BLK Friday

Posted by blacklotuskult on

Instead of going out tomorrow to buy things that you don’t need, head to the Seattle Humane Society to take advantage of their Black (Cat) Friday Promotion. All adoption fees on black cats will be waived, and there is a special gift for those who show up to adopt early.

The Society is a non-profit, no-kill shelter. We adopted Black Lotus Kat from them earlier this year, and couldn’t be more pleased. If you are outside of the Seattle area, please consider making a small donation to help them out.

Kyle Fite’s ARCANA

Posted by blacklotuskult on

See http://www.starfirepublishing.co.uk/arcana_larger.htm for a large view of the ARCANA print by Kyle Fite available from Starfire Publishing.
This is a signed and numbered limited edition composite print comprising 21 of the Greater Arcana Tarot cards, using themes from Aleister Crowley’s Thoth Tarot, Papus and Freemasonry.

Kyle’s work is featured in Starfire Journal, in books from Scarlet Imprint, and it hangs on the walls of the Black Lotus Kult Sanctum Sanctorum.

Rooster Baby Contest

Kindle of Black Lotus Kult is in a contest with Rooster Baby.

To win, she needs two things;

1) To create a photo that “blows people away” [done],

and

2) Your vote!

So your mission is to click on this link –

This was one of a series of photos taken in the BLK Temple of Love that we will publish after the completion of the contest along with a limited edition text (including related ritual instructions).

Nude witches, wine and Sisters of Mercy references

We spent the last 24 hours in a photo-shoot in the BLK “Temple of Love”, where we found the appropriate amount of wine (lots) and clothes (not lots) to fit the occasion. More info soon.

Until then…

Returning to “normal”

We host a number of occult artists and writers at the BLK Kompound as they come to town for the Seattle Esoteric Book Conference. This kept us busy before and after the event, but it was a joy to have our friends near. The 2012 EBC was an absolute delight to attend, and we will get to work on a review for you to read in time. We now need to make room on the walls for new works by Liv Rainey-Smith and Hagen von Tulien.

Following the EBC, we held our annual Black Lotus Kult Celebration. This year’s party was held in honor of Fulgur Limited’s 20 years of publishing. We are proud to have their books in the BLK Library and we are looking forward to another 20 years from Fulgur!

Shiva Mass

Earlier in the day of the BLK Celebration, before the festivities, we performed a version of the Shiva Mass that we received from Michael Bertiaux. In this picture from later in the evening, Kindle Cimmerian performs a Mass closing ritual.

After the Celebration, we found a VERY secluded retreat for our Autumnal Equinox workings. Now we are back home, and ready to start work again. New music, writings and performances will be coming soon and increasing in frequency in the New Year. We will also be posting more pictures from this, and previous year’s BLK Celebrations.

In our “Interviews” section, you may now find our discussion with the infamous Vadge Moore (see https://blacklotuskult.com/interviews/vadge). Vadge speaks about his music and writing, as well as Aleister Crowley, Michael Bertiaux, Kenneth Grant, The Dwarves and other things that go bump in the night.
