The Scarlet Woman Alostrael, Virgin Guardian of the Sangraal: A Portrait

And now for something completely different… I had a great time returning to one of my passions. Details to come. I need to do more music after I’m past my writing deadlines!

My famous, wildly beautiful actress friend @lunaseranova spotted my book at Psychic Eye Book Shop in Studio City! I love seeing my work out in the wild. For anyone interested in learning about the holidays and how to celebrate them in Thelema, then this is the book for you! #magick #occult

I am laughing too hard at this

The Kickstarter for Alejandro R. Rozan’s Thoth Marseille Tarot met its funding goal in ONE HOUR, & mere hours into the campaign two stretch goals are already unlocked. Rozan’s revisioning of the deck is so incredibly well done, I had to pledge for two decks (one for me & one for Maevius Lynn). /1

Dusk date night to watch chimney swifts’ spectacular roosting behavior during migration, from a rooftop restaurant perch.

Some rare Rosaleen Norton ephemera: 2 issues of Forry Ackerman’s fanzine VOM (Voice of the Imagi-Nation) featuring cover art by Roie. What makes these remarkable is that they are from the mid-1940s, when Norton was unknown in the US. (For context: at this time Norton was still a budding artist. /1

For the autumnal equinox, Maevius Lynn made us this solar pizza inspired by the curved lines of Frieda Harris’ artwork for Atu XIX: The Sun. “I have tried to introduce among the cards the element of Time… /1

Just released: the revised 3rd ed of Anthony Clayton’s “Netherwood: The Last Resort of Aleister Crowley” in paperback (left; the hardcover 1st ed is on the right) from Accumulator Press. The main attraction for me was the inclusion of replica Netherwood ephemera in an envelope at the front. /1

New arrival: “The Complete Pentagram and Hexagram Rituals of the Golden Dawn,” compiled/edited by Frater Yechidah and published by Kerubim Press.

Epic Fraktur misreading. The correct title is clearly “Rosaleen Norton: Kings Cross VVitch.” #WouldstThouLikeToLiveArtistically

This is my favorite response ever to a research inquiry (into the archives of the Cambridge University Chess Club, of which Aleister Crowley was once president… apparently a different club from this one, because records exist of the games AC played) 😂

Busy weekend photo dump: *The results of Maevius Lynn’s one-shot class on fabric marbling *The “Fledgling of the Abyss” detail from a handmade tile end table we got at an estate sale *A pair of owls that Maevius Lynn commissioned from the Fenton Art Show (with celebratory spritzes) /1

When your HGA rolls up and says, “Get in, loser. We’re having a Conversation.”

The palpable disappointment of a fledgling bluebird when its parent flies off without feeding it: a tragedy in four photos.

Fresh from framing. Travis Simpkins’ work hangs in museums and has appeared in hundreds of books and magazines. I’m beyond honored and humbled that he chose me as the subject of one of his signature portraits.

@maeviuslynn.bsky.social & I had a great time among the 50 attendees at the Fate & Folklore/Montwood Café “Practical Magic” party Friday night. We made bath salts & cinnamon brooms; had tarot readings & henna; & enjoyed punch & lattes (no midnight margaritas). The countdown to the sequel continues!

To prep for his role in upcoming grindhouse film Onslaught protecting his daughter from genetically engineered super soldiers, actor Drew Starkey “read a bunch of Aleister Crowley books and…volunteered to fully shave his eyebrows” for reasons that are unclear to me. Maybe we’ll find out (?) tomorrow

With a spate of edgy new projects on deck, the now-former teen-TV antihero is ready to grow out the buzz cut and show the world what else he’s capable of.

Here’s a nice, thorough article on the history, reception and controversy surrounding Oscar Wilde’s tomb at Pere la Chaise, including Aleister Crowley’s dramatic protests against censorship of Epstein’s magnificent sphinx statue that was commissioned for the tomb.

What do sphinxes and tombstones have in common? Silence, proverbially—though not when the two came together after the death of Oscar Wilde.

Congratulations to curator Amy Hale and all the artists participating in “Holding a Bright Untroubled Sky: Visioning a Better World through Magic” on a successful exhibition, reception, and panel discussion about how art and magic can help us to imagine and manifest a positive future.

Got that Aleister Crowley haircut.

Jake Arnott—an accomplished writer who many here may remember from his fifth novel, “The Devil’s Paintbrush” (2009)—has just released the folk horror novel “Netherwood,” returning, in part, to the subject of Aleister Crowley.

Pokémon donuts! Because @maeviuslynn.bsky.social loves Pokémon, and I’m a sucker for a) fun food, b) gimmicks, and c) anything that makes Lynn happy ☺️
