That's a long text.  Until I have time to get to it properly, is there a tl;dr version ?  A summary ?

This is what I'm thinking for the Ellisian Generator.

Make 5 talismans with wood and woodburning.
1 will be ellisian generator proper
4 will be LS on one side and Zalty on other side.
Activate them with crazy ritual.
(I'll want to include salt water to activate Zalty energy.)

Plant them in 5 parks, with ritual declaration of intention.
(Digging a hole would be nice, or tossing them in thick bushes.)

Acquire deck of cards.
Put LS on back of each. On front, put either a letter (to form a DKMU motto such as "pull you own trigger" or "beauty variety conflict" or "magick is real").
Make activation ritual for deck of cards.

Spread them within area of ellisian generator, taped to lamp posts.

Write everything out and submit to upcoming unofficial DKMU grimoire.

Any questions ? :D

(All is subject to change and all comments or suggestions appreciated.)

People hear me repeat this all the time:

Another one:

"A rebellious spirit coupled with a profound sense of the numinous. A beautiful burning fire inside oneself that burns so bright and hot that it hurts and you just want to expand it out of you and burn the whole world up into the stars. A sense of beauty so terrible and mighty that the Gods themselves would want to join your party and have a beer in good company with you. An inner divinity that constantly fights to actualise yourself. A Love of an infinite Other who you will never be able to reach in an embrace unfathomable. A fight to the end when no end ever comes. Ipseity squared and hell on wheels. Climb a mountain only to fall ever higher into the sky. In a word: Magic."

I'm thinking more in terms of personality traits than anything else.  A rebellious spirit coupled with a profound sense of the numinous.  A beautiful burning fire inside onself that burns so bright and hot that it hurts and you just want to expand it out of you and burn the whole world up into the stars.  A sense of beauty so terrible and mighty that the Gods themselves would want to join your party and have a beer in good company with you.  An inner divinity that constantly fights to actualise yourself.  A Love of an infinite Other who you will never be able to reach in an embrace unfathomable.  A fight to the end when no end ever comes.  Ipseity squared and hell on wheels.  Climb a mountain only to fall ever higher into the sky.  In a word: Magic. 

There is never enough of always more.

We also have an 8chan image board.

This might be a childish reaction but : I lol'd.

Something I use on my (other site) profiles to describe myself.

Montreal is gifted with having a lot of public parks.  I think instead of tagging I'll be making 5 talismans which I will consecrate at home.  After I will either bury them or throw them in bushes where they will get buried under the autumn leaves and other debris.  Hopefully the nature spirits will want to contribute / participate in the endeavour.  Contributed to making Montreal a sacred / magical space where its inhabitants somehow transcend Insubstantia and are immune to the Curse of the Greyface.

[BURN THE DAWN: A DKMU GRIMWAR]

I am suddenly inspired for another title:

BURN THE DAWN: A DKMU GRIMWAR

["DKMU: A Marauder's Grimwar"]

156 submissions would be grand!  Wheras 93 (if thelemically inclined) or 78 (number of tarot cards) or 72 (number of goetic demons) might not be bad numbers to work with either.

Do you have ideas for a title?  If not, I'd like to submit the ideas:
"DKMU: A Marauder's Grimwar"
or perhaps,
"DKMU: A Grimwar of the Assault"
I guess I just like the wordplay grimoire/grimwar.  :)

If you do feel the quality warrants it, then maybe a zero-profit Lulu edition of the Grimoire, much like "The Assault on Reality" would be nice, too.  I'd definitely purchase one, that's for sure.  But maybe we're not exactly at this stage, yet.

I'm feeling quite enthusiastic about this!   ;D

Team Montreal, QC., reporting !

I did the excercise twice.  I deleted everything.  Then I deleted everything again.  That's how I came to agree with Doktor Hellfire.

What I had written down felt like trivial brainstorming.  I deleted because it didn't feel right at all, like I had left out so much.  What I had written down the second time was completely different yet felt just as incomplete.  Both times I was rehashing a lot of stuff from memory.   I could talk about magic for hours and never really come to the core of it except for some bland metaphor or overused Crowley quotes, or other bleak clichés.

There are situations in real life where you do, in fact, have only 5min or less to react - even magically.  This is a matter of urgency within a specific context.  I believe that the 5min excercise removes us from what magic really is all about.

It's a fun brainstorming excercise, a fun creative writing excercise, but it's about form rather than content.

A friend of mine wants to do something similar eventually, when she buys land.  It would be in order to create a Norse oriented NeoPagan sacred space.  With a huge stone as central altar.
