Song Of Meri-Khem - A Pilgrim's Journey

Judith Page

isbn 978-1869928-99-5 £9.99

Order this book


In writing this poem I have attempted to cut through so much of what we now
think of as Ancient Egypt, and only the bare bones will remain. Symbolic
figureheads such as Osiris and Amon will be discussed, but not elevated, and
favoured centres of apparent importance or popularity will be by-passed.
This will not be a book for those who wish to play tourist, dropping off
here for a quick sensation, or stopping there for an imagined photo-shoot,
it will be an experience for all those who wish to embrace the origin and
notion of Set, and Set's values.

In recording the mythical life of Set, we have applauded him. The strength
and warmth of his intellect demand similar warmth in his dramatic
performance throughout ancient Egyptian history. To adopt an attitude of
detachment, particularly towards the ancient and unknown, can bar from sight
those many scenes glimpsed by the historian who approaches the role of
reconstructing an era with sympathy, insight and understanding. Neither the
truth nor the equilibrium of scholarship is disturbed by controlled
imagination and honest praise of this much-maligned Egyptian god.
We are portraying the mythological concept and personality of Set not in
order to worship a hero, but to recognise him as a leader and a hero. Set
strives to take his stand against 5,000 years of a 'drift of history' with
the introduction of Osirion and Amonite tradition, and a preconditioning
before being replaced by Christianity.


The author: judith page was born in sydney, australia. she graduated from the chelsea
school of art in london, and is a respected artist and painter in esoteric
circles, with particular focus on egyptian art.

Music Review : The Sadness of Witches by Skratte

Skratte, the musical project of witch Nathaniel Harris, author of Witcha,
has released a new album. And the Sadness of Witches is a fascinating album
indeed. On one hand it introduces some of the best darkly ambient
electronica I’ve heard for some time, while on the other it preserves
traditional ‘witchcraft ballads’ in a modern form. An interesting balance of
the old and new, past and future. Both however capture the spirit of Nathan’
s conception of Witchcraft perfectly, and the essence of its Arcana seem to
be highlighted both in the contrast between the two forms and their
commonalities. The traditional songs are represented by the paradoxical
ballad The Cruel Sister, which reflects on the unity of light and dark, as
well as the famous Gowdie ballad on shapeshifting, here called In the Devil’
s Name, reconstructed by Graves in The White Goddess, from a traditional
song apparently referred to by the witch Isobel Gowdie in her trial of 1662.
Both these ballads and more are explored in Nathan’s book Witcha.
The modern material includes some of the most haunting electronica and
trippy soundscapes I've heard in a long time. My favourites here are the
Burroughsian Spiritual Assassin and the Sabbatic Your God Is Weak. There are
also some great supporting artists on this album including the fantastic
vocals of the talented Jasmine Deville, which compliment Nathan's sinister
songmanship perfectly.
The tracks contain some powerful expressions from a distinctly Left Hand
Path perspective, and if you have any Christian tendencies whatsoever I
suggest you buy some Gospel instead! However there is no attempt at cheap
sensationalism here, or the deluded ramblings of the juvenile ‘Satanist’,
there is a dark existentialism present in many of the lyrics, albeit a
somewhat pessimistic one at times. Most importantly of all each track has a
profound magical charge to it, a power resides in this music, albeit a
subtle and somewhat distant one. It contains the echoes of something very
dark and mysterious that is well worth exploring...

Pagan Federation Wessex (review)

My amanuensis suggests I write a review even though I was one of PF Wessex four speakers at Glastonbury Town Hall. But as it happens there is a recording of my talk on myspace so you can read and indeed judge for yourself what I have to say about the nature of the important 'Typhonian' magical current. It's more or less as it ended up although of course lacks the accompanying slide show - which included many unusual pictures of Crowley, Grant and indeed material from the Egyptian magical tradition. Part one is viewable on myspace with otherparts on myspace musick. It's just a taster really - a small part of a larger project that i've managed so far to spin out in two books, another on the way and several substantial lectures. It seemed to go down well and there will surely be a few more 'conspirators' at the Omphalos event on 1st July (see below for details).

Personally I think all of the day's speakers would have benefited from some visual aids - some more than others. Gordon Strong spoke very well about a hidden gem of a megalithic site at Stanton Drew but unless you'd been there it was a bit of a closed book. Cassandra Latham repeated the talk 'Who do we serve?' in her usual engaging style. Her title sounding perilously close to the 1940s patriotic film 'In which we serve' - so perhaps there is a link?

Maxine Sanders was the day's headliner and undoubtedly the reason the conference had a full house. Well done Ann, Adrian and the rest of the team for making such a success of that. No surprises that Maxine returned to a subject she has visited before - her love / hate relationship with her former husband and mentor Alex Sanders - co-founder of Alexandrian witchcraft. Again I must declare an interest as in my day job the publisher of her forthcoming autobiography Fire Child: the Life and Magic of Maxine Sanders - 'Witch Queen'. Maxine regalled us with many interesting and bitter-sweet anecdotes. She also took time out to acknowledge the role of gay men and women in wicca - where unlike some, she has absolutely no problem. She also spoke about her belief that wiccan initiation was for adults and how in the upbringing of her own children - she had let them go their own way. So much so that when her daughter expressed an interest in learning more about Christianity - she accompanied her to a service of the Liberal Catholic Church and eventually took an active role in their activities. Hence the rumours that Maxine has become a Christian. She would say there is no fundamental reason why a witch should not also be a Christian - in fact 100 years ago it was probably the norm; and indeed still is in some Voodooist and Sabbatic circles. And indeed Crowley himself said it would be churlish of the magician not to invoke JC and YHVH along with all the other gods and goddesses. Of course this approach to the Christian cult is not quite as you will find in the mainstream church - but there again - what do they know about it?

There was a good range of stalls for retail therapy, and the cafe was well organised. Events favourites such as a Mystery play, Wolfshead and Vixen Morris and Inkubus Sukubus provided the evening entertainment. +

Terra Incognita – The Foolish People –

491 Gallery, East London, 31st March/April 1st.
by Skratte

This March ‘Skratte’ were lucky enough to be invited by the Masque Noir ritual performers to participate in the Foolish People’s event ‘Terra Incognita’ in our role as practicing witches. Having heard all kinds of intriguing things about the Foolish People we were keen to accept this invitation and so packed our bags and left our secret location in the deserts of Avon and headed up to East London’s 491 gallery, where the party and play were taking place. Since our own role was to add power to the closing ritual, rather than as actors or musicians in this instance, our experience of the event was somewhat in between performer and observer. Thus we can tell you that the Foolish People were a great pleasure to work alongside and deserve heartfelt congratulations and recognition for the incredible amount of work that went into making this event happen. As audience, we offer these same congratulations in that we did indeed come away feeling like our heads had been turned inside out by about 1500 mics of L.S.D., despite the fact that we made the decision to remain completely sane and sober in order to know what we had really seen and what we had not. (We are glad that we did this, even though we are nevertheless still unsure as to exactly what we experienced at some points). All the cast were brilliant. Every one of them possessed their own unique star quality, which under the (sometimes brutal) direction of Mr. Harrigan were truly allowed to shine forth. There were also some fine musicians to entertain us, some incidental and others a part of the story, who would be well worth the travel to experience all on their own.
So as not to ruin things for anyone should there ever be a chance to see a repeat performance, we will not tell you too much about the plot of the play and its unfoldings. What we will say is that the crew all made great use of the space available to them, with the audience following characters from room to room as the tale took them from one place to another- although as one spirit pointed out to us as we passed them on our way, “You don’t have to go with them, you know…” Since different parts of the play were often unfolding in different parts of the venue at the same time not everyone will have the whole picture as to what the plot is anyway. Since there was no stage to divide the actors from the audience, it was a lot more like entering a different dimension than it was going to see a play at any normal theatre. We found ourselves quite at home, surrounded by spirits/figments of the main characters fracturing psyche/heightened consciousness. At times we were not even sure as to whether we had been sucked into the play and become ‘symptoms’ of their unsanity ourselves. At other times, we were fairly certain that we had been- which was a more than unsettling experience.
Observing the audience itself as much as the play offered another level of entertainment. Particularly memorable was to have seen their reactions to the very first spirit manifestation, a genuinely dark and disturbing figure that appeared seemingly from nowhere- thanks to some very clever distraction techniques?- and the fear on the faces of those he approached and interacted with. I suspect that some of them went away with their perceptions of ‘reality’ permanently altered. In a good way. We hope.
The Masque Noir themselves had their own contained space, within which they worked a continuous ritual creating a vortex through which further manifestations may enter our dimension. This was achieved through their own adoption of spirit personas, acting ‘as if’ until entering a generally prelingual condition and displaying some truly phaerie like behaviour- or perhaps even the behaviour of poltergeist, since they were both creative, destructive, quiescent and excitable by turns. One spirit was so badly behaved that we were given no choice but to beat them into submission with our walking stick- the smashed pieces of which were then quickly stolen by other spirits and added to the collaged sigil representing the vortex. That we are not normally aggressive in this manner, and that the fellow whose poltergeist behaviour had so provoked us showed no bruising or harm once leaving trance, is testament to the extremely bizarre atmosphere of this event.
We would also like to congratulate the 491 Gallery itself for playing such wonderful hosts, and for having the courage to allow an event such as this to happen in the very home within which they live. It was a highly challenging event. Blessings upon them all.
Those who were not in attendance have truly missed out on a uniquely mind bending experience. Shame on you. Make sure you catch the next one.

Date

Speaker & Topic

 
9th June Experiencing Seidr: Trance Oracle in Northern Tradition
Katie Gerrard

9th June (Saturday) 1 – 6pm £22 in advance

Within Norse literature, the term seidr refers to acts of witchcraft and cunning craft. Within modern paganism it has been described as a Northern Tradition shamanism, and as the intuitive magic of heathenry. This workshop will use both primary and secondary descriptions of seidr, combined with personal experience, in order to explore the different aspects of practices referred to as seidr. In particular, the day will focus on the High Seat rite, which is inspired by the Greenland Sagas. The workshop will finish with an example of a High Seat rite where a seer will enter the underworld through a trance in order to converse with the ancestors and answer questions from the room. Due to the high energy nature of this rite, the workshop should only be attended if you feel you have the experience and health to work with trance techniques.

Katie Gerrard is a longstanding Wiccan high priestess who has been studying seidr both practically and academically for nine years. She has given several talks on the subject over the last four years, and runs a practical seidr group based in North London.

Jung and the Occult: Between Archetypes and Spirits
Simon Thomas

14th June (Thursday) 7.15 for 7.30pm start £5

The therapeutic psychology of Carl Jung emerged from fin-de-siècle Europe, a culture rife with spiritualism, mesmerism and magnetism. In his early career, Jung himself researched spiritualism through his work with an apparently mediumistic cousin, Helene Preiswerk. Such experimental contexts have marked the writing of post-Jungian authors such as Charet, Goodheart and Zumstein-Preiswerk. Against the backdrop of Jung’s “spirit hypothesis” of the archetypes, Simon Thomas will revisit the key debates thrown up by such studies, illustrating his discussion with a selection of clinical dream material that amplifies the uncanny terrain of this topic. This lecture will argue for an “occult fantasy” of post-Jungian therapeutic space, where there is said to be formed an interface between the estranged worlds of clinical psychology and occultism. This is done by evoking depth psychology as a practice in which the boundar! y between the so-called “natural” and “supernatural” realm is traversed, and in which the professional threshold insulating “clinical” process from “paranormal” is challenged. Simon Thomas is a Ph.D. scholar at the Institute of Germanic and Romance Studies, University of London, working on the “schizopoetics” of the Romantic Swabian poet, Friedrich Holderlein (1770–1843); his work draws on a background in European philosophy, poetry and Jungian psychology.

Elements & Humours in Herbalism
16th June (Saturday) 12 noon – 5pm

This day explores elemental correspondences of herbs, as grounded in humoural science within the West from its Greek origins. Our aims will be to position the planets using an elemental grid system, to understand “degrees” of the elements, to convey the history of doctrines of the four elements, going into their qualities (hot/cold dry/moist, etc). We will use Galen, Agrippa, Levi and the other greats of Western magic. Practical activity will include making elemental incenses and brews.
