Time Sorcery By Vexsys

Vexsys - Time Sorcery-Gate Zero (2021).pdf
The provided source is a guide to a specific type of magic known as "time sorcery" and is comprised of five modules. The modules cover the fundamental principles of time sorcery, including the numogram - a map of reality that connects numbers, ideas, and events, and the practice of qabbala, the art of connecting ideas to the numogram. The guide explains how to summon spirits, known as "lemurs," from the otherworldly dimension of Cthelll, and how to use these spirits for practical magic. The final module explores "hyperstition" - a form of magical world-building that uses stories and narratives to shape reality.g0

Quiz Answer Key
# Hyperstition is the process of making beliefs into reality by manipulating hype, which is the driving force of change and manifestation. In the context of the numogram, hyperstition utilizes the map's structure and symbolism to channel and direct these energies towards specific outcomes.
# Base-10 is significant because it reflects the dominant system of numeracy in our culture, giving the numogram its hyperstitional potency. Other bases could be used, creating different #-grams with their own unique properties and correspondences based on their numerical structures.
# The numogram comprises the Warp (6::3), Plex (9::0), and Time-Circuit (8::1, 7::2, 5::4). The Warp represents chaotic and unpredictable energies, the Plex symbolizes the limits of the system, and the Time-Circuit reflects the flow of linear time where most human experience unfolds.
# Lemurs are psycho-spiritual entities inhabiting specific zones, embodying distinct archetypes and influencing behavior. Practitioners interact with them through rituals like subdecadence, seeking guidance, power, or insight by aligning with their rhythms and understanding their domains.
# Banishing in numogrammatics involves counteracting specific energies by introducing their opposites, acknowledging the inherent nature of these forces. Grounding involves centering oneself within the time-circuit, often by shifting focus to a different zone or current. These processes differ from traditional banishing, which often involves expelling energies, as numogrammatics recognizes the ever-present nature of these forces.
# The three components are numogram, mythos, and unbelief. The numogram provides the structure and symbolism, the mythos weaves a compelling narrative around the desired outcome, and unbelief, through its function as a risk-management tool, forces engagement even from skeptics, further fueling the hype.
# Unbelief within hype functions as a risk-management tool. When something gains enough traction, even those who don't necessarily believe in it must still acknowledge its impact and potentially adapt their behaviors. For example, the cryptocurrency market forces engagement even from skeptics due to its real-world financial implications.
# A hyperstition critic analyzes existing trends and unpacks their numogrammatic underpinnings, while a taste-maker creates new hyperstitions by developing compelling myths and strategies for propagation. Critics deconstruct, while taste-makers create and disseminate.
# This process involves focusing on a specific zone or current's energy through visualization, meditation, and potentially the use of tools like candles and incense, with the intent of drawing upon its power to influence a situation or gain insight.
# The Necronomicon, despite being a fictional creation, represents a powerful hyperstitional object. Its existence, fueled by cultural fascination and countless attempts to manifest it, demonstrates the potential for even fictional concepts to gain real-world significance through hype.
