JOHN DEE

(We gotta talk about Paracelcus before this)

Occultist, Alchemist, Mathematician, Antiquarian, Humanist, Wife-swapper, Court Magician to Queen Elizabeth I, and quite possibly the most educated person alive at the time, John Dee represents the pinnacle of Renaissance magic and learning. He is a figure so influential, he threatens to take over an introductory text like this one.

Where other occultists languish under a lack of attention from academics, Dee is the oppos...

It is May 29th, 1453. You are Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror, and you have just taken the city of Constantinople. You’ve been scaring the daylights out of the Christian world for a while now, but now you’ve really gone and done it. Your little jaunt through Asia Minor is causing a bunch of Greek theologians to pull up and run further west into Europe. The Catholic Church already has their hands full with a whole mess of internal conflicts. You wonder how they...

Way of the Shadow Wolves - 14/Jan/2023

Alleged rapist and human trafficker, cop groupie, washed-up action movie star, and personal friend to Vladimir Putin, the paradox of Steven Segal is how he manages to stick around despite being –by damn near every account– a universally unpleasant vacuum of charisma. I could go on, but I feel that no introduction of Steven would be complete without the tale of the headlock.

In spirit, we all know Steven Segal. You met him in elementary school, when he told you he has every black belt. You met him in college when you tricked him into smoking a bag of oregano. You met him at Christmas, when he told a racist joke that nobody laughed at.

NEOPLATONISM - DEC/27/2022

A QUICK GUIDE TO NEOPLATONISM

The Neoplatonists were a school of Greek philosophers around 250 AD who drew upon Platonic and Neopythagorean philosophy to talk about God. While they were not magicians in and of themselves, their ideas about the nature of God and reality would be influential for everyone from the church fathers to jewish mystics to Islamic polymaths.
