After many requests, I'm releasing the prologue of Liber Malorum to anyone who'd like to read it. You can download it here.

Hopefully this gives you a taste of what the book is about and some of the directions it heads in.

Let me know how you get on with it by commenting here or by sending me a message.

Love and apples,

Sean

I was really chuffed to see Amazon has made Liber Malorum the "perfect partner" to the Illuminatus Trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea. Wow! The Illuminatus Trilogy is my all-time favourite book!

Snoopy Dance!

Someone at Amazon must have read Liber Malorum and really got into it. I just wish they'd got around to stocking it! Any day now...

David Rankine, author of many fine books including Becoming Magick, Climbing the Tree Of Life and Practical Planetary Magick (co-authored with the lovely Sorita D'Este) has written a very positive review of Liber Malorum.

Here's an excerpt of it:

Bernadette (or burn many if they are mounting up faster than your ability to pay them) is the patsy, the eye of reason exposed to the horned serpent selling sex, drugs, magick and music from the garden stall. She is the straight woman providing mundane rationality as a piece of malleable plasticine for the plethora of authors to tease into bizarre and fantastic shapes. This book is a literary psychedelic with special guest appearances from the good, the bad and the ugly.

I enjoyed this book and seriously suggest you give it a try.

Read the rest of the review on the the Avalonia website.

Go on.

What ho!

I just saw that the wonderful people at Freedom Press have published a review of Liber Malorum in their issue dated February 16th.

The reviewer writes:

The stories and poems of Liber Malorum quest variously into the realms of magic, witchcraft, anarchism, psychedelic drugs and sex. There are spiritual uprisings in the desert, rebellions in the groves and woods, pirates, criminals, faerie huggers, subversives queering from police cells, tricksters and shape shifters. Keep your eyes out too for the myriad of nuances, messages and codes throughout. This is the stuff of the underground cult classic.

I'm so chuffed it has been enjoyed! Read the full review here.

With that high note, I'm looking for other places to have Liber Malorum reviewed. If you can think of any, please let me know.

Hugs to all from Sean!

Yesterday was fantastic - I'm spending the Easter few days in and around Brighton, and when I heard that the White Owl posse was hosting a sweat lodge, I went along. I've had a sweat with this crew before, and it was intense. This time around, I went in feeling much more grounded and managed to hold my ground even during the most vicious and hot rounds.

For anyone who hasn't been to a sweat lodge, it is a kind of ceremonial sauna in which there are several rounds of ceremonial sweating. Basically rocks are heated on the fire, brought in to the blessed enclosed space and then splashed with water. It can get very hot in there! The more grounded I'm feeling, the more bearable the heat is though it is always a challenge in one way or another.

Yesterday's lodge was incredibly beautiful and cleansing. It's as if so many of my angsts and bothers are stored in my pores and there's nothing like a good old sweat to banish them. It's like a wicked magical cleansing and purifying ceremonial and I am feeling fantastic now! So next time you give me a call and I invite you to come get sweaty, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Sweaty hugs to all from Sean
