Musician and songwriter from Los Angeles, guitarist and vocalist for the Illumine Naughty, founder of the Thelemic Order of the Golden Dawn and the Aleister Crowley Foundation, also a published writer, business owner and guitar instructor. Inspired by Jimmy Page to start playing guitar at the age of thirteen. It was also through Jimmy Page that I first heard of the Golden Dawn magician Aleister Crowley and I became a dedicated student of Aleister Crowley's thelemic and spiritual teachings.
"For the serious and dedicated Guitarist, learning to play and master the Guitar represents The Path or Way of Enlightenment of which there is no end. Ultimately, playing the Guitar represents the Path to Spiritual Perfection. The Guitarist is always a Neophyte or Student on this Path. To become a master of the Guitar, relatively speaking, is to always be a Student of the Guitar, continually learning and growing with the instrument. The master never thinks of him or herself as a master, but rather as the eternal Student on whatever Path he or she is walking in life. We are all students here on this little green earth." (The Spiritual Guitar Guide.)

93! Frater, thanks for the compliment, it means a lot coming from you, I made these songs during the Thelemic Holy week, because of space constraints couldn't post them all at once, so 4 new songs a week for now. Hope you're good. Peace!
