“Cosmic Blast” Stimulating Mystical Experience Washes over Earth?

A most curious report is circulating in the Kremlin today, submitted by Colonel Boris Sokolov of the Ministry of Defense, one of Russia’s top UFO investigators, and wherein he states that ‘embedded’ within last months largest ever recorded Cosmic Blast was a ‘40 megahertz radio wave coded signal’ that could ‘stimulate’ the electromagnetic activity of religiously devout people by ‘substantially altering’ their brain frequencies.
The areas of the brain of devout followers of religion most likely to have ‘received’ this ‘cosmic message’, this report continues, had previously been identified by French Researchers from the University of Montreal, and who stated about their research:

“The main goal of the study was to identify the neural correlates of a mystical experience. Rather than there being one spot that relates to mystical experiences, we’ve found a number of brain regions are involved. This does not diminish the meaning and value of such an experience and neither does it confirm or disconfirm the existence of God,” explained lead researcher of the study Dr Mario Beauregard. ”

Colonel Sokolov continues in his report by stating that this ‘cosmic message’ would be first ‘understood’ by the most devoted followers of religion as their brain frequencies are more attuned to the 40 megahertz radio wave and that these people would be, most likely, found in cults.

Now, and most curiously, following this ‘cosmic message’ blasted at our Earth, both the United States and European Union have launched near simultaneous crackdowns against their respective religious cults…

If true the above has to be one of the most interesting pieces of news I have heard in a long time, for many different reasons. JH

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.

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.

Desecration at Galleries of Justice - September 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th 2007

Inscription found within Father Lewis Wells Bible, Page 32
A Haunted Bloodline; the Wells Family: A Personal Portrait (Hardcover)

"One step, two steps, humble your history, quickly child, lest we idle and reveal the rawness of our hearts within the chapel of locks.

Shuffle softly into the Sinewy Tunnel. Please child, eyes averted from the Tetravalent, one socket sucked raw, red and dry.
Only one eye left.
 
Rather half the truth, than all a lie.

Step deep into his tide of darkness.
Feel the heat of the Suns first rays, here in Eden's deepest bowels. Kneel now dearest child, before his dusty throne.

All the mistrials of your life. All the misery of past blood.
Every angle of slotted worth. See, perhaps this is why we exist?

Look now child, as your truth is unveiled in this act of Desecration."

Deep down below the earth is the Deluge, birthplace of Desecration. Immeasurable darkness and ancient power: a primordial energy that has grown within the earth, since Eden’s first light.

The Desecration has fed upon the Wells family for over ten generations.

Now, Edward Wells, a fallen priest, part time escape artist, Magus and the blackest sheep that the Wells lineage has ever witnessed must enter into the realm of Deluge if he is to remove his family’s curse before Desecration is released upon humanity in a wave of decimation and suffering.

So who better to unlock the puzzle of Deluge than a down and out escape artist and natural born Sorcerer who combines all the mistakes of his family’s bloodline in one frail body?

Edward must traverse and survive every liars veil, Tetratravelent Goddess, Evil Turnkey, and King Demon of Deluge’s hyper dimensions to confront and learn why Desecration, a thing born in the first light of Eden wants to wipe his family from all of creation.

Dear Sir or Madam,

You are cordially invited to align with either Edward Wells or the entity Desecration in a magical pact, as you unlock the truth of the Demons that reside within your own family line.

Join Edward on his journey into the Deluge this coming September as you enter into the immense meta-narrative of Desecration within Nottingham’s infamous Galleries of Justice.

You are free to explore the entire manifestation, throughout the ritual in your own time, as you fall, forever deeper and closer to ultimate truth.

Theatre of Ophidia and FoolishPeople will redefine immersive magickal theatre as your will and intent are revealed via the various magical experiences offered within the realm of Deluge.

They deftly expose the hypocrisy of the "moral majority" by exposing the Demons within all our hearts and the awful outcomes that occur from never facing up to, or refusing to sit down and discuss who we really are with humanities closest living myths.

Tickets can be purchased online or by calling 0114 251 3232. "Desecration" runs from the 6th to the 9th September 2007

'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.

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.

Terra Incognita – a short reflection

On March 31st I entered the 'rabid hole' at Gallery 491 in East London.

Sucked into a strange world filled with strange creatures, strange noises and strange objects, I felt utterly at home. I found myself in a manifested vision of Gnosis, so intimately known to me.

In this wonderous place, one was the dreamer and the dream, the observer and the observed. In those attending individuals capable to receive what was evoked, a tiny seed of gnostic realization has been planted – a seed well worth nurturing as it may grow and take you onto a journey leading to absolute liberation and freedom.

John Harrigan and his FoolishPeople troupe skilfully engaged all senses in a way that any resistance to becoming fully engaged was futile and one had to surrender to a magical myth unfolding – a myth of spiritual awakening and transformation. We witnessed and experienced the pains of mystical death and resurrection and the strange beauties and wonders of spiritual and esoteric realization.

On a personal level and interpretation this was the true magic of this night – the urging for all of us to begin to explore our inner Terra Incognita, the unknown world, the hidden universe that lays dormant as we are concerned only with the Eidolon and are caught in the archontic spider-web of the profane world.

Let us re-claim our lost spiritual heritage and establish again the ‘kingdom’ within and through this manifest a new world also in the outer. It is possible, do it now!

Terra Incognita - Mandrake Speaks Review

According to our sources the following review of Terra Incognita by author Nathaniel J Harris appears in the next Mandrake Speaks.

REVIEW- Terra Incognita – The Foolish People – 491 Gallery, East London, 31st March/April 1st.

This March ‘Skratte’ were lucky enough to be invited by the Masque Noir ritual performers to participate in the Foolish People’s event ‘Terra Incognita’ in our role as practicing witches. Having heard all kinds of intriguing things about the Foolish People we were keen to accept this invitation and so packed our bags and left our secret location in the deserts of Avon and headed up to East London’s 491 gallery, where the party and play were taking place.

Since our own role was to add power to the closing ritual, rather than as actors or musicians in this instance, our experience of the event was somewhat in between performer and observer. Thus we can tell you that the Foolish People were a great pleasure to work alongside and deserve heartfelt congratulations and recognition for the incredible amount of work that went into making this event happen. As audience, we offer these same congratulations in that we did indeed come away feeling like our heads had been turned inside out by about 1500 mics of L.S.D., despite the fact that we made the decision to remain completely sane and sober in order to know what we had really seen and what we had not. (We are glad that we did this, even though we are nevertheless still unsure as to exactly what we experienced at some points).

All the cast were brilliant. Every one of them possessed their own unique star quality, which under the (sometimes brutal) direction of Mr. Harrigan were truly allowed to shine forth. There were also some fine musicians to entertain us, some incidental and others a part of the story, who would be well worth the travel to experience all on their own.

So as not to ruin things for anyone should there ever be a chance to see a repeat performance, we will not tell you too much about the plot of the play and its unfoldings. What we will say is that the crew all made great use of the space available to them, with the audience following characters from room to room as the tale took them from one place to another- although as one spirit pointed out to us as we passed them on our way, “You don’t have to go with them, you know…” Since different parts of the play were often unfolding in different parts of the venue at the same time not everyone will have the whole picture as to what the plot is anyway. Since there was no stage to divide the actors from the audience, it was a lot more like entering a different dimension than it was going to see a play at any normal theatre. We found ourselves quite at home, surrounded by spirits/figments of the main characters fracturing psyche/heightened consciousness. At times we were not even sure as to whether we had been sucked into the play and become ‘symptoms’ of their unsanity ourselves. At other times, we were fairly certain that we had been- which was a more than unsettling experience.

Observing the audience itself as much as the play offered another level of entertainment. Particularly memorable was to have seen their reactions to the very first spirit manifestation, a genuinely dark and disturbing figure that appeared seemingly from nowhere- thanks to some very clever distraction techniques?- and the fear on the faces of those he approached and interacted with. I suspect that some of them went away with their perceptions of ‘reality’ permanently altered. In a good way. We hope.

The Masque Noir themselves had their own contained space, within which they worked a continuous ritual creating a vortex through which further manifestations may enter our dimension. This was achieved through their own adoption of spirit personas, acting ‘as if’ until entering a generally prelingual condition and displaying some truly phaerie like behaviour- or perhaps even the behaviour of poltergeist, since they were both creative, destructive, quiescent and excitable by turns. One spirit was so badly behaved that we were given no choice but to beat them into submission with our walking stick- the smashed pieces of which were then quickly stolen by other spirits and added to the collaged sigil representing the vortex. That we are not normally aggressive in this manner, and that the fellow whose poltergeist behaviour had so provoked us showed no bruising or harm once leaving trance, is testament to the extremely bizarre atmosphere of this event.

We would also like to congratulate the 491 Gallery itself for playing such wonderful hosts, and for having the courage to allow an event such as this to happen in the very home within which they live. It was a highly challenging event. Blessings upon them all.

Those who were not in attendance have truly missed out on a uniquely mind bending experience. Shame on you. Make sure you catch the next one.

Myth Creation

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.

Retroactive Magic in Ritual

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.

Sewing the Saint's Lips Shut

Video excerpt from FoolishPeople's rehearsal of 'Dark Nights of the Soul- Cycle VI: Carousel' of Santiago Genochio's lips being sewn shut.

Download FoolishPeopleRehearsals.mov

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.
