The Father of Future Ritual and Meta-Magick

Our Guest this week is one of the true Luminaries of The Work who is not merely rehashing and repackaging the traditional Lore, but is expanding our tools and techniques. His work is prolific and of the highest caliber. Wizards of the Future, view his contribution in the same manner as we do that of Agrippa, Paracelsus, Levi, Isaac the Blind, P.B.Randolph, Paul Foster Case, Regardie, and Fortune. We are honored to have as our Guest today; Phil Farber. Phil Farber is a postmodern magician who conceived the future of initiatory ritual. Part of a revolutionary cabal that includes Robert Anton Wilson, Genesis P-Orridge, Laurence Galian, Peter J, Carroll, Phil Hine, and Antero Alli, Farber has updated Aleister Crowley's definition of magic ("the art and science of causing change in conformity with Will") for the contemporary environment. His unique and humorous synthesis enables the individual to manifest hidden desires, discover their True Will, and experience Mastery of the Self.1 Farber is the author of “FUTURERITUAL: Magick for the 21st Century, a manual of neurological exploration”. His articles on magick and popular culture have appeared in Green Egg Magazine, The Journal of Hypnotism, Hypnosis Today, Mondo 2000, High Times, Paradigm Shift, and other unique publications and web sites. Phil is a Certified Hypnotherapist and a Licensed Trainer of Neuro-linguistic Programming, with a private practice in New York's Mid-Hudson Valley.2 Farber is most recently the co-author with Douglas Rushkoff of “Meta-Magick: The Book of ATEM: Achieving New States of Consciousness Through NLP, Neuroscience and Ritual.” This volume along with “The Book of Exhilaration and Mastery,” also by Farber may indeed form the cornerstone of a new training Paradigm for Magi. Master Farber has graciously put up a YouTube video; “Meta-Magick: Entity Modeling, Part One,” introducing these materials.
