@maeviuslynn.bsky.social and I had such a great time in Salem last weekend that we were too busy to take many photos. #LivingInTheMoment

My favorite part of my Coast to Coast AM interview was when—asked if prayer works—I said, “A whole range of practices involve asking saints, angels, spirits, ancestors or God for help with some problem. If your nightly prayer is ‘God bless mom & dad & John Boy,’ how do you know if it worked? /1

This just in: Felix John Taylor’s “The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn: Magic Arts and the Occult Revival” not only offers an overview of the storied Victorian secret society, but argues that it was a magnet for creatives of all stripes, from poetry and literature to the visual arts.

For all you night owls 🦉 out there: I’ll be discussing my book “Mind over Magick” on Coast to Coast AM on April 15, airing 12-2 am PST (that’s 3-5 am for me and everyone else on EST 😫). My sleepiness will be offset by my excitement about this virtual sit-down with George Noory.

Happy First Day of the Writing of the Book of the Law! youtu.be/opmk3yuG9AY?... #thelema #occult #thelemite

I’m honored to be returning to Mystic South in Atlanta this summer, where I’ll be discussing my new book, “Mind over Magick: The Psycholigy of Ritual Magick.”

“Perdurabo” just became a dank Warhammer 40k meme, after Games Workshop unveiled a major new antagonist: Perturabo, Daemon Prince of Chaos Undivided and Primarch of the Iron Warrior Traitor Legion during the Horus 😉 Heresy. Thanks, fiendish_dust!

Just some things I made. I was inspired by magick and the world around me. They all invite Joy. The unicursal hexagram incense holder was a particularly inspired piece. It holds incense nicely. The purple glaze was very difficult. It's purple for Tahuti, the Master of Magick. #thelema

Since this year isn’t busy enough (sarcasm), I just signed a contract for another piece of writing. Looking toward a late 2027 release, details will follow when I’m allowed to say more.

An invisible house stands. I loved the recent feature in a New Zealand magazine about me and my upcoming book: "The Holy Year of Thelema: A Guide to the Ritual Calendar of Aleister Crowley's Tradition." The feature was thoughtful and I felt very seen and understood in it. That's a rare feeling.

@maeviuslynn.bsky.social and I had a blast this weekend doing a three-hour hike at Divine Llama Vineyards with our own personal llamas, followed by tasting some lovely wines.

✨ Authors on Tour! ✨ It's official that the Llewelly website has information on my upcoming book events and lectures. www.llewellyn.com/author.php?a... My upcoming lecture this Sunday 3/29 at 3:00PM EST is entirely virtual. You can catch it at Coffee and Cauldrons coffeeandcauldrons.com

I’m delighted that the bleeding heart I planted last year has started to come back. It’s my favorite plant—I love that its shape occurs in nature—but have had a hard time finding, let alone successfully cultivating, one here. Summer was brutal and it died back, so I didn’t know if it would return 🥰

Upcoming virtual class with Coffee and Cauldrons. I am delighted to be giving a talk as part of their educational series. Link for more info: coffeeandcauldrons.com

Academia Ordo Templi Orientis is holding a conference—“Crowley on the Continent”—in Gothenburg on May 24, featuring 13 papers by scholars from around the globe. Admission is €31 for OTO members and €42 for non-members. Tickets can be reserved by sending an email to [email protected]. /1

Made a new friend. #FergOnAWall

Had a detailed dream about how cool and jazzy a F#min/Cmaj chord sounds on the piano, so I rolled out of bed to play it and … WHAT IN THE STRAVINSKY?

What a treat to receive Sally North’s beautiful new book, “Mysterious Rose: The Life and Work of Althea Gyles.” And copy 93! Gyles was an Irish poet & artist remembered for her book cover designs. She’s associated with WB Yeats, AE Russell, Aleister Crowley, the Theosophical Society & Golden Dawn.

I had the pleasure of joining Rachel Patterson on The Pagan Portal Podcast to talk about Thelema, Aleister Crowley, and True Will. This was a lovely chat. We get into some great things I know people will find fascinating! youtu.be/mV-fbl1VG_o?...

@maeviuslynn.bsky.social and I celebrated today’s vernal equinox by going to NCMA’s “Art in Bloom,” whose theme this year—much to our surprise and delight—was the zodiac and the elements. Never felt more at home than explaining to others what those four funny triangles mean ☺️

Spent time with @maeviuslynn.bsky.social this weekend nourishing ourselves by doing the Great Play: appreciating fiber arts and music, good food and feathered friends.

Today’s sexy book mail: Moshe Idel, “Male and Female: Equality, Female Theurgy, and Procreation in R. Moses Cordovero’s Dual Ontology,” TWO VOLUMES (Ktav, 2023).

DO NOT go into the new week without checking out my review of "Mind Over Magick!" themagicalbuffet.com/wordpress/in... @richardkaczynski.bsky.social

I’m thrilled to receive this ceramic golem, part of @maeviuslynn.bsky.social’s magick art. Instead of glaze, it’s treated with iron oxide to preserve its earthy appearance…except for a dab of glaze over the heart, recalling the anahata chakra and pelican. Also: GOLEM BOOTY! w Lynn’s potter’s mark.

Some recent additions: * William L. Boyden’s “Chronology of the Supreme Council,” Scottish Rite Research Society bonus book. * G. O. Mebes’ “Encyclopedia of Occultism,” after a recommendation by @bellwen.bsky.social. * Porphyry of Tyre’s “On Theology and Theurgy,” rec’d by my friend Ixel Balamke.

Found a new place in Durham. Had to stop in. 93 93/93

When a stranger comes to my house and sees all the occult art and decor, I never know if my friendly demeanor is reassuring or Heretic/Midsommar/Get Out -level creepy 😂

Thank you, @magicalbuffet.bsky.social, for this glowing recommendation of “Mind over Magick.” I’m blown away. You should totally write up how you’d approach the subject: we all bring unique perspectives to the table. ☺️

Speaking with podcast legend @thejimharold.bsky.social about my book “Mind Over Magick: The Psychology of Ritual Magick” was a real treat. Since 2005 (😮), Jim’s acclaimed shows like “The Paranormal Podcast,” “Campfire Stories” and “The Other Side” have racked up over 80 million downloads. /1

Shelley Lake is home to a nesting pair of bald eagles—Raleigh and Shelley—and we luckily saw one of them today. We watched them feeding their eaglet(s), but couldn’t see the babies.

It’s a beautiful weekend and turtles are everywhere sunning themselves.

It was great to meet some fellow authors I’ve known for a while online but hadn’t met in person yet! (Pictured left to right is @matauryn.bsky.social , @richardkaczynski.bsky.social, @aidanwachter.bsky.social, @maeviuslynn.bsky.social)

I had a delightful conversation with Sandie Sedgbeer (Beyond Realms and Reason) about my book “Mind over Magick: The Psychology of Ritual Magick,” which examines what peer-reviewed research on psychology tells us about why ritual is a powerful tool for transformation. youtu.be/77wKx-UKTq0?...

The proof copy of my upcoming book just arrived in the mail! It feels surreal! Wow!! Here is a little sneak preview for you all as well. I absolutely love the little cakes of light illustration with circles and crosses. #AleisterCrowley #thelema #occultbooks #magick #occult

Today is release day for the “Mind Over Magick” audiobook! 🎉

spotted at the irreverent bookworm in minneapolis! @richardkaczynski.bsky.social

A short video exploring an important and fascinating occult concept in Thelema. I believe this idea will help all magical practitioners do better magick (not just Thelemites!). #magick #occult #AleisterCrowley youtu.be/jedMN3YP_A4

Last night we streamed “The Name of the Rose” (which @maeviuslynn.bsky.social had not seen before) only to discover that Amazon’s version censors about 4 minues from the film, including a brief but significant scene. Wishing I had popped in the BluRay instead.

Even cats enjoy "Mind Over Magick" by @richardkaczynski.bsky.social If you are looking for a fascinating read on the psychology of ritual, then this is the book is for you! (Thank you to Coady for sharing a picture of their cat named Dr. House.) #magick #occult

Thanks @carlabrahamsson.bsky.social for this fantastic review of “Mind Over Magick: The Psychology of Ritual Magick.” ☺️ For those of you who go to the review, be sure to check out what else the Fenris Wolf has to offer
