WESTERN CEREMONIAL MAGICK -- ORDO TEMPLI ORIENTIS (O.T.O. ) --Since 1975 I've been deeply involoved in the work of Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.) a magical fraternal organization formed at the turn of the 20th century and led for a number of years by the controversial writer/poet/mountaineer/magician, Aleister Crowley. I am currently the O.T.O.'s United States Deputy Grand Master General. I travel quite alot each year, both on Order business and to promote my books and DVDs.
FREEMASONRY---I'm a Freemason, and take particular interest in the esoteric aspects of this venerable Craft.
WRITING -- I have been writing professionally since 1990. I've been very lucky in getting my books published. ( See www.lonmiloduquette.com ) I currently have fourteen or so titles currently in print and have had my books translated into 11 languages.
I'm constantly working on new books and other occult related projects
RELAXATION -- I am very lazy. I'm a non-smoker. I play the guitar and write songs. Which brings me to......
CHARLEY D. AND MILO -- I was a musician as a young man. I even did some songwriting and together with my partner Charley D. Harris recorded two singles and an album on the Epic Records label. We called ourselves Charley D. and Milo. I recently recorded a CD of my songs of sentiment and blaspheme that if you go to my website you can purchase .... I'm not asking you to listen to... just buy it.
I try to relax everyday by playing my guitar and ukulele. This irritates Constance no end. (But she likes the ukulele best ... she says it gives me "Homeopathic Sex-appeal."
Music
..Generated by Mp3Realm.org
Very eclectic. (I hate that word for some reason.) Classical music is my soundtrack-of-life drug of choice, but I love all sorts of genres and artists, especially standards from the 30s...Cole Porter, the Gershwin brothers, Josephine Baker. I was crazy about the Beatles, Bob Dylan, and the Fuggs, but I'm not very knowledgeable about newer artists, not out of lack of interest, but simply out of lack of hours in the day. I was a musician before I became a magician. I pretty much gave it a rest for 25 years. Now I love to plunk around. About a year and a half ago I acquired a beautiful new Larrivee OM-03 that sounds so good it makes me cry. I've even recently recorded a CD of my blasphemous ditties. You can (shameless plug warning) you can even order it at:

Please get it. It's not like I'm asking you to listen to it!
Movies
Back in the early 70s I studied acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute in Hollywood. Strasberg was still alive and teaching the Monday workshops. That was a real thrill. I didn't really have acting ambitions. I just thought it would be cool to be educated in the "Method". I love film though, but I travel so much that I mostly have to see my movies at 35,000 feet and hear them on funky little headsets. My classic favorites are; Rear Window, North by Northwest, Elmer Gantry, Robin Hood, The Man Who Would be King, Chinatown, LA Confidential, Akira, Spirited Away, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Kill Bill II, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, anything with the master Depp, Remains of the Day, Howard's End, Lord of the Rings (all), Good Night, Good Luck, Unforgiven, Airplane, Young Frankenstein, and the 1966 short film, "Da Duva (The Dove)."..
Television
Constance and I are the classic PBS family. We don't have cable and so are missing out on a few of the better things (I lament missing the Daily Show). But I certainly don't miss the 'reality' shows and Fox News. I appear from time to time on television programs that need a comment or two by an occult studies expert with silver hair, but I've yet to actually see the programs in which I appear.
I confess that I like The Office and My Name is Earl (and when Constance is taking a bath, the Law and Order programs.
Books
Ironically, I don't read much for recreation. I do, however, consume more than my share of quaint and curious volumes of forbidden lore, some of it very old and rare.

Enochian Vision Magick: An Introduction and Practical Guide to the Magick of Dr. John Dee and Edward Kelley (Paperback)
Dr. John Dee (1527-1608) was one of the greatest minds of the Elizabethan Age, and his system of angelic communication was the result of the most dramatic magical operation ever recorded. It has survived to become the cornerstone of the modern ceremonial magician’s practice. In 1582 Dee and his clairvoyant partner Edward Kelley made magical contact with a number of spiritual entities who identified themselves as angels — the same that communicated with Adam, Enoch, and the patriarchs of the Old Testament. Over the next three years they revealed to Dee and Kelley three distinct magical systems of vision magick. The third and last of these incorporated a series of "calls" to be recited in an angelic language in order to raise the consciousness of the magician to a level where angelic contact is possible. Best-selling author and magician, Lon Milo DuQuette, who has practiced Dee’s system for over twenty-five years, has seized upon elements of the original Dee material overlooked by adepts of the Golden Dawn, Aleister Crowley, and other modern magicians, and brought them to light in Enochian Vision Magick. DuQuette offers the expert and novice alike the practical means by which they can become attuned in the same simple step-by-step manner that first prepared Dee and Kelley.
There has never been a book on Enochian magick like this one

I was born in Long Beach California in 1948. The family moved to Nebraska when I was seven and I stayed ten years ... long enough to meet my future wife, Constance, and graduate (with her help) from high school. Then back to California where we still live today.
My interests focus on discovering my True Will and then doing it. To that end I have for the last 35 years or so (I'm currently 60 years old) endeavored to explore the spiritual path of the Western Initiatory Mysteries: the Hermetic Qabalah; Ceremonial Magick; and Esoteric Freemasonry.
I'm a poor student very lazy easily distracted and giggle entirely too much. Be that as it may, without any guileful effort on my part I woke up one morning in 1988 and realized that most of the magical experts and adepts -- most of my spiritual teachers and heroes -- most of the people on earth who knew more about these mysterious subjects -- most of the people who had more experience in the field than I -- were dead.
I started to write books (www.lonmiloduquette.com) the kind of books I wish I could have read in the early years of my magical career books that might have helped me shave a few precious years off the learning curve of my studies. Thats all I do now. I'm a full-time Lon Milo DuQuette. I travel a lot every year, lecturing and promoting my work.
My dear wife, Constance (my high school sweetheart) has for the last 41 years been my muse, my touchstone of sanity, and my most ruthless critic. I, on the other hand, have been and continue to be the gross and ponderous millstone around her angelic neck that prevents her gossamer soul from soaring heavenward.
We have one son, Jean-Paul Lafayette DuQuette, who is 37 and is a university professor in Kyoto Japan. He and his wife, Miwa, have a beautiful baby boy. Little Alexander is our first grandchild.

Hello, hope your travels are going well.. I would like to recommend that you watch Fourth Kind. A new movie out now with actual abduction footage (but not the et's you may imagine),that actually makes the connection between ET's and Sumerian mythologogy /language, etc. I found it very fascinating as this is a subject close to my heart. (I am a huge Kenneth Grant fan, Lovecraft....etc...) I have not as of yet read the book that it is based on but shall now have to. The film is amazing because it includes actual photage/video sound recordings of extra or intra or what ever- terrestials actually speaking in mainly ancient Sumerian! (Author is a Sumerian language professor.). I think it would be cool to maybe anaylze it further and maybe see if we can make any connections to say Necronomicon or something..at one point in the film the entity (which sounds more like a Chutulu demon off the Exorcist.) is asked a question and he replies: "I am......GOD...."
Finally, after almost a year of waiting... the Cult of Cthulhu has been officially recognized by the U.S. government as tax exempt just like all the white light religions out there. Well, we've got our own ichorous green light shining up from the depths of R'lyeh. Time to start building temples... because we are a real religion.
Hail Dread Cthulhu!
Now is the time to join the Left Hand Path's answer to the question: where do we go from here? Ia Ia Cthulhu Cult. Please visit our website for additional information: www.CultofCthulhu.net
But to love me
is better than all things: if under the night-stars in the desert thou
presently burnest mine incense before me, invoking me with a pure
heart, and the Serpent flame therein, thou shalt come a little to lie
in my bosom. For one kiss wilt thou then be willing to give all; but
whoso gives one particle of dust shall lose all in that hour.
