The first session of my recent TOPY Class is now available at The Fenris Wolf Substack, with esteemed guest Matthew Levi Stevens: “The conversation is a detailed exploration of the Temple of Psychic Youth (TOPY), a magical network and cultural movement from the 1980s. Carl Abrahamsson and Matthew Levi Stevens share personal experiences of their involvement with TOPY, discussing its origins with Genesis P-Orridge and Psychic TV. They describe it as an experimental magical order that used sigil magic, networked through physical mail, and sought to merge art, occultism, and cultural creation. The group emphasized individual creativity, information sharing, and challenging societal norms. TOPY was characterized by its DIY ethos, interdisciplinary approach, and goal of personal transformation through magical and artistic practices, ultimately influencing numerous artists and thinkers.” #theetempleovpsychickyouth #topy #matthewlevistevens #genesisporridge #occulture #thefenriswolf...

In today’s MAGIC MONDAY at our Patreon, I write about the phenomenon of Libido Surfing: ”Why is this relevant? Because this extremely simple technique/method builds up a more controlled and powerful transcendental experience which will actually help you with better focus in approaching the crucial moment of ecstatic truth. So essentially it’s a matter of strength and volume attainable by magical method: a quantitative approach to quality, if you will. It’s a fun, healthy and highly magical way of libido-surfing your way to the stars!” #occulture #magicmonday #vanessasinclair #carlabrahamsson

Just posted a small introduction to the work of amazing artist Joseph Beuys: ”Beuys’s concept of “social sculpture” represents perhaps his most radical contribution to both art and political thought. Unlike traditional sculpture, which shapes inert materials into static forms, social sculpture proposed that society itself could be molded and transformed through conscious human activity. “Every human being is an artist,” Beuys famously declared, not because everyone should make conventional artworks, but because everyone possesses the capacity to reshape social relations and thereby participate in the ongoing creation of culture.” #josephbeuys #anartapart #carlabrahamsson

In this week’s WEEKLIES post at our Patreon, I write about the noble art of flower-pressing: ”I assume it’s also very much a Western pseudo-scientific-quasi-poetic attitude that essentially no longer exists: the desire to understand and interpret nature according to pioneering heroes like Darwin, von Humboldt, and of course, my Swedish namesake Carl von Linné (Linnaeus). But my experience tells me I have a hard time memorizing standard names as well as Linnaeus’s Latin ones – whereas traditional and genuinely Swedish names, often with bizarre local folk twists – are usually easily remembered. For instance, a nice and common ”Småkörvel” plant is technically named Anthriscus sylvestris, but has a multitude of weird names in Sweden: Hundkäx (dog’s biscuit), Hästkummin (Horse’s Kumin), Drottningens Spetsar (The Queen’s Lace). This anarchic-romantic-traditional naming fills me with great joy, as it can probably tell us more of the actual quality and possible meaning of the flower than any...
