“The person provides the personal meaning, but society and history give them deeper meaning. That's how an idea becomes something more than an idea. How it hooks into our subconscious mind. The pamphlet in your Vampire Tarot didn't decide that the wand is a phallus. The fact that a wand looks like a big fucking cock did that. When you make the connection, you give something meaning, and when millions of people make a connection over time, that meaning deepens.” — James Tynion IV
The person provides the personal meaning, but society and history give them deeper meaning.
That's how an idea becomes something more than an idea. How it hooks into our subconscious mind.
The pamphlet in your Vampire Tarot didn't decide that the wand is a phallus. The fact that a wand looks like a big fucking cock did that.
When you make the connection, you give something meaning, and when millions of people make a connection over time, that meaning deepens.
