BLK Celebration 2019 – Caroline Wise Returns!

Posted by blacklotuskult on

Caroline Wise provided many highlights of last year’s Chicago BLK Celebration. It is our honour to have her back for BLK Celebration 2019

Caroline Wise 

presents

Finding the Deer Mother in the Cults of the Shadows

Elen

Much of the light that has been cast on the mysteries of the goddess Elen of the Ways has come from the research of Caroline Wise. In this talk, she will inform and involve the audience while delving into animal masks and forms that cloak our earliest deities, following the deer goddess across the earth and sky, with her allies and foes.

Caroline

Caroline inaugurated the re-publishing of Kenneth’s Grant‘s books in the late 1980s which paved the way for his the unpublished works to see the light. She has been an occult bookshop owner, a psychic quester, and priestess of the goddess, who has contributed to several books – on goddesses, on Florence Farr, and on Legendary London. She compiled the book Finding Elen, the Quest for Elen of the Ways, about the forgotten deer goddesses.

In providing information regarding this posting, she also mentioned that she is “rather fond of The Black Lotus Kult“.

We love you too Caroline!

In a collaboration with Black Lotus Kult, Kindle Cimmerian and Caroline have created a special illustrative performance to accompany this talk to bring the Goddess into the room.

BLK Celebration 2019 – Dr Chris Giudice presents “And the Phoenix is Reborn: Some Historical Notes on The Process Church of the Final Judgment”

Posted by blacklotuskult on

We are excited to announce a presentation for BLK Celebration 2019

Dr. Chris Giudice

will deliver

“And the Phoenix is Reborn: Some Historical Notes on The Process Church of the Final Judgment”

“CHRIST said: Love your enemies.
CHRIST’s Enemy was SATAN
and SATAN’s Enemy was CHRIST.
Through Love enmity is destroyed.”

Robert de Grimston

Process cross
What had begun as a small self-psychotherapy group in the heart of swinging 60s London, turned out, in time to be one of the most influential new religious movements: the literature on the Process is increasing year by year, and the influence of Robert and Mary Ann de Grimston’s creation has influenced fringe culture in a massive way, from Psychick TV to Sabbath Assembly, from the New Processean Order to reprints of de Grimston’s most popular books. Turn on, tune in, drop out: in this lecture, Chris Giudice will provide a historical overview of the Process’s development, from Scientology splinter group to Animal Shelter NGO, from the psychedelic 60s to the burn-out experienced in the 70s. The four archetypes of Jehovah, Jesus, Satan and Lucifer will be analysed and explained, as will the different shock tactics employed by the Process to draw more followers in their ranks.

Chris
Dr Chris Giudice is an independent scholar, who has lectured widely on subjects ranging from 19th and 20th century occultism, to psychedelic new religious movements, to occultism in politics and avant-garde cinema.
Having obtained a BA in Classics from the University of Oxford, he went on to achieve an MA in Western esotericism at the University of Exeter and a PhD in Religious Studies at the University of Gothenburg.
For ten years he was the lead singer of eso-neofolk band The Green Man, publishing 3 albums and 1 ep and touring extensively across Europe. He is now leader of the industrial project Rosy Cross & the Children of Ra Hoor Khuit and is working on his debut album.
Chris is a member of La Société Voudon Gnostique, and is currently working on a volume on Ludwig Klages’s Lebensphiosophie in relation to JJ Bachofen’s concept of Matriarchy (Mutterecht), and its possible practical applications.

BLK Celebration 2018 – Caroline Wise presents “The Blood Red Cord of Isis”

Posted by blacklotuskult on

We’ve previously announced that Caroline Wise will be presenting “Nuit, Isis and the Nu-Isis Lodge” at this year’s BLK Celebration. We are happy to note that she will be adding a supplemental session,

“The Blood Red Cord of Isis”.

Kenneth Grant tends to get lumped in with H.P. Lovecraft and UFOs in the casual conversations of internet occultist. His work is far more complex and spans a wide variety of subjects.

Caroline will take us through a lesson on “the Goddess behind it all” as background to her talk on the Nu-Isis Lodge.

Caroline

Caroline in the Spare Room

Caroline Wise instigated the republishing of Kenneth Grant’s books at Skoob Esocterica in 1989, which led to previously unpublished works coming into the light, including Grant’s novellas. She co-edited ‘The Secret Lore of London’ with John Matthews (Hodder and Stoughton 2016) and has contributed to several books on the goddesses of the Ancient World; on Austin Osman Spare, tarot artist Pamela Coleman Smith, and on magician Florence Farr, whose Egyptian themed plays she produced at The Rudolph Steiner Theatre in 1993. She gives talks and workshops on the goddesses in Britain, and in USA, Germany and Italy. She works with Starfire Publishing and has a special interest in the work of Kenneth Grant.
