@@jordanm6940 The magic of the old world before the Western thought wrapped it in modernity. The magic wasn't really lost but permeated in the brands we see now.
I used to be a smoker for 14 years. There is a point where it does make you sick though. Too much magic can leave the user dismayed. I do think the adjacent action in cognizance when smoking led me to be a deeper and brighter thinker, but now I chew gum instead of smoke when I need that affixation. Saying that always reminds me of the movie Constantine (2005 Keanu Reeves)
The deeper and brighter thinking is because of nicotine's effects on memory and cognition. Shizophrenics use smoking as a self medication against the symptoms of their condition. Intellectuals use it as a self medication to enhance their mind.
I've personally always identified smoking with saturnian archetypes/energies, prime example in meme culture being the doomer. Whenever l take a smoke l become much calmer and resilient, feeling more grounded or down to earth. It also makes for a great parallel how acessing these "darker" energies can be a great tool but getting too much of them will destroy you, much like cigarettes. The second thing that came to mind was thanatos which would perfectly allign with the eros of consuming milk but that might just be me reflecting all the "self destructive" symbolism of smoking in pop culture.
When i started smoking cigarettes at 15, i would sneak out into the yard with two cigarettes. One for me and one for the devil . I wasn't aware of any of this stuff at 15, and i felt silly doing it, but in my minds eye i would see a devil greeting me in the dark, asking for a cigarette . I cant remember when i or why i stopped doing this
My vice is weed and we were on friendly terms for a while, but I think in the past few years our relationship has taken a turn.

Two large influences in my novice smoking habit: my cousins, and Bill Hicks, both un- and pronounced to me that the benefits of smoking is not in its contents but in the moment you do it and how you'd enjoy it. Same with sodas and juiced drinks, or dairy. The same with artists, same with common salarymen trying to make it through the day, or simply friends trying to process together how things are going for them, smoking is there to help you exhale. Panentheism is my favorite school of thought. It's like dirt, smoke, water... A fire in the sky. And like a lucky pack of cigarettes, you only need the sleigh of hand without the guidance of the eye(s) because God is already in there. Not as the lucky cig, not also the lucky pack, but the generous movement and desire to manifest the smoke through magic from the rolled tobaccs. Thank you for the video, Chris! I love every second of it 🤗
once again, it comes down to me to do god's work and summarise this video: 1. there is a tradition of turning one cigarette upside down and calling it the lucky one, this may have come from WWII (no citations) 2. BIC is a manufacturer of lots of common products, it is ubiquitous and that is kinda like in this vonnegut book where god takes the form of consumer products 3. "if we can't find god in a pen, then we are lost" (does not elaborate, abandons this point altogether) 4. people often have a drink along with a cigarette. David Bowie used to have a glass of milk and a bunch of cocaine with his, and it was under these circumstances that he produced his 5th or 6th most acclaimed album: station to station (then immediately afterwards he got sober and made an even better album, whoops never mind) 5. milk is very important. 6. milk, cigarettes and cocaine are all white. (abandons this point altogether) 7. cigarettes are like incense sticks, and incense is often used in rituals, therefore cigarettes are magic 8. you'd think smoking would be a bad thing, but actually it can be a good thing, we know this because many great people in history smoked and i don't understand the difference between causation and correlation conclusion: cigarettes are lucky because they allow us to "make good" with the ugly parts of ourselves like, the conclusion on its own is alright, its a little bit hacky and proverbial for my liking, but the train of logic to get there is obviously just a string of monty-python level non-sequiturs designed to bamboozle the audience into thinking this fortune cookie of a script is deeper than it actually is.
i always tell ppl that say that they want to stop smoking to better to start smoking more, and making smoking ritual, non automatic, a meditative smoking
BIC didnt invented the pen, it was Ladislao Biro, an hungarian nationalised argentinian who patented it in 1943 in Buenos Aires. He call it Birome. Edouard Buffard and Marcel Bich came up with the bic pen in 1945, just wanted to point that out. great video as always
Bick is so ubiquitous that is has become the de facto default word for any sort of ballpoint pen in Luxembourg. Therefore, "I smoke with a Bick" sounds funny to me.
I'on't smoke tobacco but I smoke marijuana cigarettes, called joints. Jays in my local dialect. I roll them up - I don't have to, it's not really that much less expensive to buy prerolls, and it would be much easier to smoke them through bongs but instead I smoke them through joints I rolled because it feels like mine. It takes mind and effort. Gotta find a place to roll, where nobody would bother me, gotta get all my stuff together: my grinder, my rolling tray, etc. Ritual. It's all ritual. Ever since the first time I rolled my own joint with my gf when I was 18 I roll my own joints and I knew then I would be rolling them till either I died or quit.
I've always had family members that smoke (I'm the youngest of both of my families). However my granmother is now ill and in bed, and she often gaslights anyone that takes care of her just for us to give her a cigarette. It's depressing to look at, seeing your own family crumble to a more primal, agressive form just because of a cigarette. Cousins, uncles, grandparents... That's why I made a promise to myself to never go down that path. It's funny though, my older brother used to smoke frequently before he left the house, so I associate the smell of tobacco with him, often fondly.
I personally found that smoking and drinking took away from my Magick practice. Quit both of them cold turkey. It does something to your mind and spirit
Wow dude! That's what got you into the occult! I discovered an article about David Bowie's coke fueled occult paranoid time period after learning about kabbalah, then found out about his lyrics referencing the tree of life, and finally gave him a listen, been into rock my whole life and only just finally got into him! He was vey much into occult natzi beliefs, the black sun and the next step in evolution of a special species of whites, the name doesn't come to mind right now.
Just had a cheap cigarette, I don't think it symbolised much beyond my own low standards and cheapness, but it sure was good and an integral part of my routine.
I've been thinking about him and his words on cigarettes and marijuana all week! Then he puts this out . I also started reading synchronicity this week 😮
Vices do not make the devil your frien,, but they do help you _get to know him._ The devil cannot be your friend, that is the very essence of his archetype. He will always be your enemy, in the truest teleological sense, but he may occasionally do things for you to make you think otherwise, even though in the final tally of the balance will always be in his favor. That is his game. The value of vice is not the vices themselves, anyone who only goes that far is by definition a victim of their own defects, but to get to know the devil inside of you so that you can overcome him and strengthen and move beyond. Of course since no human being is ever done and perfected there are always more vices to learn from, but one should be aware of their utility and not glorify them beyond what they actually are. [It also should be noted that vices and enjoyments are not the same thing, and need not necessarily have anything to do with one another.]
I've always wanted to start smoking and read about the matter profusely yet never had the will to start, like I couldn't completely justify the long term health effects. Looks like I now have a good reason.
I caution you not to be too impressionable. There is little to gain and much to lose from smoking, and perhaps one day you will regret that choice. I've heard many people say that they wish they had never taken up smoking. I have yet to hear anyone wish that they had taken up smoking earlier.
absolutely don't start, I'm still addicted to tobacco products and I've tried to quit a couple times i'ts really hard, as someone else here said, cigars sometimes are fine but do not make it a habit.
@sleep3417 I whole heatedly agree with you, even if smoking gives/helps someone attain magick understanding, it's still a terrible thing for you to do with your body
Hey, I was like you at one time. I was fascinated by smoking, really found it to be a intriguing ritual. I bought my first pack, and started smoking American Spirits. The health effects are immediate and noticeable. You will smell like shit. You will constantly feel self-conscious about your breath. You will feel guilty about smoking all of the time. You will feel like a thief of a villain each time you need to light up in a public area. Its just not worth it. Take up another vice, like drinking or weed. At least with those two you wont have to smell of dirty cigs on you at all times. I've been clean for about 3 weeks now. Its difficult every day. I dream about smoking a lot of the time. Once you're hooked, youre hooked forever. Its not a choice anymore. Be very careful and smart about how you treat your body.
What do you think is the significance of milk in connection with villains or anti-heroes in modern media? Many memes have been noticing the trope in No Country for Old Men, Inglorious Basterds and ofcourse A Clockwork Orange. Why is milk so often paired with these types of characters?
I think it’s supposed to betray contradiction. We associate milk with infancy, and by extension innocence. Yet we see these psychopathic characters all drinking it. In a way they are innocent, they “know not what they do”
I only make lucky cigs when I end up pulling more than one out with my first cig. the one or two that also pull up become Good Luck and, sometimes, Good Fuck.
As someone that smokes 1 a day on average, a pack of lucky cigs sounds a lot like a stale month. Also i literally THOUGHT of this video no verbals and it popped in my recomended
Exactly. Also, it's not like because someone who gained fame and notoriety doing something unrelated to their private life/habits, does a certain things, the thing in question gains value in virtue of having been done by the individual in question. Many people thorughout history produced beauty through art/intellectual observations, while, on the private they had habits or tendencies that were beneath the beauty they produced. Think about Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Pasolini, Polanski, Michael Jackson and many others; some were either attracted to or sexually active with minors, some were violent, some were r4p1sts, some murderers, some had vices and addictions, some smoked. These things have to, however, be separated from the product that these people's minds produced, which need to be looked at critically, without mixing it, or letting the judgement of such products be affected by things that are unrelated to them, such as the personal lives of those who produced them. The same goes for the exact opposite. A very well known Austrian-born German dictator from the last century was a vegan. Does that affect what he did or the concept of veganism itself? No. Should I become a vegan or never become one because someone who gained notoriety through their actions and capabilities did? No. Also, the fact that he mentioned Alasdair Crowley, a satanist p-phile... well, let's pretend that didn't happen. His words sounded eloquent and magniloquent, so I guess he's right regardless, his little speech will sound cool in some reddit comment.
traditionally, native americans used tobacco for spiritual purposes. Rumi and the whirling dervishes also had their own kind of tobacco they would smoke before their whirling meditation. tobacco has a long history as a bridge to the spiritual realm.
The substance, she talks, but only to those who listen. Why not listen indefinitely? There might be some reasons but the only way to know would be to embark yourself, outside forces can only give so much affect. Time will bring a clear breath, it always does 😸
^^^ this. But I wonder if the op of the video was fully aware of this fact, and used cigarettes as a example to try to "filter" those who didn't understand the message

I caution you not to be too impressionable. There is little to gain and much to lose from smoking, and perhaps one day you will regret that choice.
I've heard many people say that they wish they had never taken up smoking.
I have yet to hear anyone wish that they had taken up smoking earlier.
If you must, roll your own cigars and smoke a pipe
absolutely don't start, I'm still addicted to tobacco products and I've tried to quit a couple times i'ts really hard, as someone else here said, cigars sometimes are fine but do not make it a habit.
@sleep3417 I whole heatedly agree with you, even if smoking gives/helps someone attain magick understanding, it's still a terrible thing for you to do with your body
Hey, I was like you at one time. I was fascinated by smoking, really found it to be a intriguing ritual. I bought my first pack, and started smoking American Spirits. The health effects are immediate and noticeable. You will smell like shit. You will constantly feel self-conscious about your breath. You will feel guilty about smoking all of the time. You will feel like a thief of a villain each time you need to light up in a public area. Its just not worth it. Take up another vice, like drinking or weed. At least with those two you wont have to smell of dirty cigs on you at all times.
I've been clean for about 3 weeks now. Its difficult every day. I dream about smoking a lot of the time. Once you're hooked, youre hooked forever. Its not a choice anymore. Be very careful and smart about how you treat your body.
Watched this while smoking on my porch. 🚬
Great content
Amazing❤
Thank you
Lucky cigarette is surprisingly known in kazakhstan too
In Brazil we do this stuff too(Lucky Cigarette)
you need to look up the skibidi toilet stuff. this shit is a sign of the apocalypse.
If I didn’t have asthma I would be smoking like a chimney.
very enjoyable
What do you think is the significance of milk in connection with villains or anti-heroes in modern media? Many memes have been noticing the trope in No Country for Old Men, Inglorious Basterds and ofcourse A Clockwork Orange. Why is milk so often paired with these types of characters?
I think it’s supposed to betray contradiction. We associate milk with infancy, and by extension innocence. Yet we see these psychopathic characters all drinking it. In a way they are innocent, they “know not what they do”
@@gsmooth4279nah you're looking too much into it. it's probably just for "contrast", so to say.
They should bring back smoking in restaurants btw. That felt so American growing up
I only make lucky cigs when I end up pulling more than one out with my first cig. the one or two that also pull up become Good Luck and, sometimes, Good Fuck.
Coffee and a cigarette is where it's at... Also enjoy simple hot water
So a quickie ritual to commune with the shadow and hopefully come back up with something useful. No wonder all artists seem to smoke.

When I clicked this video I was holding a bic lighter. It has a picture of a hammer on it with words. The words say "Nailed IT!"
As someone that smokes 1 a day on average, a pack of lucky cigs sounds a lot like a stale month. Also i literally THOUGHT of this video no verbals and it popped in my recomended
i have no idea what he is talking about it but i still fuck with it
Freud, Jung, and other famous psychoanalysts smoked because they didn't know better. At the time people didn't know smoking is bad for your health.
Exactly. Also, it's not like because someone who gained fame and notoriety doing something unrelated to their private life/habits, does a certain things, the thing in question gains value in virtue of having been done by the individual in question. Many people thorughout history produced beauty through art/intellectual observations, while, on the private they had habits or tendencies that were beneath the beauty they produced. Think about Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Pasolini, Polanski, Michael Jackson and many others; some were either attracted to or sexually active with minors, some were violent, some were r4p1sts, some murderers, some had vices and addictions, some smoked. These things have to, however, be separated from the product that these people's minds produced, which need to be looked at critically, without mixing it, or letting the judgement of such products be affected by things that are unrelated to them, such as the personal lives of those who produced them. The same goes for the exact opposite. A very well known Austrian-born German dictator from the last century was a vegan. Does that affect what he did or the concept of veganism itself? No. Should I become a vegan or never become one because someone who gained notoriety through their actions and capabilities did? No. Also, the fact that he mentioned Alasdair Crowley, a satanist p-phile... well, let's pretend that didn't happen. His words sounded eloquent and magniloquent, so I guess he's right regardless, his little speech will sound cool in some reddit comment.
insanely spot on
You should try Peace, a Japanese brand of cigarettes
Send me some
what are the implications of vaping alongside the video
Where does one find such groups? Asking for a friend

The level of familiarity with an object/phenomena is inversely proportional to one's true understanding/knowledge of it.
traditionally, native americans used tobacco for spiritual purposes. Rumi and the whirling dervishes also had their own kind of tobacco they would smoke before their whirling meditation. tobacco has a long history as a bridge to the spiritual realm.
The substance, she talks, but only to those who listen. Why not listen indefinitely? There might be some reasons but the only way to know would be to embark yourself, outside forces can only give so much affect. Time will bring a clear breath, it always does 😸
milk and cigarettes huh? less alone in this universe every day haha
Any ritualistic or magical property cigarettes have can be replicated by less disgusting, cheaper, healthier habits.
^^^ this. But I wonder if the op of the video was fully aware of this fact, and used cigarettes as a example to try to "filter" those who didn't understand the message
Like what
vaping will never be sexy like smoking is, its actually so awkward and ugly. best combo for me is a cig and beer
