Refill Your Wonderment Supply To Make For Better Magic
The colleague who sat next to me on my last flight home from Hamburg is not a confident air passenger. If you are in a similar situation the secret is to hide in the numbers rather than resort to personal experience. The is because, unless you are flying several times a week, your mind considers [...]
Further Publishing Resources For The Occult Cyborg
More people searched for the term “Kindle” than “iPad” both before and after Christmas. That never happens. It’s supposed to go “iPhone, iPad, world peace, a different baby sister that maybe isn’t so annoying, everything else.” Via search trends, twitter and such, the sentiment of entire nations is available for you to measure for free [...]
Luminous Beings Can Build Dinosaurs
Our meat suits can seem really frustrating at times. The behaviour of other people’s meat suits can apparently collapse Europe into another pre-war economic superstorm that has a tendency to give rise to violent dictators. Too often our silly little monkey brains can get tripped up with conflated words or prejudices even when the comparatively [...]
The Past Is As Weird As The Apocalypse
We are certainly living in interesting times. But it appears we have always lived in interesting times and that we have traditionally been pretty poor at recognising this. One has to wonder just how voluminous the evidence for a rewrite of the dominant narrative of civilisation has to be before we can drop the word [...]
Happy Birthday Uncle Al
It appears Jason has a similar idea for marking the birthday of the Beast. No Star Ruby for me (though I certainly rather like it). Instead it was some booze -a Sicilian Primitivo in honour of Cefalù- and a re-read of some of my favourite essays from The Revival of Magick… The Camel probably being [...]
Updating Various Rants
A few things have come down the wires of late that speak to some of my pet rants. So here are a few weekend links to consume with your coffee. A rant-based link roundup. Why not? Let’s begin with my longest running whisky rant: That accidental ingestion of hallucinogens is the most likely trigger for [...]
Why Your Alleged Godliness Is Inefficient
“To claim power over what you do not understand is not wise, nor is the end of it likely to be good.” Ged -The Farthest Shore Here’s a TED talk about the pitfalls of believing in your own divinity or awesomeness. We can consider it magically relevant because, to my mind, it highlights the difference [...]
Semen & Bad Memory: Happiness Hacks You May Not Have Considered
Who isn’t clicking on this post, right? Although it’s not what you think. The hack doesn’t strictly require these two ingredients “in combination”. (Not that most of us haven’t all been there one way or another.) No, this is another post exploring the upside of the ongoing realisation that everything about you from your propensity [...]
You Can Use Hegemony To Create Opportunity
The tour guide burst out laughing. “You know, I used to wonder about that myself,” she says. We are at the Glenfiddich distillery, one of the many happy places I have been these last two weeks. She is the third tour guide in as many days to tell me that their whisky matures for a [...]
Gone Drinkin’ – Where Is Gordon Now?
Like any self-respecting Londoner, I am getting the hell out of town for the royal wedding. Did you know, international readers, that if you take just three days of annual leave you get 11 days off because the wedding lines up with Easter and a bank holiday? It’s enough to make you become a monarchist! [...]
