Chaos Magic - 18/March/2025
Were it not for Aleister Crowley, Austin Osman Spare would have been the most influential occultist of the 20th century. This is both strange and impressive, as the entirety of his magical writings could be read in an afternoon. Primarily an artist, author and poet, he occupies a similar space in occult history to William Blake; less an occultist, more poet-mystic. His influence lies less in obscu...

The New Age - 2/feb/2025
THE NEW AGEWorld War Two is over! People are frail, destiny is uncertain, death and disease are our constant companions, and Americans have cars now. These existential terrors have always existed, and there have always been folk practices who came up with responses to stave off that terror, but the world of 1970 is connected like never before. The catastrophe of the previous generation has given w...

Jung - 31/jan/2025
JUNGJung is perhaps the most influential occultist of the 20th century. His contributions to the vestigial field of psychology got us out of Freud. Where Freud theorized the psyche was a machine defined by sexuality, driven by sexuality, and that kept all the trauma in the trunk, Jung’s model of the psyche is a complex interplay between the multiple aspects of the self. This was undoubtedly a st...
