Summer of Love - Ulysses Black
Ulysses has been scrying in a black mirror over a jar of liquid all day, and will now talk to us about his experience and perhaps about identity.
Birth name was Orlando.
The power of names and signatures.
Shapeshifting.
The first magickal name he gave himself was Jack McBeth and he presented himself as Jack, as a pseudonym, at 21. It was a veil, a mask.
(This is all very interesting to...

Summer of Love - Alkistis Dimech
Putting the feminine back into magick. Mostly through dance and the body.
Butoh.
“My Butoh is sabbatic dance.”
“We are of the Earth, sustained by the Earth and, ultimately, devoured by the Earth.”
“The body is not a means but an end.” (I disagree, but it’s interesting to hear Alkistis’ ideas and feel her passion.)
“Women, homosexuals,...
Summer of Love - Peter Grey
Lucifer is the most inspiring of the so called fallen angels.
Peter is talking about the light bearer, but will he talk about demons and Satan?
Peter is to discuss Lucifer’s character, excised from various Grimmoires (Red Dragon, Black Dragon, Libre Troisiem etc.) to show him as a very different character than we might assume.
Bloodstone - Heliotropen - Blood Sun. Prometheus - related...

Summer of Love - Stephen Grasso
Suited Stephen performs a reading - magick is everywhere, especially London apparently.
Urban life, urban magick, history.
Personal note; great writing, great reading, and I’m sure everything is true - but for what purpose?

Summer of Love - Jake Stratton-Kent
“The most notorious necromancer in England!”
I lost my notes so I’m quickly rewriting stuff.
Jake says that angels and demons rarely get involved with actual magick, although angels may authorise magicks.
We often view Grimmoires through a Christian lens, not always appropriate.
So, on to Elementals and Roman House Gods.
I’ve lost some interesting notes, but...

Summer of Love - Nicholaj de Mattos Frisvold
Nicholaj, from Brazil, presents his new book, Pomba Gira, and discusses the goddess Venus.
No opening ritual as yet.
Straight into Venus talk, no introduction or context - oh well, at least there’s no PowerPoint!
Need to look up ‘Pomba Gira’ to find out who they were and what these spirits now are.
Ah, Brazilian people approach the Pomba Gira spirits as friends. People...
Summer of Love - opening
I’m just writing a few notes as we go through the day here at Scarlet Imprint’s ‘Summer of Love’ esoteric event in Brighton.
Here’s the link to the details / speakers: http://www.scarletimprint.com/summeroflove.htm
The Scarlet Imprint publish beautifully crafted books, tomes and grimmoires. Often rather dark, bordering on black, and almost always obliquely...
Scarlet Imprint - Summer of Love (now) →
We’re here for a occult convocation of some kind; talks and esoterica for the whole day in Brighton.
