About the author
Tom Swiss
4 books6 followersTom Swiss describes his spiritual path as "Zen Pagan Taoist Atheist Discordian", which usually baffles questioners enough to leave him alone. Over the past decade he has built a reputation as a lecturer on subjects spanning the gamut from acupressure to Zen and from self-defense to sexuality. He is a regular presenter at the Starwood Festival and the Free Spirit Gathering, and has previously served as President of the Free Spirit Alliance.
Tom has been a practicing Pagan since 1990, and a student of Asian culture through the lens of traditional martial and healing arts since 1985. He is a karate student and instructor, ranked godan (fifth degree black belt) in a traditional Japanese school; and is also an NCCAOM Diplomate in Asian Bodywork Therapy, with a small private practice in shiatsu acupressure. He holds a Master's degree in Computer Science from the University of Maryland, and has a keen interest in how technological changes affect societies.
As one of the coordinators of the weekly "Zelda's Inferno" poetry workshop, he is a fixture in the Baltimore poetry scene. He has performed his poetry at venues too numerous to count, and on film in the documentary The Poets from Planet X. His poems have appeared the anthology Octopus Dreams, in Zelda's Zine, and in the indie.
He lives in Catonsville, Maryland (a suburb of Baltimore best known for the "Catonsville Nine" anti-war demonstration and for its concentration of music stores and venues), where he is currently at work on a novel and on an album of original music.

Pretty near what I was looking for, which is a practical breakdown of working "magic" without much fussing about metaphysics or having to believe in anything which doesn't ring true. I liked the metaphor of Hamlet having to be a real person to the actor on stage while he is performing and not just a metaphor for indecisiveness - I think there is a lot of overlap between theatre and magic. Wish we had a few more specific prompts here but this was short and sweet.
