Reality Hacking: An Experiment in Magick
“Magick is as mysterious as mathematics, as empirical as poetry, as uncertain as golf and as dependent on the personal equation as love.”

Aleister Crowley, Magick in Theory and Practice.

“We will open the gates of Hell and grant you an audience with those in the basement. I know the gatekeeper, Sandalphon… And perhaps you will meet Belial after all.”

I’m not sure whether they make an Omen ring tone, but if they did, I’d have expected to hear it as I perused the text messages I’d been receiving in the past few days. It was July 2001 and I was on a Virgin train to Crewe, a small industrial town in England’s Northwest, to meet Andy Stockall, the man who’d sent them, and his colleague Alistair Burnett. Andy and Alistair are magicians; that is to say, they cast spells, travel non-physical realms, and, when they really want something, they’ll summon a demon or two to perform their bidding. And that’s what we were going to do the following day.

The Rest of this article should keep you busy this weekend..............
