Alan Moore on Magic

★ ★ There is some confusion as to what magic actually is. I think this can be cleared up if you just look at the very earliest descriptions of magic. Magic in its earliest form is often referred to as “the art“. I believe this is completely literal. I believe that magic is art and that art, whether it be writing, music, 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. ― Alan Moore ( excerpt from the documentary: The Mindscape of Alan Moore ) FAIR USE NOTICE AND DISCLAIMER: The following film contains excerpts of unlicensed footage and images, which are used with lawful excuse,for educational purposes only and not-for-profit.
