Magic Monday

[ecosophia]

I'm going to be shocking and launch this week's Magic Monday a few minutes early, since I'm here on Dreamwidth,. (The picture is Thomas Taylor, the great Regency-era Platonist and worshiper of the Greek Gods, godfather of the modern Neopagan revival)

Ask me anything about occultism and I'll do my best to answer it. Any question received by midnight Monday Eastern time will get an answer, though it may be Tuesday sometime before I get to them all.

I've had several people ask about tipping me for answers here, and though I certainly don't require that I won't turn it down. You can use the button below to access my online tip jar. 

With that said, have at it! 

***This post is now closed to new questions. See you next week!***

Dear JMG,

A few questions from the last couple of Magic Mondays reminded me of a "game" that I used to play many many years ago to pass time on public transportation, in waiting rooms, etc. I would pick up a few people around me and make up a story where they were characters. I was very much into adventures and sci-fi back then, so typically at least some of the characters would end up dead/eaten by zombies, etc. Do you think it's possible to hurt the actual people, on which the characters were based, this way?

Thank you for all you do!

It would depend on how intently you concentrated on the mental game. If you put enough focus into it, you could give them nightmares, for example.
