The Abrahadabra Institute has always been a forward thinking force in the occult world, a distinction that has made it seem completely alien to the rest of the community.  There’s a few exceptions of course for those familiar with how the occult influenced modern science and theory through the ages (Isaac Newton, Paschal Beverly Randolph and Jack Parsons were all occultists).

Math and science have been shoved by the wayside in today’s occult communities. If you’re lucky you’ll at least fall in with the (boring) Rosicrucians or (misogynistic) Freemasons rather than the sweating paranoid and hysterical masses at Godlike Productions. Maybe you’ll find a chapter of the OTO in your area where you’re told to memorize the absurdly overrated LBRP and listen to thelemorons spout “Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole of The Law” as if Ra Hoor Khut is suddenly going to transport you to a magickal Thelemic wonderland if you say it enough.

Well, the emperor has no clothes, and half the world thinks of the occult today as an obscure society of charlatans and paranoid schizophrenics – often with good reason. After all, who wants to be part of a community that seems to rely completely on belief and dogma? Absolutely no one useful to the Great Work, except those who wish to turn the occult into their own branded religious circus. Science and technology is all around us. The world today is run on the back of mathematics and chemistry – once disciplines in the repertoire of any respectable occultist

2467052_com_newtonisaaIsaac Newton thinks you should get a grip on reality

What has occurred over the past 100 years or so has been an incredible disservice to the memory of the great minds who compiled what is slavishly adhered to or misinterpreted by the majority of occult “leaders” in the community. Philosophy, art and poetry have not suffered as badly, but as any serious occultist will tell you, the occult section in any bookstore is usually a waste of time for anyone but the most novice of initiates. We have got to stop being afraid of math, science and technology, or at the very least, begin to throw out the garbage permeating the community – bad superstition masquerading as important occult theory. This will doubtless anger or offend some – I do not care. These people either need to understand why they look like idiots to the rest of the world or they need to find a new line of work.

One of the more ridiculous things that have cropped up lately (mostly thanks to the OTO absolutely not giving a shit) is the Aleister Crowley fan clubs. They never originate anything useful, they just slavishly quote from Crowley’s work and post inane articles on their interpretations of his work or write books deciphering his often horrible logic. Nothing useful is accomplished in all of this, certainly no one ever attempts to correct the man’s flaws….and it flies in the face of Crowley’s own methodology. He was all about burning sacred cows and forging new directions for others to develop further.  Crowley never wanted slavish sheep to follow him, he wanted and needed more people who would challenge the status quo.

By Crowley’s own admission, the OTO is an occult social club. It was never intended to be much more than that. It is tasked with the job of initiating as many new members as may come to its ranks asking to be initiated. It has almost nothing to do with the *Great Work* as defined by western alchemical and mystery traditions generally. Whatever instruction it may (incidentally) provide is limited to what will be met with approval within its precarious pecking order and nothing else. Free thinkers; forward thinkers; solutions-oriented individuals; are on their own just as they have always been with respect to organized religion everywhere.

In this entry we’ll explore some of the applied technology that is being created here at TAI, in celebration of the Techneion’s month. (5, May, Geburah).

The first thing I’ll cover is orgonite.

The process of manipulating orgone (as well as the word itself) was created by Wilhelm Reich, who has the distinction of owning a increasingly terrifying hair-do as time went on.

reich-hair

I was more than a little put off by Reich’s personal life, which seems to be full of some pretty dubious claims and his personal attitude towards women was absolute crap. Despite this, Reich has several interesting toys to offer us. The organite lumps which are made of a composite of crystal and metal shavings are attributed by believers with starkly mystic qualities. Proponents say they will purify energy, clean the water, normalize the environment and all sorts of far-fetched claims – all from a lump of resin packed with crystal and metal. If this all seems a little reminiscent of snake-oil evangelism, you can believe that I was more than a little skeptical myself when I first heard of it a decade ago.

Gatewurm, TAI’s Techneion Magister studied some of Reich’s techniques and models and decided to experiment with a few of the plans. In spring 2012 he brought up the molds (muffin tins and bisected plastic donuts) and the crystals, metal shavings and aesthetically pleasing glitter to put into the fiberglass resin in order to create the orgonite. He explained that he noticed crushed crystal worked a lot better than whole crystals, and that the resin was an important part because it puts pressure on the crystal and metal. I was a little dubious, but the process is fun overall, and no more harmful than a child’s play-dough project in itself.

The end result is a sparkly lump of resin that’s fairly heavy and mostly resembles a paperweight. They’re available online ready-made in many shapes and colors, from very simple to very ornate.

We’re not going to be pretend we know what organite does, exactly. True believers in orgonite and orgone energy that enthusiastically spew any sort of superstitious beliefs about the stuff are annoying at best. Some people think it’s the work of the devil after trying it out, and I am just as put off by that. They are being irrationally harsh. On the other hand they’re idiots so…who cares?  Here’s some of these clown’s more hilarious quotes:

These Orgone Blasters will keep chemtrails from sticking over your home and area…destroys aliens and demons won’t come near them, and they will kill zombies and evil beings!!” – Sherry Shriner, Zombiekiller

129bd57c53f7552f252115abc9847b1b

But Sherry, what are we going to do about The Governer???

Someone was kind of upset Sherry was making all of these claims and made a website (that I will not dignify by reposting here, go google it) that “exposes” Sherry Shriner for the Evil Alien NWO She-Devil she is.  (Rational people may want to shield their eyes for the next excerpt:

“Here is a truth I, YAHUVEH speak forth from Elisabeth Sherrie Elijah. It is Elisabeth that has a Holy Warrior Spirit as David had as a Shepherd Boy, when he battled Goliath. Sherry Shriner is not the grand daughter of King David of old as she claims. In fact Sherry Shriner is a Goliath of evil speaking forth doctrines of devils and secrets revealed to her by satan” – Elisabeth Sherrie Elijah, LARPing as Yahuveh, God of the Zombies.

devil-womanSatan, revealing the secrets of Orgone to Sherry Shriner.  

“Her last name is Shriner, which is the name of an order of Freemasons. She’s obviously a Freemason Quadruple Agent, sent to spread misinformation…..or something.” – Anonymous Internet Whistleblower

Gatewurm writes about orgone’s more terrifying properties.

“Orgonite is a feisty thing. The first lesson every enthusiastic orgonite newbie learns when they cast their first round is to set a piece or two near their bed hoping for enhanced dreaming or something of the like. But what you end up doing is continually waking up in a havoc of hot bursts and freezing sweats like your suffering from some crazy detox until you realize that you need to get that orgonite away from your bedroom immediately, and once you’ve done that everything calms down.

I’m sure that you don’t need to guess why I know this”

gatewurmGatewurm,  Magister of The Abrahadabra Institute  

Whatever you believe, please don’t spend $70 on a chunk of orgonite. Here’s some photos with comments by Gatewurm of the process of creating an orgonite torus. It only costs a few dollars and is very simple to do.

” Fiberglass resin, some mixing bowls, a vice, quarts crystals”

org1

 

“Made smaller quarts fragments with the vice, I wound two 36 loop coil circuits (1 LH, 1 RH) 2 crystals in each coil pointing in the direction of the spin of each coil. The beginning and the end of the coils are soldered together so each coil is continuous “

org2

“Set them into moulds”

org4

“I’ve read that sea salt will clear all information from the crystals so I left them like this overnight” 

org5
“I then add the crystal fragments and the coil assemblies together in the moulds”

org6
“Now I add the fiberglass resin”

org7

“The two halves look like this”

org8

“And then of course light it up by sandwiching some LED’s between the two halves of the Torus moldings”

org10

org11

“Red & White”

“I’ll try a few more colors before I add the actual torus windings, it just seems important to have the elements of color and light implemented into this process”

I’m quite skeptical of any kind of phenomenon.  People get all kinds of weird ideas. I don’t really notice anything unusual about the orgonite lump, except a very light tingling sensation, which may be it. I am considered by most to be hypersensitive to everything. Crystals and metal do have real magnetic properties of course, that can be measured, and crystal is very coherent, which is why it’s used to broadcast an accurate signal in watches.  It’s possible though impossible to verify that these crystal and metal fragments suspended in resin are indeed “attractive” or “slowing” to the theoretical Superlight as Dr. Milewski suggests. Gatewurm goes on to show us what happens when water is frozen in the presence of the orgonite’s field:

“The piezoelectric effect that radiates out from the quarts crystals when they are activated in orgonite can not be measured by any instrument that I know of other than the human body. But quarts crystals and water both have an atomic structure that is tetrahedral, and when water freezes into ice next to an activated orgonite generator, it will produce a snapshot of the piezoelectric radiance frozen in the ice”

There are teams of people who go around planting these little nuggets everywhere – even a group that was trekking across Africa distributing them. They came under scrutiny when they were caught placing them at a hydroelectric dam, but there was nothing to arrest them for except littering. These people believe the nuggets will heal the planet, obviously very passionately so, as it is not easy to trek across Africa. The other camp of course, believes they are doing irreparable harm to the planet.

 

I mentioned Dr. Milewski and his Superlight theory earlier. Who is Dr. Milewski? He’s an inventor and international leader in the field of Advanced Materials, aka that stuff spaceships are made out of, to us laymen. He has a long list of credentials including work at Los Alamos and Exxon.  Today he grows crystal monofilaments for fun and profit in his facility in New Mexico. He’s the guy that coined the term Superlight, and confirms the occultist’s widely held belief that “it’s all the same stuff” 

“SuperLight is the unseen force in nature that has been ignored by science but has been deemed to be real to mystics and metaphysicians for thousands of years. It has been given many different names, all roughly defining an alchemical *prima materia* (first matter) underscoring all forms of matter in the universe.

A Nuous, Chi, Biomagnetic Energy, Wilhelm Reich’s Orgone Energy, Tesler’s Free Earth Energy, Animal Magnetism, Space Energy, Vacuum Energy, and Zero Point Energy, etc. Those who have subtle perception know it is real.” – Dr. Milewski

According to Milewski, gravity phenomenon is caused by Superlight pounding on us from everywhere. The more he goes on to explain how it works, the more hovercrafts seem completely possible.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERANot to be confused with hovercats, which spread nasty satanic chemtrails, apparently.

 

As far as I understand it from how he explains it to us, Superlight is magnetic light, rather than photoelectric light. It is tremendously fast, travelling much faster than conventional light, and has a vibratory frequency way off the charts.  We can observe its effect but we can’t really point to any concrete evidence of it yet, because we don’t have the necessary tools. It’s so fast and so high-frequency that no thing can stop it, not even black holes! Milewski calls black holes “radiant beings of Superlight” which is a pretty awesome description. His interest in creating crystalline fiber mattresses to mimic (theorized) Atlantean crystal sleep chambers for longevity, is intriguing, though admittedly a little *fringe*. It reminds me of the “Wealth Vase” in Feng Shui. Feng Shui is a Chinese Geomancy practice with a truckload of superstition thrown into the mix. The Wealth Vase is a collection of metal, gems and other organic material (like silk) that is supposed to be kept tightly wrapped in a jar or vase and put somewhere out of sight, not to be disturbed.   It is supposed to bring luck and success to the household that keeps it. Feng Shui means Wind/Water, which is a short-form axiom in Feng Shui – “The life force, dispersed by wind, stops at the boundary of water”.  One camp of Feng Shui dismisses all of the imagery/artwork aspect of Feng Shui as rubbish – the other camp insists the imagery (such as the Lo Shu) is very important.

If we are being constantly bombarded by Superlight, would we not have evolved to somehow harness this wonderful energy all by ourselves? Most proponents think so. I think we may still be evolving to better absorb and manipulate this universal energy, assuming it to be real.  I have met a lot of people who seem to just naturally radiate an incredible amount of light and magnetism easy to recognize but very difficult to define. It’s only a matter of testing out those new wings to really get a hang of it. 

Mutational Alchemy is an unexpected internal-alchemy physics that may be on the cutting edge of teaching us how to harness Superlight, since it seems more relevant to macrocosmic energy fluxes than to more traditional bio-energy fluxes such as *kundalini*, *prana* or even *chi*. Its progress has been a laborious one over the past few thousand years since our understanding of the external world has typically hindered our ability to evolve a more scientific grasp of the internal one. But the age of *coded-energy magick* has more recently arrived and begun to impact our way of approaching the age-old Mind/Matter questions that have been with us since we could even frame them coherently. When Mutational Alchemy speaks of a mathematical *Scales of Light*, it seems very likely that so-called Superlight is precisely the kind of Light being referenced.

Most of the *Elemental Fields* theory here at TAI has been kept under wraps, because only a very small handful of people are even ready to understand it – yet. Genetics science, computer science, and the rush to artificial intelligence are among the major players rapidly changing all of that. We seem to be approaching a fight-or-flight evolutionary imperative where understanding ourselves (and being able to manage ourselves) at the coded-energy level will be the next make-or-break trial human beings will have to pass to gain proper admittance to the greater macrososmic community of Life itself. We’re getting very close to that apparent deadline and it’s high time we begin acknowledging that the keys to our very survival are in our own hands. Maybe God designed us that way; maybe Nature, who we seem to have so despised for no particular good reason. In the meantime, running these meditation tools and gadgets in the privacy of our own personal spaces is a very cool way to test out the potential effects of Superlight and its unraveling technology.

This milestone booklet marks the 3rd in a series of monthly symposiums held in Olympia, Washington (begin date: February 6, 2013) surrounding Mutational Alchemy theory and practice. These symposiums take the form of technical presentations followed by open discussion among participating parties. The intent is to stay as closely as possible to the information presented in the accompanying booklets, so for those that cannot attend the symposiums themselves, the booklets should provide readers with a fair overview of what was presented in each case.

In our third gathering we explored the *Proximity Principle*, a central organizational strategy in Mutational Alchemy that allows us a means of resolving the exact positions of the 22 Tree of Life Paths. Without being able to resolve the exact chronological order of Paths, we have no certain means of aligning the 32 hexagrammal pairs of the I Ching to the 32 Sephiroth & Paths of the Tree of Life. Aside from its importance to Mutational Alchemy, the Proximity Principle is a very revealing governing dynamic to the Tree of Life in general. Most readers will have never heard of this principle before, yet once it is clearly grasped the proper ordering of Paths will never be in question again.

Beyond the Tree of Life, the Proximity Principle opens up organizational possibilities for many other similar constructs rooted in a combination of energetic epicenters and connective pathways in general. The rationale underscoring the Proximity Principle translates seamlessly to many other branches of energy work within the Body of Light and is therefore a vital understanding applicable to anatomical networks of many kinds. This little booklet outlines a revolutionary insight that will forever change the way you think about these esoteric models.

Director /  Abrahadabra Institute

Author: m1thr0s

Born in Berkeley, California in 1953 on the cusp of the water snake and dragon years, m1thr0s has been a dedicated student of the I Ching, Qabbalah, Tantra, and Esoteric (Spiritual) Alchemy since his early teens.

His art features many classical elements from mystical traditions around the world such as the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, the charismatic Flower of Life, the Pythagorean Tetractys, the I Ching Hexagrams, the Lo Shu Magic Square (and subsequent Magickal Squares), the Abrahadabra Grid, the (Hidden) Diamond of the Tree of Life, among others. He defines himself as a *Talismanic Artist* whose objective is to facilitate dynamic transformation in viewers through the simple act of viewing these powerful transcendental images.

m1thr0s’s art is tracking the *star* thesis of human evolutionary potential through exhaustive analysis of The Body of Light in lieu of Abrahadabra, as revealed in Aleister Crowley’s Liber Al vel Legis (The Book of the Law) in 1904. While not strictly a devotee of Crowley, his work often vindicates the best of Crowley’s own insights and provides us with the freshest window into *star alchemy* available anywhere in the modern world.

The groundbreaking synthesis of astrological, alchemical and geomantic elements in The Mutational Alchemy Tarot Deck are all his inventions and provide a rich and fertile ground for the viewer to explore. The art of m1thr0s affects subtle changes in us at a molecular level as is indicative of the highest examples of talismanic art.

We’re celebrating the founding of The Abrahadabra Institute, on this day, 11 years ago.  We’ve made the following very special edition poster available and will be hosting an anniversary party on may 26th (memorial day weekend) with door prizes  food, alcohol,  If you’d like to attend, you’re more than welcome (as long as you have some interest in the occult and TAI – or maybe can mix really good drinks) just email izi@ningishzidda.com for an invitation.

This month we’ll be celebrating by releasing a lot of cool previously unseen content, so stay tuned!

Here’s an illustrated rundown of the significant events which have taken place over the past 11 years here at The Abrahadabra Institute.

 

May 4th, 2002  m1thr0s founds The Abrahadabra Institute. The TwinStar and the Abrahadabra proofs had already been worked out decades before. Within the next few weeks the first charts and articles are uploaded, and m1thr0s titles it The Alchemical Book of Mirrors. The Abrahadabra Institute is the first of the New Aeon orders spawned by Liber Al Vel Legis.

 

“The Alchemical Book of Mirrors is a graphical exploration of the magickal formula of Abrahadabra that is seeking to arrive at a pragmatic grasp of its properties, with special emphasis on any star alchemy that can be found there since this prediction has been assigned to this word, both recently and in the distant past. The specific use of the term stars as applied to humankind is a fairly popular convention of late, but it has a deeper underlying theme is as old as mysticism itself. The usual inference is it has some special significance denoting the Body of Light and references human beings in a more universal context than their immediate surroundings. What remains to be adequately defined is what a so-called star might actually be and why this is a term that should be applied to human beings at all. If there is any outstanding alchemical merit to Liber Al vel Legis’  introductory phrase “Every man and every woman is a star”, this will eventually need to be qualified according to recognizable elemental guidelines or we must finally conclude that this phrase is a colorful metaphor at best.” – m1thr0s

November 11th, 2005 Abrahadabra Forums is launched.

January 2006 m1thr0s begins introducing Mutational Alchemy in a series of in depth talks on Abrahadabra Forums, including Mutational Alchemy 001 002 & 003. (We’ll be releasing the podcasts of this within this month) m1thr0s begins teaching the public how to perform the TwinStar active scrying meditation for the first time through the use of several Flash demos.

twinstar.numbers.cw[1]

July 2006, Abrahadabra.com begins showing up in searches on Google for words ranging from occult to hermeticism.

August 26th, 2006  m1thr0s introduces the world to the very advanced Mutational Alchemy discipline of fields and fields theory, with the article Trigrammal Fields 001. It’s too advanced for even the best people at Abrahadabra Forums, and the initial article is removed.

February 4th, 2007 The first Abrahadabra educational classes are begun through “Abrahadabra University”, run by several teachers with expertise in Hermeticism, Gnosticism and Kabbalah.

May 13th, 2007  The War Room, Abrahadabra’s flash-based chat room is opened.

June 18th, 2007 m1thr0s publically asserts that the Tree of Life is indeed a mathematical subset of Abrahadabra itself.

(http://www.abrahadabra.com/gridproofs001.htm)

“once we understand that the Tree of Life itself emanates from Abrahadabra…that the Word comes first as it were…we have a whole new ball game going on in my view. The fact that Abrahadabra can very easily be defined as the logical extension of the Tetractys of the Decad is just as important as the fact that it houses the Tree of Life within itself.

I have a short article in progress on this, but my principle objective with this immediate mirror is to establish in one place a set visual proofs destined to redefine what Abrahadabra is and why it matters.” - m1thr0s (June 2007)

02-17-2009 izi ningishzidda announces her intent to complete all 78 illustrations of a tarot project that centers on binary and ternary influences along with a dash of tantricism, and m1thr0s volunteers his expertise. The Mutational Alchemy Tarot project is born.

 

02-28-2009 The Hidden Paths Diamond is rediscovered and properly recognized for the first time in history. 

DiamondSutra01

10-04-2009 Izi Ningishzidda arrives in Olympia, Washington to assist in growing the Institute. In November of the same year she is awarded the position of Executive Project Director by m1thr0s.

12-29-2011 Izi becomes the resources administrator for Abrahadabra Forums. A complete overhaul of the forums and the restructuring of The Abrahadabra Institute is begun under her direction. 

“I’ve learned kind of an unexpected lesson over the years with respect to these forums. In the beginning it seemed that the best strategy for running a quality board would be to allow for a wide latitude of topics that didn’t insist on abrahadabra discussion but nevertheless embellished it more or less indirectly. Over time this has turned out to be an illusion and the truth was bolder than I was initially willing to acknowledge. Ironically, when you make abrahadabra your baseline subject matter, you wind up talking about everything else under the sun! When your focus is *everything else*, it just winds up dragging things down to the level of a lot of useless/pointless chatter. So it seems we really do need to rewire the boards to be more in line with what is REALLY being discussed here and those who are ok with that will benefit a lot more coherence and clarity all around, since the *bottom line* will always be apparent. Those who are not ok with it have plenty of other places they can go and that’s ok. We’ll still be here when they finally get tired of talking about useless shit to no good purpose. If that seems a tad dismissive…well…things are what they are in the end.

It seems to defy rational thinking, but experience has indicated otherwise…specialization is just kind of the nature of things in the modern world and even though we have a theme that is very broad in itself…it can never be so broad as to deny its own internal standards or it just winds up being a garbage heap. I really cannot allow that to happen on my watch, so the solution is fairly apparent…stick close to what you know and don’t try to be all things to all people. Surprisingly, abrahadabra’s own inherent diversity still embraces and ultimately exalts a vast array of connected disciplines and interests. And that’s why we need the Institute!”

The Proximity Principle is the topic for May at our monthly symposium (first Wednesday of the month). Attendees must RSVP. You can RSVP by replying to this post or by emailing me, izi@ningishzidda.com. We’ll be serving Washington wine, 2010 Desert Wind Tempranillo, and food. We were thinking of switching the day of the week we host it on, but Wednesday works for now. I’m planning a pretty big housewarming/Abrahadabra inaugural – not sure when that will take place. There’s talk of renting goats and so forth.

Oh yeah. Totally Satanic.

I had a wonderful opportunity to read a preview of the accompanying booklet m1thr0s wrote and I was very impressed. It’s not light reading, even though The Proximity Principle itself is fairly simple. Users of the TwinStar or the Sephiroth will come away with a better understanding of how and why we do certain things in active scrying meditation. Most of us need to know exactly what we are getting into in occultism.  The Proximity Principle lays to rest a few longstanding misconceptions about how the tree works, and the booklet explains how these misconceptions and falsehoods have damaged our understanding of reality and why they continue to be perpetuated.  Here’s some of the new images:

Important note:  Staff writers (anyone who has access to the Forums)  need to contact admin directly to get access to the panel that allows users to create posts, rather than just reply to content already on the site. Please post your request in the forums. Anyone who needs a briefing on how to use WordPress’s backend can request one there also.

In the Future….

The Mutational Alchemy Tarot is still in review, we’re going to be self publishing and submitting to a mass distribution publisher.  We’ve already begun the self-publication process so look for news of the deck perhaps as early as Late Fall 2013. The system and hence the writing is fairly complex so the self published deck probably won’t be accompanied by a full book, however we’ll figure something out.

036-king-blades

m1thr0s will be continuing the Symposium series through 2013. This volume for 2013 will not be reprinted so get your copies now or miss out. They’ll be available as a single volume at the end of the year, but will be much more expensive, so the booklets are the best way to get the information. Staff as always gets free access to the booklets, m1thr0s will be converting them to the forums later this year.

Two new projects are being outlined, titled Heliopolis II  and Possession. Both are graphic novels and both are going to be dealing with topics of interest to The Abrahadabra Institute and occultists. That’s all I can reveal for now.

This 24-page booklet marks the second of a series of monthly symposiums held in Olympia, Washington (begin date: February 6, 2013) surrounding Mutational Alchemy theory and practice. These symposiums take the form of technical presentations followed by open discussion among participating parties. The intent is to stay as closely as possible to the information presented in the accompanying booklets, so that if you cannot attend the symposiums themselves, the booklets should provide readers with a fair overview of what was presented in each case.

In our second gathering we explored the *Elemental Lo Shu* (magic square) beginning with a brief overview of the historical Lo Shu Diagram from ancient China, advancing towards the 4 and 9-elemental  systems of the binary and ternary bigrams. The 9-elemental system in particular forms the hub of all Mutational Alchemy constructs and tenets and is thus crucial to understanding Mutational Alchemy doctrine as a whole. We touch on several important themes which we will be following up on in later symposiums such as the alchemical Word of Perfection and others.

Born in Berkeley, California in 1953 on the cusp of the water snake and dragon years, m1thr0s has been a dedicated student of the I Ching, Qabbalah, Tantra, and Esoteric (Spiritual) Alchemy since his early teens.

His art features many classical elements from mystical traditions around the world such as the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, the charismatic Flower of Life, the Pythagorean Tetractys, the I Ching Hexagrams, the Lo Shu Magic Square (and subsequent Magickal Squares), the Abrahadabra Grid, the (Hidden) Diamond of the Tree of Life, among others. He defines himself as a *Talismanic Artist* whose objective is to facilitate dynamic transformation in viewers through the simple act of viewing these powerful transcendental images.

m1thr0s’s art is tracking the *star* thesis of human evolutionary potential through exhaustive analysis of The Body of Light in lieu of Abrahadabra, as revealed in Aleister Crowley’s Liber Al vel Legis (The Book of the Law) in 1904. While not strictly a devotee of Crowley, his work often vindicates the best of Crowley’s own insights and provides us with the freshest window into *star alchemy* available anywhere in the modern world.

The groundbreaking synthesis of astrological, alchemical and geomantic elements in The Mutational Alchemy Tarot Deck are all his inventions and provide a rich and fertile ground for the viewer to explore. The art of m1thr0s affects subtle changes in us at a molecular level as is indicative of the highest examples of talismanic art.

4-3-2013 we will be hosting the Mutational Alchemy Symposium in honor of the Lo Shu Square. This month has been extremely busy and taxing on both m1thr0s and I, and I apologize for slipping under the radar. The move into the new (big) house has finally been mostly completed, and we’re ready to resume the meetings again.

m1thr0s is deep into writing the next Symposium series booklet, and this promises to be one of the best, most comprehensive forays into the nature of the Lo Shu Square.

The meeting will be held once again at Cryptatropa Bar, 421 4th Ave E. in Olympia, Washington, at 7pm. Booklets are $6 at the meeting,  and afterwards online $11.

Perseverance furthers.

“Don’t worry. We are not going to be making a habit of cancelling these meetings. The tail end of February has brought us an unexpected surprise since we found a very cool Abrahadabra Institute house in the downtown Olympia area that we will be moving into on or about March 1, 2013. 4-bedroom, 2-bath space in great condition and a very cool landlord with lots of light, full basement, nice yard (with a working hot tub!), decent kitchen, dining room, living room (all wood flooring) and so on. This will be a very productive art/metaphysics space for us but it came up suddenly and we need to move on it quickly. Looks like I’ll finally have a real study to do podcasts in and more, so we’re pretty stoked…

I am also doing a workshop this month at Evergreen State College on sacred symbolism in art and we have been told that the art collective we are doing this for has found funding to actually pay us for this and future workshops to come, so that’s another bit of excitement going on this month. Izi did one too on Academic Realism that went off really well so now it’s my turn…

Anyway – we will resume on schedule come April with the local AI meetups!

In our first gathering we explored the enigmatic *Hidden Diamond* of the Tree of Life beginning with a brief overview of the Tree and history of Western Magickal traditions, advancing logically towards the evolution of the *Star* model of human evolutionary potential where the 16 *Hidden Paths* have an important role to play, highlighting tantric applications specific to the Tree of Life that have thus far gone overlooked and unattended. While there are a very few cursory slivers of information available on the Hidden Diamond at large already, there has been virtually no work done in this area of any academic merit. Owing to its importance and immediate accessibility, I determined that the Hidden Diamond was a good way to kick off these symposiums, giving readers vitally important information they can begin working with right away.
