Five of Swords Esoteric Magazine, a free to view digital project that explored the more abstract ideas at the bleeding edge of modern occultism, has recently been put on permanent hold. While this passing may be generally ignored, those who either contributed or devoured the articles held within the three published issues will no doubt … Continue reading These Viral Gods
Chaos Magick
Of Blood And Titles
Originally created back in March of 2019, this particular article never found a home. That is perhaps unsurprising, as it definitely lacks the sweeping range and sour narrative of my successfully published pieces. Its tighter focus on a single magickal operation may still prove of some use to those who are looking to escape from … Continue reading Of Blood And Titles
Esoteric Accelerationist Manifesto
This unapologetically adversarial article will no doubt prove highly divisive, and Five of Swords Esoteric Magazine should be applauded for accepting a submission that larger publications would likely never touch. As for why this manifesto even exists, it is the result of witnessing decades of both stagnation and cannibalisation within the Occult and Neopagan movements. … Continue reading Esoteric Accelerationist Manifesto
The Subtle Sigil
My second article to feature in Five of Swords Esoteric Magazine is an exploration of the procedural dogma that plagues sigil creation in the post chaos era. Offered alongside the work of a number of other bleeding edge occult authors for free in PDF format via social media platforms around the start of October 2019, … Continue reading The Subtle Sigil

Approaching Lilith was presented for subscribers only, while the much more general prequel Understanding Lilith … Continue reading Approaching Lilith

Understanding Lilith was presented free to view, while the much more in depth sequel, … Continue reading Understanding Lilith
Rebellious Kisses
The following article was first published in the winter 2016 edition of Pagan Dawn magazine, and is designed to be a short evaluation of the importance of the godform Lilith to the human psyche. It highlights the various social accretions that she has acquired over the last few thousand years, everything from feminist icon to transgender crusader, … Continue reading Rebellious Kisses
Cities Of Life And Death
The following article was first published back in 2013, in volume two of the excellent Conjure Codex series from Hadean Press. While my writing had previously appeared on a number of smaller websites, it was the first work of mine to be printed in an actual physical anthology. I am still rather fond of it, … Continue reading Cities Of Life And Death
