Wasn't sure if this should go into the gathering? Anyway thought Secret Chief meeting next month would be quite interesting to Barbe people, you want details? -

Wednesday 5th June
8pm
Princess Louis Pub, High Holborn
(Holborn Tube)

Secret Chiefs / Talking Stick

Talk from Steve Wilson
"Chaos Magick and the Occult roots of Star Trek / Star Wars"

I'm going to go along, anyone else up for it?

Bear

13:32 / 24.05.02

Alright screw you guys I'm going home and I'm taking my ball with me !! I'm getting some ignore paranoia now

Trijhaos

14:38 / 24.05.02

Don't go. Nobody's ignoring you.

It sounds like it'd be interesting. Too bad I'm on a completely different continent.

Do you think you could take notes and post them somewhere. Or better yet, get a tape recorder and upload the talk somewhere.

Bear

14:44 / 24.05.02

I'm sure I'll be able to remember the just of the talk, I just thought more people would be interested. There might even be a chance to see some chaos magick celebs like um Phil Hine, actually I don't know if he still goes but you know chaos magick/star wars/lager

Trijhaos

14:59 / 24.05.02

It's 4:30 or so on a Friday afternoon. I suppose everybody is getting ready for a wild night of binge drinking.

It does sound interesting. I really don't see any kind of connection between Star Wars and Chaos Magick specifically. Unless you consider that Lucas took a little bit of myth from a bunch of different countries and tossed it into a pot. Oh...well thats kind of like Chaos Magick, isn't it?

Bear

15:08 / 24.05.02

Yeah lousy chaos drunks

I think it'll be more about occult links in Star Wars. The force? the burning of Vaders body - Luke facing Darth in the woods all that kinda thing....

Cheers Trijhaos ...

I'll be there.

I vote for any kind chap to make a brief summary.

May the force of lager be with you.

cusm

17:56 / 24.05.02

Indeed. Please post what brain fodder you can from it. That sounds like a great time

that

18:42 / 24.05.02

Me might go. Long overdue to go to one of these things, and the SF angle gives it that little bit of extra pulling power. Yeah, count me in.

21:29 / 24.05.02

I'm ignoring you. Feel the delightful pain of my Ignore Ray and- oooh, look! Sciffy! inna pub!

I'm there. I hope.

Shortfatdyke

23:10 / 24.05.02

this looks rather good. do we need tix?

i'll be there with my (t)rusty notebook and pen.

Rev. Wright

Bear: Will Nathan be attending?

captain piss

02:05 / 25.05.02

ahhh bear, I'd forgotten about these evenings- very interesting indeed, usually. I'm gonna try and go

Bear

09:21 / 27.05.02

Nice one, I should remember everyone I met, if not I'm the one with the old style Beckam hair (restarted the mohawk

)

Will, not sure about Nathan doubt it he seems to be really busy with his book...

mondo a-go-go

11:10 / 27.05.02

i'd go, if it wasn't wilson.

our very own bill posters did a good talk on willhelm reich last year.

Bear

13:42 / 28.05.02

Can anyone give me some instructions to get to the pub? Is it nearbly Holburn tube?

Anyone have a map link?

Shortfatdyke

13:51 / 28.05.02

the pub is on high holborn, going towards new oxford st/tott court road, about 30 seconds walk from holborn tube. can't do map links in this new fangled barbelith, i'm afraid.

Bear

14:12 / 28.05.02

Thats cool though if its near the tube I should be able to find it - thanx.

The Mr E suprise

17:43 / 28.05.02

By utter chance I'd already arranged to be there.

Cool, see you all there soon

Bear

08:56 / 29.05.02

I'm guessing everyone but me realised that this in on the 5th and not tonight as I thought, what a muppet I am...

Shortfatdyke

09:59 / 29.05.02

since you posted the original details, including the date, yes you *are* a muppet, bearo!!

Bear

11:20 / 31.05.02

Yup a regular Kermit...

Dunno if the London people saw but I posted another message on the Gathering about a party tonight, maybe you saw but your not interested but I think the Gathering sometimes gets missed anyone its a rave (do people still use that word?) with some magick minded people, sigils flying around to trance music in laser format if anyone is interested...

Shortfatdyke

06:25 / 05.06.02

thought i'd bump this to the top to remind folks that it's on tonight.

see you there.

Bear

15:14 / 05.06.02

I'm going to go after work, its a waste of time getting soaked just to go home for half an hour, so if anyone is there a little early look for the guy with the 2 white stripes on his top......

See everyone later.

Bill Posters

15:36 / 05.06.02

You've spilled two white stripes all over your top already?! Prolly for the best, that's stuff's poison. I'll be there about 8.00. Cyas then.

Bear

08:03 / 06.06.02

So did anyone go then? I thought I recognized a few people but I wasn't too sure, I asked someone after the talk if they were from Barbelith but they said no, but the person they were with was - but he'd just left

Anyway I enjoyed it, Star Wars and the tarot pretty interesting.

09:48 / 06.06.02

A pile of utter shit, tenuous and abstract at best, his conclusions based on the flimsiest of evidence, a case of nailing unrelated points together and crow-baring occult references in were there was none. Unimpressed to say the least, "the magicians hand works on it's own, ha ha! 'Hand Solo'!" -rubbish...

Shortfatdyke

10:03 / 06.06.02

unfortunately i didn't make it due to pmt otherwise i would have sought fellow barbefolk out.

if gozer's account is anything to go by, it was a bit of a let down, then?

bear - where did you find out about this? would like to go along to this kind of stuff if i could find details.

Rev. Wright

10:16 / 06.06.02

From what I understadn Sight and Sound magazine printed an article about Star Wars and the Tarot several years ago. From what I am told it used Vladimir Propp's Universality of Narrative to key in the Tarot narrative and characters.

Bear

10:38 / 06.06.02

Well I quite enjoyed sorry you didn't like it gozer, I just thought it was a bit of a laugh, sci-fi nerd stuff - very cheesy but I wasn't really expecting much more.

So where were you sitting gozer?

sfd I heard about through another site, I got a flyer from them last night the next one is on the 19th and its called "The Cthulhu Mythos As A Practical Magical System" if thats anyones cup of tea...

angel

10:49 / 06.06.02

I turned up very briefly at 8pm.

Didn't recognise anyone, was exhausted due to haveing left work about 10 mins before that and soaked to the skin. So I wasn't really in the head space to meet new people, so I went home.

I probably looked right through people and failed to recognise them.

Sorry. Nothing personal.

Can someone let us know when the next one is, and if enough people want to head on down then I would be happy to come along.

Ciao for now

angel

10:50 / 06.06.02

Doh, didn't see Bear's message above.

I am a dufus! Beat me now!

gozer the destructor

11:00 / 06.06.02

Came in a bit late, stood near the door, was the one who said "fuck it, let's just watch the film" when he put the video on. Bill was there as well, sat in the middle.

that

13:01 / 06.06.02

Didn't make it in the end... Something better came up.
