TIME FOR MAGIC

A Shamanarchist’s Guide to the Wheel of the Year

Jamie Reid, Stephen Ellcock and Philip Carr-Gomm

Punk meets druidry in this incredible exploration of the pagan Wheel of the Year. This is the first trade edition of Jamie Reid’s art in many years, the images selected and introduced by Stephen Ellcock. Philip Carr-Gomm writes about the eight seasonal celebrations of the Wheel of the Year and how we can live better by observing them. These festivals – the equinoxes, solstices, Imbolc, Beltane, Lughnasadh and Samhain – are observed not just by practising pagans, but also by hundreds of thousands of people with an interest in connecting with nature and old ways of being. Much of Jamie Reid’s work expressed his radical environmentalist ideas; he was also an honorary Druid and his great-uncle was George Watson Macgregor-Reid, the Chief Druid who was responsible for putting Stonhenge at the heart of the summer solstice celebrations.

JAMIE REID is best known for his work with the Sex Pistols. His art is to be found in the V&A, the Tate, MOMA and many other places.

STEPHEN ELLCOCK is a curator and the bestselling author of All Good Things, The Cosmic Dancer and England on Fire.

PHILLIP CARR-GOMM is a former Chief Druid of OBOD and the author of The Book of English Magic.

The SuperluminAL Universe

Redefining Consciousness, Time and Space

Régis Dutheil & Brigitte Dutheil

Thanks to the development of particle accelerators, physicists can propel particles (tachyons) at a speed close to that of light, where the laws that govern our universe no longer apply. Professor Dutheil’s work has shown that the theory of relativity is not incompatible with that of tachyons, as long as we allow for the possibility of a double reality: that alongside our sub-luminous universe, following the law of time, is a superluminous universe. Here it is possible to conceive of a being moving from one end
of space to the other.

This thesis joins the intuitions of ancient philosophers with quantum physics and can blow our current notions of time and death out the water. The author goes on to describe many strange and supernatural events that can be explained using this astounding concept.

PROFESSOR REGIS DUTHEIL was a quantum physicist and consciousness researcher who taught at Poitiers University. He was a joint Director of the Louis de Broglie Physics Foundation in Paris. His daughter Brigitte is also an academic.
