The thesis explores the concept of a literary and artistic magic system derived from ritual magic practices through visual art-making. The text will begin with an introduction into the idea of magic within various contexts; Philosophical, historical, social and cultural. It will then make a link between magic and art as potentially connecting practices. The text will contain analyses of various ritual magic practices and esoteric belief systems. Particularly, examples which contain a significant focus on art, creative expression or visual symbolism as part of their practices. From there, the thesis will enter in a more back-and-forth structure with my graduation project in my aim to develop a functional (gamified?) magic system able to be applied through ritualised art making sessions within a group or as an individual practitioner.
✼ Draft Text ✼
Introduction
If magic isn't real, how does one explain art? This thesis looks at the transformative attributes of human creation and art through the lens of ritualized magic practices.
Chapter #1 - Magic as Art, Art as Magic
Magic as the human conceptualization of transformative power. The ability to alter reality, bend the material and metaphysical realm. Sometimes defined as informed by arcane knowledge, channeled through ritualized action. Sometimes, an undefined mystical force, as unpredictable and unbendable as the forces of nature itself. Magic in its endless forms and subjectivity then contains many parallels to art.. (+deeper dive into historical, social and cultural contexts).
Chapter #2 - Eclectic believes and Non-prescriptive ritual practices
Chapter #3 - Artistic Magic system - An attempt at a framework
Conclusion
