Lon Milo DuQuette is one of the preeminent occult writers and speakers of modern times. His work spans the subjects of Tarot, ceremonial Magick, Qabalah, and religion. He injects insight, understanding, humanity, and humor into his work that makes it both enlightening and joyous.

"The Key to Solomon's Key: Secrets of Magic and Masonry" by Lon Milo DuQuette

Lon joins us to discuss his interest in the Thoth Tarot, Solomonic Magick, Qabalah, and his new book, “Accidental Christ - The Story of Jesus (As Told By His Uncle),” a work of historical religious fiction.

"Accidental Christ - The Story of Jesus (As Told By His Uncle)" by Lon Milo DuQuette

Our conversation also covers his research into the mythological King Solomon and the secrets of Masonry, a very humorous look at the occult correspondence of one “Stonehenge Equinox,” the importance of the contributions of Israel Regardie and the recently departed Dr. Christopher Hyatt, and the crucial concept of making life Magickal and not making Magick your life.

"The Chicken Qabalah of Rabbi Lamed ben Clifford" by Lon Milo DuQuette

The Quotable DuQuette:

“I can only change one thing with Magick - myself.”

“Do I think I’m a holy man? Sometimes.”

“It’s all in your head. You just have no idea how big your head is.”

“If we can’t wake up to the fact that deep down inside we are good, then we deserve to remain asleep dreaming we are evil.”

Vincent describes his path, including his membership in a religious cult and subsequent work as a cult deprogrammer, his business success, and interest in the occult, particularly the works of Aleister Crowley. We talk about how the idea for the “Abbey of Thelema” film came about, as well as the amazing circumstances that coalesced for the film to become reality. Perhaps it was something synchromystic?

Vincent also discusses many of the actors and musicians involved in the project and his plans for screening it.

As he says, the film is a “dark comedy” and it is sure to be very interesting. Check it out when you get the chance.
