About

My name is Philip and live in one of the most remotely-located nations on the Earth. My own practice primarily revolves around Chinese qigong, but with my ever increasing experiments over the past 18 years around what’s still broadly known as “chaos” magick and some degree of pagan-esque practises based upon to my own ancestry. I have a very specific interest in the application of upaya, to borrow from the Mahayana Buddhists.

The point of the online documents here are to detail things that may be of interest to others as well as serve as a goad to keep on with the work at hand, given this juncture of history with the Anthropocene in full gear. There is no impostor syndrome present here, as the bumbling naivety that sometimes will appear on these pages is quite real.

The title of the website comes from Twin Peaks and the degree in which owl’s feature in the series, as well as a bit of an ironic nod to the book by Mike Clelland, The Messengers: Owls, Synchronicity and the UFO Abductee.
