BLAST Your Way To Megabuck$ With My SECRET Sex-Power Formula: ...And Other Reflections Upon the Spiritual Path

by Ramsey Dukes

Long out of print and much sought after, this important collection of essays was republished as a print on demand title

Why does there seem to be less magic in the modern world? Could it be because we are all better magicians? Is it time to reinstate the charlatan in his vital role as initiator on the occult path? Is scientific thought declining in favour of magical thought? And is this inevitable? Have men traditionally played a leading role because of a deep sense of their own uselessness relative to women? And is this situation beginning to reverse? Might we not be living with another's virtual reality? How would this effect our under- standing of this universe? Have I failed to blast my way to megabuck$ because you are standing reading this blurb rather than buying my book? These and other questions are explored in depth in this volume that brings together essays written in the 1980s by one of the most original and creative contemporary writers on magic.

Continuing an excellent start to 2024's reading materials with this thrilling collection by my favourite, and, in my opinion, woefully underrated occultist. Ramsey Dukes' writings are always as imbued with playfulness and humour as they are with insights that come way out of left field and explode your everyday, mundane reality. This read left me mind-blown in a way very few books do, I was at once unsettled and disarmed, but also encouraged, sobered, and empowered to experiment and explore. It's easy to make the generic, edgy claim, "but what if reality isn't real." Yes, I have seen the matrix. What is more difficult, and something many occult writers fail to do, is to avoid moving from this baseline straight to a new dogma, a new way reality is, a new set of principles and maps. I'm looking at you, Thelemites! Dukes is always very careful to avoid this, taking everything with a pinch of salt, giving you only ever enough to exemplify what kind of thinking can help you in deepening and developing your own, personal experience of things. There is no doctrine here, Uncle Ramsey is ever the trickster, gleefully inhabiting the role of charlatan, carefully disguising wisdom as jest. The result is joy and a restored sense of hope and possibility.
