The King in Orange

In The King in Orange, author John Michael Greer explores the hidden magical war that played out during the 2016 presidential election, revealing how occult forces influenced the political landscape. He contrasts two competing schools of magic—the status quo magical state and the “magic of the excluded”—highlighting how these dynamics have reshaped American society since the election. With insights drawn from political magic and the failed attempts of Trump's opponents, Greer's analysis suggests that understanding these magical elements is essential for comprehending the ongoing divisions in contemporary politics.
