Introductory Thoughts: Pagan Conceptions of the Self


On August 8th, at 10a.m., I will be teaching the class "Pagan Conceptions of the Self" at the Salem Summer Symposium. I hope some of you will consider joining me! Here I would like to offer some beginning provocations concerning the topic.

On the Lion Skin Belt

While doing some research on pagan magic and necromancy I came upon some interesting texts that caused me to reflect upon the use of the Lion Skin Belt in the grimoire tradition (notably in the so-called Lemegeton or Lesser Key of Solomon).

Salem Summer Symposium!


Come see me in Salem this summer at the Salem Summer Symposium! I'll be giving two talks. First, starting off the seminars on the morning of the first day of classes (Thursday August 8th) I will be talking about "Pagan Conceptions of the Self". Then, Friday afternoon, I'll be discussing "The Role of Magic in a Pagan Cosmos". I will also be in Salem all that week and will attend most of the events and classes/talks/seminars. I am very honored and excited to be in such amazing company, check out the list of other presenters! Hope to see you this summer, and many more updates coming soon!

New Podcast Interview and upcoming Conference

My appearance on This Podcast is Ritual was just posted. It was a great conversation, and the work Devin is doing is excellent. I really appreciated the chance to offer some perspective on my book, True to the Earth.


I will also be giving a talk at Rewriting the Future: 100 Years of Esoteric Modernism and Psychoanalysis at the end of May in Italy. The lineup is amazing and includes several of my favorite thinkers on the topic of the occult. My paper will expand upon some of the key ideas in True to the Earth and will be entitled "True to the Earth and a Pagan Conception of the Self"
