PURCHASE HARDBACK VIA AMAZON: https://a.co/d/ck9mfZz Watch the Unedited Liminalstream Introduction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJDFZ-iAB7A&t=5 THE DIVERGENT MAGICK ANARCHIC GRIMOIRE "From PRAGMAGICK creator and perpetual fuck up, Revel Rosz, comes the Divergent Magick Anarchic Grimoire. A workbook that offers a framework to create, construct, disrupt, and rejuvenate the rites and rituals that form your personal lore. It's Divergent because it doesn't adhere to a single current, reflecting the diverse nature of each person's individuation process. Additionally, it's divergent because the creator is a neurodivergent schemer, always seeking to merge the pragmatic with the magical. The grimoire's 40-plus ritual cycles encompass metaphysical frameworks for various aspects, be it artistic projects, health habits, or creating/deconstructing magickal rituals. Each rite cycle can delve into the neurotic details of a single step, making the grimoire a major rite in itself! The only rule: customize everything! Let this tool assist your anarchic praxis in ritualising the mundane, echoing the profane, and resonating with sacred rites that shape your personal lore. Hardbacks and paperbacks are available on Amazon. Contact PRAGMAGICK-(at)-Gmail-dot-com to be part of the grimoire's own deconstruction and rebirth!" After years of working with Eric Millar and his We The Hallowed Press bouts of independent publishing, I decided I would take a stab at creating custom, blank journals—largely for myself and my endless need of scribble books. I designed a blank journal with PragMagick's Austin Osman Spare Planchette insignia, only the image on the cover, but needed to publish it to the public to get my discounted author copies, so I pummeled through the annoying minutiae of listing it for sale to a general audience. I knew how niche and specific these designs were, and had no expectation about them selling. The simple praxis of self-publishing these wholly custom journals got me itchy about all the publishing projects from the early We The Hallowed era. Hell, even Revelator Rosz, my rebirthed moniker reinvigorated by the Prospectre Ritual, is still listed as an author to the first ever We The Hallowed zine. Dissolving the internal dissonance I've felt with We The Hallowed as a magickal apparatus of late, echoing its ethos of anarchic revelries of shared metaphysical creations, and finally, resounding in the thirdscene of both made new—allowed me to construct this anarchic grimoire, this workbook, this rubric for user-created ritual construction. PURCHASE HARDBACK VIA AMAZON: https://a.co/d/ck9mfZz THE ANARCHIC SCHEMA The Grimoire is simple. The book gives space for the aspects of a rite, it gives space for the ruminations and visitations of a rite's attempts, space to catalogue a personal sigil alphabet, and, most importantly, it introduces the “Disolver Eco Resonar” method to assist in ritual ruination, reconstruction and rebirth of all of the above. This very chapter of the Haunt Manual was guided by this D E R method—as the Spectre of 2017 dissolves, the Aspectre of a thought lost self echoes, and the resonance of these workings haunt on through the Prospectre of self and future works… My aims of this Grimoire are threefold: 1) To hone and construct my own ritual processes within an organized schema 2) To have this become the backbone for a resurgence in community driven magicks 3) To deconstruct & rebirth new schema for updated volumes. My hope is that the Divergent Magick Anarchic Grimoire is not only found useful for neuro-divergent and neuro-typical minds alike, but also inspires a community of sharing these anarchic recipes for life in the form of their custom rituals. Perhaps this tome can become the tool to discover the constants, to discover the inherent. Perhaps this is vessel for the intentionally customizable scripture of this self-styled art-religon's “Tethers?” We shall see. Notes on terminology From Elena (SorcerersHomie): Praxis: Rite, ritual, practice, cycle. Tethers: Additional notes that don't entirely belong to the other sections of the praxis. Intention: Succinctly articulated objective of the praxis. Spectres: [Note to self] Go read Keats' entry on this as well as the following. These are external or internal contacts—deities, spirits, intelligences, saints, notions i.e., "certain musicians' pathos," etc., with whom you wish to parlay your intentions. Talismans: Physical objects to be utilized in the rite. These may be tools for some specific purpose or items used symbolically toward the aims of sympathetic magic. Invo/evocation Sequence: A distillation of the rite's sequence into nine distinct steps. For best results, they should be comprehensible to a second person. Sigil: A symbolized representation of the praxis (via the usual means). Declarations: The praxis' "prayers, chants, decrees, etc." or the song's lyrics, mission statement, etc. The text of the rite. Observations: "Note the conditions within and outside the self. A micro mindfulness meditation to break you away from the fervor of craft creation." 1 Month Later: Reflections after a month. Disolver: Admissions of obstacles to the rite's work that should be resolved. I think of these as "the trees," as in, "can't see the forest for the trees." Keats writes: "Dissolve them to see past [them]" in this section. Eco: "What do you need to keep performing? These are actions; these are movements. Roar the elements that worked to have them amplified and repeat!" Josephine [McCarthy] always reminds us patterning strengthens ritual actions. Knowing this, what actions will you repeat in future? Resonar: "A revelatory whim materializes. [...] What is it you hope wallows and lingers on from the praxis?" What epiphanies from the praxis process our outcome will you carry with you? What do you want to ring out in perpetuity? K also adds: "Haunt • Emanate • Unify • Resolve." Many potential meanings to Resonar. Thanks to Jenny Rocky for her amazing example used in the podckast! Thanks to Derek Hunter for the kind words about the Grimoire!

CHAPTER 1 First published in French in 1911, this practical guide to the art of spagyrics also outlines the ancient yet forgotten Hermetic foundations of herbalism. The author provides botanical and medicinal classifications for over 600 plant species and detailed instructions for spagyric extracts, tinctures, elixirs, liquors, oils, unguents, salts, aquae vitae, and quintessences.   Buy the book here   CHAPTER 2 GREG'S CHOICE The Dionysian themed frescos of Pompeii’s Villa of the Mysteries constitute the single most important theurgical narrative to have survived in the Western esoteric tradition. No other practitioner account of the ritual process for conducting a mystery rite has survived down to today. The frescoes’ vivid and allusive imagery illuminates both the ritual activity of the participants as well as its esoteric import. Arising from within the unique interface between Greek and Roman culture in Southern Italy, the frescoes attest to the survival of an unbroken initiatic tradition of Bakkhic mystery rites on the Italian peninsula stretching back to the fifth century BCE. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Peter Mark Adams draws on current scholarship on dithyrambic performance; the ritual dress of Greco-Roman priestesses; classical philology and the comparative ethnography of rites of higher initiation.    Book details and purchase here Greg's Occult of Personality   In each episode Greg Kaminsky, the creator of the great "Occult of Personality" podcast, presents again a book of his choice. Greg Kaminsky is a scholar of the Western esoteric tradition, with a graduate degree in Medieval Studies, focusing on Renaissance Cabala. Greg became an initiate in several traditions including Illuminism and Freemasonry. Greg is also host and producer of Occult of Personality, a highly regarded and long-running podcast. The book is presented by Ursula Cserenyi. From her very early childhood on, Ursula Cserenyi‘s life was filled with spiritual experiences. Later she found the appropriate words in books. Occultism and esotericism have been a part of her life for more than 20 years. Her interests included Wicca, Theosophy, Ritual Magic, Thelema, Shamanism and other paths. Today she feels a strong connection with Josephine McCarthy’s Quareia work and Babalon, the Red Goddess. CHAPTER 3 This book will introduce you to foundations and practical methods of Draconian magic as a path of self-initiation. You will learn how to start your practice on the Path of the Dragon, establish contact with gods and spirits that will assist you in this work, build your personal temple, prepare tools for your rituals, and design your own workings and exercises. There are instructions that will help in your astral travels and dream magic, teach you how to work with seals and sigils, enhance your magical senses, and show you how to use gates and doorways to the Other Side. Practices such as blood sacrifice and sex magic are discussed in a practical way as well. You will read here about the Draconian Tradition, as well as the Left Hand Path in general, learning what it means to be a Draconian Initiate. Get the book here CHAPTER 4 Aleister Crowley is beyond doubt the most influential occultist of the 20th century. While he is hailed as one of the giants of the esoteric sciences, very little attention has been devoted to Crowley’s years as a Cambridge undergraduate (1895 –1898), when the author wrote and published an incredible amount of verse: thispoetry, firmly planted within the vogue of the day,

"And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him." - Genesis 5:24. The Royal Arch of Enoch: The Impact of Masonic Ritual, Philosophy, and Symbolism documents an undiscovered historical anomaly: how a high degree Masonic Ritual, developed in France in the mid 1700s, included elements of the Book of Enoch which was considered lost until Freemason and traveler James Bruce returned to Europe with copies from Ethiopia in 1773.  Book details and purchase here Greg's Occult of Personality   Greg Kaminsky is a scholar of the Western esoteric tradition, with a graduate degree in Medieval Studies, focusing on Renaissance Cabala.

CHAPTER 3 The sheer diversity of popular magic connected with sacred wells and springs is remarkable. Inseparable from the ancient cults of saints and spirits of place, the natural springs and wellheads of the British Isles have come to be famed loci of healing, divination, and spiritual revelation. Some, possessing long traditions of votive and sacrificial offerings, have assumed powers of spirit-guardianship, or, indeed, divinities of water. Other such wells are the repositories of eldritch lore connected with the cult of the skull and the Holy Head. Additionally, bodies of magical practice have developed around some wells, serving a variety of magical purposes, including blessings and curses, healings and the dispensation of prophetic power. In almost every case, there is a specific magical relation between the waters as a medium of spirit, and the surrounding features of the land. The book is presented by Ursula Cserenyi.  Get the book here CHAPTER 4 For over 30 years Lon Milo DuQuette has written incisively about the tarot, magick, Qabalah, and divination and provided introductory material for the most renowned authors on these topics, such as Aleister Crowley, Israel Regardie, John Dee, Frater Achad, Rodney Orpheus, H. P. Lovecraft, Phyllis Seckler, John Michael Greer, Susan Montag, Donald Michael Kraig, and many others. Considered as a whole this collection of writings provides an invaluable introduction to many aspects and personalities of the occult and esoteric worlds by one of the foremost authorities on such arcane subjects. Collected here are Lon’s best writings, each crafted with an eye toward the importance and immortality of the work with his studied insight and scholarship, along with his renowned sense of humor.

CHAPTER 1 Guiliano KREMMERZ has been one of the most important representatives of the Italian and European Hermeticist movements in the early 20th century.

THREE OF THE FOUR BOOKS WE PRESENT IN THIS EPISODE ARE ABOUT DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO MAGIC, A KIND OF "HOW TO" ON DIFFERENT SCHOOLS AND TECHNIQUES. CHAPTER 1 In this short interview, author Derek Hunter and I speak about his own version of magic and alchemy, Love Chaos, at the occasion of the launch of his new book "Love Chaos in Theory and Practice". The transformation implied here is a change in consciousness, in the way of seeing the world, in seeing yourself, in changing who you are and by doing thus, changing the world. The process of change is unconventional but not without respect to the past, and also open to everyone. Incorporating storytelling, music, art, philosophy, psychology, occult practices such as tarot, magick, mysticism, Love Chaos takes a holistic approach to transformation.

CHAPTER 3 When you think of magic, do you imagine something supernatural, extraordinary, or beyond your everyday reality? Many of us are drawn to magic because we think there’s something "out there" that can bring enchantment and wonder back into our lives. Yet there’s a secret to real magic: the extraordinary is much closer than you may think.

I sat down with writer Alexis P. Morgan recently and got to talk with her about what it means to be a spiritual warrior. Alexis P. Morgan is the pole-dancing, sword-wielding, democratic socialist, on-the-low-heaux sorceress you've been warned you about. She makes her cheddar as a professional writer, facilitator, artist, ritualist, and priestess. Devoted to Truth, Justice, and Liberation, she lives in the spirit of foremothers before her: unbossed, unbought, and unbothered. Here are the links for resources Alexis Mentions in the show: Alexis's Website: The Church of St. Felicia. Where you can find her writings, art and other offerings.

Josephine McCarthy and Michael Sheppard of Quareia: A New School of Magic for the 21st Century join us in podcast episode 182. You can find Quareia online at https://www.quareia.com.Josephine McCarthy has appeared twice previously on the podcast to discuss her earlier books on exorcism and magic. She is the author of the Quareia course. Michael Sheppard is the editor and the author of an upcoming book on Egyptian magic.Josephine, Michael, Rudolf, and I have a great conversation about magic, mystery schools, and mostly Quareia, a wonderful new online magic course that is offered for free is undoubtedly a strong contender for best course material available. “Quareia, the new school of magic for the 21st century, is a concept that was born out of conversations between adepts Josephine McCarthy and Frater Acher; two European magicians with solid magical reputations. The course is spread over three sections: Apprentice, Initiate, and Adept. Each section has ten modules, and each module has eight lessons. Each of the three sections is approximately five hundred thousand words: it is the most extensive, in-depth, and intelligent up to date magical course that is currently available worldwide. There are no teachers: the course is designed specifically for lone exploration, experience and study. The success of the Quareia student comes from hard work/personal application, inner contact, and the necessary study and work. It is a very old way of teaching and completely side steps all of the degeneracy that magical schools can become entangled in. Quareia teaches the skills that underpin many different forms of magic. Rather than just teaching a specific magical style, through learning the structural underlying techniques, forms and skills, and their various cultural, magical, and at times religious expressions from different cultures, the Quareia magician will be able to access any form of magic and understand it.”If you’ve heard Josephine in any of her two prior interviews here or read any of her work, you’re already aware of how special she is. The depth and quality of the work that has gone into the creation of Quareia is astounding. If I had to recommend a single resource for learning the art of magic, it would undoubtedly be Quareia. That is a heavy endorsement, but one I feel certain about after having worked with enough schools and systems to have the ability to compare. Quareia provides potential students with an excellent source of knowledge to begin and sustain their magical training. I highly recommend it!If you haven’t already taken a look, the Occult of Personality Membership Section has been redesigned and resurrected as The Chamber of Reflection at https://chamberofreflection.com. There, Josephine, Michael, Rudolf, and I continue the interview to discuss some rather interesting occurrences and lessons learned during the creation of the Quareia course. Join us for that fascinating conversation! On Saturday, July 29th, Ezekiel Bates Lodge and Lvmen Scientiae will host a day of talks on the subject of Alchemy & Transformation! Our presenters include renowned alchemist Brian Cotnoir discussing the famed Emerald Tablet, eastern medicine practitioner and author Craig Williams speaking about the use of plant medicines and bodily health for self-realization, host of the Glitch Bottle podcast Alexander Eth talking about the magical grimoire tradition as an avenue for self-transformation, and yours truly presenting material from David Chaim Smith's upcoming book Deep Principles of Kabbalistic Alchemy. This is a singularly amazing opportunity to hear about many aspects of alchemy and magic in a single day! There will not be another event like this anytime soon, so I encourage you to attend.
