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.

UPDATE 24th April 2014.The Esotericon and Portals of Chaos has landed! https://www.specularium.org/the-esotericon-portals-of-chaos

To celebrate the Midwinter Solstice Matt Kaybryn and I have released into the public domain the website for the forthcoming Esotericon and Portals of Chaos which we will publish early in 2014. Try the  link: -

Our four years of Herculean labour nears completion, we have found a printer of sufficiently high quality to do justice to the artwork in the Esotericon and in the accompanying Portals deck of altarpiece sized cards.

The contents appear here: -

Two additional appendices will also appear giving the geomantic key to the Octaris and an addendum to The Octavo.

 

We shall also make the work available through specialist esoteric bookshops and online. Details to follow.
