Excuse me madam. Do you have 5 minutes to spare? You want five minutes? Sure, I have five minutes, I have all the time I need. Because I take my time. Whenever I need some time, I take it. Why do you need five minutes sir? Don’t you know you have all the time youContinue reading “Unintentional Time Bandits”

On the run from the US government, imprisoned dozens of times, tax evasion, experimenting with LSD and other psychedelics, pushing the frontier of cryptocurrency technology. John McAfee certainly lived an extraordinary life. I see some similarities with Timothy Leary, but you can draw your own conclusions. In this final interview before his death, McAfee &Continue reading “John McAfee, Timothy Leary & Julian Assange – A world without secrets.”

Is it time for a new dada movement? Are you feeling suffocated by the Neo Nazi Fact Checking Thought Police? Lately the establishment seem to have ramped up their propaganda machine. There could be many reasons for this, all of which I’m not particularly interested in, because ultimately any attention we give them, just feedsContinue reading “#alt DADA”

I don’t believe that I am defined by my personal history. The idea of maintaining a story of who we are seems quite obnoxious. To feel defined by a story, and of course a personal history is a story, is to limit oneself severely. Have you ever wondered why the idea of wanting to feelContinue reading “Is Personal History Limiting You?”

One thing I have noticed about magic, is that it must be needed. And sometimes it’s not enough to just will things to happen. But the purpose of frustration is to showContinue reading “We are closer than you could imagine.”

Parked up in a Tescos car park, we scrambled around inside the car, unfolding large sheets of brown packing paper. It felt like we were doing something wrong, certainly unusual. But who cares? The world has turned upside down. Each time we prepare to embark on a shopping trip, we don our masks like archContinue reading “The setup”

Hook with Warsash Local Nature Reserve. Quite a strange mix of inland woodland, grazing pastures interspersed with tree lines, woodland and wetland habitats, leading down to a shingle shoreline. With views of industrial ship yards and tall chimney stacks. A fascinating place to visit. Plenty of space for walking and contemplating the perpetual clash ofContinue reading “Going to Hook”

A book by James Hillman. But this is not a book review. More so, it’s a question, or an inquiry, into the nature of soul. As Hillman suggests, the soul is not a product of nature or nurture. It is a well established, already formed being, long before it materialises as a physical body. ThisContinue reading “The Soul’s Code”

Every day they go to work with the sole intention of squashing us. They’re not evil or unkind by nature, it’s just that their job demands it of them. It’s not even personal, it’s just their job. And our job is to maintain our magic in the face of all this squashing. Ultimately this battleContinue reading “We are magical beings”
