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.
It is our great pleasure to announce that Key64 will be the official American distributor of the remaining Ten Towers. We look forward to further work with the Foolish People collective.
64!

Myth creation is a funny thing, Its very different from the construction of normal stories or narratives.
Myths must live on when you look away, they must breathe and live and fight for existence. In some ways they must already exist and wait for the right eyes to look upon them and see that they are ready and their time has come.
A group of incredible artists have joined myself and FP to look upon Terra Incognita and see that this Myth is now alive.
Terra Incognita is Open Source and each artists working within its landscape are wiping away the dream like clouds to see how they exist within the various realms of this Myth.
Terra Incognita will exist in solid form from the 31st of March 8pm as a colossal meta event that has broken through to this version of reality.
The construction of the next world has begun.
1. An unknown land; an unexplored region: A vast and final Terra Incognita left to Intraterrestrial explorers.
2. A new or unexplored field of knowledge. ‘Terra Incognita’ a colossal Meta-Event whose landscape is inhabited by every unimaginable creature of art, beauty and horror.
DJ’s, Art Space, Films, Live Bands, Weaponised Theatre, Butoh, Belly and Burlesque Dance. The Holy Body Mod chamber.
Hosted by FoolishPeople at the 491 Gallery, 24th of March 2007 8pm to 7am.
Tickets available ONLINE NOW! Buy Here.
The end of time.
The death of culture.
FoolishPeople’s open source myth ‘Terra Incognita’ celebrates 2012 and the end of the Mayan Calender early, by holding a mirror to our anti-future, so we can party like it’s the end of our world and the begining of something much better...
FoolishPeople are hosting an evening at Artisland on the 2nd of February, Ghost Redux. This is the FoolishPeople special that only aired in limbo. So if you need to see the door open into the puzzle and unknown land that is Terra Incognita then come along on the 2/1/06 8pm to 10:30pm Fountayne Road, Seven Sisters. The event is free so you have no excuses.
Artisland two runs from the 26th, 27th, 28th and reboots for another weekend on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of February.
Details at the Artisland Myspace.
Terra Incognita

I'm pleased to say that I'm back at the magnificent Treadwell's on April the 15th for Retroactive Magic in Ritual, a full day workshop. I'll talk more about this type of Magick as the date gets closer, but I will say this the techniques taught and shared during this workshop were developed and refined during the Dark Nights of the Soul Anthology. They offer an insight into how the fourth dimension - Time can be interacted with in a non-linear fashion. I hope you can come along and meet one of your younger or possibly older selves. Tickets bookable from Treadwells. Full details below.
Retroactive Magic in Ritual: A Workshop with John Harrigan
15th April (Sunday) 11am – 6pm
£40 in advance
John Harrigan will take you through an experiential day workshop that exposes participants to the core magical techniques and practices that are integral to FoolishPeople’s work. You will examine retroactive time and learn how to apply it through magical ritual using powerful exercises that combine the transcendental and theurgic strands of ceremonial magic with established theatrical techniques.
Particpants also approach how these can be combined to re-examine notions of time, will and motivation, and show how these are used to shed fixed negative, inherited identities to reveal true will. This workshop is suitable for all levels of experience. Please register for this course as soon as possible as spaces are strictly limited. The cost of the day includes tea, coffee and other light refreshments. John Harrigan is director of the occultist theatre company FoolishPeople, whose cycle of plays was recently performed at the Horse Hospital Theatre in Bloomsbury. For more on FoolishPeople and the work of the company, see www.foolishpeople.org.

Sticky with wet desires and slick evolve; disney hurt and pentagon medicine. I want you when it’s all done, when all the stories are told. When the teeth are out and the flesh in my mouth has scales. Give your sacred role, as we ache for your pain.
Hooked into what I am, I attach you now to this purpose, as your pain becomes the conduit with which the scar heals and the bridge is built across the end into the new. Look out and stroke my face. Look at what you are, know you are the beautiful one with poena, who takes the punishment in place of those who will not face the future.
Close the gates and let your velvet passion rise as we will you to become what you were, and are. Every innocent lost in one moment of simple pain will heal via this night, as we resurrect every possibility for your species.
Let us see your quiet glory.
Yesterday I sat down with David Blank for an interview that will appear in Oracle Occult magazine next year. This allowed me the time to finally place all that has occurred for myself and FoolishPeople during the last year into perspective.
This year has contained so much that it has literally broken time for me. I am no longer able to experience it in the same manner as I once did. Linear is now a dead word.
So tonight is bitter sweet. Through my work with FP I have gained so much. I travel towards 07 with literally a completely new life. Everything has changed. For good and bad. Tonight I say goodbye to everyone I lost. I also celebrate the start of the next chapter.
Happy New Year.
So the Cycles are over and the alchemical process complete. Or is it? The seeds have been planted, will they germinate?
During my annual Yuletide cold, thankfully early this year, I recently found myself contemplating the Meaning of this cyclic journey. In a way this is a hopeless task, for in my view the whole play, or ‘hyper-sigil’ , was essentially meaningless, and in a sense that was the whole point, it was I think a transcendence of Meaning, or at least of ‘meaning’ as normally understood. Paradoxically at the same time it was rich in many meanings, many complex layers of alternative, and sometimes conflicting, meaning, some obviously deliberate, others apparently synchronistically generated. In fact a great part of the whole thing for me was the breakdown of the mono-meaning of conventional reality models, and the encounter with a kaleidoscope of multiple meaning. A rich and paradoxical panorama that better captures the essence of our complex reality. Whose dissonant expression and emotional intensity
accounted for much of the hilarity generated (ably catalysed by some genuinely humorous moments). But it was not mere comedy that we experienced, its dark humour partially cushioned us from the impact of some of its more intense and disturbing moments. It was a true dark night of the soul, a crossing the abyss, and an encounter with a paradoxical reality beyond our everyday world, a liminal space in between. A place that can only be fully reached by a catastrophic fragmentation or death of ego, and its reintegration and rebirth in a new self. The Negrido of the Alchemists that was the first step in turning shit into gold.
In many ways its chief metaphor, the downloading of new software into the hardware of the audience (the desired effect of experiencing this rite on them), reminded me of Dr Timothy Leary’s ‘activation and imprinting’ of higher ‘neural circuits’. And the imagery of the play could be easily read as fitting this model. No doubt other models were also there, but the ‘eight circuit’ model was certainly present in the play for me. What else was the Carnival but the Hedonic Rapture of Leary’s fifth ‘Neurosomatic Circuit’ with its Bacchanalian excesses and ‘seership’, but a place where we are liberated from convention and can glimpse a variety of alternatives across time and space, but can do nothing to really change anything? Probably many things but certainly this. According to Leary it is only when we activate our sixth ‘Neuroelectric Circuit’ that we can really begin to change ourselves and our reality. Here is the realm of simultaneous multiple meaning and alternatives, a chattering chaos of conflicting archetypal forces, until we imprint it with a coherent program that reorders it into something conceivable to us. It is also realm of psychic, non-verbal and non linear communication, where we may commune with other minds and be enlightened by ‘higher beings’ (perhaps parts of our true self), a veritable ‘Spirit Parliament’ in the true sense of the word. Such a shift in perspective is said to expand out consciousness greatly, and we not only become aware of other realities but are able to shift between them and change our own. It is often regarded as equivalent to the opening of our third eye or the birth of a sorcerer. But in order to reach this state we must first enter Chapel Perilous and be torn apart by all our internal conflicts and fears, only to be reborn as a new being. The same process was known to the Alchemists as the Negrido, the Blackening, or the encounter with the Black Sun. I would regard Dr Bleach as essentially the Dweller on the Threshold between these two states the Carnival and the Parliament, enticing the audience to cross it, as well as embodying the very process of the transformation. His Parliament consisting of the Gristly Machine (a container for the Deep Unconscious?), whose drives and powerful images energise the whole process, much like the serpentine Kundalini in Tantra (or Leary’s primal ‘Bio-Survival Circuit’?); the Uber-Marionettes, egoless, driven beings who channel the images and energies from the Machine into powerful, dream like ‘astral’ narratives (Leary’s ‘Emotional Circuit’?); Mr Sam, the rational technician who built and attempts to control the Machine (the egoic and rational ‘Symbolic Circuit’?) ; Aquinas, essentially the Conscience and Karma bearer (perhaps Leary’s domesticating ‘Socio-Sexual Circuit’ responsible for our socialisation);and finally the Queen of Illumination, at first the seer Priestess Kato, and later the Dionysian goddess Kiskil-Lilla, who in different ways could be seen as representing aspects of the ‘Neurosomatic Circuit’. Dr Bleach himself was ostensibly the Ringmaster of the hedonic circus, but really perhaps the demon Asmodai, the Choronzon like figure, who stands at the Threshold of the Abyss, drawing the archetypal energies of these lower states into the abyssal ‘Sixth Circuit’, and forming from these his Parliament, exposed to interrogation and tearing itself apart with its internal conflicts, it attempts to reintegrate into a new reality. An attempt which itself is perhaps a ritual demon-stration to the audience of what is possible, and an attempt to disturb their everyday mindsets and ‘download’ a new program. As Bleach himself claims he brings an Armageddon, perhaps both of an outer civilisation and the inner order of conventional thought and ego structure that underpins it. Though by the end we discover there is no end as we have stepped outside normal time and space. Time has ended. Each declining civilisation faces this possibility it is suggested, and can either change or be fragmented into the chaos and death of the Abyss (though it will formally die whatever path it takes), and Dr Bleach will call his Spirit Parliament in to catalyse this process. Other players emerge of course, not least Jehovah and his angels, who perhaps represent the illusory tunnel realities of the lower circuits, the forces of order , who may have once been ‘Good’ and necessary for the survival and advancement of our ancestors, but who now act as prison wardens, through the agency of the degenerate Christian Demon Joffiert, a tyrannical jail keeper, and her chief agent, the Wound. Forces of ‘Lawful Evil’ who maintain the status quo. In contrast to these is the ‘Chaotic Evil’ of the demon Asmodai and Dr Bleach who seek to break out of this prison into a new more liberated ‘Good’. Between these various hosts stand a range of neutral Elemental Forces, acting under the influence of the tidal forces generated by these great hosts.
Perhaps. Obviously that is just one of many rational cross sections of the complex events of these cycles, and not even a complete one at that for a play of such multi-layered depth and paradox. It, and other interpretations, may serve as a way of exploring and processing the experiences of the cycles, but ultimately it is not the creation of meaning that I suspect the author desired, but rather its disintegration into a chaotic flux in which many new multi-perspectival realities and truths could be experienced and learnt. It would thus be a mistake to diminish this to much by over interpretation.
I had no time to process all this myself immediately after the play as I was already focused on the Dionysian Underground’s own project, mentioned earlier in this blog. Not as ambitious as the Dark Night’s agenda but of equal importance on a planet still trapped in the hellish prison of its ‘everyday reality’. Our mission on the surface was merely the opening rite of a club called the Pleasure Lab, billed as an Erotic Electro club (essentially a cross between a fetish sex club and a 21st century disco). But the reality behind this appearance was as ever much deeper. For a civilisation still dominated by what Leary called the ‘Four Terrestrial Circuits’ of conventional reality, activation of the ‘Hedonic Fifth Circuit’ is of crucial importance, not to mention great fun. A circuit turned on by sex and excitement is never hard work for the Dionysian Underground, and its benefits extend far beyond the liberation of sexuality (crucial in itself), but also involve the Tantric ‘turn on’ of what Leary called the ‘Neurosomatic Circuit’. Bringing the Circus to town! Our own technique for this was a traditional evocation with a (post)modern twist. We first protected our space by generating not a circle but a magically expanding disco ball, reflecting all negative energies from the venue. Then under the guidance of our own Carnivaleque Ringmaster and Hedonic Evoker, and the assistance of daemonic fiddler called Orryelle, we raised up the energies of the Kundalini Serpent, through the ritual union of the twin currents of its energy, manifest as the God and Goddess, before spraying this energy out into the club in an explosive Magical Orgasm, activating the Hedonic Consciousness, whose fertilised Yonic energy then rained down on us all. The residual charge of this energy being stored in wine and bread, given to the audience, and each other, in erotic communion. The God and Goddess invoked for this rite were of course wild Dionysos and his traditional erotic consort Aphrodite, both of whom represent the life force in general, and particularly its sexual manifestation, but also are specifically associated with the Hedonism of ‘Fifth Circuit’ consciousness. There role as bearers of this convention breaking level of consciousness was symbolic emphasised by the invocation of Dionysos into a girl carrying a Yonic Chalice (the Cunt of Bacchus) and of Aphrodite into a Phallus bearing Maenad (the Cock of Venus). It was through the ritual union of these inverted Godforms that the energies were entwined and raised. All with the assistance of the initiating power of a Baphometic Pan, who represented the guardian of the source of the Kundalini in the Root Centre (a bestial god akin to Ganesh), and whose energies split into ‘male’ and ‘female’ forces (through the ritual raising and passing of the yoni and lingam from the altar) and were absorbed into the respective Godforms empowering them. The Hedonic Deities could thus raise and channel the energy into its desired manifestation. The audience then drank from the ‘Cunt of Bacchus’ and ate the ‘Cock of Venus’ in the Erotic Communion. Throughout the ritual two BDSM clowns disrupted any terrestrialising ‘gravity’, that could have been generated by the formal ritual, through their comic mimicry of the rite and foolish antics, thus allowing the energy to achieve ‘escape velocity’ and transcend the conventional domain into Hedonic Rapture. Which to the strains Led Zeppelin’s ‘a Whole Lot of Love’ initiated the orgiastic revels of the Bacchanal. This of course was merely the magical precursor of liberating activity that subsequently occurred in the club, and will hopefully continue in its future manifestations.

If I ever get out of here this will be my first blog entry in over a year, in case I don’t somebody please make sure the following writings find their way into the hands of a contributor to the SPS website so that the truth regarding my absence and the nature of the Spirit Parliament can make it’s way into the public domain. There’s a list of e-mail contacts on the links page on the site, or there was when I last had internet access.
The last time I contributed to this site we were discussing my experience and speculation regarding the disappearance and fate of fellow investigator and contributor, Rupert Banwen. Though I have not located him, or learnt of how or to what degree the Spirit Parliament were responsible for his disappearance my investigations have led me to make discoveries and experience phenomena that shake the foundations of my perceptions of reality.
I have been to Hell and back. This isn’t a trite metaphor; this is very much literally what has happened. I’ve also met the Spirit Parliament and witnessed the Dark Nights of the Soul spirit carnival.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone involved in the success of Cycle V, and everyone who came to support our art.
Special thanks to the whole cast: Tereza, Charlie, Mark, Alexis, Vesna and Hayley for their commitment and talent, the fantastic Lili Spain, who provided us with an amazing installation set, Alex for doing such a great job as our stage manager, the 491 gallery for sponsoring us, and everyone at the Horse Hospital for all their support and investment in our art.
I would also like to thank Vittoria, Jasmine, Annabel and Warren for their help and support on the night and in our get-in and outs!
And of course the incredible Mr. Harrigan, who wrote, directed, and performed in such a powerful piece of magickal art. Without whom none of us would ever have met or experienced such intensely beautiful moments in life.
I cannot thank you enough.
Am very much looking forward to the penultimate cycle on Saturday. This series has had a significant influence on my own thinking; regarding both magic and art and I eagerly await its complete manifestation. I also hope to introduce a Persian Artist-Sorceress friend of mine to the phenomenon this Saturday too, she comes to the series late but I know she will appreciate it.
Anyway my researches into pain and pleasure continue, along with the related energetic dynamics of the cosmos, pretentious fucker that I am for thinking I can grasp all the mysteries of reality :) But at least I may generate a few interesting models. I've always been big on the Ancient Greek concept of Eudaemonia (Good Daemonism, the idea that when we tune into our Good Daemon, or Genius, or True Self, we experience Pleasure) and the Ethical Hedonism that arises from this. The basic idea being that everything in the cosmos has a role and a place in the complex organic 'mechanism' (as well as it being a local manifestation of that 'mechanism' in some Hermetic versions of the theory). Thus all the components resonate harmoniously together when in proper relation to each other and this is the basis of the Pleasure. Our true role in the cosmos being Star Daemons we thus achieve pleasure in realising this as much as we do in being in right relation to the World and the beings in it. Pain is generally seen as a sign of wrong relation (and in modern versions is often associated with the 'false pleasures' of compensation, found in such things as consumerism and drug and sex addiction. As opposed to the true enjoyment of eroticism and entheogens and other goodies that make up our cosmos).
This of course has led some to a very conservative form of esotericism in which the Good consists of everyone knowing 'their place'. But this view misses a very important aspect of the theory. The cosmos is not fixed but dynamic and evolving (and de-evolving) in multiple directions. For this to be realised we need to discard the Platonistic notions of an underlying and eternal 'natural order', or even a state of 'ideal perfection' to which we 'should' be moving. And perhaps even Aristotle's milder notion of an evolving 'ideal form', that underlies the modern concept of species and fitness. And instead embrace the ideas of Heraclitus that at root the cosmos is a constantly shifting, dynamic whole, that constantly adapts itself in relation to the other within itself. A Western Tao whose components perform the dance of an emergent dualism of Yin and Yang on multiple levels and dimensions. A reality paradoxical enough to be obviously true! A Tao that for Heraclitus was ultimately rooted in the Energy that emerged from Night and Nothingness. We might thus extend this into the views of Chaos Magic where Unmanifest Kaos underlies all manifestation. Thus while the cosmos may settle on certain patterns (and species) and Eudaemonic pleasure mechanisms emerge to conserve these forms, it does not follow that these form are necessarily the Best (however we judge that). An evolution to something better may occur through drift or intention but such is a slow process. When a more drastic change is required, in times of crisis like today, then the shift of form may have to be more aggressive, a transgression of past forms and their boundaries that 'pushes the envelope' into new patterns. Such change in terms of existant eudaemonia may be experienced as pain, however if this change leads to a new harmonic structure then the 'future eudaemonia' may extend back retroactively and offset this pain with its own pleasures. Moreover according to Heraclitus the processes which underlie his version of Taoism are as much about tension and conflict (palintonos) as they are about harmonisation, for it is the tension to breaking point in the bow that shots the arrow and brings resolution. Thus conflict is energising and within a Eudaemonic context perhaps sometimes associated with pain as much as pleasure. For as Nietzsche said that which does not destroy me makes me stronger and the greatest pleasure is found in the overcoming of a resistance (which will presumably be initially painful). Thus pain and pleasure may have their own complex Tao in the 'greater scheme of things'. At least its a comforting thought. So I for one will take my eudaemonic pleasures in that I wish to conserve and face my pleasurable and not so pleasurable pains in that I wish to revolutionize....
Words are irrelevant, they really fail to sum up any useful representation of the exact location of where I currently exist.
If you have paid attention this all began over a year ago with Cycle I the Wyrm Shroud.
Even now I am still unsure if I will be able to complete this and finish the final Cycle, before the bridge collapses that connects me to solid ground.
Dont expect to see or hear from FoolishPeople for a long time once this ritual is complete.
Tickets are very, very limited. So if you want to come along please don't leave it until the last minute. You can get your tickets from the Horse Hospital. Details below.

OCCULT TALK Original Soundtrack Recording, Vol. 1
Running Time :: 35:09
Having survived slicing open my foot and denting my head during escalator and cupboard attacks yesterday, (I am always strangely aloof from myself the day of the new moon!), we started rehearsals at the 491 Gallery today for Cycle V, in perfect synchronicity with the dark moon period of rest and beginnings, which brought lots of positive energy.
We welcomed some very talented new cast members: Vesna, Hayley, and Alexis into FP today, and we are very much looking forward to working with them over the next four weeks! During one exercise we had to feel the energies of the room and let ourselves be drawn to a specific place. I was immediately magnetised to a fantastic mixed media piece by Steve Gent, which upon closer inspection later on I realised was entitled:
'Home'.
Which in a beautiful synchronicity is the title of the next Cycle, though I was not surprised in the slightest!
The magick of this year-long ritual continues...
Image by: www.stanford.edu
Tonight at 11:45pm we will simulcast a podcast recording of the climaX of FoolishPeople's performance of Weaponised Art 2.0 at Guerrilla Zoo.
We will also be hosting a FP Magick table at Guerrilla Zoo with all our good friends.
Stella Damiana will be signing copies of her new book Sex Spells and giving tarot readings with David Blank the editor of Oracle Occult Magazine and of course FP's very own Frater Kaotec of the Dionysian Underground will also be at our table as he mentioned in his post below. Plus various members of FoolishPeople such as Tereza Kamenika, Alexa Looker (Digital Artist for Weaponised Art 2.0), and Lucy Allin who will be performing alongside myself (I'm the one wearing the red baby grow. Flash-Back) in Weaponised Art 2.0.
Hope to see you tonight.
Last night was fucking tough, existed in hybrid dreams with a virus. My mind and body have finally relented. I have come down with a flu virus that's been lurking within and threatening to become active at any moment.
Rehearsed yesterday in a different type of delirium. Currently attempting to trace the meaning within the Weaponised Art 2.0 action.
So many of my work currents are converging. I stupidly made the comment to a friend that I felt that each Cycle of Dark Nights should be hard and painful as all of the most crucial lessons we learn in life are born of pain.
Yes lets wave the big red rag in magicks face.
So within twenty fours of the comment almost all of the pre-production work we have completed turns around and becomes retro-causal.
Were holding auditions for Cycle V on Tuesday at Artsadmin. Expect new blood for Cycle V.
The warning below seems to be popping up in a few places, the DIGS list and also Easy Bake Coven. The numbers seem significant to me and I understand the reasoning, but is anyone asking why?
Because it just doesnt ring true for me. To
