A Load of Old Blather: Unreal Reports from Ireland and Beyond.

My friend Damien DeBarra has his first book out now, and it comes very highly recommended from FP. Damien is an incredibly smart writer, who never takes himself or the subject he's writing about too seriously. His new book covers everything from UFOs to Ancient Irish Astronauts. All the insane dreams of our mad dying species

Eleven years, three convictions, two deportations, ten thousand pints, six barring orders and a legion of leather-clad groupies later, Dave Walsh, Barry Kavanagh and Damien DeBarra (the cheap tarts that brought you Blather.net) bring you their latest labour of love: A Load of Blather: Unreal Reports from Ireland and Beyond.

Love held in Death

Rest now; my beautiful creature. Breathe free of the heavy pain.

Feeling the vacant depth of grief around me. As you wrap your world around mine and dissolve into swollen light. Drifting now; goodbye. See the tear in the sky.

Dedicated to Thea, For the love she poured into the world and the pain she took away.

Thank you. Please forgive me for my absence.

The G-Spot #30: The Art of Memetics

Joseph Matheny conducts a GPod Radio installment interviewing artist Ray Carney and co-authors Edward Wilson and Wes Unruh about their upcoming book The Art of Memetics. Why are the authors glad that the book is being downloaded for free? Is piracy a viable marketing strategy? What, exactly, is memetics? All these questions and more are answered in this installment of The G-Spot.

GreyLodge - The Best of William S. Burroughs

GreyLodge continues to find exactly what I'm looking for just at the very moment I need it. After watching Naked Lunch for the first time in many years, GreyLodge posted the torrents for the best of Burroughs. A four CD collection of his greatest works.

Thank you GreyLodge.

 

'The Art of Memetics' by Wes Unruh & Edward Wilson

'The Art of Memetics' by Wes Unruh & Edward Wilson is highly recommended by FoolishPeople.
With a forward by Taylor Ellwood and introduction by Joseph Matheny.

"We are all part of social networks that are communicating, interacting. And this allows us to start applying cybernetic principles to psychological and social issues. Memes are not about “communication” or transfer of data. Memes are programming instructions. They are tied to actions. Memes are just the packet on this network. And the packets are usually programs which get installed on the system that accepts them. That system is you and I. Because we are components in a very large system and made up of smaller systems and components the percentage of control we are generally capable of at least at first is really small because we are constrained both by our constituting components and the system of interactions within which we are embedded."

You can read an introduction on Key64, which also features Joseph Matheny's introduction to 'The Art of Memetics'

“The Art of Memetics is a much needed text on memes and how ideas grow might and power and spread as if by magic. There is more actual magic in memes than I ever saw before reading this master text by Edward Wilson and Wes Unruh. If you want your ideas to spread, you’ll read this book twice.”
Jay Conrad Levinson
Father of Guerrilla Marketing

"’The Art of Memetics’ flows through every version of who you were, are and will be, with a strength and purity of signal that is eager to assist you in becoming all you were born to be.”

Artistic Director:

“Not since Philip K. Dick and Robert Anton Wilson have I read a book that fundamentally altered the way I see and process media. The Art of Memetics extends the work of Marshall McLuhan into a media ecology of sympathetic coexistence, a model worthy of exploration if a sustainable equilibrium is valued.”

The Pendulum Swings

"it’s like the pendulum’s swing, going down will take you an equal degree upwards mayhaps the energy we manage to transmute with our magickal weapon of the lamp in the darkest parts of the underworld also strengthen the corresponding upright sephira."

Ikipr on the upside to the downside. A great deal of what Zach communicates in this discussion on qlippothic work resonates true with what we're all currently experiencing within the Macrocosm and Microcosm.

The end of this year marks the very strong upright swing of the Pendulum.

Future Perfect Past Tense

When I look back over the stories that make up my life, sometimes it's like the chicken and the egg. You know, which came first? "Time is nonlinear." It's only three words and so easy to agree with intellectually, but the experience of it? Well, let me give you an example.

When I was just starting to grow up too fast, my best friend introduced me to my first love. For the better part of the bus ride home my friend told me about this girl. She was amazing and beautiful and he had no idea if she liked him at all, but he had to find out. I still remember his exact words, "You have experience with the ladies; you have to talk to her for me." To this day I have no idea how he came to such an astoundingly wrong conclusion, but because he was my best friend and because neither of us had read Cyrano de Bergerac, I agreed to do as he asked.

That afternoon was the kind of hot that only comes on the back of an Indian Summer. The sky was ready to rain green, and she was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. Blonde hair and blue eyes; a cliché, I know, but she wore it well. When she spoke, it was all over for me. Her voice was deep, rough at the edges, utterly feminine, and made me quiver. After a while I pulled her aside to talk privately.

Swallowing my feelings for her, I readied myself to speak on my friend's behalf, but when I opened my mouth something peculiar happened. My vision blurred, like the air was humming and suddenly I was watching from the backseat. The conversation was short and sweet, and I was far more charming than any twelve year old boy has a right to be. She confessed that it was me she really liked, and asked her friend to deliver a close-but-no-cigar message to my friend. When he read it he didn't even look at me, he just got up and left.  I had gone to win her heart for him and kept it for myself instead. It was a betrayal and we both knew it. My sense of loyalty was outraged, but I was so disoriented all I could do was stand there with a dumb look on my face. One of the older kids came over, put a beer in my hand and said, "Don't worry, he'll get over it." I had never had a beer before, but I was positive it was exactly what I needed.

Now, I love a good cliché, so I don't mind telling you that I'll never forget that afternoon, but I will throw in a twist. I'll always remember that day because it's the first time I felt the hand of a Future Self moving me in a direction I had neither the social graces nor the experience to move in myself.

Running into a Future Self like that is both profound and unnervingly weird. What makes it weirder still for me is that in the narrative I've pieced together and called My Life, this event happens before I start working with time magick. The more you work with time, just how nonlinear it is really sinks in, and makes it very hard to say for sure who or what you really are. There's this strange feeling to it, like everything is totally predestined, but at the same time, feeling like you can do or change nearly anything. This contradiction and all the confusion it brings is enough to make anyone ask, "Why bother with time magick?" That's why I wanted to share this story in particular.

Eventually I patched things up with my friend, and though we still talk to this day, if I had never spoken with him again, that would have been okay. I had moments with that girl I wouldn't trade for anything. That slice of life we shared was so important to me that I reached out to myself across time to make sure it happened. This kind of thing can't happen in the 3d world with its linear concept of time, but because I've experienced it, I know there is more. Who doesn't want more, for themselves, their children, this planet? Yes, there is confusion; yes, things can go wrong, but because I want more; for and of the things I love, I push forward into this uncharted and un-chartable territory. No one said crashing the gates of Eden would be easy, but I promise you, it's worth it.

Oracle Interview with John Harrigan

Over a year ago, John Harrigan met his friend David Blank in the basement of Treadwell's Book Shop, having just completed his thirteen-month residency at the Horse Hospital, where he wrote, directed and performed in the 'Dark Nights of the Soul' Anthology of rituals; a powerful and emotional journey for everyone involved.

The interview, which explores John's approach to magick, weaponized art and society, and also discusses his views on archetypes, retroactive magick and time was published in David's Oracle Occult magazine in Issue 8: Blue Moon 2007.

David has kindly given us a PDF of the interview in its entirety, so is now available for download on FP.com.

Thank you to David once again for transcribing this incredible interview. No-one else could have produced such a close piece which captures the true essence of the Dark Nights Anthology.

You can keep updated on the latest issues of The Oracle Occult Magazine at: www.oracleoccult.com and www.myspace.com/oracleoccultmagazine

"Time becomes this big sheet, this landscape, that you exist within that is not linear and as you go further into that landscape it gets more complicated to explain what you are...Time to me is absolutely non-linear and things are happening now that are effecting my past that don't go through you as a creation, as a person, it's literally happening then and it effects you straight away in the future...We did a lot of work in Dark Nights, in cycle three, with a future-selves working, which is where we take people through a magickal ritual to experience, to meet, themselves in the future and this future self would talk to that person and give set information."

The Ten Towers have been constructed.

The Ten Towers was a ritual designed to pay respect and thanks to the community that has been generous in its support of my art.

Originally I had planned to complete the Ten Towers by August last year but I was unable to do this due to the various shifts in time.

Tonight Tower Ten was completed. All of the Towers have now been constructed and delivered to the men and women who were originally invited to take part in this audio ritual. You can listen to the first three recorded Towers below the projects section on this page.

The final seven Towers remain to be recorded and it's possible you may never get to hear them all for various reasons. The ten gates (Private facts provided by participants) which were used to help me create the Towers are personal and it may be the case that participants wish to keep their Tower to themselves.

They are entirely welcome to do this is if they wish and I would completely understand their reasons.

When further Towers are recorded they will be uploaded.

Hatch 23: the occult series of 'Lost'

We found this article through Technoccult about retroactive magic threaded through 'Lost'. As you probably know retroactive magic is a an instrument we use widely in our rituals, so its very interesting to see how others perceive and use this:

In “Confirmed Dead” we learn that John would have died when Ben shot him in the back if he’d still had his kidney. This sounds a lot like “retroactive magic.” Retroactive magic is either the most cutting edge arena of modern magical practice or the most self-delusional (or both). According to Edward Wilson: “Retroactivity is the idea that actions taken in the present or the future can affect the past and therefore the affect can proceed the cause… It creates of causation an Ouroborus or Mobius strip.” In other words an occulist can alter the past as well as the future.

Telemagica

FP recommends Telemagica , it looks to be a truly incredible event.

We were invited to perform but due to everything that we're currently working on, were unable to attend. We hope to perform at '09 Telemagica but if you can make it this year then tickets are now available from telemagica.com.

We are excited to announce that we just completed two audio trailers for the Fallen Nation: Babylon Burning project: one 30 second and one 60 second. Originally we intended to produce a video ourselves before running it all over the net, but we thought it might be more exciting (and surprising) to offer it up to the public for you budding videographers, film students, drug fiends, cut-up artists, etc. If you win you will be included in an ongoing viral campaign, you will receive a signed 1st and 2nd edition of the book, and we will line up an interview with you about your work to run in the G-Spot. Your work can be animation, video, or any mixture of the two, and may be produced using whatever software / hardware you choose.

Link: alterati » Blog Archive » The Dark Side of a Culture..

Start at the beginning. Lately, my thoughts have been on art-forms that confront us with our cultural “dark side.” I’m not talking Star Wars, but instead the dark side of the moon, which is never revealed to us unless if we ourselves go there. As Neitzsche rightfully recognized, this is not a safe exploration, you can’t do it entirely from behind a windshield, the “abysses we look into also look back into us.”

Desecration - Way In...

Just found a way in, after four days off the grid.

Preparations for Desecration are going well, sometimes too well. We've had at least one confirmed possession. Along with various other positive and strong biological reactions to the GLORY that is the Galleries of Justice.

I feel like I'm home, I could sleep in BenBen/ThePit.

FP, doing this one for the Demon.

Now that I have access again you should keep your wet little holes focused here (FoolishPeople.com) for updates on the journey towards the beginning of the manifestation of Desecration on the 6th of September.

Desecration will exist in the material realm for no longer than four days.

The gap closes on the 2nd of September after the last working. So its advisable to book early.

A clue, if you need to exist within the eye of the storm, then book your tickets for Friday the 7th of September. As we have something special in mind for this date.

Desecration is a Theatre of Ophidia and FoolishPeople production, it would be amiss of me to not mention that Desecration would not have ever even happened without the faith and insight of Martin Jeffrey the master mind behind Theatre of Ophidia and Fright Nights.

You still have time (retroactive time) to experience the various ripples of FoolishPeople's Dead Language at Esozone via the Internetz.

Phase II have a review of Dead Language for you.

Reflections again tomorrow around this time.

Bill Whitcomb on Dead Language at Esozone

"Obvious survivors of the harshest of Nova conditions, Foolish People's performance of Dead Language at EsoZone in Portland shimmered with life force and various less identifiable radiations.  Could this be the first theatre requiring tinfoil hats?

Whatever the reason, John Harrigan and the other members of his troupe move on stage in a way you can feel all the way in the balcony.  Their combination of esoteric symbolism and ritual elements provides an interactive, gnostic experience that will leave you feeling...different.  Come see a challenging vision that will leave you scrambling to establish digital rights management for your soul. 

I cannot recommend attending the next Foolish People performance strongly enough.  After all, someone should probably be keeping an eye on them."

HERE by Jim Hollands ( UK, 70 mins )

Screening August 9th 2007
Doors 7.30pm
Screening 8.45pm

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the murder of UK playwright Joe Orton by a hammer to the head from his lover Kenneth Halliwell, The Horse Hospital is proud to present a world preview screening of Jim Hollands' latest video work, 'Here'.

'Here' is a 70 minute remix of a rarely seen existing work written by Joe Orton, called The Erpingham Camp. It was originally screened on TV in 1966. It has been experimentally remixed in sound, image and words, with subtitles, and is partly in anaglyphic ( red/cyan ) 3D. Large parts of the work operate under flicker frequencies of 8-13hz, and as such are viewable by epileptics or those prone to seizure at their own risk, and is best watched whilst under an influence. Hammers are optional.

Jim Hollands is an established filmmaker, sound artist and programmer who was the resident curator of a major avant-garde centre in London, The Horse Hospital, for the five years. Following this screening the work is part of a residency at http://nod.roxy.cz/ Prague, from 24-29th August.

Oracle - Eight

The Oracle is an independent and contemporary occult magazine published in London, UK. It is non-sectarian and not connected with any particular occult organisation or path. It is a forum for the serious discussion and exploration of the occult in theory and practice.

The latest issue of The Oracle Occult Magazine, Oracle No. 8, will be available from the 28th July 2007 through leading occult bookshops (UK only) or online by e-mailing sales@oracleoccult.com

Oracle 8:

With a nod to the egregore - the Ouroboros who adorns the front cover in resplendent hue of earth & fire - we find ourselves entering through “the enamel blue brick Ishtar gate” as Peter Grey, author of ‘The Red Goddess’, introduces us to ‘BABALON – The Great Whore’.
From Babylon we journey to Hyperborea where David Beth (Sovereign Grand Master of the O.T.O.A/L.C.N. of Michael Bertiaux and Patriarch of the Ecclesia Gnostica Aeterna) communicates to us certain Mysteries concerning the Fraternitas Borealis, a mysterious magical and philosophical community whose work has never before been published.

Turning the page, taking a different path, we find ourselves face to face with Loki, as Mordant Carnival introduces us to Him, placing Him in historical and cultural context - with a uniquely accessible and at times playful prose style - before getting down to business with the hows and whys of dealing with Loki. Mordant’s approach to working with Loki was described to me by Stephen Grasso as Northern Voudou.

Returning to the metropolis we share a drink with David Blank, editor of the Oracle, as he discusses his personal practice as a sorcerer – The Feral Sorcerer weaving the spider’s web, spinning spells, quickening the witchblood.

Our journey ends as we find ourselves in the basement of Treadwell’s Books in Covent Garden, London, where David Blank interviews John Harrigan, Artistic Director of FoolishPeople. This interview, which took place over a three and a half hour period, explores John Harrigan’s approach to magick, art and society within context of ‘Dark Nights of The Soul’ - A thirteen-month magickal ritual in the form of a six-part anthology of plays.

The interview is a unique and in depth exposition of the Artistic Director of FoolishPeople – one of the most cutting edge and original ritual theatre companies currently extant. Their work continually pushes the boundaries of art and ritual theatre.

The Oracle invites you to enter through the gates and experience this journey for yourselves.

Britain is still called a “temperate” country. It’s July 3 and the act of stepping into my back garden had me literally hydroplaning off my feet. It’s time to get more involved with the environment. My plan is to find every old fridge I can and crack open their CFC tanks with a pickaxe. And then I’m going to hack EarthDay.com and cover their front page with a big picture of giant Nazi oil-burning sex robots throwing lumps of coal at the little baby Jesus while fucking Al Gore in the gall bladder.

Ikipr

I'm very pleased to announce that I'm collaborating with the immensely talented Ikipr on Dead Language, his music has fed my own current for sometime now.

Ikipr is creating a soundtrack of Hyper-Dimensional music that is both sublime and powerful. His work on Dead Language beautifully complements the work FP have been manifesting within rehearsals, it adds another solid layer of Magick from a true master. 'Ikipr has been working in Music and Magick concurrently for the past nine years. His work attempts to create magickal states in harmonics. In this way he works through pre-established systems in a cross-discplinary fashion, however, to record this VIA waveforms requires a scholary chaos magick approach.

He runs the netlabel at aleph9 and attempts to work in the background of information oriented communities to fuel and aid the great work in any role which he may be able to fit.'

Extra-Touristrial : Pink Fish Ensemble : Area 10 Sat 23rd

Following the Dionysian Underground's successful opening ritual at Area 10 on Thursday (performed with less than a days notice :)) the parallel art group the Pink Fish Ensemble will be performing an experimental art piece on Saturday evening entitled Extra-Touristrial. Two aliens visit Peckham a herald of the Grand Invisibles, and her translator from Sirius, will attempt to communicate with the people of Earth, in an historic moment, and perhaps if the stars are right generate the first interplanetary psychic sculpture with audience participation.

New Aeon

Its been a while since my last series of posts, tangental cross flows to John’s constant current, which we had hoped would create whirlpools of  magical transduction, that would inspire us and you and deflect the habituated focus.

Since then I’ve been on a magical sabbatical following the traumatic event that effected me during Terra Incognita. This explosive invocatory state blew away much of the dross from my life, while at the same time severed some of my most important magical connections, some of which are now returning, while others may be lost forever. It was in short a great  transformative period.

As I return I seek new patterns and new associations, as well as transformed old associations, both in the abstract and the concrete. What this means shall remain a mystery for the time being, even to myself in part. But one very concrete new form that is emerging can now be announced.

 

The Aeon Film Collective was envisioned on June 3^rd and will be officially founded on June 23^rd. Its first project will be the London Occult Film Festival, a screening of new and old occult and magical surrealist films in a secret venue in London. This is intended to raise awareness of, and perhaps cash for, the creative work of Aeon Films. The basic function of which will be to produce new and innovative magical movies.

The project is still in its earliest stages and more details will be announced later, but in the meantime we call on all film makers to contact us via the Dionysian Underground  email (dionysian_underground@yahoo.co.uk) with proposals of films to be shown. We are looking for original short films in the main, but lost classics will also be very welcome.   

From the Ashes of Key23

Key23 is Dead! Long Live Key64!

After a long hiatus, Key23 has morphed in Key64, a leaner, meaner version of the occultural ezine that took the world by storm a few years ago. Key23 quite literally redefined the world of Internet occultism, breaking it out of the doldrums of Chaos Magic inanity too numerous to mention. Key64 will continue in that tradition by continuing to push the envelope not only magickally but politically, culturally and socially.
