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 [...]
Are You Publishing An Ebook In 2012? [Resources]
It wouldn’t be the end of the year in media without a twitterstream clogged with trends, predictions and ‘Top 7′ lists. Probably the biggest one to impact the behaviours and aspirations of our magical internets is to do with publishing. Basically it’s fucked. Don’t argue. we have been here before a few times. But it’s [...]
We Are All In The Apocalypse Business Now: 10 Career Hacks
A lot of the time, you aren’t actually in the business that you think you are. There is Seth Godin’s famous analogy of how many railroad companies got into the airline business. Precisely none. They made the mistake of thinking they were in the “trains and track” business rather than the transport business. Because the [...]
Review: Crossed Keys by Michael Cecchetelli
So this is a gripping book, let’s start with that. If you’re just here to skim down and see if it goes on your wishlist then yes… it does. Somewhere toward the top. The two texts that make up the bulk of Crossed Keys, the Black Dragon and the Enchiridion of Pope Leo III, are [...]
Review: Low Magick By Lon Milo DuQuette
How many people alive today fit the classic definition of a wizard? Like in the fairytale sense? Lon Milo DuQuette would probably fit the bill if he wasn’t so damn funny. (in my mind wizards are grumpy like Gandalf.) My Life With The Spirits was and is a regular re-read title of mine for fifteen [...]

The Octavo: A Definitive Review
This review was a long time coming because, to be honest, I wasn’t sure where to begin. Is The Octavo that rarest of things… Something new? Also because -more than a mere review- it’s best considered a really a long love letter to Peter J Carroll. I could have written the letter anytime in the [...]
Review: Grimoires
Owen Davies’s Grimoires took me a while to get through. But it’s a good thing this is a blog rather than a daily newspaper so I don’t just have to review the latest releases. Usually “took me a while to get through” isn’t a compliment. In this case it very much is. The delay had [...]
History Abhors A Vacuum
I loves me a bit of Hutton. But then, I loves me a bit of Hitchens, too. So it was with great interest that I consumed the following posts: Trial of the moon Ronald Hutton: Shibboleths and Moonshine? Urban Legends: Neopagans & Golden Dawn Forgeries The Roots of Modern Paganism: Debate II This e-debate hangs [...]
Review: Strange Smell In The Car
This wasn’t a book I expected to read cover to cover. Not because it’s large, but because a goodly chunk of it is a list of herbs and essential oils and how they are used. In my mind, it was a book to flip through and then return to as needed. But I did read [...]
