Dear left-hand path Sisters and Brothers of The Occult Corner,
Because it’s that time of year again, when people remember Santa Claus, I’d just like to take this precious, heartfelt moment to wish all of you a Very Satanic Yuletide! This year – like most years – I’ll be stoned and pissed, worshipping Kris Kringle in my own way.
And to all of you in cold, snowy (and so called) northern hemisphere countries, I’m experiencing a heatwave – close to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Yuletide for me is predicted to be rain, then humidity – so it’s just as well I’m stocked up in alcoholic spirits, high-grade, aged pipe tobaccos and a selection of fine gunja.
And again this year, like all years, I’ll be remembering that Frosty The Snowman melted for me that I would be saved by his waters.
So a big thankyou to all the Magicians here and a fucking brilliant 2026 to the lot of us!
Al.
