Information About

Ramsey Dukes




In his youth, Snell enjoyed a series of Scholarship s. They brought him to Cambridge , where his writings on Austin Osman Spare and Magical Theory brought him into contact with the young Chaos Magic movement in the 1970s . He had been interested in the Occult before, but this comparatively rigorous and modern style of it, largely shaped by fellow scientist Peter Carroll , drew his special attention.

In 1977 , he performed a well-known, but very rarely attempted Ritual called the Abramelin Operation .

Since 1972 he has written and published several books noted for their impact on late 20th century Magick , and humor. The ones most often referred to may be ''SSOTBME - An Essay on Magic'' (1974) and ''Thundersqueak''(1978). ''Words Made Flesh'' ((1987) is written from a more philosophical point of view and notable for its original outline of the "information model" Magic Theory that our universe could be a virtual reality - as later explored in The Matrix. It is an example of the author's ongoing studies in the relationship between magic and Rationalism .

Dukes has worked on the subject of magic with diverse associates including the Ordo Templi Orientis and Illuminates Of Thanateros .
