From world famous occultist Phil Hine comes this amazing collection of esoteric essays. Divided thematically into sections -- Chaos Magic, Tantra, Sexualities, Practice, Paganisms, Histories, and Fiction -- each section is prefaced by new autobiographical writings in which the author reflects on the early beginnings of his magical path, and how his perspectives have changed over time. With content ranging from explorations of esoteric practice, magical sexuality and independent scholarship, Hines Varieties offers a unique window into the life and spiritual journey of a master magician.

Prime Chaos continues the exposition of the fastest-growing school of modern occultism--Chaos Magic. The author presents simple, yet effective techniques for becoming proficient in practical magic, including an exhaustive breakdown of the possibilities offered by ritual magic, sorcery, invocation, possession and evocation. The resurgence of interest in magic has led to a new interest in magical groups, and Phil Hine brings a wealth of experience in groups to an exploration of the advantages --and disadvantages--of working magic with other people. Prime Chaos also explores some of the lighter --and darker --aspects of modern occultism, and presents new ideas for developing magical techniques for the 21st Century.

Condensed Chaos provides a practical introduction to Chaos Magic, one of the fastest growing areas of Western Occultism. Through it you can change your circumstances, live according to a developing sense of personal responsibility, effect change around you, and stop living as a helpless cog in some clockwork universe. All acts of personal/collective liberation are magical acts. Magic leads us into exhilaration and ecstasy; into insight and understanding; into changing ourselves and the world in which we participate. Through magic we may come to explore the possibilities of freedom.

What is Queerying Occultures? 'Queerying' is a portmanteau word from 'Queer' and 'Query'-classic Phil Hine word play. Occulture is another portmanteau word meaning 'Hidden Culture' (from 'Occult' and 'Culture'). The occult is Queer. Historically. Intrinsically. Radically. Wonderfully Queer. Yet at times this essential fact can feel unacknowledged in wider Occulture dialogues. Addressing this, Phil Hine's Queerying Occultures is a collection of queer-themed essays exploring, questioning and reflecting on the diverse trajectories that might arise from applying queer questioning to occultural themes and practices. Drawing on perspectives from Queer Theory, history, Continental Philosophy, and shared experience, Hine explores subjects as diverse as Shamanism and gender-variance; the rise of the Queer Pagan approaches; the uncomfortable history of occult homophobia; Queer perspectives on Tantra, Pan, Sacred Spaces, and Crowley in Boy Bar Berlin. This far-reaching, necessary book is both a celebratory resistance text and indispensable investigation of the Queer in Occulture.
