The Well of Galabes: Sex and Occultism, Part One: Mrs. Grundy and the Great God Pan

abwatt:

I think that Mr. John Michael Greer’s monthly column on the subject of magic, The Well of Galabes, deserves a wider audience. His column on peak oil, The Archdruid Report, already has such a following.  But Galabes doesn’t seem all that well-known yet.

In this month’s column, he discusses the role of the secret sex-magic cult in launching the modern-day occult revival.  Worth a read; there’s a great deal of historical context that I genuinely didn’t know until this afternoon.
