Continuing along with my occasional series looking at different verses of Aleister Crowley’s infamous channeled work, Liber AL vel Legis, I would like to ask the question “Does Liber AL foresee OpenAI as the “company of heaven?” The classic text has already given us two EN language ciphers – English Qabalah (EQ) and Alphanumeric Qabalah […]
Spiritual Agents are Where It’s At Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God – Exodus 20:5 A current I’m picking up in general world affairs is a hugely rising interest in the esoteric. Western society kind of bet the farm on science
Several people asked me if they could access my version of The Headless Ritual, or Akephalos, online without having to buy the book – online here. So what I thought I would do would be to publish here all three of the rituals from that book without any of the body-based practices that go along
For those people who are asking me about how to search big texts – the Bible, Paradise Lost, etc – for specific gematria values, here’s how I do it. I’m totally not a techie so there are probably better ways but, thus far, this has worked well. I use my Windows 11 laptop. If you

Help me, o warrior lord of Thebes, in my unveiling before the Children of men – Liber AL vel Legis I:5 This line, from early in Chapter 1 of Liber AL, has fascinated me for a while now. It intrigues me. It seems to challenge me to understand it. It tells me it has something
The Liber AL vel Legis – a well-known mystical text – was channelled by Aleister Crowley in Cairo in 1904. Crowley himself published numerous commentaries on the work, in his endeavours to understand and share just what he’d received.

In these days where information can freely flow from one mind to another, unhindered by concerns for how true or otherwise it might be, there can be few people who have not heard the word, Illuminati – supposed beings with superhuman powers, invariably with malign intent for humanity. We’ve heard about the so-called Bavarian Illuminati.
On Sundays, when I’m in Istanbul, where I’m mostly living these days, I read Reza Negarestani’s Cyclonopedia: Complicity with Anonymous Materials (2008). I do this because of one of those bizarre synchroncities, Ah-hah moments, that very occasionally come into my life. Sometime in early 2024, I was sitting on a bench in a park adjacent
