Sorting through my kid's old drawings. Some of them are priceless, such as this man shouting 'Gargoyles!' as he is about to be hit by a falling gargoyle...

We're organising this gig in Leeds on the 28th Nov. A weird mix of spirited dungeon synth, resonating metal, and cosmic medievalism (from my side project Dark Valley). Price on a sliding scale and BYOB. It's a small DIY venue, so DM me for the address!

I think this is destined to be a controversial article, but we should also critically and soberly think about the political entanglements in any field of study we engage with. Julius Strube's 'Esotericism, the New Right, and Academic Scholarship', is open access in Aries: brill.com/view/journal...
