Welcome to Gaia! ::

How would this even work? Inturpretation of waves? The people inside it and how they react to your prospectice? It seems strange, but interesting, something to look into.

That ain't my beef yet; I'll find a way of making it work. I've already used the subway as a means of 'banishing a demon' (getting rid of bad habits) by writing the habit on a subway ticket, then throwing the ticket away while passing though Merkland Street station, which is a disused station (casting it into the void, if you will). It's little things like that that the system would be based off of.



Not at all chief, that's precisely what I'm looking for. Cheers!

A snake? Ouroboros? The snake that devours its own tail and infinitely travels in a circle. Not sure if subways travel in a circle or if they go back and forth on a straight line xD never been on one (I live in Florida lmao).

Yeah... I loved the tube...( *sings* chube chube chube) I actualy resently got back from the UK, and we took the London underground every-day we were in London, which was for about four days, but I haven't taken the American subway since....well, since the...no..since I was two or three. (i'm 16 now)


right back on topic of train magick. Well, both are...cool...and...are found in many places....like big cities (!) so largely populated areas tend to attract more things and ideas.....well that was kinda stupid...um...OH I have an actual idea! OK, both use color coding to differenciate different parts of it'self, and If you consider how it makes the entire city like a human, it's the energy system. The trains going different directions carying people (the city's energy) in different directions. and there are some major stops that represemt the major charkas. (like Earl's Court, everyone shuffles around trains, and gets on and off to go to different places) and!...and!...and! ...uh!...um!...yeah!

For a seriously, seriously good film about the subject of the seperate world of the underground train networks is by a Hungarian Independent filmmaker, Nimrod Antal. The film is called Kontroll, and is made in 2003. Check it out.

Personally I see it as something that lacks time when you're away from the exit. Trains come and go as the clock ticks by but really it could be anytime outside. It's completely different to "up there", and then there's the fact that for minutes at a time, you're shut in a small, barely ventilated box with dozens of people you don't even know.... with no way out until the next station.

The underground train systems, no matter where you are, is the "otherworld". People, places, time, they're all different. People are all trying to get to the aforementioned place, fully lacking the time that seems not to even exist on the subway to begin with.

Oh, I live in London, by the way. So I get the tube a lot. pirate

I'll look out for this Legacy book, sounds pretty neat. I've heard of Neverwhere, but I've been putting off buying and reading it because of Reasons. I'll definitely pick it up the next time I'm in Borders - cheers! 8D

I live in St Louis, where we have a metro hitting the major hubs in the city. Symbolically, every time I wait at the station I always get the feeling of expectation, the urge to complete, the same feeling you get if you linger breathless between exhale and inhale. When you get on the train, the expectation rises, building at each stop as you get closer to your goal. You can feel the intention of everyone around you rising and releasing as they arrive at their stops.

You could charge your (or theirs, depending on your ethics on that) energy of expectation towards a goal and either release small bits affecting the entire along the way at each stop (like cord magick or a seven day spell) or build, build, build until your stop and then release in the relief felt upon arriving at the destination. The speed, the interconnection and otherworldliness of the subway will only make this easier.
