At The Mountains Of Madness (Part 3)

The trilogy is complete. Prepare to enter the third circle of Occult dementia. That means more spaced out explorations of the psychic wasteland that invoke the hidden power of the Old Gods. And a song about a tractor.

Casually littered with wigged out TV and Film samples, as always.

Listen on Mixcloud or wait for me dawdling to post an mp3.......

EDIT: Finally got the mp3 up. Grab it here.

Satanic Psychedelia

Here we have an hour long mix of Satanic Psychedelic music from the 60s and 70s. Its all stitched into one continuous track with field recordings of actual devil worship dusted down from my own personal Occult archives.



On a technical note, track 11 -Run to the Devil posed me a problem. All versions of it online seem to have been taken from the same damaged vinyl copy. Some have a horrible attempt at digital repair and one or two retain the original analogue scratch. I've gone for the analogue scrunge. It only occurs once and the digital "repair" is so horrible that I can't bear to hear it.

Apart fom that, set up your altar, imbibe your favourite hallucinogens and............ enjoy.

Get it here.

White Eagle Speaks

This is another one of my charity shop finds. It's some batty old woman apparently chanelling the spirit of "White Eagle" a Native American Chief.


There's a link below to mp3s of this wonky gem. Its a vinyl rip so expect some crackles and surface noise and possibly some EVPs.

Every Home Should Have One

The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion
I'm not going to embarrass myself by trying to write something insightful about this mighty tome, for one thing I haven't read it all. I prefer to dip in and read random bits when the mood takes me or use it as a reference for deciphering the occult activities that I occasionally encounter.

Like when my neighbours nailed a dead crow to my front door. Apparently it's not a good sign. I may well have been expelled from the circle.

But, yes, every home should have one, it's essential reading.

Glasgow's Secret Geometry

An Account of the Discovery of the Glasgow Network of Aligned Sites by Harry Bell
During the eighties amateur archaeologist Harry Bell discovered, catalogued and retraced Ancient Paleolithic Communication lines (Ley Lines). Convinced of their occult significance, he published his findings in an obscure pamphlet titled "Glasgow's Secret Geometry: The City's Oldest Mystery" (1984). One of his suggestions was that the Necropolis in Glasgows East End was a major convergance point for these lines and may well have been the site of a Druidic Temple dedicated to Moon worship.



Now Harry Bell's labour of love has become the starting point for an interactive website called "The Devil's Plantation"

Description from Head Heritage:-
It is partly an exploration of Harry Bell's pamphlet on Glasgow's geometry "Glasgow's Secret Geometry: The City's Oldest Mystery" (1984) which looks at connections between many ancient sites in and around Glasgow. But there is more... The filmmaker May Miles Thomas also draws in the story of a patient at Leverndale mental hospital who regularly absconded and would often be found at these sites. The patient never knew Harry Bell or of his pamphlet. She was in Leverndale mental hospital from the 1950's until the early 1990's. Psychogeography, mystery, ancient sites. The Devil's Plantation is a strange place to visit. navigation around the site is pretty straightforward and you can start where you left off each time you visit. 66 film clips and little panels of text draw you through the project.

The short films with their spooky soundracks are abstract mini portraits of each site. As you navigate round the site you are taken on a fractured journey round Glasgow, navigating the Paleolithic skeleton that lies underneath the city, poking into our world in unexpected places.
