THE DIVERGENT MAGICK GRIMOIRE ∴ A Magickal Workbook by Revel Rosz ∴ PRAGMAGICK
2024-02-01
"From PRAGMAGICK creator and perpetual fuck up, Revel Rosz, comes the Divergent Magick Anarchic Grimoire. A workbook that offers a framework to create, construct, disrupt, and rejuvenate the rites and rituals that form your personal lore. It's Divergent because it doesn't adhere to a single current, reflecting the diverse nature of each person's individuation process. Additionally, it's divergent because the creator is a neurodivergent schemer, always seeking to merge the pragmatic with the magical. The grimoire's 40-plus ritual cycles encompass metaphysical frameworks for various aspects, be it artistic projects, health habits, or creating/deconstructing magickal rituals. Each rite cycle can delve into the neurotic details of a single step, making the grimoire a major rite in itself! The only rule: customize everything! Let this tool assist your anarchic praxis in ritualising the mundane, echoing the profane, and resonating with sacred rites that shape your personal lore. Hardbacks and paperbacks are available on Amazon. Contact PRAGMAGICK-(at)-Gmail-dot-com to be part of the grimoire's own deconstruction and rebirth!"
After years of working with Eric Millar and his We The Hallowed Press bouts of independent publishing, I decided I would take a stab at creating custom, blank journals—largely for myself and my endless need of scribble books. I designed a blank journal with PragMagick’s Austin Osman Spare Planchette insignia, only the image on the cover, but needed to publish it to the public to get my discounted author copies, so I pummeled through the annoying minutiae of listing it for sale to a general audience. I knew how niche and specific these designs were, and had no expectation about them selling. The simple praxis of self-publishing these wholly custom journals got me itchy about all the publishing projects from the early We The Hallowed era. Hell, even Revelator Rosz, my rebirthed moniker reinvigorated by the Prospectre Ritual, is still listed as an author to the first ever We The Hallowed zine.
Dissolving the internal dissonance I’ve felt with We The Hallowed as a magickal apparatus of late, echoing its ethos of anarchic revelries of shared metaphysical creations, and finally, resounding in the thirdscene of both made new—allowed me to construct this anarchic grimoire, this workbook, this rubric for user-created ritual construction.
PURCHASE HARDBACK VIA AMAZON: https://a.co/d/ck9mfZz THE ANARCHIC SCHEMAThe Grimoire is simple. The book gives space for the aspects of a rite, it gives space for the ruminations and visitations of a rite’s attempts, space to catalogue a personal sigil alphabet, and, most importantly, it introduces the “Disolver Eco Resonar” method to assist in ritual ruination, reconstruction and rebirth of all of the above. This very chapter of the Haunt Manual was guided by this D E R method—as the Spectre of 2017 dissolves, the Aspectre of a thought lost self echoes, and the resonance of these workings haunt on through the Prospectre of self and future works…
My aims of this Grimoire are threefold: 1) To hone and construct my own ritual processes within an organized schema 2) To have this become the backbone for a resurgence in community driven magicks 3) To deconstruct & rebirth new schema for updated volumes.
My hope is that the Divergent Magick Anarchic Grimoire is not only found useful for neuro-divergent and neuro-typical minds alike, but also inspires a community of sharing these anarchic recipes for life in the form of their custom rituals. Perhaps this tome can become the tool to discover the constants, to discover the inherent. Perhaps this is vessel for the intentionally customizable scripture of this self-styled art-religon’s “Tethers?” We shall see.
Notes on terminology From Elena (SorcerersHomie):
- Praxis: Rite, ritual, practice, cycle.
- Tethers: Additional notes that don't entirely belong to the other sections of the praxis.
- Intention: Succinctly articulated objective of the praxis.
- Spectres: [Note to self] Go read Keats' entry on this as well as the following. These are external or internal contacts—deities, spirits, intelligences, saints, notions i.e., "certain musicians' pathos," etc., with whom you wish to parlay your intentions.
- Talismans: Physical objects to be utilized in the rite. These may be tools for some specific purpose or items used symbolically toward the aims of sympathetic magic.
- Invo/evocation Sequence: A distillation of the rite's sequence into nine distinct steps. For best results, they should be comprehensible to a second person.
- Sigil: A symbolized representation of the praxis (via the usual means).
- Declarations: The praxis' "prayers, chants, decrees, etc." or the song's lyrics, mission statement, etc. The text of the rite.
- Observations: "Note the conditions within and outside the self. A micro mindfulness meditation to break you away from the fervor of craft creation."
- 1 Month Later: Reflections after a month.
- Disolver: Admissions of obstacles to the rite's work that should be resolved. I think of these as "the trees," as in, "can't see the forest for the trees." Keats writes: "Dissolve them to see past [them]" in this section.
- Eco: "What do you need to keep performing? These are actions; these are movements. Roar the elements that worked to have them amplified and repeat!" Josephine [McCarthy] always reminds us patterning strengthens ritual actions. Knowing this, what actions will you repeat in future?
- Resonar: "A revelatory whim materializes. [...] What is it you hope wallows and lingers on from the praxis?" What epiphanies from the praxis process our outcome will you carry with you? What do you want to ring out in perpetuity? K also adds: "Haunt • Emanate • Unify • Resolve." Many potential meanings to Resonar.
