NY Times wire, Ivor Guest obituary, screenshot at 7:09:09 PM ET

This journal on the above date of death, March 30, had a quote from
the author of the graphic novel Aleister & Adolf

"Program or be programmed."

I prefer Barbra to Aleister —

"Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed."

See as well spirits in the previous post.

From the above Wikipedia article

  • In the Robert Frost poem, "The Witch of Coos," the game
    is referenced in lines 7-8:
    "Summoning spirits isn't 'Button, button,
    who's got the button,' I would have them know."

Fact check:  From the Frost poem at Bartleby.com

  • "Summoning spirits isn’t 'Button, button,
    Who’s got the button,' you’re to understand."

"In my childhood, the circle persisted as a potent magic figure
in the playtime doggerel 'Make a magic circle and sign it with a dot.'
The interested reader will find thousands of allusions to the phrase
'magic circle' on the Web."

There are fewer allusions to "magic circle" + "sign it with a dot."
