Sometimes my favourite part of these books are the additions that previous keepers have added to them, much like the purple stamp on the first page.

A real pleasure to be asked along to THE HAND OF SATAN IN THE SEA OF DARKNESS on Sunday 20th April in London. A weekend of deeply involved music and experimental sound with some artists I like a lot.
I will be doing my first ever in person pop-up in the day between 2pm and 6pm.

Unearthed from the hands of a very dusty mage - SECRETS OF THE OCCULT by C.A Burland. A 1972 compendium absolutely rammed with killer full colour photographs, illustrations and reference material.
I love this kind of book. One of those things you find as a kid and alters your brain chemistry.

Currently reading. Painstakingly evidenced account of how intensely messy all of this lot were - documents, letters and other communications are all there. Genuinely hilarious in a lot of places. Blythe Road chapter is 😘👌

God fucking damn it. I love you David Lynch. Getting to share Mulholland Drive with engaged and open minded film students is one of the great privileges of my life. Devastated. A devastating loss for the freaks and dreamers.

A few more bits from yesterday's happenings.
Jim - the horse I was lucky enough to carry - was passed onto James by a Whitstable Hoodener who originally created it in the 1970s. More pics of Jim in the next post.
Looking a bit wooden in that video - first time nerves.

A day of recording wassailing, hoodening and guising.
Endless thanks to James Frost and all of the Trudgepig performers for their hospitality and for letting me carry Jim, a 1970s hooden horse, for the day- I now have arms of steel.

Something a little different. A lot of 6 vintage copies of THE ROSICRUCIAN DIGEST - editions ranging between the years 1956 and 1975.
The copies have articles on subjects such as the philosophers stone, cosmic consciousness, hermetic secrets and much more in the field of mysticism.
