RU397: GORDON WHITE OF RUNE SOUP INTERVIEWS VANESSA SINCLAIR & CARL ABRAHAMSSON On Psychoanalysis, Art & the Occult, London, 2016 https://renderingunconscious.substack.com/p/ru397-gordon-white-of-rune-soup-interviews Join Rendering Unconscious Podcast at Substack for all new and archival episodes: https://renderingunconscious.substack.com Those who are involved the world of magic and the occult may have heard that Gordon White of Rune Soup has passed away. In homage to Gordon, I'm sharing this interview we did back in 2016, when Carl and I were promoting our very first Psychoanalysis, Art & the Occult conference 10 years ago. In fact, this was the first interview Carl & I ever did together. Thank you, Gordon. You will be missed. https://runesoup.com Rendering Unconscious episode 397. On this episode, Carl and I discuss our (at the time) upcoming interdisciplinary conference in London from May 5-8, 2016, with Gordon White of Rune Soup. The event explores the intersections of psychoanalysis, art, and the occult, and features a diverse range of speakers including Langston Kahn, Gary Lachman, Steven Reisner, Eve Watson, and Ingo Lambrecht. We emphasize the integration of psychoanalytic concepts, creative practices, and rituals, encouraging occultists to embrace psychoanalytical theories and conversely psychoanalysts to be more open-minded. The conference aims to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue and innovation, with a mix of academic panels, art exhibitions, and social events.

In the 12th episode of the Fenris Wolf podcast, Carl Abrahamsson explores the significance of tangible magical experiences and the interplay between the material world and the unseen. He critiques two extreme viewpoints: world-deniers, who see the physical realm as an illusion, and thoroughgoing materialists, who reduce all experiences to mere sensory data. Abrahamsson argues that both perspectives miss the richness of human experience. He emphasizes that the senses are not just tools for data collection; they are gateways to deeper understanding and connection with the world. By truly engaging with our senses, we can appreciate the vividness of life without clinging to it or dismissing its significance. The magical path involves recognizing both the material and the mysterious, where the body serves as an instrument of contact. Ultimately, he advocates for a balanced approach that acknowledges the reality of the world while remaining open to its inherent strangeness, suggesting that a truly magical life embraces both dimensions.

Join me Saturday 4/25 for the Rosicrucian Astrology LIMINALSTREAM where I investigate the order's 1922 manual and compare current and natal transits: https://www.youtube.com/live/zP5cCmYc5Dg?si=dXuoCz2kkRd2B78Q EDIT: AUDIO has been updated with a better mix--the intro monologue was recorded in a hushed rush during a late night somnambulant AirBnB stay, so better mixing was required! ∴∴∴∴ Transubstantiation of The Sacred Antenna & Traveling Temple This Aries stellium (re)birthed the long-divergent livestream faction of WE THE HALLOWED's broadckast & mutlimedia grimoire, PRAGMAGICK, long-dubbed and too-long-dormant: the LIMINALSTREAM. To be honest, I'm in sort of a crucible. My constant fight for time, energy, captial and time-energy capital to maintain the consistent output of projects such as We The Hallowed, Pragmagick, new albums and performances, micro-publishing Somatick Magicks for Patrons--all of it has had to be under dire review due to my stasis of having to work away from home just to maintain a home I'm rarely in. It's dire, drab, disheartening and all around heavy that the fight for supreme artistry in the face of a megalithic capitalist undertow seems both ever so necessary yet ever so unnoticed. The cost of running this site, let alone all the channels of which to create our arts without much qualms, if any really, or monetary issuance has proven to be an insurmountable affair as is. But I refuse to buckle or bribe or barter with the great machine, and have taken the heavy toll and burden to internalize why financial independence isn't afforded from these ventures alone. That probably isn't healthy either, yet I persist. After wilderness years spent toiling and tinkering with ways to charge the current, it has become all-too apparent that the livestream's capabilities of creating wholly intentional transmissions and 'third spaces' of performance, sermon and vexation without appeasing rent-mad venues, other people's intentions or allowance of artificial intelligence slop could nominally be achieved through the art magick adherence to the liminalstream transmission. And what better to initiate a new experimental era of a wide-spectrum of dipsatches than under this excitingly rare fire stellium currently transiting? Due to my increasingly laborious schedule largely spent away from the Dimming Room, it became all too apparent that my way through with keeping consistent tithes to ongoing projects, lifting connected artists and We The Hallowed haunts, and growing the burgeoning patreon base to hopefully one day not need to suffer so much survival in this monolithic capitalist nightmare structure, allow the liminalstream a wonderful spectrum of highly intentional, heavily produced to topic based, low-tech dispatches from the sacred antenna of the PRAGMAGICK broadckast current. Last week, I attempted a DIMMING ROOM dispatch that revealed a longtime telepathetic annoyance of an unwitting poltergheiszt, then streamed from the phone as I picked up the pieces and worked through this newfound revelation: https://www.youtube.com/live/xS6oqrlU6Gs?si=kao6bJ6LGBrtUhJ0 https://youtube.com/live/xS6oqrlU6Gs?feature=share Here, the attempted live ritual using a spiritbox and the in-room projections audio triggered of custom footage was finally due to to be shared with the world. The thesis and experimentation behind the scenes has long toiled with ways to imbue the communion with multi-sensory transmissions. This nominal release of the ritual where the objective was to contact LITTLE WIND (or more formally Z the Redreamer) concerning the intentions of this new era and current cosmick transits would not happen, however. For no discernable reason I was run ragged with technical issues throughout the premiere that I still have no calcuable way to avoid in the future, nor way to discern much of why two separate computers used for streaming fell due to never-before-seen internal errors, let alone the spiritbox actually breaking right after I had recovered the stream and was ready to push on! Alas, so many lessons learned that stream, one of which is that trying a huge array of objectives within one stream is not only suboptimal tech wise, but performance and demeanor-wise as acting host, producer and performer is far too hectic oversee whilst allowing the artistic heteronym to control this vehicle performing musick, initiate meditative videomancy sessions and tap into the gibber-gabber needed to monologue to an audience concerning all the intentions therein! Not only were there obscure and completely unfounded tech issues on the digital plane, but in the physical my spirit box literally broke right before the ritual tells me that I was radiating an unseen reckless energy like statick discharge from ungrounded finger tips. You see, this is a long-storied issue with my performances, and another reason I'm attempting to get the sea legs of confident performance through these liminalstreams; I know I'm radiating, emanating, manifesting a nervous energy that is poisonous to electrical currents. Intuitively, I know it's me. If only I had performed the intended current cleanse at the top of the show and rested my gheiszt a bit before spelunking into a deluge of wild sessions within one stream! So through wincing and frustrated tears I soldiered on and concluded with a makeshift altar/Dimming Room Current Cleanse to ward off whatever bad ghost juju projected from my unwitting self (or, for safety sake, some banishing of outside dark dudes too) with a musical saw bowed through effects and guitar pedals. Improvised magick is potent magick! https://youtu.be/2FQEUi8heVc?si=nTxikN2_zL6Q4M30 https://youtu.be/2FQEUi8heVc But all and all, as an induction ceremony to a new era of output, the liminalstream did it's job. The revelation of the nega-statik gheiszt that my intensity and anxiety unwittingly releases that has long caused obscure tech issues for my performances, alone, is worth the price of admittance. This very ex/o/rcise of the weekly liminalstream dispatches can help correct such energy diversions; and since, they've only gotten better if not more focused. It's this sort of deep, revelatory moment that makes the liminalstream so worthwhile to me as practitioner, aside from the usual experimental fare and art hexorcism the transmissions can dutifully provide. The next day, calm and collected and willing to show the lowtech side of the liminalstream spectrum, I went live as I repaired the spiritbox and discussed these revelations: https://www.youtube.com/live/eiGFmZKa-JA?si=Whq468SJtz9-GbEI https://youtube.com/live/eiGFmZKa-JA?feature=share This also introduced a rubric and schema to bookend the LIMINALSTREAM so that no-matter where it is dispatched, or the amount of production and featured topic, a sinew can bind and ordain the transmissions within the Liminalstream current: Each stream is construkted either behind the scenes prior, or during the stream itself, with the Divergent Magick Grimoire - this helps the anarchic contents find footing within a ritual schema and operating procedure whilst also keeping the expected torrential innards a little more approachable. It also bestows the title of each Rite as the title of each LIMINALSTREAM. Perhaps I can also utilize the Divergent Magick Online Rite Builder when the hard or paperback copy is not on hand, thus allowing viewers to peer into the process. In turn, each liminalstream that doesn't so much have a presupposed theme or even thumbnail artwork will utilize the DISRUPTION GENERATOR to reveal a divinatory theme and its respective image (Such as the title/artwork for the stream above has). This allows for two thirds of We The Hallowed's scripture troikatych (or threefold equation) to be continually charged and investigated while the newly formulated 'Tethers', or We The Hallowed connective ethos, is formulated for publishing. The finalizing of the 'TETHERS', in turn, will be a reoccuring and intermittent topic for future LIMINALSTREAMS as I have clued Patrons in on the formulation of this anarchic multimedia magickal collective's synthesis exalted within construction of The Tethers. PROSPEKTRE CURRENT COMMUNION: A SPIRITBOX/VIDEOMANCY RITUAL Session truly begins around 7 minutes in: https://www.youtube.com/live/dJlciIS6ywE?si=j39K1uYgM3Jf9WjC Around dawn, pacific time, I performed a “liminalstream” (public art magick ritual via Pragmagick youtube channel) showcasing a grounding-yet-road-opening initiatory Hauntomancy Ritual for this cosmick stellium that happens to be shuffling in my eighth house (if the natal chart birth time I've reverse-engineered is correct, of course.) I'm utilizing similar schema from my PROSPECTRE (sic) RITUAL by incorporating rubric from Listening Post Alpha (the solo “Estes Method” akin Spirit Box communion and the paramount and illucidating ALW Cipher Decoding post-session) yet not with audiomancy as I had previously interjected, but with hypnagogic inducing projections (think technicolor Dream Machine ala Gysin & Burroughs) of deeply intentional imagery (analog photography from dear friend and collaborator that adorned the ALGOL series of original musick I've recently released—who's New Mexican property holds a unique opportunity in our future) casted as in-room videomancy all captured by a VHS camcorder & analog dirty video mixer triggered by the Spiritbox transmissions. Stay tuned for decoding a deeper insight on what, or whom, came through. The ritual is not complete until the LISTENING POST ALPHA rubric of decoding using the ALW Cipher is drafted as a report. This may be a Patreon stream, specifically, while utilizing the public Liminalstream current to continue my weekly dispatches across a wide spektrum of production, focus and theme. Conversing with the spirit box for this new era using transmission triggered and live analog mixed/painted videomancy of custom footage and Logan Ford's analog photography (that accompanied Revelator Rosz's ALGOL I) to create a hypnagogic rhythmic technicolor atmosphere projected in room for immersive communion (somewhat partially akin to the Brion Gysin & William S. Burroughs Dream Machine experiments) Hauntomancy / Videomancy Aspekts: This communion was initiated with the ultraterrestrial known as Z the REDREAMER (or more colloquially, Little Wind) who was introduced through Listening Post Alpha sessions. The being's identity is purely speculation, but has often hinted that they may be the supraself or temporally displaced self-spektre of Revelator Rosz. https://keatsross.substack.com/p/haunt-of-the-aspectre-haunt-manual Videomancy exalted Dimming Room truly 'DIMS THE TZIM-TZUM': https://wethehallowed.org/audiomancy-videocast/https://keatsross.substack.com/p/salvo-siempre-salvo-haunt-manual : Using custom footage casted and mixed with dead tech necromancy as time engines (60's B&W Cathode Tube Amp Camera, VHS Camcorder as main camera, 90's panasonic analog video mixer and other thought obsolete talismanik devices with unfinished business finally realized with new applications.

This week, at least for Patrons if not publicly as well, I plan on streaming from a work trip as this rhythm is my new normal. And this new normal is hectic, lonely, uncomfortable and all-too insurmountable if not married with artistic and psycho-spiritual insight. So let the Liminalstream be the anchor to an otherwise rough scape forward. As I finalize the official summation and primer of Hauntomancy with the Spektrivium, codify We The Hallowed's metaphysical tenets and machinations with the updated Tethers, publish and create Somatick media releases in physical formats, and continue the musickal hexorcisms as Revelator Rosz and Dakota Slim, there could be no better, egalitarian and approachable transmission than that of the art magick livestream, or liminalstream. This month will see the release of the ALGOL hexkassette, a 90 minute collection of the Algol musickal series collected, with rarieties, thus far, for PATRONS and Somatick subscribers.

In episode 11 of the Fenris Wolf podcast, titled "The Earworms of My Mind," Carl Abrahamsson delves into the profound and often overlooked power of music, particularly its evocative capabilities and potential for magical use. Abrahamsson highlights how music is typically perceived as a passive experience, where listeners curate playlists or choose songs to set moods for relaxation or productivity. However, he suggests that music can also be a dynamic tool for emotional processing and magical practice. Abrahamsson discusses the phenomenon of Involuntary Musical Imagery (INMI), commonly known as earworms, where certain songs or tunes spontaneously surface in the mind and persistently loop. He notes that this involuntary recall can occur due to various triggers, including emotional states, contextual reminders, or even fatigue and stress, which may weaken cognitive inhibition. The brain's default mode network plays a crucial role in this process, replaying stored musical patterns similar to how it would complete familiar sentences. The podcast further explores the unique ways music is processed in the brain, engaging multiple systems, including the auditory cortex, cerebellum, basal ganglia, and limbic system—the latter being key to emotional memory. Abrahamsson points out that music's ability to encode autobiographical memories is particularly powerful, with songs capable of evoking vivid memories and emotions from the past. This phenomenon is evident in individuals with Alzheimer's disease, who often retain the ability to recognize and sing along to familiar songs despite significant memory loss. Abrahamsson highlights the historical exploitation of music for political and commercial purposes. Political movements have utilized campaign songs and anthems to foster emotional connections and group identity among supporters. Totalitarian regimes, such as Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, leveraged music to create a sense of community and ideological alignment. Contemporary advertising similarly employs music to evoke emotional responses and enhance brand recognition, using catchy jingles and familiar melodies to create involuntary associations with products. The discussion transitions to Muzak, a company that pioneered the use of background music in commercial settings to influence consumer behavior subtly. Abrahamsson reflects on the controversial nature of Muzak, which some critics view as manipulative and emotionally bland, while others argue it serves a functional role in enhancing environments. Exploring the psychological implications of music, Abrahamsson distinguishes between general exposure to catchy tunes and more profound personal connections through "Signifiers of the Psyche." He encourages listeners to reflect on the songs that linger in their minds, suggesting these may convey messages from their subconscious. Abrahamsson proposes a creative approach to utilizing music for personal empowerment. He suggests crafting one's own "hyper-jingles" or mantras that encapsulate specific goals or emotions, thereby reclaiming the musical territory often dominated by external influences. By consciously creating and repeating catchy phrases set to melodies, individuals can harness music as a magical tool for self-transformation. Finally, he discusses the concept of habituation, where repeated exposure to the same musical stimuli may diminish its effectiveness. He emphasizes the importance of refreshing one's musical repertoire, both in magical practices and everyday life, to maintain optimal emotional and psychological responses. The episode concludes with an invitation to listeners to explore the resources linked in the show notes, encouraging continued engagement with the themes discussed.

In this podcast episode titled "The Magician's Paradox," Carl Abrahamsson delves into the complex interplay between detachment and engagement in the pursuit of personal and spiritual growth. He poses a fundamental question: how does one navigate the tension between inward focus on self-development and outward engagement with the world's suffering? Abrahamsson begins by acknowledging that those who glimpse the hidden structures of reality often find themselves at a crossroads, faced with the choice between two seductive paths. One path leads inward, emphasizing personal growth and the preservation of one's inner energies, while the other compels individuals to engage with the external world and address human suffering. The challenge lies in finding a balance between these two extremes. He critiques the concept of detachment, arguing that it should not be equated with apathy or indifference. Instead, true detachment is portrayed as a disciplined emotional withdrawal that protects one's inner world from external turmoil. This perspective resonates with the archetype of the sage, who retreats from worldly affairs to cultivate personal purity and wisdom. However, Abrahamsson cautions against romanticizing this detachment, suggesting it may mask a cowardice that allows one to evade the moral responsibilities of engagement. Simultaneously, he examines the opposite extreme—an unbridled passion for activism that assumes individual actions can effect significant change. He illustrates this point with historical examples, including a ruler who sought to impose perfect justice but ultimately created new injustices. This reflects the butterfly effect, where well-intentioned actions can lead to unforeseen and sometimes detrimental consequences. Abrahamsson proposes a third way, which he calls "compassionate restraint" or "loving non-interference." Unlike the sage's detachment or the reformer's fervor, this approach recognizes the importance of working within the deeper structures of reality. The metaphor of the magician is introduced, who seeks to facilitate change not through direct action but by aligning with transformative energies. The magician does not impose solutions but serves as a conduit for genuine change, emphasizing the power of presence and resonance over direct intervention. The discussion shifts to the importance of personal example as a means of enacting change. A person who embodies integrity and compassion can inspire others without necessarily preaching or striving for conversion. This silent authority of presence can awaken authenticity in others, creating ripples of transformation. However, Abrahamsson warns of the potential for spiritual narcissism, where individuals conflate their inner peace with actual change in the world. He emphasizes the necessity of self-examination, urging individuals to reflect on their motivations for detachment or engagement. The podcast highlights the complexity of human action, suggesting that we cannot fully know the consequences of our choices, whether they involve action or inaction. Ultimately, Abrahamsson advocates for a stance of permanent uncertainty combined with commitment. By acknowledging the limitations of our understanding, we can engage with the world authentically, accepting that our choices matter, even if their impact is not readily apparent. The episode concludes by suggesting that living consciously, authentically, and with integrity is the best way to navigate the complexities of life, recognizing that the path is fraught with uncertainty and potential for self-deception.

In episode 9 of the Fenris Wolf Podcast, Carl Abrahamsson reflects on the significance of beginnings, particularly the start of a new year. He explores the human tendency to seek meaning in the arbitrary calendar reset and acknowledges the ancient narratives surrounding beginnings and endings, such as the cosmic egg and the phoenix. Despite our modern cynicism, he highlights the persistent hope that accompanies our New Year resolutions, suggesting that this hope is a powerful force for transformation. Abrahamsson emphasizes that time is a human construct, and while the universe is indifferent to our desires, our attention shapes our reality. Intentions set for the new year are commitments to allocate our energy and attention to what truly matters. He argues against the notion of destiny, advocating for the freedom to create our own meaning and choices. As the year unfolds, he notes a growing desire for authenticity and a shift away from outdated narratives of progress. He encourages listeners to embrace the creative potential of their choices and to be gentle with themselves amid failures. Ultimately, he invites us to recognize our power to shape our reality and to approach the year ahead with curiosity and kindness.

RU6: STEVEN REISNER ON THE DANCE OF THE OCCULT & UNCONSCIOUS IN FREUD https://renderingunconscious.substack.com/p/ru6-steven-reisner-on-the-dance-of Rendering Unconscious episode 6. This episode of Rendering Unconscious is a lecture by Dr. Steven Reisner “On the Dance of Occult and Unconscious in Freud” given at Morbid Anatomy Museum, NYC, October 2016, as part of a lecture series hosted by Dr. Vanessa Sinclair on Psychoanalysis, Art & the Occult. In this lecture, Dr. Reisner explores Freud's interest in the occult and its implications for psychoanalytic theory. Reisner argues that Freud's curiosity extended beyond sexuality to include phenomena beyond sensory perception. He discusses Freud's experiments with telepathy and thought transference, emphasizing the importance of integrating denied knowledge. Reisner also highlights Freud's cautious approach to disseminating such knowledge, balancing scientific rigor with public perception. Additionally, Reisner links Freud's theories to contemporary issues like resistance to knowledge and the impact of narcissistic or traumatized parents on their children's sensitivity to occult phenomena. This talk was first presented at a conference organized by Dr. Vanessa Sinclair and Carl Abrahamsson, exploring the intersections of Psychoanalysis, Art & the Occult, held in London, May 2016. The Fenris Wolf 9 is a book of collected papers from this conference anthologized by Sinclair and Abrahamsson. https://amzn.to/3XXcwnd Steven Reisner, PhD is a psychoanalyst and political activist in New York. He is a founding member of the Coalition for an Ethical Psychology, Advisor on Psychology and Ethics for Physicians for Human Rights and past-President of Psychologists for Social Responsibility.

Carl Abrahamsson, a prominent figure in the realm of occulture, reflects on his journey through the occult underground in a presentation originally written for the Occulture conference in Berlin, 2025. He shares insights from his life, which has been heavily influenced by various artistic and magical movements, as well as notable figures like Aleister Crowley, Anton LaVey, and Genesis P-Orridge. Abrahamsson discusses his experiences with different magical orders, including the Church of Satan and the OTO, and emphasizes the importance of individual intuition and creativity in the practice of magic and culture. He introduces his recent works, including “Meetings with Remarkable Magicians” and “Introduction to Occulture,” highlighting the need for practitioners to articulate their experiences and ideas in ways that academics can understand, thus bridging the gap between esoteric knowledge and mainstream culture. He elaborates on the concept of “occulturation,” the process by which hidden knowledge becomes manifest in culture, and advocates for a focus on individual empowerment and the transformative power of creativity. Abrahamsson also critiques the academic approach to magic, arguing that while it can help validate the field, it often fails to capture the essence of magical practice, which is inherently creative and deeply human. He concludes by asserting the necessity of personal authenticity and the importance of sharing knowledge and inspiration, positing that true magic lies in the continuous unfolding of one's self and the embrace of individual freedom. https://thefenriswolf.substack.com https://anartapart.substack.com https://www.patreon.com/vanessa23carl https://www.carlabrahamsson.com
George Noory and author Carl Abrahamsson discuss the worlds of magic and the occult, how magic allows users to actually change reality, and his interactions with notorious satanist Anton LaVey.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is a special collaboration between Rendering Unconscious and The Fenris Wolf podcast! https://thefenriswolf.substack.com This conversation between Carl Abrahamsson and Vanessa Sinclair reveals a rich dialogue between two collaborators deeply engaged in exploring the intersections of occult culture, psychoanalysis, and contemporary society. Carl discusses his long-running project, The Fenris Wolf, which he has been publishing since 1989 as a journal dedicated to what he terms "occulture" - the fascinating intersection where occult practices meet and influence mainstream culture. Now in its 12th issue with a 13th forthcoming, the project has evolved to include a Substack newsletter that provides more frequent content including book reviews, current affairs, and recorded teachings. Carl emphasizes how underground cultural movements gradually permeate and transform mainstream society, a process he has witnessed and participated in for over three decades.

Welcome to Rendering Unconscious – the Gradiva award-winning podcast about psychoanalysis & culture, with me, Dr Vanessa Sinclair. https://renderingunconscious.substack.com RU354: KARIN VALIS ON AI & PSYCHOANALYSIS https://renderingunconscious.substack.com/p/ru354-karin-valis-on-ai-and-psychoanalysis Rendering Unconscious episode 354. On this episode of Rendering Unconscious, I sat down with Karin Valis to talk about AI, psychoanalysis, cut-ups and magic. This is how AI summarizes our conversation (with some minor edits): Karin Valis, a machine learning engineer based in Berlin, discusses the intersection of AI and psychoanalysis, highlighting the dangers of AI therapists exacerbating mental health issues. She notes the rise of AI psychosis on Reddit, where AI's helpful programming can deepen users' delusions. Karin also explores AI's role in reflecting and influencing the unconscious, comparing it to a language virus a la William S. Burroughs. Karin plans to publish a book on AI's impact, focusing on female/femme perspectives, and is developing an AI journaling tool to aid personal growth and self-reflection.

In this podcast episode, Carl Abrahamsson explores the concept of finding one's own path in life, emphasizing the balance between societal expectations and personal authenticity. Drawing on Daoist philosophy, he uses the metaphor of water, which flows effortlessly around obstacles, to illustrate the importance of adapting to one's natural inclinations rather than conforming to rigid structures. Abrahamsson argues that while traditions and systems can provide valuable guidance, they should not be mistaken for absolute truths. Instead, individuals should approach them with discernment and respect, understanding that their unique experiences shape their journeys. He highlights the significance of cultivating stillness, observing one's inclinations without judgment, and embracing paradoxes in life. The episode encourages listeners to practice non-attachment to outcomes and to develop a nuanced relationship with established frameworks. Ultimately, Abrahamsson asserts that the most authentic path arises not from rebellion or conformity but from a natural flow that honors one's true self while participating in the broader journey of existence.

Vanessa Sinclair, PsyD is a psychoanalyst in private practice, who works remotely online with people all over the world. She hosts the internationally-renowned podcast Rendering Unconscious, which was awarded the Gradiva Award for Digital Media by the National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis (NAAP).Dr. Sinclair is the author of Things Happen (2024), Scansion in Psychoanalysis and Art: The Cut in Creation (2021), The Pathways of the Heart (2021), and Switching Mirrors (2016).She is the editor of Psychoanalytic Perspectives on the Films of Ingmar Bergman: From Freud to Lacan and Beyond(2023), as well as the Rendering Unconscious: Psychoanalytic Perspectives book series.Dr. Sinclair co-edited The Queerness of Psychoanalysis: From Freud and Lacan to Laplanche and Beyond (2025) with Elisabeth Punzi and Myriam Sauer, as well as Outsider Inpatient: Reflections on Art as Therapy (2021) with Elisabeth Punzi, On Psychoanalysis and Violence: Contemporary Lacanian Perspectives (2019) with Manya Steinkoler, and The Fenris Wolf vol 9 (2017) and The Fenris Wolf vol 11 (2022) with Carl Abrahamsson. She is a founding member of Das Unbehagen: A Free Association for Psychoanalysis, sits on the International Advisory Board for the journal Psychoanalysis, Culture & Society, and is Editorial Advisor for Parapraxis Magazine.Vanessa and I talk about her upcoming course with Morbid Anatomy, “The Cut in Creation: Exploring the Avant-Garde, Dada, Surrealism, Modern Art, Noise Music, and Performance Art through a Psychoanalytic Lens.” This course will be taking place on Sundays, from May 25- June 15, and all classes will be recorded for those who can't make it to the live class for whatever reason.As the Morbid Anatomy website states: Drawing on the theories of a variety of psychoanalysts, including Freud, Lacan and Laplanche, the course will explore the long and rich relationship between psychoanalysis and the fine arts – from painting and music to poetry, collage, photography, film, and performance art, including the use of technology and body modification to explore aspects of identity, gender and sexuality. Through immersion in the work of these artists and psychoanalytic ideas, participants will walk away with a better understanding of the transformative process inherent of the act of creation itself, especially when used as a powerful disruption of narrative, and hopefully feel inspired themselves to create! In this discussion, Vanessa gives a sneak peek into each of the four parts of the course. Some highlights are: talking about the inspiration for the course;outlining the events that led to the creation of psychoanalysis as well as the avant-garde movement;expanding on the historical backdrop – what was happening during these years that created this paradigm shift;looking at the years leading up to WW1, and what was taking place then, focusing on psychoanalysis and the avant-garde art scenes;focusing on surrealism and later developments in experimental film, followed by some discussion on the Beat Poets, and outlining how these three are interconnected;focusing on the birth of pop art, and art as it moved from the galleries to the streets, as well as performance art that included the body as an important vehicle/tool of expression.

In this podcast episode, Carl Abrahamsson explores the contemporary occult scene, emphasizing its dual role as both a reflection of our collective consciousness and a potential catalyst for social change. The term "occult," derived from the Latin "occultus," highlights practices historically shrouded in mystery. However, today's modern occultism has emerged into the open, resonating with contemporary anxieties and aspirations. Abrahamsson examines the rise of astrology and pop witchcraft among millennials and Gen Z, linking these trends to broader societal issues like economic instability and environmental crises. The commercialization of occult practices, from crystal shops to tarot subscriptions, reflects the tensions of consumer culture while modern aesthetics and technology integrate seamlessly with traditional practices, fostering a highly individualistic spiritual landscape. He argues that while the occult scene's diversity poses challenges for achieving consensus, it also allows for organic cultural influence. Shared themes—such as ecological awareness and psychological transformation—emerge across varied practices. Additionally, the internet facilitates connections among different traditions, enabling a dialogue that can inspire collective change. Ultimately, Abrahamsson posits that the contemporary occult is not merely escapism but a vibrant cultural laboratory where new models of meaning and community can evolve. In a disenchanted world, the occult's enchantment offers pathways to engage with pressing societal questions, blurring the lines between the occult and the mainstream and shaping our cultural future. https://thefenriswolf.substack.com CONTACT/SOURCE MAGIC MENTORSHIP: carl AT carlabrahamsson DOT com
In the second episode of The Fenris Wolf Podcast, Carl Abrahamsson explores the evolution of contemporary occultism and the relationship between artistic creation and magic. He reflects on how historical occult practices were structured and hierarchical, contrasting them with the more fluid and individualistic approaches seen today. Abrahamsson notes that current societal chaos and instability have led to the rise of personal practices that blend various traditions, emphasizing adaptability and individual empowerment. He discusses the importance of collective action and personal development, suggesting that true change comes from individuals working on themselves as part of a larger interconnected web of transformation. He introduces the idea that the "Great Work" involves each person recognizing their role in the collective, working not in isolation but as part of a greater pattern. Abrahamsson emphasizes the transformative power of artistic creation as a form of practical alchemy, arguing that art can facilitate profound personal and societal change. He shares a story about a mentee who found healing through creating music, illustrating how artistic expression can encode intentions and emotions that resonate on a collective level. He encourages listeners to integrate artistic practices into their magical work as a way to harness this transformative potential. Ultimately, he posits that the merging of magic and art is key to navigating the challenges of modern life. https://thefenriswolf.substack.com
RU337: Myriam Sauer, Griffin Hansbury, M.E. O'Brien & Tobias Wiggins on The Queerness of Psychoanalysis: https://renderingunconscious.substack.com/p/ru337-myriam-sauer-griffin-hansbury Myriam Sauer, Griffin Hansbury, M.E. O'Brien, and Tobias Wiggins are here to discuss their contributions to The Queerness of Psychoanalysis: From Freud and Lacan to Laplanche and Beyond (Routledge 2025) edited by Vanessa Sinclair, Elisabeth Punzi, and Myriam Sauer: https://amzn.to/4l84P8q The Queerness of Psychoanalysis: From Freud and Lacan to Laplanche and Beyond is an exploration of psychoanalysis' often complicated and fraught history with thinking about queerness, as well as its multifaceted heritage. Throughout the chapters, the contributors write about psychoanalysis' relationship with queerness, the ways in which queerness is represented in the psychoanalytic archive, and how that archive endures in the present and creates various disruptive effects both within and beyond the clinic. Each chapter from the global cohort of contributors approaches queerness from a different angle: they consider the literary aspects of queerness' presence in the analytic world; the clinical complexities of working with queer and trans people; metapsychological inclusion and exclusion of queerness, and many other subjects. Taken together these contributions constitute a decisive intervention into the psychoanalytic canon. They are an unabashed demand for accepting and furthering the representation and inclusion of queer, and in particular trans, people within psychoanalysis. It is a call for action to utilize and deepen psychoanalysis' enormous explicatory powers and bring together voices that have so far been denied a unity of expression, while critically reevaluating psychoanalysis' historical relationship to queerness. Written almost exclusively by analysts, scholars, and activists who identify as trans and/or queer, this important volume puts theory into practice by centering queer and trans voices.

RU336: BLANCHE BARTON ON DANCING IN THE GRAVEYARD: DEATH IMAGERY IN SATANISM & CARL ABRAHAMSSON PRESENTS MEMENTO MORI FOREVER: https://renderingunconscious.substack.com/p/ru336-psychoanalysis-art-and-the Join Rendering Unconscious at Substack: https://renderingunconscious.substack.com Rendering Unconscious episode 336. For this episode, we have two lectures from the Psychoanalysis, Art and the Occult series of events at Morbid Anatomy Museum: Dancing in the Graveyard: Death Imagery in Satanism by Blanche Barton and Memento Mori Forever by Carl Abrahamsson. Dancing in the Graveyard: Death Imagery in Satanism by Blanche Barton “Life is the great indulgence—death, the great abstinence. Therefore, make the most of life—HERE AND NOW!” So reads a phrase from the opening chapter of The Satanic Bible. But if Satanism, true Satanism as defined by Anton LaVey in 1966, is a profoundly life-loving religion, why all the black candles, skulls, and funerary trappings? The use of a coffin in the ceremony known as “L'air Epais—the Ceremony of the Stifling Air”, for example, goes well beyond a simple memento mori to remind ourselves how fleeting is our time here on Earth. The coffin becomes, like the Hanged Man in the tarot, a symbol of both death and transformation. Memento Mori Forever by Carl Abrahamsson For the human individual, there is no greater arbiter than death itself. Anxiety and fear are the very shadow-side fundaments of human religiosity, and nowhere is magical thinking as present as in thoughts and emotions touching upon (the fear of) death. One reason why human neurosis reaches ever new heights in contemporary culture is our distancing from death itself, and our painting ourselves into a corner of abstracted and compensatory imagination. How to cope? How to improve this highly detrimental neurosis and its dangerous side effects, such as monotheism? Carl Abrahamsson is a Swedish author, photographer, and filmmaker. He is also the editor and publisher of the highly renowned anthologies in The Fenris Wolf series. https://amzn.to/4bFDWnP Follow him at Linktree: https://linktr.ee/CarlAbrahamsson The Fenris Wolf Substack: https://thefenriswolf.substack.com An Art Apart Substack: https://anartapart.substack.com Blanche Barton is the present Magistra Templi Rex of the Church of Satan, having been a member for 45 years.

In this episode, I discuss my recent trip to the London, the highlight of which was my pilgrimage to the Freud Museum, where my husband, Carl Abrahamsson, gave a lecture on the films "Seconds" (1966) and "The Substance" (2024) with Freudian cinephile Mary Wild as discussant. I am happy to say my visit to the Freud Museum gave me renewed enthusiasm for the field. The museum's existence is so significant for psychoanalysis, especially during these times of rising fascism, as it was where Freud when fellow psychoanalyst Marie Bonaparte helped him and his family escape Vienna. I then delve into my book series Rendering Unconscious: Psychoanalytic Perspectives, detailing its origins, contributors, and themes.

In this episode of Spirit Box, I'm joined by the multitalented Carl Abrahamsson, a photographer, a writer, filmmaker, and magician deeply embedded in the world of esotericism.We discuss his latest book, Meetings with Remarkable Magicians: Life in the Occult Underground, which explores his encounters with some of the most fascinating figures in contemporary esotericism, offering unique insights into their practices, philosophies, and influence on modern occult culture.Carl shares his creative journey, from his early influences—shaped by avant-garde art and music—to his academic work on Aleister Crowley's influence in cinema. He provides insights into his experiences with notable occult figures, including his time with the Church of Satan and his connections to Kenneth Anger and Genesis P. Orridge.In the Plus show, we delve into the role of artists as vessels for magical currents, the impact of psychedelic experiences on art, and the necessity of holistic approaches to modern challenges. Along the way, we touch on everything from the power of old films to the importance of trusting one's inner voice. We also explore the evolving landscape of occult publishing, the mainstreaming of esoteric thought, and the importance of creativity as a means of self-discovery.Join us for a wide-ranging conversation on magic, creativity, and the ever-changing nature of the occult underground.Show Notes:Carl's websitehttps://www.carlabrahamsson.comMeetings with Remarkable Magicians: Life in the Occult Undergroundhttps://www.amazon.com/stores/Carl-Abrahamsson/author/B0773LJ92XCarl's Substackhttps://thefenriswolf.substack.comPatreonhttps://www.patreon.com/vanessa23carlLucifer Risinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yc24lIdb_8The Holy Mountainhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avTOLTUqf1w&rco=1Sergei Eisensteinhttps://www.britannica.com/biography/Sergey-EisensteinBattleship "Potemkin" by Sergei Eisensteinhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_bkBbrdyywEisenstein on Joycehttps://www.nova-nevedoma.com/eisenstein-about-joyce/Kenneth Angerhttps://www.anothermag.com/design-living/14890/cult-filmmaker-kenneth-anger-on-his-relationship-with-the-occultAnton LeVayhttps://www.britannica.com/biography/Anton-LaVeyGenesis P.

Join us for an extraordinary conversation with Carl Abrahamsson as he unveils his latest book, Meetings with Remarkable Magicians: Life in the Occult Underground. In this episode, Abrahamsson takes us through his journey into the world of magic, weaving together encounters with legendary occult figures and reflections on his own path through mysticism. Drawing from decades-old diaries, archives, and forgotten experiences, he reveals how these influences have shaped not just his practice but also his worldview. Abrahamsson discusses his start in the Ordo Templi Orientis in the late '80s, early studies of Crowley, and the allure—and eventual disillusionment—with structured magical orders. He explores the tension between hierarchy and personal empowerment in occult circles, offering a critique of charismatic systems that tend toward cult-like rigidity. We dive into his transformative experiences with traditions like the Golden Dawn and his views on the recent surge of interest in the occult amid societal crises. From reclaiming individual agency to building authentic spiritual connections, Abrahamsson shares a deeply personal perspective on the evolution of magic. Tune in for a rare glimpse into the life of a modern-day magician and discover why he believes individuation, rather than dogma, is the heart of the Western esoteric tradition. Links & Resources:

Darkness Radio presents Meeting With Remarkable Magicians: Life in the Occult Underground with Researcher/Author, Carl Abrahamsson! What does it mean to live a life as an occultist? There may be no single answer, but for Carl Abrahamsson, it has involved work in music, art, and film as well as deep involvement with renowned occult figures and organizations for more than 40 years. Illustrating the possibilities of a life infused with magic, Abrahamsson reflects on his decades spent in the company of some of the most unconventional thinkers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Revealing how his immersion in both the underground and above-ground world of art and the occult only grew through his adolescence and into adulthood, the author details his involvement with psychedelic culture, the punk subculture, and numerous occult figures and organizations, including Genesis P-Orridge and Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth, Anton LaVey's Church of Satan, the Ordo Templi Orientis, and a branch of the American Golden Dawn. On today's show, we talk with Carl Abrahamsson about his new book, "Meeting With Remarkable Magicians: Life in the Occult Underground". We talk about what made HIM so special that people of such stature wanted to take him under their wing, How music infuses with magick, and how the future of technology wil affect magick and "occulture" in the future!
