other”. I reference a wide array of sources ranging from fiction and myth to academic and scientific authors in order to explore a few key points relating to this essential idea. The first is simply that there are deep, complex connections between magic, language, and all acts of expression, connection, communication, and relation. The second is that the magical power of human language can be abused (like all power), because our capacity for abstraction has a shadow side that tends to separate us from the world and all we perceive as “The Other”. The third is that the stories and myths we tell about magic suggest a worldview in which all of existence is expressive, in which there is no real “Other” because all is interconnected and united through relation, communication, and communion; in other words, through Love. From this perspective, human language is simply a specialized and abstracted form of existence’s infinite expressiveness: the “magical universal language” shared by all beings. Thus, I argue that this worldview refutes the foundational ideology of our civilization (which positions humanity as hierarchically dominant above all else) and implies an ethical, loving engagement with all of existence.

Here, the magic is studied in its linguistic and semiotic aspects and is defined as well: Magic is objectified language and symbols to operate with power over the world by a magician to the particular interest of an user into a community, whose interaction constitutes a system. The study demands specific and analytical tools as well: 1. The Linguistics and Semiotics to study the expression of magic. 2. The Information Theory and its science involved (Dianetics and Bioenergetics) to show how magical effectiveness is reached. 3. The Theory of Post-modernity to analyze the scenic characteristics of magical ritual. The theatre aesthetics of magic is important for producing emotional reactions toward healing by the magical action. 4. The Theory of Speech Act and Philosophy of Symbolic Forms to show how manages to operate the magic with power over the world and its creatures. 5. The Theory of Discourse to establish the structure of magical discourse. 6. The Theory of Symbols to establish the symbolic structure of magic.

In fantastic worlds like Gondor, Westeros, Ankh-Morpork, Waterdeep, and Hogsmeade, the societies that inhabit them play important roles in capturing the feel of their settings. Societies create characters and plots, provide space for action, and reflect history. Building vibrant and interesting societies is a core element of worldbuilding in the fantasy genres. This guide walks the reader through different aspects of societies to help construct fictional worlds with greater ease. Examples of societies built by numerous authors in the fantasy, urban/modern fantasy, and paranormal romance genres are interwoven to illustrate concepts. Throughout, this book is descriptive and suggestive rather than prescriptive, and is intended to inform as well as inspire the worldbuilder.

Magic is a universal phenomenon. Everywhere we look people perform ritual actions in which desirable qualities are transferred by means of physical contact and objects or persons are manipulated by things of their likeness. In this book Sørensen embraces a cognitive perspective in order to investigate this long-established but controversial topic. Following a critique of the traditional approaches to magic, and basing his claims on classical ethnographic cases, the author explains magic's universality by examining a number of recurrent cognitive processes underlying its different manifestations. He focuses on how power is infused into the ritual practice; how representations of contagion and similarity can be used to connect otherwise distinct objects in order to manipulate one by the other; and how the performance of ritual prompts representations of magical actions as effective. Bringing these features together, the author proposes a cognitive theory of how people can represent magical rituals as purposeful actions and how ritual actions are integrated into more complex representations of events. This explanation, in turn, yields new insights into the constitutive role of magic in the formation of institutionalised religious ritual.
