Notes from a book that rewired my brain
“If I hear one more person who brags about their trips with Terence McKenna or Timothy Leary I might become what people refer to as evil.”
— Rachel Haywire
In the early noughties I read Generation Hex: New Voices from Outside Reality. It was a magick antholocy edited by Jason Louv and published by Disinformation.
Back when I was still young, beautiful, and hopeful. Well, at least one of those things. I mean kinda.
This is where I first encountered James Curcio and Rachel Haywire. People whose works I still love and admire to this day.
I scribbled notes at the time like a normal person. Then years later I published them as a blog post like some sort of deranged anthropologist.
This is that post. Best read in a darkened room with the lights out and your eyes shut.
I’ve no idea what’s what anymore so please consider it a great big messy misquote and go buy the actual book.
Thoth is the god of magick and writing. Coincidence? I think not. Make of that what you will.
Come back 2005, all is forgiven.
