Because of paranormal experiences like those he describes in his book Occult Experiments in the Home (Aeon Books, 2010) Duncan Barford is suspicious of consensus definitions of reality and has focused his attention instead on magick and spiritual development.
With his friend and colleague, the spiritual teacher and writer Alan Chapman, Duncan co-founded The Baptist’s Head, a revolutionary occult website that revived the Western magical tradition through an innovative blend of contemporary magick and hardcore spiritual practice. A detailed record of this work is presented in the trilogy of co-authored books The Blood of the Saints, The Urn and A Desert of Roses (Heptarchia, 2009-10).
Occult Experiments in the Home is a personal project and reflects Duncan’s continuing interest in unusual experiences, states of consciousness, and their significance to our understanding of everyday reality.
