I am done with this platform. For updates on my publications and research you can find me on Instagram and Facebook instead.

NOW OUT IN ENGLISH! (In a lavish bibliophile edition of only 333 numbered copies, so act fast!) The Tree of Sacrifice comprises forty-four Swedish folk-Gothic tales, written by me and illustrated by artist Mimmi Strinnholm. egaeuspress.com/Tree_of_Sacrif…

Don’t miss THE COMPANY OF WOLVES on May 13, with a lecture on werewolves by me before the screening! Get your tickets at capitolbio.se

CALL FOR PAPERS! In cooperation with The East Asian Network For The Academic Study Of Esotericism, me and my colleague Kristoffer Noheden are organising a conference on esotericism and global visual culture in Tokyo, 5–6 October, 2024. Please share!

I’m giving an open lecture at Tokyo University on November 22. Everyone is welcome. Tell your Tokyo friends!

@FernandoPagnon3 Dr. Mattias Fyhr would be ideal! Has written the definitive two-volume work on Swedish horror.

@PerryTH1996 it's for a book about horror in the Baltic region and the author writing about Sweden had to leave the project. Contract with Wales Press for their Horror Studies line. Deadline for completed chapters end of November 2023. Original CFP (and email):call-for-papers.sas.upenn.edu/cfp/2022/10/11…

Dear colleagues: I have a vacancy in my edited collection on Baltic horror (with contract). I need a chapter of about 5-6,000 words on Swedish horror (film, literature, TV, folklore, video games, etc). Chapter for the end of November 2023. Anyone interested?

@profccferguson Indeed I do: Mattias Fyhr would be ideal! Has written the definitive two-volume work on Swedish horror.

@melinbelfast333 Never did give that particular talk in a mainly Catholic city before, but set it up and I’ll come try my luck…

Upcoming public lectures: August 26 – Lund 1923: ”Occult Silent Cinema” February 3 – Stockholms Länsmuseum: “Occult Photography” Want a lecture in your town? DM.

@FalkHjalmar En fet buk är ett tecken på andlig lättja, eller hur det nu var han formulerade det i nämnda bok.

(gör 100 sit-ups)

Många tänkare här som behöver höra dessa visa ord idag. 😉

Here’s a Kickstarter project worth supporting: An indispensable translation of the Satanic hoax to end all hoaxes, in English for the first time. Not to be missed by anyone interested in the occult, conspiracy theories, or bizarre jokes. kickstarter.com/projects/lazar…

This Thursday, I will give a talk before a screening of "The Black Cat" (1934) – a Lugosi & Karloff classic featuring Satanism, necrophilia, and an atmospheric Black Mass with Bauhaus decor. My talk will delve into the early history of Satanism. Tickets:capitolbio.se

Nu till hösten startar Södertörn ett religionsvetenskapligt program! Och det kommer att bli väldigt bra vågar jag lova, med engagerade spetskompetenta lärare och trevlig stämning. Tidigare studier går att tillgodoräkna. sh.se/nyheter/starts…

@AnnaAnouschka @ChSturmark @LarmVictoria Spännande! Och bra laguppställning!

Varmt välkomna till detta!! Man köper biljett via Cirkus.

Upcoming lectures: February 18 – Järfälla Konsthall: ”Double Trouble: Doppelgängers in Cultural History” February 22 – Jönköpings Länsmuseum: “The Occult Turn of the Century” March 8 – Linköpings Stifts- och landsbibliotek: “Esoteric Feminism” Want a lecture in your town? DM.

@AnnaAnouschka Att vara helt fri från alla typer av begär är att inte längre vara människa. Ett sådant helgontillstånd eller utslocknat nirvanatillstånd känns inte alls lockande. Lever hellre efter Pater: To burn always with this hard gemlike flame, to maintain this ecstasy, is success in life.

Apropå diskussionen om sex i DN så är jag tyvärr övertygad om att ökenfäderna hade rätt: man måste göra sig av med alla begär och passioner för att kunna bli fri.

@ravenlyght211 Yes, that is correct (due to where the funding comes from).

@PerFaxneld How interesting! Thank you! It states that the research must be related to the Baltic and Eastern European regions?

Apply for a fully funded Ph.D. candidate position in Study of religions at Södertörn University! Last day to apply is February 13. Esotericism-related projects are very welcome! Feel free to reach out to me with any questions, and to share this post.
