Exciting Ad! Sex, Death & the Occult

Upcoming Educational Course /Liminal Event / Group Online Ritual

[Yes, that’s a magical cactus woman. You certainly know a magical cactus woman when you see one! I congratulate you. Subscribers to the Xagick substack will have already seen a version of this micro-infomercial for our upcoming online course/group magic experiment. And if you can’t make it to the in-person gathering in Vermont this week, a few Saturdays in October might be your next best bet to make contact. We’ll be back here in a week or two with an article about different aspects of the human self (thinking of calling it “Top 10 Selves!”) and after that an interesting exploration of collapse, overload, and messiness in high-sensitivity, high-consciousness, high-competence communities.]

Starting in a few weeks:

An online Xagick course with myself and Rachel Hayden from Queer Liminal & The Temple of the Starving Moon.

Transpersonal + Transsexual + Transrational = Trans-ontological

This will be an edgy, fun, and safe (?) exploring of new and ancient occult methods through the lens of those strange twin powers — Sex and Death. Arousal and Limitation. Ecstasy and Boundary. Fertility and Fertilizer.

Each session will be based on a numerical and symbolic influence that we will explore through (a) study of classical occultism (b) “xagick” as a cognitive, psychoanalytic, and philosophical mutation of esoteric practice for an emerging bio-digital and planetary age of archaic futurism (c) personal and collective inner skill-building and practice work (d) recommended readings and viewings (e) homework assignments.

Each session will also be part of a group ritual working designed to connect your personal needs (money, sex, love, health, influence, meaning, etc) to the unfolding the general influence and potency of the new thought and new culture networks in which we all participate.

So that’s a lot.

Whether you join the live sessions, the community circles or just follow-along on your own with pre-recorded material, it is going to be a lot. But it will also be a lot of fun. We are counting on the energy of your participation and we want you (and all of us) to get a lot better at using our subconscious agency to skew the future.

And if you’re not sure what occultism is (beyond teenage witches, diabolical poseurs & new age mumbo-jumbo) just think about progressive intergenerational wisdom lineages that emphasize these kinds of things:

• Agency.

• Intention.

• Mystery.

• Desire.

• Alternative Sensemaking.

• Embodied Spirituality.

• Subtle energy work.

• Subconscious influence.

• Entities (personal, imaginal & collective)

• Trance states.

• Imaginal Virtuosity.

So all that plus SEX and DEATH.

It’s probably too much — but maybe you’re up for it.

What’s the point of your self-development, metacognition and philosophical clarity if you don’t get better at magic?
