Essay The Hero & the DarkForest: Jordan Peterson & environmentalism Interview Lionel Snell: MagicalThinking Review Hine’s Varieties - Phil Hine Latest posts Begrateful Gyrus / 14 April 2019 Conservative and liberal capitalists often attack a supposed lack of grat**ude among the disaffected. Among the young, among environmentalists, socialists, take your pick. It’s said that they don’t appreciate the pleasures and securities that the modern world affords them. Their dissatisfaction is a mark of lack of awareness. Read more Music for hyperspatial livingrooms Gyrus / 11 February 2019 I thought it’d be an idea to round up the highlights of the music I’ve either discovered or rediscovered in attempts to soundtrack recent psychedelic explorations. It goes without saying, YouTube clips are included here for easy reference, but please support the artists — especially independent ones — by buying where possible (follow the links here). Read more Dale Pendell memorialvideo Gyrus / 1 November 2018 On 13th January this year, Dale Pendell died. On 14th April, his family and friends gathered at the North Columbia Schoolhouse Cultural Centre to celebrate the life of this gifted writer and explorer. A video of this event has just been posted on YouTube. It features remembrances from his wife Laura, Gary Snyder, Daniel Schulke, Kat Harrison, and a host of others relating their connections to this rich, strange life. With a special appearance by Dale Pendell. Dale was — and no doubt remains — a treasured Dreamflesh ally. His presence here is missed. Permalink Siren Zine Issue#3 Gyrus / 28 October 2018 SIREN are an all-female dance music collective in London, throwing q***** parties and promoting women and non-binary artists. This is their third zine, an eclectic embrace of literature, architecture, poetry and photography within the generous matrix of dance culture — and it’s well worth grabbing. Read more Going veggieagain Gyrus / 25 October 2018 A few weeks ago, after about twelve years of returning to eating meat, I became vegetarian again. Read more Taking apart the Heromyth Gyrus / 31 March 2018 One thing Jordan Peterson defenders have right is that he’s provoking some interesting discussions. I’m fed up of the more heated ones, the ones where everyone’s a***uming about everyone else (i.e. most of them), and the fact that it’s all feeding his fame demon. But amongst all that, there’s some important gems popping up. Read more Remembering DalePendell: 1947 - 2018 Gyrus / 14 January 2018 We just lost a great explorer, a wonderful writer, one of the most important chroniclers of the mind’s inner treasures and its fertile congress with the plant world. He had a true rascal’s twinkle in his eye and deep, bodhisattvic compa***ion. He will be missed, and celebrated — a joyfully knowing presence in our moments of poetic ecstasy, a warmth strong enough to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with bitter world-weariness. Read more Haunted Landscapetalk: Sat****ay 18th November, Conway Hall, London Gyrus / 6 November 2017 I’ll be speaking on Pan the goat god in the British landscape – especially Avebury – on Sat****ay 18th November at Conway Hall, London, at an all-day event, The Haunted Landscape 2017: Folklore, Ghosts and Witchcraft, hosted by the London Fortean Society. Honoured to appear alongside Jeremy Harte, Owen Davies, and other illustrious folklore folk. Tickets available at Eventbrite. Permalink Hillmanian echoes Gyrus / 27 October 2017 It’s been interesting recently noting how some key ideas found in James Hillman’s work seem to be cropping up in cutting-edge anthropology. Read more In memory of SimonDwyer: 1959 - 1997 Gyrus / 23 September 2017 Just about twenty years ago, Simon Dwyer died, at the age of thirty-eight, after living for six years HIV positive. I imagine it’s safe to say that I’m not the only one whose life was changed by his publication Rapid Eye. Given the scope of the influence of this explosively fertile creation, together with the seeming difficulty these days of keeping information off the web, it’s astonis***ng that there is almost no information at all on Dwyer out there. There’s just… Rapid Eye. Read more Older posts |
