wer = word
os = bone
weros = truth

Hello,

I just got High-tech and Thaumatology. I've decided to read High-tech straight thru, but I thought I'd take a different approach to Thaumatology.

I'm interested in:

-language
-Odin/runes
-consciousness
-Carlos Castaneda's concept of 'sorceror'
-the iterative role of consciousness/reality in mutual self-construction
-the notion that language mediates the above
-the notion that the more chthonic the language, the more it may do the above, yea unto to the extent of sustaining/generating 'magic' effects
-using proto-indo-european (PIE) as an example of such cthonic language for game purposes.

In this regard, I'd like to consult the 'hivemind' -- how should I approach reading Thaumatology to take a direct route to building the above as the magical paradigm for a campaign?
