That’s what I figured ☺️

(Not to bury the lede on the illustrated portfolio with 8 handwritten letters from Keats, worth $2 million, which is also part of this cache.)

I can’t wait to dig in! Flipping through the book, I’m intrigued by your focus on the creative output of the GD’s members.

Cheers Richard, I couldn't have written the Crowley chapter without your Perdurabo

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

It’s a matter of faith. But if you’re like Janis Joplin and say, ‘Oh lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz?’ then you either get the car or you don’t.”

George Noory even laughed at that one 😁

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.

NOTE: This interview will air 3-5 am EST on April 16.

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.

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.”

Project Hail Bloody Mary

😂 Fantastic!

EDIT: Apparently the character has been around a while; the news is that he may finally be getting a playable miniature.

“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.

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.

I’ve never been to St. Petersburg (or anywhere in Russia for that matter), but it would be fascinating to see if there’s anything to be found there about Crowley or the Ragged Rag Time Girls.

I have been to Leaping Laughter Lodge, however. Great people! ☺️
