Phil Hine

Magic is a doorway through which we step into mystery, wildness, and immanence. We live in a world subject to extensive and seemingly, all-embracing systems of social and personal control that continually feed us the lie that we are each alone, helpless, and powerless to effect change. Magic is about change. Changing your circumstances so that you strive to live according to a developing sense of personal responsibility; that you can effect change around you if you choose; that we are not helpless cogs in some clockwork universe. All acts of personal/collective liberation are magical acts. Magic leads us into exhilaration and ecstasy; into insight and understanding; into changing ourselves and the world in which we participate. Through magic we may come to explore the possibilities of freedom.

Through magic we may come to explore the possibilities of freedom.

What is The Pseudonomicon? It's Cthulhu Mythos. It's Cthulhu Madness! It's a Cthulhu Pathworking!! First published in a very limited edition in 1994, and reprinted only once since, The Pseudonomicon has been extremely difficult to find. By special arrangement with Dagon Productions, we have brought it back in this revised and expanded edition. Of The Pseudonomicon the author says: "Disclaimer: It is generally agreed by experienced magicians that working with the Cthulhu Mythos is dangerous due to the high risk of obsession, personality disintegration or infestation by parasitic shells. Whilst giving this opinion due consideration, I have decided to release this material since, before the throne of Azathoth, questions of who is sane and who is mad become inconsequential." and: "Each god brings its own madness. To know the god -- to be accepted by it, to feel its mysteries -- well you have to let that madness wash over you, and through you. This isn't in the books of magic. Why? For one thing, it's all too easily forgotten, and for an other, you have to find it out for yourself. And for those who would sanitise magic, whitening out the wildness with explanations borrowed from pop psychology or science -- well, madness is something that we still fear -- the great taboo. So why did I choose Cthulhu -- High Priest of the Great Old Ones -- lying dreaming "death's dream" in the sunken city, forgotten through layers of time and water? It sounds so simple to say that I merely heard his "call" -- but I did. Gods do not, generally, have a lot to say, but what they do say, is worth listening to". With a new Introduction and a completely new, and greatly expanded section on Banishing.

La Magie du Mythe de Cthulhu. Qu'est-ce que le Pseudonomicon ? C'est le mythe de Cthulhu. C'est de la Magie Lovecraftienne! Publié pour la première fois en 1994 dans une édition très limitée, et réimprimé une seule fois depuis, Le Pseudonomicon fut extrêmement difficile à trouver. Par arrangement spécial avec Dagon Productions et The Original Falcon Press, nous l'avons ramené dans cette édition révisée et augmentée en langue française. Du Pseudonomicon, l'auteur indique: Il est généralement admis par les magiciens expérimentés que de travailler avec le Mythe de Cthulhu est dangereux en rai¬son du risque élevé d'obsession, de désintégration de la person¬nalité ou d'infestation par des coques parasites. Tout en tenant dûment compte de cet avis, j'ai décidé de publier ce matériel car, devant le trône d'Azathoth, les questions à savoir qui est sain d'esprit et qui est fou deviennent sans importance. Chaque dieu apporte sa propre démence. Pour connaître le dieu-pour être accepté par lui et ressentir ses mystères-il faut alors laisser cette folie vous submerger et vous pénétrer. Ceci ne figure pas dans les vulgaires livres de magie, pourquoi? Car d'une part, c'est trop facilement oublié, et aussi, parce que vous devez le découvrir par vous-même. Et ceux qui voudraient assainir la magie, purifier la nature sauvage d'explications empruntées à la psycho-pop ou à la science-sachez que la folie est quelque chose que nous craignons toujours-le grand tabou. Alors pourquoi ai-je choisi Cthulhu? Grand Prêtre des Grands Anciens-gisant en rêvant le rêve de la mort dans la ville engloutie, oublié à travers des couches de temps et d'eau. Cela semble si simple de dire que j'ai simplement entendu son appel-mais c'est ce qui s'est produit. Les dieux n'ont pas, en temps normal, grand-chose à dire, mais ce qu'ils disent vaut la peine d'être entendu...

La Magie du Mythe de Cthulhu

Le Pseudonomicon

Rodney Orpheus

A fascinating glimpse into the pagan counterculture, from the "Satanic Panic" to "occulture." Delinquent Elementals: The Very Best of Pagan News collects some of the finest articles, news reports, interviews, and humor that appeared in this singular publication, providing a fascinating glimpse into the pagan counterculture. It charts the historical timeline of the Satanic Panic scandal of the late 1980s, documents previously uncollected information, and provides a wide selection of practical knowledge and insight into occult practice. It reveals how occult practitioners interacted with the wider culture--bringing about what is now termed "occulture" the intersection of esoteric themes with popular culture, political activism, and the struggle for LGBTQ rights and recognition. Wonderfully unpretentious and absurdly funny, this is the definitive guide to the magazine that redefined the nature of late-twentieth century occultism.
