Time Travel

Since beginning my endeavors as a magus it has occurred to me that at some point I should investigate the possibilities of time travel. This thought was emphasised to me when I found the magickal keyrings in the charity shop on the Dublin road at the beginning of my public magickal experimentation.

Magickal keyrings from the oxfam shop on the Dublin road, Belfast.

This again was doubly emphasised to me when I was going through a collection of old bits of video art I made and I found one of the first SPART works titled Pogo-manifesto. In this video I explain how a pogostick can be used as a mystic vehicle for divination. What occurs to me now is that in order for me to have made this video back in 2002 I must have, some time in the future, discovered the secret of time travel in order to enable me to alert myself to the concepts in the video so that I could make it. I don’t remember meeting myself in the past, so maybe time travel is something a bit more psychic. I leave it for you to decide, but in the mean time here’s Pogo-manifesto.

Comments on Tarot reading for May

Thinking about what happened in May, I think my Tarot cards were spookily correct. In my Yearly forecast, I read May in the following way…

This is a very interesting card to find here in my spread. This card is associated with material success in the world and therefore also the good things in life. This card may suggest that I will receive a windfall or some other form of unearned income, it suggests that I will have reached a stage where I no longer need to work to earn a living. Some how I doubt this, but then again you never know. An alternative reading of this card would go like this: Pentacles are associated with the material things in life. Nines suggested the deepening of experience. Therefore we could say that this card suggests that in May I am going to come into a deeper understanding of the realities of what it takes to make the world tick in the material sense. So this is as much about marrying any of my idealism to the material realities of the world. It’s an interesting card to have here. I wonder what exactly it’s about?

The major thing that happened in terms of money and materiality in May was that a gallery approached me about the possibility of representing my artwork. Now this caused a whole series of thoughts in me regarding why I make art and also how my desires to create have to be married up to real life needs of having an income. I still haven’t resolved the issues this request sparked in me, but one thing is for sure, it has really made me think hard about what/how/why/where I do what I do.
