Toward Ecosophy

I listened to the podcast Glitch Bottle last night, and the guest was the British magician Josephine McCarthy. She said, if I understood correctly, that unskilled magic flinging, citing pop culture grimoires, is worse than useless. Not only is it unlikely to work as hoped, but it also essentially consumes your etheric energy. The flinger is setting themselves up for premature aging at best. My impression is that this stuff essentially cannibalizes said flinger.

Is that your impression, JMG?

Thanks,
