RU154: CARL ABRAHAMSSON ON THEE TEMPLE OV PSYCHICK YOUTH (TOPY) OCCULTURE
The occultural methods and mutations of Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth (TOPY) have left a legacy that continues to inspire. In this talk, I look back at my time working (1986-1991) with TOPYSCAN and TOPY Europe in collaboration with TOPYUK and TOPYUS. It was a magical, ultra-creative time that taught me many things as well as allowed me to share my own findings with others. TOPY was a unique experiment in occulture, and one that still resonates today. Join me for an illuminating ride through sigil magic, roto-rites, underground publishing, and much more.

RU153: STEVE DEE ON SYSTEMIC PSYCHOTHERAPY, NHS, CHAOS MAGIC, GNOSTICISM, ART, RELIGION
Steve Dee is a Systemic Psychotherapist working in the NHS within the field of mental health social work. He is the author of A Gnostic’s Progress: Magic and the Path of Awakening and The Heretic’s Journey: Spiritual Freethinking for Difficult Times. He is also the co-author (with Julian Vayne) of the book Chaos Craft. After a near miss with the Anglican Priesthood, Steve focused his energies on more occult pursuits that have included work within the east/west tantra group AMOOKOS and the Chaos Magic current. His current interest in Gnosticism represents an attempt to explore the way in which joys of heretical freethinking can be harnessed for the benefit of all.
He currently blogs over at : https://theblogofbaphomet.com

What exactly is Magical Realism? In this lecture I look at the benefits of gentle dislocation and other literary/magical techniques. How does it compete in our world of harsh memetic manipulations?
