You Say You Want a Revolution?

Are We Anonymous ?

I have to say that I really dig what the collective known as Anonymous stands for. I have been wondering recently why there isn't a magical equivalent of this group. We as magicians are also "Hackers" of sorts. We also have just as much  ability to effect the world around us and our communities for the better. Should sorcerers get involved magically in a sociopolitical aspect? Is this an abuse of what we are capable of, or exactly what our skills were meant for? I don't claim to have all the answers to these questions and I try to avoid pontificating on this blog as much as possible. Instead let me provide a quote for you:

"And thou shalt be the first of the witches known;

And thou shalt be the first of all i' the world

And thou shalt teach the art of poisoning,

Of poisoning those who are great lords of all

Yea shalt make them die in their palaces;

And thou shalt bind the oppressor's soul (with power)

 And when ye find a peasant who is rich,

Then ye shall teach the witch, your pupil, how

To ruin all his crops with tempest dire,

With lightening and with thunder (terrible),

  And with hail and wind...." Aradia : Gospel of the Witches

I am not a Witch in any traditional sense of the word but these words strike a chord with me. Is it time for sorcery to once again fulfill its role in civil rebellion? Again this is just a question  that I don't yet have an answer for. I would love to hear others thoughts on this so please comment. Below is a recent video by Anonymous that inspired this post.
