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 Fenris Wolf Podcast Ep 7
A new episode of the Fenris Wolf podcast howls today! Tune in to the DARK GODS OF MODERNITY! This episode – “Dark Gods of Modernity: Why We Still Need Monsters” – argues that our age is full of monsters, even if we pretend we’ve outgrown them—and that we actually need them. The episode starts with the old role of monsters: they used to patrol the edges of maps and myths, marking what was dangerous or sacred. Dragons, demons, trickster gods gave shape to fears and taboos; they were ways of saying, “There is something here we don’t understand, but it matters.” Modernity claimed to banish them with science and rationalism, yet they’ve only changed costume. Today’s monsters show up as serial killers in prestige TV, pandemics and plagues, rogue AIs, shadowy elites, conspiracy cabals, zombies and apocalypses in endless variations. Even in a secular culture, we keep inventing figures that condense dread, guilt, and awe. The episode’s core claim is that monsters are how a society metabolizes...
