moderator: Trevor Blake “At every turn in its thought, society will find us - waiting.” - Bureau of Surrealist Research. Vehemently not an occultist, Trevor Blake (aka Onan Canobite) sure spends a lot of time around them. A SubGenius member in good standing since 1982 and editor of OVO (home of Hakim Bey’s earliest writings), Blake gives voice to outsiders, continually pushing the artistic envelope and teaching you things you’d rather not know. His varied interests include transgressive art, gender dynamics and the alternative realities of the alleged “insane.“
panelists: Nick Pell A recent addition to the occult scene, Nick Pell has already inspired his share of controversy. In a few short years he has come out of obscurity to become the Editor-in-Chief of Key64.net, editor for Immanion Press, spokesmodel for the Magicians of Bowlbetterology, a rogue Director of Neurocam International- PDX a frequent guest on Occulterati and a mastermind behind the esoZone event. An eclectic and experimental practitioner, Pell has worked with Enochian, witchcraft, TOPY magick and Zos Kia Cultus. But who the hell is this guy and who does he think he is? Pell will welcome participants to esoZone, as well as perform with the Foolish People occult theatre troupe.
Lupa (lupabitch) Lupa possesses a prodigious knowledge of atavistic magic
and the mysterious “other people” that populate the myths of all lands- and her books Fang and Fur, Blood and Bone: A Primal Guide to Animal Magic and A Field Guide to Otherkin reflect that.
An eclectic and experimental practitioner (with a heavy emphasis on that word), she also maintains thegreenwolf and kinkmagic with her mate Taylor Ellwood, with whom she is currently at work on Kink Magic: Sex Magic Beyond Vanilla (November 2007).
Bill Whitcomb Bill Whitcomb was born a typical child of the 20th century until contracting Semiotic fever, an imaginary disease characterized by oneirodynia, mythopoetic swelling, and hermeneutic convulsions, resulting in chronic obsession with symbols and language. Some claim that after being bitten by a wide variety of non-radioactive creatures and exposure to extra-terrestrial solar rays, Whitcomb exhibited a seemingly complete lack of paranormal abilities, though there is little proof of this assertion. Whitcomb is best known for his books on magical symbolism and practices, The Magician’s Companion and The Magician’s Reflection, both published by Llewellyn Publications. Bill Whitcomb is believed to be living in the Pacific Northwest United States where he researches the practices of non-existent secret societies. He is currently at work on a book that will unite the mysteries of Neuro-Linguistic Programming with Raja yoga.
Wes Unruh Wes Unruh (or just “Wu”), the mastermind behind the Unquiet Mind and Philip K. Nixon sonic terrorism projects, has been lauded as the Brion Gysin of his time. His ground breaking book Metamagical Graffiti explores the cut-up method, modern mythology, and the creation of symbol systems. He is currently hard at work in the corporate magick salt mines of Troy, New York and was instrumental in the creation of esoZone and its network of agents.
Trevor: How does the study of magic benefit the common good? Sciences today have evolved from certain studies of magic.
Wes: Without magickal studies we would have no encryption today. Codes, cyphers turned into
Bill: Not sure if magic will turn into something as alchemy-> chemistry. Certainly has influenced art, literature, heavily influenced psychology.
Lupa: Magic(k) does not exist in a bubble. Magic study into mainstream in the past has jumped during enlightenment, age of reason. Constant transfer of information from psycholoy, memetics and occultism.
