As Britain reels from a summer of Plinth mania, you might like to know that in the interests of psych-occultists everywhere, writer and chaosopher Julian Vayne will be taking to the People's Plinth in Trafalgar Square on Monday 24th August, from 10am-11am, dressed as Baphomet.
Baphomet, as I'm sure you know, is the enflamed hermaphrodite, bat-winged, demon god, alleged to have been worshipped by the Knights Templar, brought to widespread attention by the French occultist Eliphas Levi, and now championed by any self-respecting Chaos Magician intent on a bit of quiet afternoon's boundary dissolution.
But fear not, it's all in a good cause. Julian will be championing Boscastle's Witchcraft Museum, which, having nearly been washed away in the flash floods a few years back, needs a new roof.
Anyone who wants to come along and support Julian/Baphomet with a bit of drumming, chanting, or nepharious ritualising will be most welcome.
Genius.

Ahoy there!
Anyone who has visited my website recently will have noticed that I've been a bit slack in updating it. I know, I know. I've been busy, OK?
But owing to the fact that my laptop is four hundred years old and that I'm not, ahem, in a position to replace it, I'm now unable to update the old website anyhow. The software tides have moved on, leaving me marooned on my island of OX10.3.9, with nothing on the horizon but the prospect of further technological decrepitude.
So, I've set this new blog up and right now am positively brimming with good intentions to keep it up to date with thoughts, musings, the occasional witty anecdote and wry aside (I will, I promise, let you know what I've been up to). Think of it as my 'message in a bottle' hurled into the waves in the hope that someone out there will go, "Oh yeah, I remember him..."
Here goes. Splash.
