Highly recommend to anyone interested in thinking about magickal systems, the process of magick, or pop culture magick. It opens the space for a meta-critique of magickal systems and traditions. What is the role of each aspect? How canonical are they myths? Who are the characters really? How can we work with them? What makes a spirit a spirit? What aspect of this is about our interconnection to a thing/faith and how much is about the things themselves? What is the purpose of magickal tools? This interconnection of systems and post-structural approach to the topic really fascinates me. - Joshua ★★★★★ In this book, the author gives you the complete breakdown of what you need to create your own system of magic from the pop culture that sparks your imagination. Mr. Ellwood talks about his own work in the Universes of The Legend of Zelda, Harry Potter, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Dragonball Z. He even includes a chant that he has used with the main character from the video game Horizon Zero Dawn. He does this to show that you can use just about any Pop culture genre that appeals to you. The author goes into great detail explaining what correspondence is and how to work with it in a meaningful way. - Dawn ★★★★★ Certainly not afraid to be blunt, Taylor's writing reflects a casual conversation with the reader and promotes a feeling of simply talking with a friend over everyday events. He goes on to discuss the hows, the whys and the whats of pop culture and how to set up a system that will work for sole practitioners and group ritual making. All throughout the book he explains that this is a new 'thing' and that tradition does not allot a plethora of worldwide super secret hidden grimoires of information, however, there is a large array of inner lore, of stories, of plot heaped upon you by the authors and filmmakers and to use it. - Angela Longstreet ★★★★★ This book is exactly what I've been looking for, short, sweet, and to the point on how to create systems in magick using pop culture (and turning pop culture into magick.) I appreciate there wasn't a bunch of added fluff just for the sake of making the book longer. Instead, I got precisely the kind of information that I can apply to any pop culture system. - Tiffany Rose ★★★★★ We are living no longer like the old ones that had been writing and practicing magick eras ago. Witchcraft, sorcery, occult, we have already lots of good books to learn a lot. But is that all? Taylor Ellwood is one of the brightest experimental modern wizards that is aware of that and is always "poking" us to be unusual, to explore all the possibilities in the magick modern world. The internet has changed us forever and it power cannot be ignored. Why not grab this power to reach our objectives? But he explores much more. He lead us to a journey of creativity and adventure, even if you are new on the subject. Pop Culture Systems is all about empowerment, as you are stimulated to build your own way with the modern characters of our era, you feel compiled to know yourself better and what is meaningful for yourself! - Raquel Lucena ★★★★★
