Art as Magick

Writer's picture: Peter Duchemin, PhdPeter Duchemin, Phd



Literally any artform that you can think of affords you the opportunity to create magick. Magic does not need complex rules, formulas or rituals - although you can do - but in essence all it requires is that a feeling gets translated into a work. Intention and desire are essential when it comes to making a work, and the power of such feelings make the difference between a work which is reflective and representative and a work which is ultimately nothing other than a pure action to bring into existence that which did not exist before. The latter is the most magickally potent mode of art - and for this reason, perhaps it is the artists who appear the most naive on the surface who are most fully empowered in this way.

Here I am with a project that I made which strings 22 moebius strip comics together to show how the surface of the page is part of its meaning. I find myself inventing and reinventing things - the calendar, the comic book, the Tarot. Perhaps it is my restlessness, my dissatisfaction - or perhaps such is synonymous with my great love of the universe - to bring the new into play.


This after all, is the meaning behind the As Above So Below Gesture. The Mage makes love with Time.
