I must admit that I LOVE Poe's works. He was known to lapse into
flights of fancy, often leaving the reader wondering WTF he is talking about .. but still.
His literary talent, and vivid imagery are rarely equaled today, even by those who find themselves in
an opiate utopia.
A dream within a dream is one of my favorite Poe Poems.. it makes one ponder.
How do we know what's real and what is only imagined? Why do we struggle to make this distinction?
How or why is the answer relevant? Are these perceptions molded by our cultural norms?
If our "reality" is truly shaped by our individual experiences, then wouldn't dreams be part of that
reality?
If we are all tied together in the "collective unconcious" or Gaian Mind wouldn't one be able to change
their own or another's reality through the use of magic?
"Magick is the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will." Crowley
if so how would this effect the person whos will (reality) has been changed. Would they know it had
occured?
In talking about energies we say we have the right to manipulate it to our will and that if we fail to
do so it can harm us.
"A Witch has the right and the obligation to control her/his environment." (author unknown)
What about the will of others?
