On Saturday, December 10, 2016, from 10 PM- 12 Midnight, I am going to be a guest on the Spooky Southcoast radio/podcast show.  The show airs every Saturday night on WBSM AM in New Bedford, MA.  Spooky Southwest has been on the air since 2006, making it one of the longest running paranormal shows in the US.

The hosts are Tim Weisberg & Matt Costa, assisted by scientist Matt Moniz, author Chris Balzano, and psychic medium Stephanie Burke.  The show focuses on topics associated with the paranormal; ghosts, UFO’s, and cryptids, among others.  

I will be discussing my book H. P. Lovecraft & the Black Magickal Tradition and, of course, I will be glad to talk about anything that my hosts or the audience might be interested in discussing; I enjoy weird speculations and off-the-wall topics, as anyone knows who has heard  my previous radio/podcast interviews or attended any of my presentations and book signings.

I recently published two free spells for general use among occultists, pagans and magickal practitioners. 

The first of these, “The Spell of the Red Witch-Doll”, is useful for creating love & romance between the magickal practitioner and any person whom the practitioner desires.   The spell can also be cast to promote generate health and wellness.  The spell is available on the Wattpad.com website; I have posted the link on my Author Page in Facebook & on Twitter as well.

The second spell is "The Spell of the Black Witch Doll", also on Wattpad.  This spell is useful for eliminating or neutralizing an enemy.  Again, the spell is available via Facebook & Twitter.

I have two upcoming events. My essay “The Thelemic Big-Bang: Aleister Crowley, Frater Achad and the Expanding, Contracting Universe” (2016) is to be published in Behutet: Modern Thelemic Magick & Culture”, a magazine issued by the Thelesis Lodge O.T.O., 1627 N. 2nd Street, Suite 220, Philadelphia PA 19122.  "Behutet" is an epithet for the Egyptian winged sun-disk. The magazine focuses on magical techniques, occult history and Thelemic culture in a modern setting. 

I have also been invited to be a guest on Mysterious Matters, an award-winning paranormal podcast that discusses diverse topics such as ancient civilizations, conspiracy theories, space exploration, transhumanism, unidentified flying objects (UFOs), cryptids like Bigfoot and the Lochness Monster and religion culture such as Christianity, Hoodoo, and Wicca. The show is hosted by Bob Bain, and is produced in Nashville, Tennessee.

I will post the details and the links associated with the Behutet publication and the Mysterious Matters interview as soon as this information becomes available.

For the last year, I have been working on my third Master’s Degree.  I have been attending online classes at the American Military University, which is ranked in the top 12% of online universities in the US.  The Master’s Degree is in Education: Teaching (ME).

I am now eligible for acceptance in the PhD program at the University of Michigan-Flint. The PhD is in Education, with a concentration on Online Teaching.  My enrollment in the PhD program is guaranteed upon successful completion of my studies at AMU.

This autumn, I published a glog, “Cog AT: The Monster Behind the Mask,” which specifically critiques the Cog AT intelligence test as well as standardizing testing in general.  This glog has been described by an expert in the field of education as “visually & cognitively stimulating.” The glog can be found on Glogster.com.

In addition, I recently published a very potent spell for general use among occultists, pagans and magickal practitioners.  “The Spell of the Red Witch-Doll” can be used for creating love & romance between the magickal practitioner and any person whom the practitioner desires.   The spell can also be cast to promote generate health and wellness.  The spell is available online at the Wattpad.com website.
