Beginning February 21st, and for four online sessions in total, I will host the class INTRODUCTION TO OCCULTURE. What is Occulture, and why is it so trendy and popular? More than just a play on the words Occult and Culture, Occulture is a real phenomenon that affects mainstream life in many ways. In this class we will look at the history of Occulture, its terms, meanings, and dynamics. We will look at specifically occult occulture in history as well as contemporary examples, including key people and instigators, and we will also touch upon cultural occulture in the same way. Of course we will ask and possibly answer the most important question: why is there so much occultism, magic, and occulture around today? If you’re curious about these things, you should sign up for this four session online class with me, Carl Abrahamsson. In each session there will also be time and space for discussion and Q & A. I can’t wait to see you there, as we go through this informative and inspiring...

New Occulture Class
Time to sign up for my new class on Occulture… What is it, how, when, and why? We often hear the term “Occulture”—but what does it truly mean? More than just references to magic in popular media, occulture describes the merging of occult thought and broader cultural currents, forming a dynamic scene in which underground forces unmistakably rise to shape the mainstream, as they have throughout history and likely always will. What drives this recurring phenomenon, and why do we find ourselves increasingly immersed in occult themes today? Join Carl Abrahamsson—the author of the books ”Occulture: The Unseen Forces That Drive Culture Forward” and ”Introduction to Occulture” (who famously presented himself as an “occultural entrepreneur” on his 1989 business card) as he guides us through a survey of magnetic magical themes and the visionary individuals who have shaped culture throughout the centuries. The course also encompasses contemporary perspectives, including...
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Here’s my annual rearview review (FREE POST!): ”On the whole, 2025 has been an amazing year, and I’m grateful to be aware of this. The shadow or umbrella of my own second Saturn Return has been constantly present, but, again, of this I have been aware and most curious to follow. That shadow is, after all, my own. This year has presented a unique opportunity to divest myself of unnecessary traits and redundant social dynamics. It’s high time for new trajectories, or at least lighter ones. As I’m slow and very concretely Saturnian it’s great that I work on changing myself consciously and actively – I literally take time.” #happynewyear #newyear #thefenriswolf #anartapart # renderingunconcious #psychoanalysis #occulture #vanessasinclair #carlabrahamsson
