Genesis Breyer P-Orridge: Write Your Own Code

Genesis Breyer P-Orridge: Write Your Own Code. A film by Carl Abrahamsson, Sweden, 2021, 47 mins.

As Genesis and I were working on the documentary film “Change Itself” (released in 2016), we agreed that it would be great to also have Genesis reading poetry in the film. One clip was eventually used. “Write Your Own Code” contains all of the material we shot in Oslo, Norway, 2014. These sessions also became the creative ignition for the spoken word album we made together in 2017, and which was released in 2019 by Ideal Recordings: “Loyalty Does Not End With Death.” I have left the casual tone of the sessions, including some mishaps, as untouched as possible. Write Your Own Code! – Carl Abrahamsson, 2021

“Up, Up O Ye Gods!” – Hermeticism as a Path for Modern Seekers

Popular voice of esoteric ideas Mitch Horowitz (“solid gold”—David Lynch) explores the late-ancient Greek-Egyptian philosophy of Hermeticism and considers how the esoteric fragments of Ancient Egypt hold meaning for spiritual seekers today. Mitch also looks at the parallel insights between Hermeticism and mind-power metaphysics as well as the openings in today’s theoretical sciences, including multiple realities, inter-dimensionality, and UFO studies.

Mitch Horowitz is a historian of alternative spirituality and one of today’s most literate voices of esoterica, mysticism, and the occult. Mitch is a writer-in-residence at the New York Public Library, lecturer-in-residence at the Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles, and a PEN Award-winning historian whose books include Occult America; One Simple Idea: How Positive Thinking Reshaped Modern Life; and The Miracle Club. The Washington Post says Mitch “treats esoteric ideas and movements with an even-handed intellectual studiousness that is too often lost in today’s raised-voice discussions.” The Chinese government has censored his work.

Secrecy Exposed! – On the Necessity of Psychic Stigma and Dynamic Darkness in Occultism

In an enforced exhibitionism frenzy like our social media-driven culture, we need to revamp and revitalize the concept of secrecy. Much of the allure and power of the traditionally “occult” lay in it literally being hidden away from general exposure and popular dissolution. But what happens when all the black cats are suddenly out of the proverbial bag? And, more relevantly this evening, what happens when we put them all back in the bag, shake hands, and seal our lips forever more?

Carl Abrahamsson is a Swedish author, specializing in Occulture and Magico-anthropology. His books include Reasonances (2014), Occulture (2018), The Devil’s Footprint (2020), Sacred Intent (2020), Different People (2021), and Anton LaVey and the Church of Satan (forthcoming from Inner Traditions, 2022). He is also the editor and publisher of the highly renowned anthologies in The Fenris Wolf series. https://www.carlabrahamsson.com

The Psychoanalysis, Art & the Occult series of events, curated by Dr. Vanessa Sinclair and Carl Abrahamsson, is dedicated to exploring the intersections and integration of psychoanalytic theory, the creative arts, occult practices, and folk magic traditions. By inviting psychoanalysts, philosophers, artists, writers, and occult practitioners from a variety of theoretical orientations and worldviews to discuss their work, personal experiences, and areas of research interest with one another, dialogue is opened up between practitioners in fields of study that traditionally rarely engage with one another though often operate in similar and complementary ways.

New album & video for Vanessa and Pete Murphy

Vanessa Sinclair & Pete Murphy: “The Cutting Up of Love and Language”

https://vanessasinclairpetemurphy.bandcamp.com/album/the-cutting-up-of-love-and-language

A new collaboration from American cut-up poet Vanessa Sinclair and British musician Pete Murphy. A deep dive into sizzling hot psychic pools of erotic chaos and disrupted narratives. Free jazz poetry, ferocious fusion fission, electronic beatnik tenderness mixed with dark dungeon cruelties; evaporating on the thin stained glass windows of oglers and ogres, of voyeurs and exhibitionists, of pushes and pulls alike. The soundtrack of relentless submissions to random meetings and catapulting destinies; forcing the hands of chance to provide that well-needed, over-heated release.

Video for “Bisexual Expression”:

A brand new book!

Vanessa and I have a new book out: “It’s Magic Monday Every Day of the Week.” An inspiring anthology of texts & images about our magical practice & philosophy. It’s AMAZING and has over 100 colour photos, collages and cut-ups!

“In 2020, psychoanalyst-artist Vanessa Sinclair & author Carl Abrahamsson decided to create an online presence specifically for their magical practice & philosophy. This led to a weekly transmission aptly called “Magic Monday.”

This book sums up the first year of these writings, photos, poems, collages, and cut-ups. In an inspiring tour-de-force for all senses, Sinclair & Abrahamsson touch upon ritual, runes, psychedelics, sex, tarot, individuation, ancestor worship, talismania, the third mind method of Brion Gysin & William S Burroughs, creating sigils, shamanism, the Mega Golem, necromancy & glitchcraft, dealing with death & loss, making charged art, time travel, biospheric morals, and much more… The book also contains more than one hundred colour photographs and collages.

It’s Magic Monday Every Day of the Week is a book that will keep intriguing and inspiring you to experiment freely, and to develop as a human being. With an attitude of cutting up and rearranging the givens – of disrupting the narrative – you can change more things in life than you’ve ever dreamt of.

Sinclair & Abrahamsson share their own intimate, magical experiences and show you how easy it can actually be to take charge and write your own story.

266 pages, full colour, 6 x 9”. Available as paperback, hardback and e-book. Order from the Amazon site that’s closest to you to save on postage.
