Vending At NW Indiana Pagan Pride Day

This Saturday I will be vending my books at Pagan Pride Day in northwestern Indiana alongside the awesome Embalmed Apple. Northwestern Indiana is still basically within the Chicago metro area, so if you happen to live around those parts this will be an opportunity to buy books from me in person. I will, of course, be happy to sign them for you. I will have both fiction and non-fiction titles on hand.

I rarely vend outside Minnesota, so here’s your chance to pick up books in person without braving the Arctic tundra in which I live. Yes, I know, Chicago is also cold – just not like the Twin Cities! It’s exciting for me to be vending in a relatively new environment, and if you’re local to the area I hope to see you there.

The What Magic Is This? Podcast Interview

I recently sat down for a discussion with Douglas Batchelor and Cliff Wigtil on Enochian magick for the What Magic is This? podcast. It was a good introductory discussion that covered how the system was received, how it works, and some of the nonsense about it in that has seeped into popular magical culture. If you’re interested in Enochian but not sure where to start, this discussion should prove helpful in that regard.

Enjoy!

The Thelema Now! Podcast Interview

Last week I sat down for an interview with Harper Feist for the Thelema NOW! podcast. We covered some of the material in Mastering the Thirty Aires and my general approach to magick as a practical science involving the activity of consciousness and quantum information. The interview is available here.

Enjoy!

Presenting at Paganicon 2023

This weekend I will be presenting on Thelema and Ordo Templi Orientis at Paganicon 2023 here in the Twin Cities. My presentation will be on Sunday, March 19th at 2:45 PM. The link to my talk on the Paganicon schedule is here:

Last year I presented on Enochian magick at the convention with a talk featuring material from Mastering the Great Table. This year I will be presenting to support Leaping Laughter Lodge rather than to promote my own writing. If you are curious about Aleister Crowley’s what spiritual system Thelema entails or what we actually do at the local OTO lodge, this will be a great opportunity to get those questions answered.

Hope to see you there!

Praxis Behind the Obscure Interview

Yesterday evening I sat down with Ryan at Praxis Behind the Obscure to discuss Mastering the Thirty Aires. We covered some of the differences between the modern approach of scrying Aethyrs and the original function of the Aires, which was to serve as a powerful system of political and zodiacal magick. We also digressed into various topics related to Thelema and magick in general.

The Magick.TV Interview

Yesterday I sat down for an interview with the folks at Magick.TV. We talked about my experience with Enochian magick, the approach I take to teaching it in my books, and the differences between how common ritual forms are traditionally taught and my operant field method.

My thanks go out to the folks at the channel – it was a fun interview and hopefully one that will prove informative to viewers as they develop their magical practices.

Enjoy!

Presenting at Babalon Rising 2022

This year I will be presenting at the Babalon Rising Festival. Babalon Rising is a pan-Thelemic festival held at the Midian campground in southern Indiana from June 9-12, 2022.

I will be presenting at the Main Pavilion on Thursday, June 9th at 3 PM. My topic is “Enochian Magick as Modern Grimoire Magick,” and my presentation will include an Enochian ritual performed using methods covered in my Mastering Enochian Magick series of books.

The festival website can be found here if you would like to register and attend. This will be my first time at Babalon Rising, and I am really looking forward to it.

Hope to see you there!

UPDATE: The Babalon Rising Festival has been cancelled for 2022 due to problems with the venue. So I won’t be presenting this year after all, which is disappointing because I was really looking forward to it. I’ll keep you all posted here on other events as they are scheduled.

Presenting at Paganicon 2022

It’s been a long time coming, but in-person events are finally starting up again. Back in 2020 I was scheduled to present on Enochian Evocation at Paganicon, a large convention of pagans and occultists held here in the Twin Cities. But then the pandemic hit, they moved the convention to the following fall, then moved it to the following spring, and finally took the whole thing virtual for 2021. I submitted an introductory video presentation on Enochian magick to the virtual convention, but of course it was not the same.

Paganicon 2022 is now scheduled for the weekend of March 18-20 and I will finally be giving my in-person Enochian Evocation presentation that was originally slated for two years ago. You’ll have to get up early because I’m scheduled to present at 9 AM on Saturday, but the early bird gets the magick, right? It’s something like that at any rate. This presentation will include a talk on Enochian magick in general and include a ritual calling on the four Watchtower kings according to the methodology outlined in Mastering the Great Table.

Hope to see you there!

Magick Without Fears Interview

This last Thursday I sat down the Magick Without Fears podcast for an interview that covered a lot of material related to my magical work, Enochian and otherwise. I was trying to figure out how to do a direct link to it, but that’s turned out to be more work than I expected so I’m just linking to the main page. You can click here or on the image to get to the site where you can listen to the interview. This was another fun conversation – it’s always nice to connect with other practitioners and share notes, even virtually.

Enjoy!

Praxis Behind The Obscure Interview

Yesterday I sat down for an interview with the Praxis Behind The Obscure podcast and covered a bunch of stuff related to my Enochian work and magick in general. It was a good talk – give it a listen.

Since I mention it on the podcast, I’m in the process of working with my publisher to get the final technical issues resolved with Mastering the Thirty Aires, which means it should be out soon now. I know I’ve said that before and I apologize for the delays, but the book is worth the wait.

Enjoy!
