Plutonica.net has moved to a new server.

Nothing should look different on your end, but the blog was down for a couple of days due to some complications in the move.

My apologies if you stopped by and found a 404 page, or another error. We are still here, it just took a bit longer than anticipated to get up and running again.

I’m off on vacation, but have a few posts scheduled for while I’m away, and will still be checking in on things from Angleterre.

Thanks for your patience, guys!

Another Saturday, another Signal.

Before we get started, I just wanted to highlight that the first “Interludes” issue of Trigger93 is now available for download, free of charge.

You may recall I reviewed the first issue of the new occult journal in January, and if that’s anything to go by, it should be a good read.

While we’re at it, I have a new review in the latest issue of Witches & Pagans as well, issue #23. The theme for this issue is “Law & Chaos”, and it has a great interview with Peter Carroll, Jaq D Hawkins and Andrieh Vitimus about chaos magick, what it means to them and where they think magick is heading in the future. You should check it out.

Now, on with your delicious linkage:

• Dave Evans  and David Sutton have written an article on the magickal battle of Britain for Fortean Times.
• Tibetan singing bowls have given up their chaotic secrets, as Jason Palmer reports for the BBC. Science is cool. (Spotted via Technoccult.)
• Sarah Veale gives five reasons Aleister Crowley’s still relevant on Invocatio.
• Over on Therioshamanism, Lupa has a thought-provoking post about anthropocentrism and what it means in (neo-)Pagan spirituality.
• On Nick Farrell’s blog, Nick shares what Regardie didn’t know about the Golden Dawn, the post title a cute play on Regard’s classic, What You Should Know About the Golden Dawn (my 2006 review here).
• More fun from Nick Farrell, “Mathers’ secret hair colour revealed“. Deliberate deception, or an old magickian’s vanity?

New reviews on our sister site, Spiral Nature:

Thanks it for this week, kids.

Told in three parts, frostyobsitnic‘s enthusiastic retelling of HP Lovecraft’s Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath is absolutely hilarious. It’s like Lovecraft via Jay, of Jay and Silent Bob.

My favourite moment is when he mimics the moon cats’ flight through space.

Check out part two, “Oh no squidbirds“, part three “This book isn’t as long as I thought it was” for the moral he derives from the story, and his blog, Myths Retold.
