Mr. Moore is far to shrewd, to tell the whole story. I completely understand the "Library Angels" concept. I've had it happen to me, and am glad to hear it mentioned.
You know what's crazy. I've started reading Watchmen for the first time and I searched "80's synth" or ambience or something, I don't remember, on spotify. Found a playlist that was perfect. Meanwhile I'm kind of binging all these Alan Moore videos, never heard of Steve Moore before Alan started mentioning him. Then yesterday, I was listening to the same playlist again.. and noticed that a lot of the tracks in the list were made by "Steve Moore" ... It's not the same Steve Moore, but still. It blew my mind. What kind of magic is this lol
The idea that one can con or force a much more powerful entity to achieve some magical end you yourself are not powerful enough to achieve does really beg the question of who is controlling who.
Hey Steve, I'm glad you and Selene are out of Purgatory now; thanks to I, the Illustrious One. For my own sake and everyone else's; I'm happy full moons and Halloween etc will go smoother than this years did!
Thing is with Alan's snake worship is that he worships a god he KNOWS is false and doesn't consider that a big deal. His explanations of his magic have always said that it could just be read as a mixture of psychology, in the way that meditation doesn't require any supernatural beliefs even if it often comes with them, and art. And yeah historically it seems art / psychology / magic were all much of one thing back when. Or at least he says so plausibly. So I can't see a rationalist having a problem with Alan's beliefs. If I had to guess, I'd say Alan sees it both ways, as a metaphor, but also as something with real reality to it, and maybe errs just on the side of it being actual real magic. Him continuing to worship a god that's completely debunked, on purpose, is a great way to do it.
As is capitalism, anarchism or any other ideology for that matter. Nor is ‘religion’ necessary a bad thing. As long as healthy debate is encouraged within them
That's a bit out of left field! Besides the obvious, there's nothing at all in common between the two men. One was a big Hollywood guy into money and fame. Alan just sits in his Northampton terrace, writing, like the guru who decided the key to it all was to become a fisherman, have a family, and go to the village pub now and then.

If I could invite 5 guests to a dinner party, I’d invite Alan Moore and ask the rest to be quiet.
Ceiling Fan Noice
I'd invite Alan five times just in case he didn't feel like coming.
I've listened to this many times over the years.
thankfully I've found it. I am very much moved, for some reason.
Me too
RIP Steve Moore in 2014
This guy is a gem.
starting at 57:30 when he starts discussing his friend Steve Moore the talk really picks up. I love this story!!

when he says he's using he's magic powers, he's not joking
I remember seeing Alan Moore's name near the top of the bill for the Amazing Meeting London and thinking WTF? Glad Moore was thinking the same.

@@Battleschnodder🤣
Amazing
15 minutes in and Alan is basically talking about how Steve made Selene his waifu, this is going places.
A real long shot but does anybody know who produced the artwork behind Alan?
Michael Dockery yes, it states the artist on the front of the book. They are often oblong shaped. You may be fortunate, there's still some about
What was the crowley work he mentioned? Can't hear him.
I believe he was referring to “Liber 777” by Crowley.
Hey Steve, I'm glad you and Selene are out of Purgatory now; thanks to I, the Illustrious One. For my own sake and everyone else's; I'm happy full moons and Halloween etc will go smoother than this years did!

'Marxism is a religion by that definition' - Brilliant as ever, Mr.Moore.

Damn, this is grim.
My last name is Moore. No relation.
What he saw in the ball was Prometheus.
The one who stole the fire from the Gods and gave it to humankind.
I would say Promethea, but she doesn't have any balls...
My mate Joe Cocker.
I have one gripe. He needs to stop hiding in bathrooms.
Yep, he’s my favorite storyteller. Please don’t disappoint me like Roman Polanski, Mr. Moore!
