Magic is the willed application of symbolic methods to cause or prevent changes in the universe, or to gain wisdom by way of symbolic action. That is Magic used operatively – to create change, or Magic used illustratively – to generate meaning. Both involve the manipulation of consciousness according to desired outcomes. This should be kept in mind when viewing works of Initiatory Art, as its creation by an Artist-Magician can be understood as such a symbolic act. There are visual Workings of Magic. Initiatory Art are Workings of embodied meaning and Intentionality.
