Reason is a lie; for there is a factor infinte
<p>Samadhi or sex-act? We mull over the meaning of a crucial passage in The Book of the Law. From there, we explore the proper role of reason in magic and mysticism, and the drawbacks of academic thinking.

Nor do I demand aught in sacrifice
<p>A health scare provokes some reflections on mortality before the conversation turns to developments in personal practice. Then we warm to our main theme: the relevance of the recently released Epstein files to the spiritual and magical community. Finally, we turn our attention to the paranormal, exploring an alternative understanding of its nature.</p><br><p>Jeffery A.

The pain of division is as nothing
<p>After some general updates, our central theme is "the evocation of the evil genius". Taking its origin in a passing reference by Crowley, we trace the meaning and relevance of this idea through the work of Nick Land, Carl Jung, Crowley, Philip K.
