Last May, Alan Chapman and I visited four of Brighton & Hove’s seventy-two entrances into hell (as featured in previous articles on this site) to make a short film of our exploits. At Daffivisionomy we performed for the first time our ritual for opening hellmouths and encountered a psychotic spirit. At Chesney Peck we employed [...]

The Nidana Cards: A Buddhist Oracle
Posted in Astral, Consensus Reality, tagged Buddhism, causation, dependent co-arising, divination, nidana, oracle, qaballah, tarot on March 5, 2012 | 12 Comments »
Bhikkhu Parasamgate dropped by a few days ago. He’s a self-styled monk, whom I hadn’t seen in a while. He brings a bag, a bedroll, and goes around the country staying with people – usually for about a couple of weeks. He’s very low-maintenance. Provide him with access to a bathroom, kitchen, and a space [...]
The Vision of PAZ (Aethyr 4)
Posted in Astral, tagged aethyr, lucid dream on January 30, 2012 | 5 Comments »
There comes over me the ‘buzzing’ state that heralds an out-of-body experience, but although it fails to develop, neither does it fully recede. It settles into a pulsing rhythm, quite unpleasant, but I decide to put up with it. My body is guided to a specific place, as if I were floating feet-first. This state [...]

The Visions of DEO, MAZ and LIT (Aethyrs 7 through 5)
Posted in Astral, tagged aethyr, dreaming, Enochian magick, lucid dream on November 27, 2011 | 4 Comments »
The visions of the aethyrs are becoming subtler, harder to attain, and yet – surprisingly – more mundane and personal, as I approach the end of this five-year working. (Or has it been even longer?) The Vision of DEO (Aethyr 7) I’d not had a lucid dream in ages, so this working was an experiment: [...]
The Vision of ZID (Aethyr 8)
Posted in Astral, tagged aethyr, Enochian magick on September 26, 2011 | 2 Comments »
I am in my parents’ garden when I realise that I am dreaming, so I call to the sky for admittance to the aethyr. The scene fades. I wake. But afterwards appears a vast and sunlit white building. As I watch, scratched into the concrete of its walls, writing appears: numbers, fractions, percentages – all [...]
The Mozamo Working

9th September, 2011. The temple space was Alan’s empty flat in Crouch End. The removal men had cleared it that morning because Alan and his wife were moving to Wales. We put on our robes and burned incense of Abramelin. We had a ouija board and an iPad running a browser. I banished the space [...]
The Vision of ZIP (Aethyr 9)
Posted in Astral, tagged aethyr, Archangel Michael, Enochian magick, lucid dream on September 12, 2011 | 8 Comments »
I am having a non-lucid dream that my bed is in the office at my place of work. I have an appointment with Sally, to train her in some software I have written. She turns out to be quite personable, but I realise I’m wearing only pyjamas and wonder if they’re clean. I mention this [...]
An Exercise in Remote Viewing
Posted in Astral, tagged dutch doll, Finedon, remote viewing on July 29, 2011 | 9 Comments »
Not that I’m dreaming for a second this is a scientific study, but a common technique for assessment of remote viewing sessions is to show to an independent witness an image of the actual target mixed with three random images. So here those images are, and this is an invitation, dear reader, for you to [...]
The Vision of ZAX (Aethyr 10)

I am walking on grass, approaching the house where I go on retreat, and I’m full of joy to be back. The feeling that I have come home is so strong that I become conscious. There is a huge field, ringed by trees. I call up at the sky, ‘I wish to scry ZAX, the [...]
