Psychosexual Reverberations: The Avant Garde Occultism of Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth (TOPY) with Carl Abrahamsson, Begins July 6
Four Week Class Taught Online Via Zoom
Sundays, July 6 - July 27 2025
1:00 - 2:30pm ET (NYC Time)
$100 Paid Patreon Members / $125 General Admission
PLEASE NOTE: Classes will be recorded and archived for students who cannot make that time
Between 1981 and 1991, the magical order/network TOPY changed the game of contemporary occultism. By bringing in other sources of information and inspiration than classic western esotericism, this loose network of psychonauts opened the floodgates with forces like Austin Osman Spare, William Burroughs, and Brion Gysin, and then integrated them into a system/anti-system of ritual and behavior. Stressing the inclusion of artistic creation, cut-ups, non-binary outlooks, psychedelic research, and an overall shamanic way of life, TOPY showed that an alternative to inert systems and teachings was actually possible.
Drawing from his own experiences of actively working with TOPY (as administrator of TOPYSCAN and also TOPYEUROPE) Carl Abrahamsson contextualizes the work, teachings and legacy of this radical think-tank-cum-occultural-generator.
Carl Abrahamsson is a Swedish author and filmmaker focused on occulture, creativity, and magic as a transformative power.
