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
Philosopher Anna Greenspan’s PhD dissertation, Capitalism’s Transcendental Time Machine (2000), like the early work of her associate Nick Land, has recently experienced a significant revival of attention. Concerns about the direction that our world is taking have beset a new generation of thinkers, both in the philosophical mainstream and the alternative realm. As a result, certain strange
Accessing Full Body Consciousness The Headless Ritual is a 15-minute long visual formulation that you perform in your mind and that I have just written a short book about.

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
Liber AL Rejects Meditation Aleister Crowley’s channelled work from 1904, Liber AL vel Legis, or Book of the Law, is famous for being riddled with, well, riddles, most of which he himself openly admitted he couldn’t unravel. Earlier on, I’ve had a crack at a few of the better known ones. This one is a
Opening the Body with the Cube of Space My much-awaited new book, the first to weave together these fields, is now available on Amazon and elsewhere. Opening the Body with the Cube of Space explains the real nitty-gritty of the Alchemical process of self-illumination and how you can utilise Reichian and Bioenergetic techniques to speed it
