Peter J Carroll

“The most original, and probably the most important, writer on Magick since Aleister Crowley."
Robert Anton Wilson, author of the Cosmic Trigger trilogy.

Peter Carroll began his career in Magic at London University where the Chemistry proved so tedious that he settled on a pass degree in that and an unauthorized first in Magic, with Liber Null & Psychonaut emerging as his postgraduate thesis over the next several years whilst teaching high school science.

He then set off around the world wandering in the Himalayas, building boats in India and Australia and seeking out unusual people.

Then after a stay in Yorkshire, he headed back to the Himalayas for a while again before returning to settle in the west of England to found a family and a magical order. Appalled by the compromises made by so many magi to make a living out of their writing or teaching, Carroll decided to make his fortune with a natural products business so that he could write and teach only what had value and interest for him.

He maintains a personal website at specularium.org and acts as Chancellor to Arcanorium College arcanoriumcollege.com.

  • Past Grandmaster of the Magical Pact of the Illuminates of Thanateros

  • Chancellor of Arcanorium College

  • Acting Marshall, Knights of Chaos

  • A Bard of Dobunni Grove

For many years until the time of Pete’s death in April 2026, he was the Chancellor and sole remaining tutor of Arcanorium College; mentoring, and examining the progression of students through the course materials detailed below. 

To date, the Bachelor of Magic degree has been completed and awarded to two students. Many embark on this venture, some persist, few complete.
Posthumously Pete is still receiving several requests per week to commence studies within the college, and while he may now be in receipt of ultimate confirmation of the workings of the universe, email response is likely to be unavailable until suitable reincarnation has been established and sufficiently developed.

Enquiries are being made to see if the college may continue under the auspices of other magi. This page will be updated and existing students notified if the opportunity is established. The Bachelor of Magic course materials will remain available on this site indefinitely for those wishing to pursue the course independently.
