It is out. Are you in?Today my magical memoir Meetings with Remarkable Magicians – Life in the Occult Underground is published by Inner Traditions. It covers the time from magical awakenings (already in the cradle basically) and up until recently. The working title has been ”Two Times Saturn” as I now celebrate the passing of my second Saturn Return. In many ways, this book is literally ushering in a brand new phase for me.It’s been weird to write this autobiography, but in the best possible ways. Going through old diary notes from 1987 (when I started writing a diary) and onwards, correspondence, photos, objects, and of course the dear old memories in themselves was quite an experience. I can only quote Anaïs Nin: “We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.”That said, I haven’t only done it for myself as a reminder of my delightfully blessed life. I have to an equal degree thought of the readers, in the hope they can find inspiration on these pages, as well as in...

Bonus: The Fenris Wolf 12 intro
Here is a little weekend bonus for you… The introduction to the new issue of The Fenris Wolf. You can listen to it HERE as a sound file or read it here – or both, of course. If you’re interested in the book (and you should be), it’s available HERE. Enjoy! Vade Ultra! Carl — Welcome to the 12th issue of The Fenris Wolf. I am very happy about this issue because it provides ample examples of how much is going on in the intellectual occulture today, and how it interacts with magical praxis – often in the very same minds. This is as it should be. It’s extremely important to ventilate new and experimental ideas in times like ours, and to shine a magical light on both ”forgotten” culture as well as on current affairs. Hopefully it can help at least a few individuals to change their course of life for something more creative and generative – and in extension thereby helping others to do something similar. In transcending the expected, we get new insights. I seriously believe that efforts like...
New Chaos Magic comp!
This great book in which I’ve written about my love for the IOT magazine CHAOS INTERNATIONAL is now available on pre-order: This Is Chaos is the first collection of its kind showcasing where chaos magic has come from, where it is now, and most importantly where it is going. Helmed by one of the originators of chaos magic, Peter Carroll, and filled with essays by some of the most respected chaos magic workers who are redefining magic for the modern practitioner. Chaos magic emerged only a few decades back, but it has already grown into a magical tradition embraced by many. Chaos magic started under the influence of renowned artist and occultist Austin Osman Spare; it was then more codified by Peter J. Carroll and a few others. This Is Chaos delves into the history the magical system has come from, but more importantly looks at its current use and what the future holds. Chaos magic has always been about pushing new boundaries with a focus on belief utilizing aspects of...
