From Sebastian, on Barbelith, buried deep in an old thread I’m pulling out. Totally worth it.

2. Cast the spell (the magickal intention) through the mean that seems more suitable, forbidden, and powerful to you. It can be simply writing 100 times the desire on a special kind of paper. It can be something you read in a novel or saw in a movie, in a cartoon, or in a comic book, something that has striken you as being “powerful” magick. If you have hundred of options, even the ones you make up, choose the one to which you are most nauseated and fascinated, the one that makes your body tremble from just imagining yourself doing it, and that leaves no place of doubt that will put Magick in motion. It might be something neatly deranged you thought about in childhood and worked to get a toy or a grandma’s visit you were yearning to. Do it.

Danger must be like “taboo” in Tantra. What is it about taboo that seems to swing open doors

?

Taboo is an art, and the best art uses it.

(The word itself suggests forbidden origins.)
