You can easily spot someone who wears his “weirdness” on his sleeve (often they‘re trying so hard at it that it has the opposite effect), yet a magician skilled in the antinomian stance doesn’t have to make. Antinomian practice is commonly associated with the concept of becoming “alien“ – something which again has romantic glamour. But becoming “alien“ is much more than a matter of dressing in strange clothes and saying “beep beep“ to people (or “Hail Shub-Niggurath,“ if you prefer). No, look again at the movies and horror stories. Often the most succesful aliens are the ones who blend into the crowd.
