   Algol-Rhythms & Eclipse Magicks ∴ PRAGMAGICK

   https://youtu.be/ZZzP7DSH-ZM A ramshackle final dispatch from the Seattle Dimming Room. This will premiere as we are driving towards our new era and saying goodbye to a bountiful five years in Seattle. Read the accompanying literary piece via Substack:https://keatsross.substack.com/p/algol-rhythms-eclipse-magicks Help support our work-vehicle needs and relocation costs:https://spotfund.com/relocationcosts The Seattle Dimming Room ends today. This hodge-podge heretical holler of a video/audio cast is the final cross-current release between HAUNTOMANCER & PRAGMAGICK of the Seattle era. I don’t believe I’ve been able to tend to these currents since the This transmission was a nightmare to cobble together—not because of any of the subject matter directly (although I’m sure the combined eclipse resonances discussed carry some blame), and not because of any prodcuction issues in creating its segments—but because of the tundra of confluences (beyond just the eclipses) and the heavy somatick staticks abound bore a sore stasis. It was tethered together on the nape of a new head’s growth, and it may be discernable through the ramshackle technomantik issues apparent in the final draft. Amidst sacrificing a 5-year hard-won atmosphere into boxes and trunks fit for bigger and brighter while punching the malkuthian timeenergy captital-suckage of a tireless work/life balance is reason enough for the silence as of late, but I couldn’t simply arrange this bric-a-brac episode together without some form of mercurian grump-glitch throwing a bone at every plan laid. Using everything else outside my usual tools and talismans proved quite the feat, but this is but the growing pains of the headless. Still a wild body be-bopping and jigging in arrhythmic meter while the new head grows—no mouth to tooth a scream but a whole lotta leg to run ragged even still. And we got here, didn’t we? via SUBSTACK: https://keatsross.substack.com/p/algol-rhythms-eclipse-magicks Watch & Listen to new ⁨@revelrosz⁩ musick currently being released:ROSZ ALGOL PLAYLIST https://youtu.be/PfNcgHhKHAY?si=EAeFOJx1YR0ANgiT New episodes, musicks, magicks, liminalstreams and more from the new & improved DIMMING ROOM very soon...

   “CIRKLES” ∴ The Aspektre, DraftMagick, Hauntomancy

   Published via HAUNT MANUAL via the HAUNTOMANCER CURRENT as well: https://keatsross.substack.com/p/cirkles-draftmagick THIS IS THE AUDIO FROM THE  CINEMATIK VIDEOMANCY RELEASE THAT WAS CASTED TO BE SEEN, NOT JUST HEARD, WATCH BELOW IF YOUR PODCATCHER DOESN’T HAVE THE VIDEO: (https://youtu.be/1D93jFcNT-M) I was reticent to widely share this hauntomantik videomancy cut-up… …largely because it makes a coming transformation manifest, and somewhat allows dark-maneuvered looky-loo’s my coming whereabouts. But, fuck it, dude, life’s a risk. Besides, the announcement embedded is too perfect an elipses and haunted coda for the Haunt Manual / Hauntomancy / Hauntomancer works writ large. Haunt Manual began with the Spektre working…a working that thrust my self-spektre to a temporal coordinants and the static atmosphere of the 2017 ghost I communed with back in 2022. And here we are, post the many workings, on the verge of the Hauntomancy-made-manifest ARTifact and HauntSIGIL, ALGOL, and the true PROSPEKTRE awakening all these years later… From the forthcoming SPEKTRIVIUM out via WE THE HALLOWED PRESS… In a perfect HAUNTOMANCY cirkle I’m now afforded to return having grown and sussed all since that truncated sojourn within the Portland Spektre of 2017 in 2022. It’s too damn appropriate. Magick imitates art imitates life and back again… Where it all began: Disolver Eco Resonar ∴ Haunt Manual Revelator Rosz December 16, 2022 ∴ ABOUT THE EPISODE August brings a HAUNTOMANTIK look toward a seachange for PRAGMAGICK PODCAST and https://wethehallowed.org subscribers… The first few August uploads will be re-purposed, edited, transmuted and mutated transmissions originally found through https://patreon.com/pragmagick as a way to catch this current up before brand new transmissions and major announcements… The first was a look at “THREE MONTHS AGO” when the DIMMING ROOM was at it’s apex construktion before I knew any better: ∴ PART 2: “CIRKLES” This one concerns the major ellipses and coda reach-around of Hauntomantik comings and goings… from the ROSZ AL GHUL to ROSZ ALGOL transformation, the WE THE HALLOWED 10 year growth, and the coming relocation that was written in the first working of HAUNTOMANCY’s SPEKTRE WORKING all those years ago…1 The introduction is true documentarian footage of me finalizing the last SOMATICK package HEXKASSETTES while creating a VEXKASSETTE (a patreon subseries of unscripted micro-cassette vexations) the morning before I told my job that I would be leaving… In a more present reprieve, it discusses my recent stasis as disgruntled tinkerer, with an impromptu monologue about when an artist is ever really finished—considering, at the time, I was in the throws of the tinker saunter experimentation that felt was distracting from focused finality. Such as the ASPEKTRE is wont to do…2 A major tide is churning, both above and below, for Revelator Rosz. Of course, it just so happens to idio-synch with Rosz’s anarchic metaphysical and artistic praxis, HAUNTOMANCY, in that a forthcoming graphic primer / zine titled THE SPEKTRIVIUM is due next month along with the first three songs off the Hauntomantik debut album, ALGOL. The SPEKTRIVIUM previews: Listen to a mix from one of ALGOL 1’s tracks, “CIRKLE (SONDER)” that features in the video above: https://on.soundcloud.com/HHH1BbfCBMphp67oDF The HAUNTOMANCY Primer refines years of the HAUNTOMANCER work through HAUNT MANUAL into concise graphics designed by yours truly that both preludes the full printed collection of writings while synchronizing the magicks-in-practice and execution within the audiomancy magicks of ALGOL. ∴ From ROSZ AL GHUL to ROSZ ALGOL “ALGOL,” the true debut from REVELATOR ROSZ (not counting the cassette-only release of its proto-born “ROSZ AL GHUL” which you can purchase via https://wethehallowed.bandcamp.com) is also rearing its true reveal.

The Primer refines the years of HAUNTOMANCY work through HAUNT MANUAL into concise graphics that prelude the printed collection of writings. https://keatsross.substack.com "ALGOL," the true debut from REVELATOR ROSZ (not counting the cassette-only release of its proto-born "ROSZ AL GHUL" which you can purchase via https://wethehallowed.bandcamp.com) is also rearing its true reveal. The track used in this podcast edit is of "GHEISZT", a draft of the opening track from ALGOL. You can hear drafts, new mixes, and fleeting sonicks via soundcloud: https://on.soundcloud.com/wdWvUNinQ1hCWarG5I REVELATOR∴ROSZ · GHEISZT ∴ Ectogaszmik Mix (Scratch Vocals / Rough Draft Lyriks) The track, "SONDER", is probably the closest to release ready and will most likely be the first single: https://on.soundcloud.com/d1qiUWbTaXoffI4wbb This first episode shares in the SPEKTRE of the sacred space, THE DIMMING ROOM, at the apex of its Cascadian iterations utility and creative fervor. Of course, three months ago didn't feel like anything outside of the normal hyper cast & conjure liminalstream for the newfound @hauntomancer imprint and "dead tech necromancy" specific media current. But now it makes perfect sense that it was the beginning of its rebirth. https://pandora.app.link/g4GL2FmAKVb PART 2 will explore the Aspektre's consistent punch of #draftmagick or the revelry outside the public eye, tinkering and toiling on the big projects that come. Largely recorded in bits and bops for patrons just 3 weeks ago... The intro and Patreon Thanks at the end was filmed and captured from VHS tape (thus intentional audio and video irregularities).

   THE LIVING LORE FILM SCORE ∴ SOUND MAGICK ∴ AUDIOMANCY

   Before we discuss this episode's Audiomancy... The Divergent Magick Grimoire is now out on hardback: PURCHASE HARDBACK VIA AMAZON: https://a.co/d/ck9mfZz Read more about the D∴M∴G∴ https://keatsross.substack.com/p/the-divergent-magick-grimoire Watch the Unedited Liminalstream Introduction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJDFZ-iAB7A&t=5 THIS EPISODE: I call this a Living Film Score because it has been a rollicking soundtrack that illuminates the Noirs (or metaphysical darkened corners) of the day, and ignites them Neon. Perhaps, you too, will allow this breathing and churning sound magick to brighten the mundane in your own film lore. All musick heard was performed live & recorded live to 4 track cassette tape. Because it is recorded live and on cassette tape, and because everything is improvised, sound quality may vary! But I exalt the warts and all as these rituals are vulnerable exorcisms. This "Living Lore Film Score" was composed of two completely improvised DIM SESSIONS (or Audiomancy Rituals) performed and recorded on 12/24 & 12/25 utilizing a new ritual setup. These gusts of creative abandon evoke the PROSPECTRE from the Hauntomancy Workings of HAUNT MANUAL by marrying the SPECTRE ∴ ASPECTRE and all that came from 2023's raucous sound magick works! Here is the 2023 Videosigil Vigil of these very Dim Sessions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfpI72K7dWM&t=2285s This also is the score and tether for the 2024 Analog Audio Sigil released via PRAGMAGICK: PLEASE LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE, RATE, WHATEVER to help get more eyes/ears/hearts/haunts on this deeply intentional Audio Sigil & Videomancy! I also composed a Haunt Manual piece that goes more in-depth about its tethers and sections: “An in-depth look into The Dimming Room Tapes’ Analog Audiomancy Sigil, its Videomancy and the Divergent Magick Grimoire” https://keatsross.substack.com/p/the-dimming-room-tapes SUBSCRIBE TO HAUNT MANUAL: DIVERGENT MAGICK GRIMOIRE: 2024 will be the YEAR OF THE DIVERGENT MAGICK ANARCHIC GRIMOIRE!

   ULTRA_SPECTRE ENTANGLER∴ Wren Collier ∴ Haunt Manual ∴ HAUNTOMANCER

   READ the full literary shownotes at HAUNTMANAUL.COM: http://keatsross.substack.com/p/ultra-spectre-entangler Become a PATRON for early access and secret magicks not fit for public consumption: Become a Patron! I’m trying something new. Think of this audio-cast as an audiomantic footnote for the whole of HAUNT MANUAL, my multi-media grimoire, and think of the companion literary chapter as shownotes to this wonderful audio-cast. There are magicks and arts separate from one another, but together they form a multi-media third mind, or thirdscene... WREN COLLIER: WREN COLLIER LINKS: BLOG - https://liminalroom.com/ TWITTER - https://twitter.com/liminalbird From "Ulra_Spectre Entangler" via HAUNTMANUAL.COM: Wren Collier, a storied ufology researcher, occult practitioner, and general rad-brained rambler authored the online New Aeon English Qabalah (ALW Cipher) gematria calculator, NAEQ.IO, with techgnosistitician and glitch-witch, Alynne Keith. A simple tool that calculates the numerical value of the cipher from any word or phrase prompt. It has been my most used techno-magickal tool since decoding my hauntomancy workings, such as the Prospectre Ritual, since. It is rare that this analog/digital daemon dips into the software pool of occult tools, but this one is as simple and as extraordinarily useful without impeding many processes that are often sacrificed in technological magicks by their lonesome. It could be argued that the long process of equating the words with paper and long-maths is a deeply held praxis, and to that I agree, however, it is simply a tool for me within a barrage of majorly physical processes within my workings. I’ve done both, but love to love the simple calculator to allow for passing thoughts or walking epiphanies to be quickly computed and logged in my lexicon. I spoke to Wren Collier about his creation of the NAEQ.IO tool, the ALW Cipher’s origins, but I believe most importantly, who or what we are channeling within these Great Works? Is it the other, ultraterrestrial or ghost, the temporally displaced self, or preternatural pareidolia... Wren Collier is an avid scholar of the paranormal, having been obsessed from an early age with the anomalous and the occult. He is currently working on several projects, including a guide to modern necromancy, a online calculator utilizing the New Aeon English Qabalah, and an indie dungeon crawler. He sells fine occult tools and materia at Atelier Argent and runs an occult and anomalistics focused Discord server called Lunar Cry. LIMINALROOM Wren Collier is an occultist and Thelemite living in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He is a frequent contributor on the "Where Did The Road Go?" podcast, as well as contributing to projects like NAEQ.IO and the Lunar Cry occult community. He also sells fine occult goods at his Etsy store, Atelier Argent, and is working on his first book, "CTHONIA", an exploration of katabasis narratives, underground kingdoms, pulp sci-fi, and the Hollow Earth. He has been a presenter and organizer for the Strange Realities conference in Nashville, TN for the past three years.

This working is the “thridscene” (∴) for my living, multi-media grimoire, HAUNT MANUAL: http://hauntmanual.com “This is PART 1 of an inner-episodic series concerning the Prospectre Ritual: its decoding of its paranormal transmissions and ritual results, interviews discussing its hypotheses (am I communicating with ultraterriestrials, pareidolia, Holy Guardian Angels or the SUPRA-SELF?) all connected to the multi-media grimoire, Haunt Manual. This is the third working (Spectre / Aspectre/ PROSPECTRE) that utilizes my audiomancy with a spirit box to commune with the “other”. Next episode I speak with Wren Collier about The ALW CIPHER & NAEQ.IO, a tool I used to decipher the Prospectre’s spirit box transmissions while punch-pondering about ultraterrestials, the confluence of the occult and ufology, personal folklore and more.” The HAUNT MANUAL anarchic lexicon thus far: Hauntomancy is my praxis that mixes audiomancy (sound or musick sorcery) and other magickal means to hauntologically e/invoke the ghosts of past-selves for varying intentions. These Hauntomancy workings are usually done in rituals I have termed “Dim Sessions” – a long practiced audiomancy ritual to “Dim The Tzim-Tzum” or help diminish the contraction of the preternatural that creates our perceivable reality. These Dim Sessions are performed with carefully chosen talismans and instrumentation called “Sceptres” specific to their invocation intention. These are my vajra, my charged instruments of application. These are performed in my musickal and magickal space called “The Dimming Room.” The first working, The Spectre Working, (Sine Wave Serpents) called on the self of 2017 – a magickal year of birth that fortified my many current passions using instruments (or Sceptres) from 2017 to call-forth my 2017 self. The Aspectre Working (Disolver Eco Resonar) is a Dim Session that charged and e/invoked an aspect of self I have long sought to get back – the aspect of a creative abandon free from judgement and expectation- a personage I haven’t felt since I was young. This e/invocation was intentionally not year-specific as with Spectre working. This 3rd ritual, the Prospectre Working (Sever Tether Revelator) is a Dim Session that charged and e/invoked a supposed prospect of self, neither-either-or the past or present, a thirdscene for what may-be. This working utilized radically different Sceptres (instruments) to commune with cassette tape recordings of my voice in the past speaking with a Spirit Box while performing with drums, glossalilia, guitar and more.

Mixtape Art by Luxa Strata ∴ ECTOGASM “ASPECTRE” ASPECTRE (Audiomancy From The Unrealized Film) by ECTOGASM Through the sinew of 22-23, I created and casted “ASPECTRE” under the moniker ECTOGASM. The music was recorded and performed as a live-streamed audiomancy ritual for my Hauntomancy workings (as explored in my Haunt Manual). I decided to clean it up and create an unrealized film score; I named the tracks utilizing various cut-ups of my literary works and ideas. The album is on bandcamp and will have a major release on all streaming platforms next month. Watch The Full ECTOGASM “ASPECTRE” DIM SESSION: https://youtu.be/QigDkQY8VdU “ASPECTRE”- Audiomancy From An Unrealized Film Score“ morphs my audiomancy and multimedia grimoire Haunt Manual “Dim Sessions”  into a melodic, cinematic cacophony of ramshackle analog/circuitry lust! This is the first of many under my long dormant ECTOGASM moniker, and all correlate to hauntology-of-the-self magickal workings as evidenced in my recent Pragmagick episodes. All sounds were performed live, you can watch the ritual on the PRAGMAGICK youtube. This ritual specifically used cassette and Casio manipulation, but every ritual differs.

    DIM SESSION 02 “SPECTRE” ∴ Audiomancy ∴ Haunt Manual Score ∴ Updates

    Here is the full, instrumental, improvised audiomancy stream that scored the last Haunt Manual. As I recover from the batbug*- I am finding that my scores really are audiosigil blueprints of magnetically occult-minded album skeletons. So I did some slight editing and hope you meditate and dip into some transdimensional wayfaring to this score that burped from my ghost. I have been inspired to utilize these Dim Sessions to conjure audiomantic records by turning these improvised sets into the muscular skeletons of formal albums… The audio is the last Haunt Manual chapter’s “DIM SESSION” in all its glory while its companion, the thirdscene, is constructed… ∴UPDATES FROM SUBSTACK While I construct the new Haunt Manual chapter, I thought I’d utilize Substack’s newsletter feature to aggregate the multi-media gusts of haunted hoots and hollers that echoed throughout October and November… ∴AUDIOMANCY ∴ New “DIM SESSION” Audiomancy Ritual My closing audiomantic ritual (“Dim Session”) for the soon-to-be-released Haunt Manual chapter (and conclusion of “Sine Wave Serpents”) was performed this week. The mechanics of instrumentation (talismans) utilized for the improvised set, like all prior, are deeply intentional and correlate to the hauntological workings professed in the chapter’s innards. This is why all ritual scores for the Haunt Manual audio chapters have been so radically different. This one utilizes lo-fi cassette manipulation, an old casio keyboard and a live-programmed drum machine to match the human error integration with automaton spits and spurts of my own overarching developments. This recent musical experiment reminded me of the want to create a channeled lo-fi electronic and film-score-centric project entitled ECTOGASM (I reserved the name and its bandcamp years ago- which further proves the hauntomancy made manifest by bridging synapses long forgotten!) I also have been inspired to utilize these Dim Sessions to conjure audiomantic records by turning these improvised sets into the muscular skeletons of formal albums, but more on that later… Thanks for reading HAUNT ∴ MANUAL! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. ∴ “Sine Wave Serpents I & 2” Video & Audio Companions Speaking of the Haunt Manual, my last chapter, Sine Wave Serpents Divisions I & II, have been compiled for the audio and visual companion. I created an enriching videomantic edit to accompany the audio chapter (which was wide released via the Pragmagick podcast). You can view/listen here: ∴ DAKOTA SLIM “BARDOS” now on Spotify & Streaming Platforms My last Dakota Slim record, BARDOS, is now on Spotify and will be available on all streaming platforms within the week. The record was constructed during the height of the pandemic while stationed in Colorado. It encapsulates a horrowing introspection and punching yearn to break through the barriers of self-imposed exile within mental health, addiction and the year long mile-high sabbatical of awkward off-set localization: ∴DIALOGUES ∴ Liminalstream with JJ of REINE DE BLANC Finally had a formal chat with dear friend and metalsmith mage, JJ, of REINE DE BLANC designs. We discuss wayfaring wanderlust, artistry and her brilliant work as a metal-smith that creates talismans and ornaments of power and protection. I always adore peaking through tactile mediums of art and magick, and the alchemy of metallurgy is a brilliant confluence of both. ∴ Appearance on BLACK HOODIE ALCHEMY I was able to usher in the autumnal swing as a guest on two fantastic shows.

    BHA23: Ghostbusting the Psyche (feat. Keats Ross of PragMagick)

    I had the pleasure of guesting on brother-from-another-February-number Anthony Tyler’s wonderful fringe.fm broadcast, Black Hoodie Alchemy. I have spoken to Anthony via the PRAGMAGICK audiocast as well as an appearance on the PRAGMAGICK liminalstream series in the past which you may find here: ∴ Anthony’s first appearance on the Pragmagick AudioCast: DEEP ‘SEE’ DIVER ∴ Anthony Tyler ∴ PRAGMAGICK ∴ Anthony’s recent Pragmagick Liminalstream appearance: I have grown very fond of Anthony’s rugged resolve considering all the self-spelunking and trans-dimensional wayfaring he surfs! Also, Anthony wrote two extremely compelling books, one of which fellow WtH haunt, Adorner Millar, designed the book cover for which you can find at: DIVEMIND.net I’ll let Anthony speak on the rest. Haunt on! Revelator ∴ Keats Ross PRAGMAGICK.com From Anthony Tyler, Author of Dive & Hunt Manuals, Host of BLACK HOODIE ALCHEMY: “This time around, Keats Ross of the PragMagick podcast is here to get our fingers deep in the dark recesses of our unconscious minds, doing some kinds of ghost-busting that you’ve probably never considered before! Yes, we’ll be celebrating the Halloween season a little bit — and for most you that are listening to this outside of October, don’t be discouraged! The content is applicable to any season, but it’s just so fitting right now. You can listen to the episode right here! Yes, it’s gonna be a form of hungry-ghost-busting! Keats talks to us about his multi-media work that he’s entitled “Haunt Manual” discussing the aspects of our characters, our egos, our minds, and our lives that haunt us. We talk quite a bit about both eastern and western esotericism, discussing ritual and ceremony in drug rehabilitation and other forms of therapy, the archetypes of hungry ghosts and demons and angels, and the alchemical process of rooting around in our own minds in order to purify and renew what we’ve thrown away through trauma and misunderstanding. We also talk a little bit about Keats’ history growing up with his father, a man who hosted a show very similar to the ones Keats and I host! Through his father, Keats met as a child prominent names such as Robert Anton Wilson and even Timothy Leary, which helped to inspire his own pursuits to this day. Pull the cosmic trigger: search back through the stories and art that inspired you as a child, forgive yourself for your mistakes, stop letting nostalgia and regret torment you, and dig deep into your psyches to forgive and renew the aspects that haunt you. Happy Halloween season to ya!” Check out all of Keats’ material here: Haunt Manual’s released chapters, audio and written! pragmagick.com The featured music this week is all courtesy of Keats Ross and his artistic alter ego, Dakota Slim — an ego that is brought up plenty throughout this conversation of ours: Wasted Bones – Dakota Slim Cactus Crown – Dakota Slim Courtesy of Anthony’s DiveMind.net – a rich source for all Anthony’s writing, broadcasting and trans-dimensional wayfaring.

    Neither Either Or ∴ Haunt Manual ∴ Pragmagick

    Welcome to an ongoing series entitled Haunt Manual that is both an audiocast and column on wethehallowed.org, with the full chapter on substack. In this fluid, multi-media grimoire I will document my ongoing praxis to commune with my contradictory ghost, to rediscover and reveal the tenets of our anarchic collective We The Hallowed, and discuss all artistic and magickal practices involved.

Millar of No Gods But My Own Read the full chapter on the brand new substack: https://keatsross.substack.com/ ∴ Intro I am haunted. I find myself in a static stasis, reverberating in place. Like the Tower Card, it’s as if I’m always exploding foundations and rebuilding in a constant loop. I often compare myself to the Dharma Bum, a beat-ific idea of anarchic freedom, snickering at the rubble and ash beneath, never tied to what came before. But the thing is, I am haunted. I am haunted by extremes – whether it‘s being an aloof instigator of a creative community, or a dogma-less routine-driven magician. I have never given proper communion to this ghost, this tether to all things pragmatic and artistic, this innate contradiction within all that I do. I would balk and run from memory, and find myself arrested as to where and how to move forward with nothing truly gained. In hindsight, it’s an old tale about doomed repetition. But I know this ghost simply yearns to be both, or something different altogether. How do I commune with this specter of self? How do I find the “third mind” of energetic revelation between the opposites I find myself forever wrestling. How do I, as a spontaneous creative, become a stable magician? Is it possible? The past few months I caught a whiff of being in front of the oncoming Tower. I can see the revolutions of self before me, whether it be behaviors and actions, or environmental interactions. Where will I be next year? Will anything be resolved? Will I continue to churn and burn through habitual sabotage and struggle? Perhaps it is time to finally consort the elements that birthed my contradictory ghost. My habitual process during these times of existential stress finds myself lamenting on all that I need to rid or exorcise. I find myself hitting black mesas and shallow plateaus looking and looking outward, and I get disgruntled and bungled even more so. But I aim to go about this differently this time: I need to remember and invoke/evoke why I’ve created servitors such as Dakota Slim, Pragmagick, and We The Hallowed. It is time to investigate the inspirations and machinations that have brought me my muse. And it has occurred to me that this same ghost, the one howling underneath, has been both my poison and antidote all along… Read the full chapter on the brand new substack: https://keatsross.substack.com/ I want to give a big thanks to Eric J.
