A great Joe Coleman interview
I just posted this amazing and previously unpublished Joe Coleman interview: ”That’s what I do: I find something that speaks to me, and then I go with it and let it tell me its story, but filtered through me with whatever codings there are in my personal history, my family history, my experience with my contemporary understanding of what it’s like to live in this era as compared to that era.

The Anger class is up!
I just posted my four-session class about Kenneth Anger on the Fenris Wolf Substack: Five and a half hours of Anger chronology, insights, films, Hollywood Babylon, and of course LOTS on Aleister Crowley. My documentary CINEMAGICIAN is also available at the site. #kennethanger #thelema #aleistercrowley #lucifer #occulture #carlabrahamsson
More Americans: a new photo book
Black and white photographs from American journeys between 1989 and 2012. With his intuitive gaze steering towards the netherworlds of an America that contains equal parts dream and nightmare, Swedish author/photographer Carl Abrahamsson captures a dissolved civilization in stark images: architecture, professionals, homeless, sign languages from bygone days, competition at any cost, saturated emotions, and harsh patterns of a perhaps not so manifest destiny. Working in a tradition of timeless humanist reportage approaches (as formulated by pioneers such as Walker Evans, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Robert Frank), Abrahamsson’s photographic images display the world as it was right there and then, and also leave a retinal residue that (hopefully) still keeps us thinking today.“Carl’s photographs capture the pathos of America’s crumbling artifice, casting an impartial outsider’s eye on our failed dreams and delusions. Now, as we tumble helplessly into our Trumpian dystopia, these...
I’m on Rebel Spirit Radio
I’m on Rebel Spirit Radio, talking to Nick Mather about my book Meetings With Remarkable Magicians, and many other things: Carl Abrahamsson, a multifaceted writer, filmmaker, and philosopher, returns to Rebel Spirit Radio to discuss his latest book, “Meetings with Remarkable Magicians: Life in the Occult Underground.” Carl dives into his personal journey through the magical arts, the significance of individuation, and the philosophical underpinnings of magic. Discover Carl’s interactions with influential figures like Anton LaVey, Kenneth Anger, and Genesis P-Orridge, and gain insights into his innovative concept of the Mega Golem. Carl also shares his thoughts on the interplay between magic and culture, the importance of controlling your own time, and the role of transcendence in modern culture.
