Twitter is possibly the most mundane real time online social tool. Which replicates the Phatic function.

I'm using Twitter for an experiment in narrative magick, real time ritual and spell casting via the internet.

Its seems like it's crying out to be used as a neo-wishing well.

You can watch how this unfolds via johnharrigan.net under the Zero-Narrative heading.

'Desecration'

FoolishPeople in association with Theatre of Ophidia and Fright Nights are pleased to announce a new production ‘DESECRATION’ at Nottingham’s infamous Galleries of Justice, this coming September.

‘Desecration’ will redefine immersive theatre, as ritual performance and magickal art combine to reveal the secret truth of an ancient site of suffering and punishment. For centuries on the site of the Galleries of Justice, people were imprisoned, stripped of their civil liberties in the courtroom and brutally executed on the gallows on the front steps.

The production will last up to three and a half hours where the audience are free to roam the courtrooms, prisons and caves, following the narrative of each of the Gods, spirits and humans who inhabit the living myth of ‘Desecration.’

Written and directed by John Harrigan, performed by FoolishPeople and produced by Theatre of Ophidia and Fright Nights.

Fright Nights was the first company of its type to offer overnight ghost hunting experiences to the public and retains its reputation for haunted and unusual locations. Since 1999 there have been over 1000 overnight investigations, 400 field trips and 400 haunted weekends, as well as appearing and consulting on over 200 documentaries and television programs last year alone.

Theatre of Ophidia combines many currents into a mixture of theatre, art and occultism with which to be subliminally digested by the audience.

The combined expertise of Theatre of Ophidia, Fright Nights and FoolishPeople will enable the creation of unique magickal and immersive experiences unavailable anywhere else.

More on Bertiaux’s Voudon Gnostic System - David Beth

I'm really looking forward to David Beth's next talk at Treadwells next week, details are below. This event comes highly recommended.

This talk follows January’s sold-out overview of Michael Bertiaux’s Voudon Gnosis” or “Esoteric Voudon”, a syncretic gnostic sorcery grounded in Haitian voudon and shaped by various occult systems from Crowley to witchcraft to esoteric continental freemasonry. Tonight’s topics include: Nganga, master of the fetish; sexual magic, lycantrophy, esoteric time travel, occult art – “The Space Master” –a gateway. The speaker is almost uniquely qualified to unravel the threads of the system and to speak experientially from an insider’s perspective. David Beth (Tau Melchizedek) is the Sovereign Grand Master of the OTOA and LCN, a Gnostic patriarch and instrumental in shaping the current development of the system. A close friend and confidant of Bertiaux, David is also a university-educated historian born and raised in Africa, and has lived in Europe and the USA.

Note: This talk is not going to repeat anything from the lecture of January 2007, so it will be all new content and anybody who enjoyed the last event will surely have a good time at this one.

The Irrepresibles at Lazy Gramophone

Lucy and I were lucky enough to be invited to last nights Lazy Gramophone at the Luminaire.

Lazy Gramophone are an art collective that have the most wonderful and unique attitude that host events at various venue's throughout London, while also publishing books and other other associated media.

The Irrepresibles were playing last night, watching them perform was truly a divine experience. As performers and musician's they dont sit or fit into any catergory easily. I wont spoil them by attempting to describe them, because this would ruin your introduction to them visually, for they are indeed a new species.

One our ears and minds very much need.
