Congratulations @hookland.bsky.social !

A Thelemic meditation on fear, failure, and sorrow, and how to counter them: marcovisconti.substack.com/p/when-every...

“UFO influencer” is a dead end job unless you have Nazi billionaire funding. That’s why everyone glazes Jesse Michels. His boss’s Hereticon conference is an intellectual masturbation harem for nerds. Stop mainlining fascism and telling yourselves it’s aliens. It’s Nazis, bro. Always has been.

As promised to link to my first actual Hookland book. It is only small, but covers a lot of the ghost soil. If enough of you buy it and like it there will be a Volume Two. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1068598123 It will also be available in an actual bookshop soon.

After more than a decade of waiting and after having incarnated in many different media through a variety of authors, musicians, and visionaries (including my own Pylon People), Hookland finally arrives on the printed page, directly from David himself. 📚 amzn.to/4wzv8cr

Hookland has surfeit of haunted post boxes. It's even rumoured the Post Office retain the services of a ghost-layer for dealing with them. However, at Long Berrow the issue is not spectral, but a sprite problem. Villagers have made many reports of their local box being a used as Green Kin nest.

The leader of O.T.O. Poland has now written four (!!!) reviews and commentary hit pieces on my first book. This is my further response: open.substack.com/pub/marcovis...

🇮🇹 NOVITÀ EDIZIONE ITALIANA 🇮🇹 Finalmente annunciata, e disponibile per il pre-ordine da subito, con uscita prevista per il 15 novembre 2026. Con prefazione di Mat Auryn 📙 amzn.eu/d/0cd7SPGz

SO… AlexReadsTarot ALREADY pivoted to Evangelical content. Fucking called. Money is money, right? Aren’t we all tired of this script? www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8GSgjTq/

I find myself increasingly unable to care about most occult podcasts, esoteric discourse, and the endless churn of “magical content.” Not because I have lost interest in magick. Quite the opposite. 🧵⬇️

Some folks are asking for a little more grace when people like AlexReadsTarot “find Christianity” again. I get the instinct. And I know first-hand how poisonous parasocial internet relationships can be; I’ve been the target of them for years. 🧵⬇️

This week’s job will be mostly reducing the novel from 135k words to a more manageable 127k. Send thoughts and prayers!

Do I know anyone who could point me towards literary agents currently open to new clients? I have finished a literary speculative novel about London, its magick, and the difficult agency of the many characters who move through it. Any leads or suggestions would be hugely appreciated.

I didn't know who AlexReadsTarot was up until yesterday, but let me tell you something...

For it is St. John’s feast and all our shadows are given permission to walk abroad independently. We can only hope that they get up to the right sort of mischief.

I had to postpone my weekly class because my computer overheated and shut itself down several times. But I am sure climate change isn’t real, as per your average boomer occultist’s opinion.

A very happy St. John’s Day to all of you, one full of Masonic secrets, Ultraterrestrials, and much more.

The latest Spielberg blockbuster is not about aliens. Not really.

HAPPY SUMMER SOLSTICE 🌞 93 Today, the Sun stands at its height, pouring gold into the world and reminding us that light is something we are called to embody. May this day sharpen your Will, and return you to the bright centre of your own becoming. 93 93/93

Today is full of magics. You don’t need to read about others experiences, you don’t need to capture your own to share. Today, just bathe in it all. Harvest your own omens, revel in whatever blessings the day offers. Refuse to be part of the mediated spectacle. Find your own primal wonder. #Solstice

Disclosure Day is one of most Spielberg movies of all time. And that’s a good thing, especially in a world rife with cynicism and grimness.

My latest chat with Brian Gathy on the Liminal Currents podcast is now out in the wild! 🎙️ Available on all the major podcast platforms

Unto Carlo Ginzburg, may he be granted the accomplishment of his True Will.

This is that time of the year where I once again BEG YOU to stop thinking things like the “viral” Bind Trump sigil work. It’s been 10 years. It’s time you all learn to hex properly.

Dean Radin on Rogan feels so fucking icky. It feels like every single one who felt, for a while at least, "one of us" was in fact always "one of them". Maybe it's just my bias. Maybe.

If you want to maximise the chances of a spell succeeding, keep it to yourself. Don’t announce it. Don’t post about it. And when it works, resist the urge to boast. This is doubly true for curses and hexes. Silence is part of the operation.

The UK’s proposed social media ban for under-16s is a good thing. The past decade has shown that many parents are unwilling or unable to set meaningful boundaries, while social media corrodes attention, judgment, and mental health across every age group.

The art and deception of journalism: at a cursory glance, you would think "witchcraft" is a 100k business, when in fact it was a 100k wedding with a $25 good-weather spell thrown on top.

2 sessions in & getting so much out of Marco Visconti’s & Peter Levenda’s Sinister Forces course. It’s so much more beyond the books & opportunity to ask Marco & Peter questions. I have new insights into the history, how it influences noise we live in today & how to filter out noise of no value.

My latest on Substack touches on a question that came up in the most recent session of the current Sinister Forces course regarding the Oath of the Abyss.

This weekend I’ll be speaking at the TABI Summer Conference in York, closing the programme on Sunday with The Athanor of Thoth: Using the Thoth Tarot as an Alchemical Engine in the Holy Guardian Angel Experience.

so the third edition of "40 Ways to Fight Fascists," my guide to how to legally organize against fascists, is being prepared. (See below for the second edition.) ** If you would like to receive free copies to distribute, please reach out! ** spencersunshine.com/2020/08/27/f...

The 2026 creative conundrum: you need to "create content" on social media to get new publishing deals, to get the few remaining attendees for your deep-dive courses and classes, and to try to get whatever minuscule ad revenue is left for your niche subject matter. BUT...

Session #2 of SINISTER FORCES is tomorrow. We meet the enigmatic entities who entered our investigation through séances, intelligence networks, and the strange borderland of the ultraterrestrials. We will ask them the most dangerous question of all: Do you know who you are? Join us tomorrow!

They say you should never read bad reviews, much less respond to them. This time, I am making an exception. 🧐 open.substack.com/pub/marcovis...

What is the Great Work, and what does it actually demand from the practising magician? In this video, I explore the meaning of the Great Work across alchemy, Hermeticism, and Thelema, examining how this ancient ideal can be understood and practised in everyday life.

Some further thoughts after my latest Substack article.

My latest on Substack.

HAIL THE PALLID MASK 🟡🟡🟡 Heartfelt thanks to all the fellow cultists who came to listen to the gospel of the King in Yellow yesterday. The recording will be available on the Watkins Books YouTube channel in the coming months. Watch this space for more news on that!

See you at 5pm today at Watkins Books! Just be aware of the TfL strikes ongoing all day, and remember to RSVP directly with the bookshop if you haven't already: www.watkinsbooks.com/event-detail...

Sinister Forces with Peter Levenda starts tomorrow. I will have to tell you all the incredible, sometimes insane, string of weird occurrences that have led to this day. It's almost like if someone - something? - has been working overtime to get in the way of this course happening.

Strap-in folks, another fine take from boomer-extraordinaire JMG just dropped! Remember, this is the man that most occult podcasters still put on a pedestal. Never forget it.

Elon Musk has spent the last few years blabbing incoherently on ketamine-fuelled sessions, denouncing how the UK has become a surveillance state where free speech is censored. He was right. 🧵⬇️

With June comes the long-awaited launch of Mere Thelema. I hope many of you will join us in this new experience.

Off to Central London and the first Crowley Crawl of the season... where I had no less than four people cancel at the last minute because of the heat. And here I thought it was better to run these walks during the Summer months to avoid cold and rain! Oh well :)

Judging from the opening words of their new song, @boardsofcanada.bsky.social just declared themselves Thelemites!

WHAT WILL WE DISCUSS IN SINISTER FORCES? 😈 🎟️ bit.ly/SinisterForc... Sinister Forces reveals where politics, occultism, and power begin to blur. A sharp look at Peter Levenda’s dark map of modern history.

I know I often discuss the problem within my little corner of the world, "occulture". How the last decade radicalised people into factionalism that operates solely on a string of thought-terminating clichés.

93% of the issues with contemporary occultists boil down to the fact that they do not know who this character is, or what he is meant to represent. The rest 7% are just idiots. I will not take further questions at this point. Thank you for your attention. 😈

A pitfall in the A.’.A.’. system is that each grade/sephirah is a point of view which while valid in itself, is necessarily partial. Stay in one too long and our perception can become fixed, thus the Zelator may become a fantasist, the Practicus a Nihilist, the Philosophus a Fanatic.
