We talk about many interesting things: my book Reasonances, Scarlet Imprint, talismanic publishing, creativity, art, occultism, occulture, individualism vs collectivism, Crowley, Thelema & Politics, and a lot more. The result can now be enjoyed right HERE! There is also a membership section with even more stuff, about magico-anthropology, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Anton LaVey, The Fenris Wolf and many other subjects and people. Information on how to access that second section of the interview is of course available on the site. To order a copy of Reasonances, please go HERE!

Psychedelic Press reviews Ernst Jünger

June 27, 2015

The great think tank-magazine-website Psychedelic Press reviews Edda Publishing’s edition of Ernst Jünger’s Visit to Godenholm in the most recent issue. Actually, it’s more than a review. Alan Piper roams through not only the book but also Jünger’s psychedelic history. As always with Psychedelic Press, everything is top-notch and super-interesting. I highly recommend getting a copy and perhaps even subscribing to this worthwhile publishing effort. Here’s a link to their website, from which you can order your copy! And the Jünger book can be ordered from Edda of course!

Nothing can turn into a void-trailer

June 20, 2015

The second film in the AN ART APART series has now been finished. It’s called Nothing Can Turn Into A Void and focuses on the British artist Vicki Bennett and her project People Like Us. Her work takes you on a journey into a world where literally anything can happen. Using her skills as an editor and a great sense of humor, she lets you roam through a world of imagination filled with contrasts and chance encounters between the past and the present. In performances, video work, music and collages, Bennett conveys that nothing is really what it seems. Nothing can turn into a void – An Art Apart: People Like Us (Sweden, 2015, 58 mins) Music by People Like Us. Edited by Henrik Møll & Vicki Bennett. Sound mix by Andrew McKenzie. Produced by Jakob Abrahamsson. Written, narrated and directed by Carl Abrahamsson. Nothing can turn into a void – An Art Apart: People Like Us (trailer) from Carl Abrahamsson on Vimeo.
