Biographical

      On the cosmic level, I am a theogenist who seeks to re-mythify that which is called reality, as well as that which has the potential of becoming reality. On the personal level, I am an alchemist, with a strong interest in entheogens, consciousness expansion, and indefinite prolongation of life, while maximizing the quality of life. The interplay between these two extremes manifests as a living mutable texture within which my life & philosophies evolve.

      I am a Thelemite & co-founder of the Chthonic/Auranian-Templars of Thelema (C/A-ToT), which was once known as the Chthonic/Auranian Ordo Templi Orientis (C/A-OTO). See here for details: http://www.caoto.org/ While I certainly do enjoy creative dynamic ritual magick, I am far more shamanic in practice than a practitioner of the Rosicrucian/Masonic/Golden Dawn traditions.    

      I have been involved in the 23 Current since before it had that name, and may possibly have been responsible for the 23 Current getting its name. I am a current member of & past lodgemaster of the Esoteric Order of Dagon, as well as the founder of the Miskatonic Alchemykal Expedition (which began as the Miskatonic Alchemical Expedition, back nearly 20 years ago).

      As a pantheist, I feel everything is sacred, but I hold nothing sacrosanct.  Like Crowley, I feel everything is questionable, and should be questioned assiduously on a regular basis. That said, over the decades I have found certain myths and techniques to be useful - whether they be in any sense ultimately true, or not.

      I have been involved in the Horus/Maat Lodge nearly since its inception, and am most often a throneholder of the Sphere of Daäth.     Although, it could truthfully be said that I work Chaos Magick, my groking of that concept pre-dates my knowledge of Peter Caroll's work.  My understanding of this field developed thru my work within the Typhonain OTO, my informal associations with various Discordian magickians, and various practical work with people from diverse backgrounds.

      Since May of 1993, I have been a Tarot & Palmistry Counselor out on Jackson Square in the French Quarter of New Orleans. I am a past V° member of the Typhonian OTO, I was briefly a Minerval in the Caliphate OTO, and just as briefly a Neophyte in the Order of the Golden Dawn.   I am a II° in Coven Beth-Ra-Lune, a Thelemic-Gardnarian coven.  My website is under construction. In a very real sense, my blog at LiveJournal is my on-going, ever-evolving web presence. Some of my earlier writings are also scattered throughout the web under the names Frater PVN, Bill Siebert, and Alobar Greywalker.  None of my older chapbooks are currently in print, but 2 new books should be published sometime in 2009.

      I have been a celibate old fart for the past decade or so because I am very picky as to who I connect with sexually.   I also enjoy being a reclusive hermit.  I am still quite fond of sexually open young women with interests similar to my own. Tobacco, needle drugs, and all uncontrolled addictions (food or drugs) turn me off.
