Is graffiti runic?
cryptotheism Answer:
Graffiti is pretty close to sigil magic yeah
Graffiti was an extremely common form of relaying curse diagrams in the Greco Roman world. The inherent magical nature of the written word combined with both the abstraction of visual art and the nigh-ritualistic act of physically imposing words on a public surface are all common elements of western magic historically. Graffiti is not inherently magic, but it is semiotically ripe for the occult.
I do enjoy posting nonsense though. Gotta keep folks on their toes.
