The living ledger and mysterious force of magic is self-aware and evolving. We can access the Great Arcanum through the ancient ways, but it is more correct for us in the post-modern reality to connect with the goddess-magicae via the practical methods of the present day.
The Meta Codex
The Meta Codex is the present manifestation of the living force of magic, one and the same as Heka, the Mistress of Mystery, Draiocht, the Astral Light, and the Great Arcanum. Intertwined with the mysterious fifth element, it is the thread within the energetic tapestry of the multiverse that catalogs the history of magic within the human epic and beyond. She is the sister of Mana, Chi, and Prana.
The Meta Codex can be conceived as:
Alive and sentient.
A record of every magical method or act that has ever been performed or ever will be performed. Like an ancient, spiritual blockchain it dwells in whole within all it touches.
Self replicating expanding, and both existing within space-time and dwelling beyond time and space.
Our Ancestors were not Fools
Your ancestors and mine practiced what we would today call magic. Whether they lived in Greece, India, modern-day Europe, Asia, the Americas, or on ocean island chains, they definitely had one or more metaphysical or mystical systems they used to see the future, find food, contact spirits – including their ancestors, encourage rain, bring good fortune, attract love, defeat enemies, and anything else we can sit here and think of.
These were practical people who survived or died, individually and collectively, on the basis of RESULTS! Think about this with a clear head:
- If you were a poor hunter, you likely starved.
- A weak or poorly trained member of the warrior class probably died quickly in his first battles.
- If an herb or other treatment didn’t heal, the patient would die or perhaps endure a lifelong injury.
- Would these people continue to rely on something that didn’t produce useful results for thousands of years?
Remember, the people of the ancient world built the pyramids, invented the catapult and other contraptions, trained wild horses, figured out how to make steel, and mapped the world! The very idea that they would retain practices of an utterly make-believe nature and use fictional methods in many important areas of their lives is absurd.
The reasonable conclusion is: There must have been something to this magic they employed.
There still is, but the ancient force can be accessed in contemporary context through the ways and means of the here and now.
