In the first episode of my October cemetery series, I explore Nunhead Cemetery through the lenses of ghost hunting and psychogeography as I search for the genius loci.

Being bitter about the work of other is not a default writer setting, it is a choice. A bloody awful choice. Don’t do it kids. It withers your soul and the rest of us get bored hearing about it.

Small mercies: after being dropped from Ed Sheeran’s "Loop Tour," Macklemore pledged his full $1 million earnings to six Palestinian relief organisations (including PCRF and HEAL Palestine) and challenged billionaire stadium owner Robert Kraft (who pressured promoters to remove him) to match it.

"Marco, I thought I would see you at [Insert British/European Occult Conference], why weren't you there?" Because I stopped going to events organised by genocide-denying zionists, "sex realists", conspiracy theorists, and/or people who have no qualms about working with these types.

Some 20 years ago, when I was deeply involved in the industrial-goth scene and touring the German festivals extensively every year, I started lamenting the danger of a resurgence of love for fascist aesthetics and themes far beyond what the goths and riveheads of the 80s and 90s flirted with.

I just ran a little experiment, and I can now confirm that a properly trained LLM (that is, one given specific, tailored sources) can ace any A∴A∴ student examination I ever saw or prepared. I wonder how the various lineages will deal with this little issue.

Imagine spending your actual time to write a comment like this. One has to realise that no thought went into it. No more than five seconds were spent checking who you were writing to or what was being discussed. Just the pure reactive mind. We are so, so screwed as a society.

Your average interaction in any occult or esoteric group nowadays: an AI-generated slop image, a quote attributed to someone who never said it, and people experiencing a full-scale religious psychosis. Truly, the great occult revival we were promised. I don’t think it has ever been worse.

“Marco, why are you always writing against the idea of an occult community?” It’s because I inhabited several versions of it and almost all are made by ultra-reactionaries, zionists, “sex realists”, “race realists”, and other despicable individuals.

Tonight, the Sun will almost disappear over Britain, and despite what WitchTok will tell you, astrology has never regarded eclipses as benevolent “portals”; yet an interruption of this magnitude can still become the instrument of serious magical work.

I have been shouting it from the roofs for a while already. Because if it’s bad for journalists, imagine how bad it must be for people in niche interests. Every single time an established “voice” joins a platform it doesn’t help widening the audience: it cannibalises the little that’s left.

No work will be done in Hookland today. It's the Puck Fairs. Epic bouts of storytelling, drinking, love-making and other funs of the fair. #Lughnasadh

August 1st – Puck Fairs
Starting on the old Celtic festival of Lughnasadh and lasting for two days, the Puck Fair is a pre-mediaeval tradition that is still going strong in Hookland. Associated with St. Urian and the faery folk, legend has it that the fairs started as the one point in the year when Hookland and Faeryland were close enough that trade between the two realms was possible. This is often offered as an explanation as to why the fairs used to be held on hilltops sacred to the faery. Whatever their actual origins, the Puck Fairs have become two days when an annual horse and cattle fair is supplemented by traditional matchmaking such as the 24-hour trial marriage (where the couple put together may separate at the end of the fair without any consequence), dances, bouts of wrestling and stick-fighting, horse races, story-telling contests and colossal amounts of drinking. Brutally suppressed during the Cromwellian Commonwealth, condemned by Methodists, often a source of modern moral outrage and an aggravation to the police, the Puck Fairs have proven to be a tradition that is exceptionally hard to kill off. Some have noted there is an increase in the number of people who disappear around the time of the Puck Fairs.
