Genesis Breyer P-Orridge Thee Psychick Bible from Feral House

“Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth (TOPY) will be remembered for its crucial influence on youth culture throughout the ’80s and ’90s, popularizing occult investigations, tattooing, body piercing, acid house raves, and other ahead-of-the-curve cultic flirtations and investigations. Its leader was Genesis P-Orridge, co-founder of Psychick TV and Throbbing Gristle, the band that created the industrial music genre.

Thee Psychick Bible is an extraordinary collection of ‘occulture’ texts and images from the TOPY period and today. We have to agree with Genesis when he said that this book may be ‘the most profund new manual on practical magick—taking from its Crowleyan level of liberation and empowermeant of the individual to a next level of realization that magick must then give back to its environment, its community…'”

(yzzy☥kyzy)

Narcigesis produced, written and performed by yzzy☥kyzy. This track was inspired by the idea of liberation from the state and consumerism through psycho-spiritual anarchistic revelation during meditation.

Born 19 years ago, in a small potato town (Alliston, Ontario) yzzy☥kyzy started on a bad path with anger management and abusive family life. Magick, music, and psychedelic reprogramming saved him from certain demise in the constant cycle of chaos. First started playing guitar in grade 6 and ever since then found music to be the truest form of being for him. Now free from the chains of darkness he pursues a career of expression with his roommate in Etobicoke hoping one day to be able to support himself through making music.

CXXI

As the wheel of fortune spins round and round

The serpent of karma ascends to be crowned

And receive the elixir of liberation;

I raise up the cup and adore Babalon!

Egyptian Magic in Egyptian Magic by Florence Farr.

“Reincarnation was necessary to imperfect souls, to those who had failed to pass the tests of initiation; but for those who had the Will and the capacity to enter the Secret Adytum, there was seldom necessity for that liberation of the soul which is said to be effected by the destruction of the body.” [via]
