Ep. 224: Meetings with Remarkable Magicians & Life in the Occult Underground With Carl Abrahamsson


Listen Later

Join us for an extraordinary conversation with Carl Abrahamsson as he unveils his latest book, Meetings with Remarkable Magicians: Life in the Occult Underground. In this episode, Abrahamsson takes us through his journey into the world of magic, weaving together encounters with legendary occult figures and reflections on his own path through mysticism. Drawing from decades-old diaries, archives, and forgotten experiences, he reveals how these influences have shaped not just his practice but also his worldview.

Abrahamsson discusses his start in the Ordo Templi Orientis in the late '80s, early studies of Crowley, and the allure—and eventual disillusionment—with structured magical orders. He explores the tension between hierarchy and personal empowerment in occult circles, offering a critique of charismatic systems that tend toward cult-like rigidity. We dive into his transformative experiences with traditions like the Golden Dawn and his views on the recent surge of interest in the occult amid societal crises.

From reclaiming individual agency to building authentic spiritual connections, Abrahamsson shares a deeply personal perspective on the evolution of magic. Tune in for a rare glimpse into the life of a modern-day magician and discover why he believes individuation, rather than dogma, is the heart of the Western esoteric tradition.
