< A second shot at life through a writer's works
I believe that magic is art, and that art, whether that be music, writing, sculpture, or any other form, is literally magic. Art is, like magic, the science of manipulating symbols, words or images, to achieve changes in consciousness ... Indeed to cast a spell is simply to spell, to manipulate words, to change people's consciousness, and this is why I believe that an artist or writer is the closest thing in the contemporary world to a shaman.
~ Alan Moore, ceremonial magician and comic book artist/writer
Wow, I didn't know Alan Moore, but this hits home. I'm going to look more into the guy. Thank you)
