The Cube of Space, with Edward Mason

The Cube of Space is a conceptual layout for a Temple Space, arranging the 22 Trumps of the Tarot visualized at every surface, angle, and dimension of a cube. Edward Mason and I will explore the Cube of Space, and consider ways of incorporating fresh approaches to one’s Magical Practice.

Deep Dip: Kant's 'Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics'

The Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics by Emanuel Kant is one of the philosophy books recommended by Crowley to serious students of Magick and the occult. But why? Michael and I will dip into the bewildering depths of Kant's metaphysics to find out.

Stagione 5

Finale: Enochian Grammar, Listener Comments, & Crowleyan Controversies

As we wrap up Season 5, Michael and I chat about Enochian grammar, respond to listener comments, and discuss controversies surrounding Aleister Crowley: Satanist, racist, and possibly something far worse still. Listener discretion strongly advised for the last half-hour.

Dissonant Dialectic: Mogg Morgan's 'Morality, Amorality, and Immorality in Aleister Crowley's Thelemic Cult'

Modern Thelema is an evolving discourse that benefits from absorbing the manifold perspectives of the world. We’ll bounce off of Mogg Morgans paper, ‘The Heart of Thelema: Morality, Amorality, and Immorality in Aleister Crowley’s Thelemic Cult,’ as we innaugurate our new discussion series: Dissonant Dialectic.

Spinning Stories: 2001: A Space Odyssey

When tales tap into the subconscious, their themes can transcend the arbitrary boundaries set by the rational mind. We’ll see how Stanley Kubrick’s ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ maps against the critical stages of Thelemic Initiation, as part of our spinoff series: Spinning Stories.

Who is Edward Mason? with Edward Mason (Magician)

Edward Mason has been a regular guest on Darkly Splendid Abodes going back to our very first episode. But just who is this fellow with the English accent, who evidently lives in Mexico and yet has apparent magical ties to Toronto? Today Edward shares his own journey and experiences from a lifetime on the Magical Path, from involment with various Orders to founding his own Temple, and up to his past fourteen years spent with the Temple of the Silver Star.

The Wake World, by Aleister Crowley

The Wake World, or Liber 95 (XCV), is included as the first part of Aleister Crowley’s book “Konx Om Pax.” Originally written as a bedtime story for his daughter, Lola Zaza, it is an allegory for the initiatory ascent of the Tree of Life. Michael and I will compare our past explorations of the Divine Feminine, as we delve into this “Tale for Babes and Sucklings.”

The A∴A∴ Path; and Enochian Magic, with Frater Baltan

Frater Baltan is an Initiate of Crowley’s system of A∴A∴, and a practitioner of Enochian Magick. We’ll discuss these two Magical systems, on the one hand exploring what the A∴A∴ is for and what an Initiate can expect from it, and on the other discussing the dangers, purpose and best starting-point for Enochian Magic.

Deep Dip: Liber 418, Aethyrs 9 & 4

Liber 418, ‘The Vision & the Voice’ is the record of a series of Enochian visions scried by Aleister Crowley in 1900 and in 1909 e.v. These visions are the most well-known example of putting John Dee and Edward Kelly’s system of Angel Magic into practice. Michael and I will look at Aethyrs 9 and 4, and see how our Deep Dips to date aid us in understanding the Angel’s message.

The Stelé of Revealing, with Edward Mason

Of all the iconic images associated with Thelema, the most primal, sacred and important is the Stelé of Revealing, a funeral stelé dedicated to an Egyptian priest of the late 25th/early 26th dynasty, Ank-f-n-Khonsu. Edward and I will discuss this ancient depiction of the Thelemic Trinity.
