SSOTBME was originally commissioned by Christopher McIntosh (author of Eliphas levi and the French Occult Revival and other works on Hermetic and Masonic history) as an essay for a semi-academic collection of essays on comparative religion. That project never happened, but the material was expanded into a small book published by the author in 1974. The book was an immediate success with a new wave of practicing magicians in the UK, including Pete Carroll, Ray Sherwin and other members of what was to become the Chaos Magic movement. Further editions were printed including a German, two Polish and a US edition. This new edition, published in 2002, is considerably revised, expanded and brought right up to date

There's much food for thought here, whether you're just starting in on magic or consider yourself an old hand. If you've got friends, lovers, bosses, etc. wondering what all this weird stuff is about and you want to steer them towards an intelligent intro to magic - look no further than S.S.O.T.B.M.E..

A witty and wild invitation to expand your magical horizons and reassess your worldview.

Perhaps the most practical book ever written on developing psychic powers.

The book that launched the virtual reality debate back in 1986 is back in print - with four additional appendices.

It raises the question: Which is most fundamental - matter, energy or information? Are we living in a virtual, information-based reality? Or are we simply bound to believe that we are?

Independence, randomness and irrelevance are basic qualities expected of material reality, but costly attributes in a virtual reality where connectedness would be the expected norm - suggesting a magical universe where divination and action at a distance are to be expected. Do traditional notions of angels, gods, other dimensions and spiritual worlds, assume new significance in a virtual reality?

A 15th-century grimoire, or book of magic, that includes instructions on how an individual can make contact with their Holy Guardian Angel.

The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage is a 15th-century grimoire describing how an individual retire for six months and encounter the Holy Guardian Angel. Although the instructions may seem quite simple, few have managed to complete this operation. In 1977 the author attempted to adapt the ritual to twentieth century conditions, and his diary is now published by Aeon Books as The Abramelin Diaries.

While the Abramelin Diaries was being edited and published, tthe author made a number of short YouTube videos about his experiences. These created so much interest, that the author has edited the transcriptsto create Thoughts on Abramelin.

They used to call it Satire, they now call it Fake News.

The difference is that we have forgotten how to laugh.

A collection of essays exploring post-truth politics, the future of humanity, panarchy, conspiracy theories and such topics in the context of the current rise of magical thinking.

In My Years of Magical Thinking the author suggested

that we are entering an era of post-religious and post-scientific magical thinking. One consequence is a

downplaying of the importance of truth - but not

necessarily a denial of truth.

Others speak of a post truth society - is this the same thing? What does magical thinking put in place of truth? These essays explore some possible consequences.

Edited from transcripts of videos on the author's

popular YouTube channel.
