Deep Dip: pt.2 of Liber 31 by Frater Achad

The Book of the Law made the bold claim that there was "one to come" after Aleister Crowley who would "discover the key of it all." When Charles Stansfeld Jones (aka Frater Achad) discovered the keyword "AL", it seemed to fit the bill, and Crowley was convinced this was his Magical Child predicted by the Book. Join us for Part 2 of our dive into Jones' Liber 31, wherein he expounds upon the spiritual breakthrough that led to the discovery of the Word, and the various ways the Keyword "opens the Book of the Law like a flower," to paraphrase Crowley.

The Abyss, pt.2 with Edward Mason

For the Magician who sets out to cross the infamous Abyss, there awaits on the other side either a place in the City of the Pyramids as a Master of the Temple... or madness amongst the so-called Black Brotherhood. But just what is this Abyss of which we speak? I discuss the topic with Edward Mason in this second of a two-part series.

An artist with a striking visual style who went by her last name, Cameron was known as a witch, a poet, and an actress. But she also saw herself as the vehicle for the incarnation of Babalon in the world, ever since Jack Parsons performed his Babalon Working and came to believe she had answered its summons. Rosemary Stehlik and I will delve into the incredible story of this hermetic yet hugely influential woman.

Deep Dip: Liber V vel Reguli, The Ritual of the Mark of the Beast

Liber V, or Book 5, is a Magick Ritual invoking the energies of the New Aeon, and its appended commentary elucidates Aleister Crowley's method of piercing beyond good and evil. We'll take a deep dive into this important Thelemic text.

Women of the Occult: Lady Frieda Harris

The Thoth deck is one of the most famous and influential Tarot decks ever put together, and the artist behind its explosively energetic and colourful cards was Lady Frieda Harris, a long-time friend and collaborator of Aleister Crowley. We’ll pay homage to this artist, author and mystic, as Rosemary Stehlik and I continue our look at Women of the Occult.

Deep Dip: Equinox of the Gods, Chapter 7

Aleister Crowley strives to lay out the circumstances surrounding the reception of The Book of the Law in part 4 of Book Four: The Equinox of the Gods. We'll deep-dive into Chapter 7, exploring some of the proofs and synchronicities surrounding this supernaturally-delivered text.

Women of the Occult: Dion Fortune

I'm joined by Rosemary Stehlik in this inaugural episode of Women of the Occult, a series where we explore and honor the prominent and influential women who have shaped occult thought and magical practice throughout history.

We'll take a look at Liber 418: The Vision & the Voice for further insight into the nature of Horus.
