I've been writing since I was a teenager. I published my first book in 2003 and since then have continued writing and publishing books regularly on a number of topics.
I originally started out in the traditional publishing world, but I have since become a self-publisher. I love being an indie author and write both fiction and non-fiction.
1. Occult/esoteric books - I share my experiences and experiment with magic and the occult. I write cutting edge books that explore what could magic can be and how it can evolve. Here are links to just a few of the books I've written in the occult genre
2. Fiction books - I write fiction books, currently in the superhero fiction and zombie apocalypse fiction genres, but there will be other genres as well. Here are links to a few of the Fiction books I've written:
I listened to this book on audible. This is an excellent text covering an unusual area of magic in a realistic and thorough way. Before I read this book, I had no idea how much literature was already out there on the topic. Taylor brought together material from great magic writers of the 20th and 21st centuries to give a survey of what was already out there and to comment and annotate the material. Then of course, Taylor shares his own accounts of his practice. Some very interesting topics included are music for space time magic, using the tarot for space time magic or rather not using the tarot. How to keep your options open and how to choose likely timelines and make timelines more likely. I really liked how much he focused on changing probabilities. This is a very nuanced understanding of magic theory and it really works with almost any magical system be it high magic or folk magic. And as always with Taylor's books it is full of experiments for you to try yourself. After all if you don't do magic you aren't a magician, you are just a spectator.
Like most of Taylor's books, this one invites you to rethink life through a magickal lens. This one is worth a few diligent reads as many of the most fascinating ideas are hidden in a paragraph or two.
This book is about how space and time can be used to manifest the life you want to live more effectively. Even if read with an eye to the mundane, this book is rather helpful.
I took a couple of things from this book that are really shifting how I think of life: the past cannot be changed, but you can use the ways you think about it to shift who you are and how you act in the present (and he offers techniques to do this with his particular blend of magick and NLP, meditation, visualization, and hypnosis); time management is about discipline more than technique; to manage time is to manage your life and possibilities; how we think about and interact with the past and future creates who we are in many ways; and more.
Highly recommend to the open magician, psychonaut, meditator, or hypnotist.
I first developed an interest in space/time magic through one of the unlikeliest of mediums: Miss Cleo. A friend and I had decided to make Miss Cleo into a goddess-form of divination. We figured that the amount of energy directed toward her by the media made her into a funnel of power. We wanted to access that power and improve our own divinatory abilities. We weren’t concerned with whether or not she was a fake. Evidently some people believed in her, or at least gave her energy, and that energy could be used to improve our skills. When I did my meditation to Miss Cleo, she showed me more than just how to improve my divinatory skills. She revealed to me a multiverse pregnant with probabilities, and showed me that, with awareness of those probabilities, I could manifest reality to my will, or at least do so more successfully than I had before. She showed me that divination was just the tip of the iceberg of what space/time magic could do for me.
Space/time has always fascinated me, particularly with how science has attempted to explain how it works, and how magic has, in turn, attempted to manipulate it with the express purpose of helping a person to manifest a particular reality. What we are really dealing with is not just space or time, but also reality and our understanding of it. What that means is that reality is more malleable than most perceive it to be. It also means that working space/time magic isn’t necessarily about time travel, but is more about being aware of the probabilities in your life, and how best to make them become reality. We may not be able physically to travel through time, but magic does grant us a means to shift our perspective, to get past the limited linear model of time that most people believe exists. We are not limited to a single line of time, an inevitable march of reality. Instead, we have multiple probabilities, multiple realities, and part of space/time magic is learning to navigate those probabilities.
Most chaos magicians are familiar with Peter Carroll’s blending of science, math, and magic, particularly when it comes to space/time magic . For this book, while I will draw on the sciences and even mathematical approaches to space/time magic, my goal is to present a variety of perspectives on space/time magic that I don’t believe are normally considered by the majority of magicians who practice it, such as how culture, language, and art interact with our understanding of time. Or if the angle is considered, it’s treated with disdain, in a manner that suggests that the perspective should be dropped, as opposed to explored.
