What is Queerying Occultures? 'Queerying' is a portmanteau word from 'Queer' and 'Query'-classic Phil Hine word play. Occulture is another portmanteau word meaning 'Hidden Culture' (from 'Occult' and 'Culture').The occult is Queer. Historically. Intrinsically. Radically. Wonderfully Queer. Yet at times this essential fact can feel unacknowledged in wider Occulture dialogues. Addressing this, Phil Hine's Queerying Occultures is a collection of queer-themed essays exploring, questioning and reflecting on the diverse trajectories that might arise from applying queer questioning to occultural themes and practices. Drawing on perspectives from Queer Theory, history, Continental Philosophy, and shared experience, Hine explores subjects as diverse as Shamanism and gender-variance; the rise of the Queer Pagan approaches; the uncomfortable history of occult homophobia; Queer perspectives on Tantra, Pan, Sacred Spaces, and Crowley in Boy Bar Berlin. This far-reaching, necessary book is both a celebratory resistance text and indispensable investigation of the Queer in Occulture.

Amidst a wild confluence of interlocking conspiracies, the Temple of Erisian Deities prepare their next home invasion ritual in Boulder CO while a charismatic publisher of esoteric books in Sedona AZ cultivates his new author as the Next Big Thing. At the same time, high in Malibu Canyon CA, the Goddess Guild initiates a lost soul of a man to the Feminine Mysteries. The Akashic Record Player is based on a true story inspired by the author's unexpected seventh circuit activation (ref: Timothy Leary's 8-Circuit Brain model) and his attempt to integrate these mystical experiences with the help of the actual people he met on his journey back from "the center of the earth". This is a story about miraculous interactions, sifted through a mythic, allegorical context. Myth is the very language of life and, through its articulation, we can become more alive.

In 1937, a thirty-one year old student of Magic released the secret teachings of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. One year later, that same student, Dr Francis Israel Regardie, published the first edition of a book which would set the tone and direction for alchemical studies for nearly three decades. In this epic book, Regardie gives a penetrating insight into the psychological aspects and mystical symbolism of three famous alchemical tracts: The Golden Tract of Hermes, The Six Keys of Eudoxus, and The Triumphal Chariot of Alchemy. However, after meeting and studying with the famous Alchemist, Frater Albertus (Dr. Albert Richard Reidel), Regardie's views on Alchemy changed forever, as the Alchemist taught him the physical, laboratory basis of the Science that is Alchemy.

Goetia [refers to] all the operations of that Magick which deals with gross, malignant or unenlightened forces. Goetia is sometimes thought of as a wild card, something that can get out of control, something which expresses the operator''s lower desires to control others and improve his own personal life. And, in fact, this potential loss of control, this danger, the desire for self improvement and great power is exactly what attracts many people to Goetia while horrifying and repelling others. Crowley''s Goetia is brought to life with vivid illustrations of the demons. Commentary by DuQuette and Hyatt bring the ancient arts into the modern day.
