RU358: CARL ABRAHAMSSON ON LEGACY OF HORROR, THE FENRIS WOLF, AN ART APART, ANTON LAVEY & OCCULTURE: https://renderingunconscious.substack.com/p/ru358-carl-abrahamsson-on-legacy

Rendering Unconscious episode 358.

This episode is a special collaboration between Rendering Unconscious and The Fenris Wolf podcast! https://thefenriswolf.substack.com

This conversation between Carl Abrahamsson and Vanessa Sinclair reveals a rich dialogue between two collaborators deeply engaged in exploring the intersections of occult culture, psychoanalysis, and contemporary society. Carl discusses his long-running project, The Fenris Wolf, which he has been publishing since 1989 as a journal dedicated to what he terms "occulture" - the fascinating intersection where occult practices meet and influence mainstream culture. Now in its 12th issue with a 13th forthcoming, the project has evolved to include a Substack newsletter that provides more frequent content including book reviews, current affairs, and recorded teachings. Carl emphasizes how underground cultural movements gradually permeate and transform mainstream society, a process he has witnessed and participated in for over three decades.

Looking ahead, Carl has two significant classes planned through Morbid Anatomy.
