Mine's a reaction to the author of this article (who does claim to be a wizard himself), concerning how he's assessed Abramovic's Good Work:

Even if it were mere art (COS's official rituals were claimed to be mere "psychodramas" for example, but check what Aquino said of them in retrospect or the overall impact their work has had on global spiritual culture), it would still be magick - the essence is in making a definite impact on the participants (of which, even those of us watching these workings from screens years later, are taking part in the work still).

Art, makes an impression on the senses. Good Art, not only makes an impression on the senses, it also touches the unconscious (and beyond). Her art (assuming you don't want to acknowledge it as magick), is Good.

Reaction is essential to awakening potential - am African, and our more respectable initiation rituals all involve good doses of shock and horror, for good reasons. Her work would indeed not just disturb, but awaken potential in the audience, in ways they'd not otherwise have had the means to.

To see that she can exhibit black magick work publicly is likewise good - it lessens stigma, and introduces to those who would dare to dig deeper, glimpses into what real practical work is, when the principles are put to use. Her work is much more beneficial to the advancement of the art than watered-down textual descriptions of ritual in some books - it leaves no doubt to those who study it, what the real work ought to be like.

And then again, you wouldn't have expected that all black magicians ought keep their daemons hidden in the closet all the time? Part of the work involves stimulating the masses, and then sending a message to the other side... if the RHP workers exhibit their work and ethos in publicly-televised rituals (check the vatican, mecca, etc), what should stop the dark mages from leveraging exhibitionism as well?

Anyways, interesting topic. Good stuff... Hail Nyamiyonga!
