(Also the practical magic sigils he taught us did not fucking work at all)

No, you just did them wrong.

You, sir, are no Grant Morrison.

That was a Donna Karan suit sir.

And yeah he didn't mention how best to actually charge the sigil to make it work (spoiler: j/o)

Alan just pretends to be crazy, Grant is the real thing.

The last interview I read with Alan Moore had him talking about how he met the Roman god Mercury. I think they're both crazy magic men, but Moore is a more traditional Gandalf type of magic man, whereas Morrison is a nutty hippie wizard like Harry Potter's dad or something.

There's an amusing essay by him about how he SUGGESTS getting possessed by the god Mercury, but he heartily warns you from trying to get possessed by the Cenobites from the "Hellraiser" series, because they might make you sad.

Grant Morrison is POE-Red crazy-awesome.

Most of the interviews I've seen with Alan Moore talking about magic tend to deal with creativity and innovation, predominately. I'm a huge fan of pretty much all of his work, but I will be the first to admit he can be a little bit crazy, sometimes.

Alan Moore is just an eccentric old hippie who took a lot of LSD and got a little too wrapped up in Aleister Crowley and Cabballah when he was writing From Hell. It's a really mundane phase that a lot of iconoclasts go through. When they come out of it, they either turn to Christianity or they forget the witchcraft nonsense and fetishize the ancient mystery school symbolism instead. Since Promethea is mystery school porn, I'm assuming Alan Moore is at that stage.

The problem with Grant Morrison is that he really believes he's a witch who can cast spells. He adopted the shaman persona a couple decades ago and now he believes his own hype.

And?
