This is a little homemade documentary about Egyptian Magick
Here's another one about "The Wheel of the Year in Ancient Egypt"
I am interested in Magick and paganism,
especially Typhonian or Egyptomania.
Politics, philosophy and life in all its aspects
Music
I don't belong to any musical tribe, so my musick is pretty eclective. I really like Coil, especially the last few albums, 'Moon's Milk' and 'Musick to Play in the Dark. At the moment I'm listening to a lot of Jazz, especially Acid. I'm also listening to a 1970s band called Black Widow whose 'Come to the Sabbat' is a bit of a pagan anthem and still fun to listen to. I like Massimo's band Thelema; Current 93, Throbbing Gristle; Psychick TV; Core Anima and Mother Destruction.
Movies
Love films, especially Sci Fi and wyrd stuff - Clive Barker - that kind of thing. Looking forward to seeing Pan's Labyrinth.
Other favourites: Kaos, based on the stories of Pirandello; Nic Roeg's Eureka
Television
Not too much - if i did it would be all kinds of news and documentaries. TV Play's Penda's Fen and Circle Line.
Books
Favourite books:
Norman Mailer's Ancient Evenings
Gustave Meyrinck's Angel at the West Window
Herman Hesse's The Glass Bead Game
Thomas Mann's Dr Faustus
Lindsey Clark's Alchemical Wedding Not sure if it really gets to the heart of the mysteries of Alchemy - but a very engaging story.
Jan Assmann's Moses the Egyptian A crucial book from one of my very favourite scholarly writers.
W Sebald Rings of Saturn: Certainly lives up to its title, a melancholy journey through the byways of an unlikely British landscape (Norwich and its hinterlands) - builds a fugue on the theme of the evanescence of human endeavour.
Sebald The Lovely Bones Enjoyed that a lot - perhaps a bit long, but really liked the combination of true crime 'thriller' and occult theme (or is it conceit).
Kala Trobe The Magick Bookshop : Recommended by Kim and yes I'm actually reading a book by someone I know - maybe she will read my Pan's Road. The narratives in the first half, although very well crafted, are a little bit aimed too squarely at the 'Llewellyn's' demographic for my taste. I did however really enjoy the second half starting with 'Thus said Ron'.
Torey Heydon, Ghost Girl - True crime. Interesting but in the end flawed reprise of the intellectually bankrupt 'satanic' scare books of the early 1990s (see my blogspot for longer response)
American Gangster
Currently reading:
Looking for:
Thomas Mann, Joseph in Egypt
Yuri Lotman, Universe of the Mind
Dyczkowshi The Doctrine of Vibration
Heroes
Jan Assmann, H P Blavatsky, Aleister Crowley, Jan Fries, Gerald Gardner, Kenneth Grant, Maxine Sanders, Pelagius.
Who I'd like to meet: People who'd like to make a decent film about occultism and neopaganism using my script.
Anyone interested in what i'm interested in.
The lady who who was at my talk in London the otherday and told me about the unnerving presence of Seth 'haunting' the V&A ceramics gallery. (See my Bull of Ombos for background). It was a great story and I'd love to go over it again. I'd also like to meet Italian speaking Eqyptologists or anyone familiar with magical sections of Papyrus Turin and/or Brooklyn.
NEW BOOK OUT NOW: Chthonic - Prose & Theory by Vadge Moore
"Vadge Moore is an American author and musician that has spent a lifetime testing the boundaries of good and evil. He toured and recorded with the infamous sleaze-punk institution The Dwarves, apocalyptic rock group Neither-Neither World, and his own nihilist-noise unit Chthonic Force. He has written for the early nineties occult journal Primal Chaos, the esoteric magazine Dagobert's Revenge, and the controversial web 'zine Synthesis. Recently Vadge has taken up an aphoristic-prose style of writing that best expresses his iniquitous and sinister insights into the mind of Man. Chthonic: Prose & Theory is just that; prose wedded to theory that scrutinizes the human, all too human, Monster that is Man." "Chthonic: Prose & Theory" is a collection of perverse and violent prose wedded to his own brand of occult esoterica. Peer into the mind of one of America's greatest living libertines.
Hello my friend! I just wanted to thank you for the kind review of 'Shadow Magick' in the recent newsletter. It means a lot to me! Glad you thought well of it. And thanks: I'm happy to help turn around some of Llewellyn's reputation for publishing unchallenging nonsense!
Looking forward to meeting up when I can hop the pond! ~R~

Hi There Mogg 93 93 93 You wont remember me but we have actually met a few times some years ago now in the late eighties I regularly attended the Thelemic symposiums.....some really really precious memories for me, especially the Do afterwards lol lol. Also I got the chance to meet Tanith (Pinky), whom I admired greatly, before she returned to the Gooddess whom she revered and worked tirelessly to birth... we stayed with Alister and Tanith one year and all attended the event together May the Goddess keep her !!! I was devastated to hear the news from Amodali of what had happened I pray that Alister and the children (probably not so much children now) are doing fine. Its lovely to hear from you Mogg and hope that your keeping well looks like your having a fantastic magickal time from your pics...Sorry about the page ...I have adjusted my page a bit to make it more readable...the blogs on the page are writing that I have submitted for the forth coming Ultraculture journal in the hope that they will go in !!!
Great to be in touch again Mogg. Had no idea that there had been a Thelemic Symposium this month! Am sorry to have missed it. Will it be happening next year? X Amodali
Hey Mogg, happy un-brithday to you too! All is well here, if a bit smokey...but yes, thriving is probably a good word to describe it. How are things in Oxford? M~
