Babalon Rising Next week, starting on June 6, I’ll be in French Lick, Indiana, at the Babalon Rising festival. As with most festivals, there will be lots of music, rituals, dancing, bonfires and workshops. I’ll be giving three workshops, one on a form of numerology most people don’t know about (hint: it’s Kabalistic), one on [...]
One of the questions I often receive is a request for contact with an occult group, order, coven, etc. As a policy, I don’t recommend such organizations.

I have two posts scheduled to appear while I’m giving workshops. One is on Theorems of Magick, and one is on Theorems of Sex [...]
Yes, I know the name sounds like something from a bad porno film. In actuality, French Lick, Indiana, is a real town. It is the home town of NBA great Larry Bird. People visiting the casinos there included boxer Joe Lewis and gangster Al Capone. Franklin D. Roosevelt announced his intention to run for President here. [...]
It almost always happens that when I go to any event, someone tells me they’d like to write a book. Sometimes their approach is one of looking for advice.
