So yea, Dane’s apprenticeship with Tom could be re-titled the Teachings of Tom o Bedlam, a Hobo way of knowledge.Īnd there’s war afoot. Feeds the kid strange fungi or lichen, which does not actually exist, puts Dane into a place where he’s going to meet the aliens and finally takes Dane to jump off of a cliff, or skyscraper in this case, a leap of faith, from which Dane of course fears he will die, but the old sorcerer tells him he’ll survive and have magickal powers. I mean it about the Castaneda connection.īefore their time together is over, Tom o’ Bedlam teaches the boy how a sorcerer sneaks past death–teaching the same formula, or concept at least, that Don Juan Teaches Castaneda in the Eagles Gift. And the old man called himself Tom O’ Bedlam…I don’t think he was trying to convince anyone that he was normal or sane. The kid, Dane McGowan acted snotty, crass and immature and was slow to grasp his mentors teachings, quick to call the old man crazy. Like Don Juan, teaching Carlos Castaneda. The punk kid was taken in by a homeless wizard, who took him down into the tunnels beneath London, fed him some luminescent fungi and introduced the kid the Aliens and to his own psychic abilities. The Invisibles were anti-establish, punk rock, sex, psychedelics and everything cool. The facility was run by the Outer Church, the rescuers were the Invisibles. It started out with a punk kid getting broken out of a juvenile detention facility. Bought up all 7 or 8 graphic novel collections, read them multiple times, and made sure my closest friends read them too. Cancer, child abuse, humiliation and atrocity, them Archons just gobble that stuff up. The other group, the Outer Church, is in service of the Archons, dark, sleazy, insectoid aliens, and wants humanity enslaved, degraded and ashamed. One group, the zany discordians known as the Invisibles wants humanity to be free. On the surface, the Invisibles tells us of two ancient secret societies, long at war against each other. I paraphrase, but he basically said that if you study the Illuminati long enough, you eventually find yourself within the Illuminati *perhaps this effect is explained by another thing RAW once said. They were kind of giving us the news as it happened, whereas the Invisibles, cited a a main influence by the Wachowskis, predicted the future, the Matrix just provided one description of that future–after we already were living within it. But then, the Pandeamaeon was already upon us by the time the Wachowski brothers (now sisters) gave us their vision of darkened vision of Archontic victory over all life. Haven’t you noticed–we are living in the world predicted by the Invisibles–and by Shea and Wilson before that. ![]() That may be the subject of another post however–how Illuminatus works seem to become real*. The present author has experienced this effect as well. RAW has said similar, about the Historical Illuminatus! Chronicles. This is a common theme, in Illuminatus! fiction. Morrison has called the Invisibles a meta-sigil and claimed that material from the comic books began leaking out into the physical world of daily life. Chaos magick, Discordianism, HPL, Illuminatus!–the 23 current. In occult circles it would be considered part of the 23 current. The work Invisibles is a sprawling epic, spanning years of monthly publication. Today we are looking at a seminal classic within the emerging genre, the Invisibles. The genre, Illuminatus FIction, has been slow to emerge, slowly gathering more writers. Grant Morrison’s masterpiece of serial graphic fiction, the Invisibles, is quite well known and loved on it’s own and also as a continuance of the tradition started in the Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Wilson and Robert Shea. ![]() It’s hard to call it new, since it dates back to at least the 70’s. So a new genre of speculative fiction has slowly been emerging. ![]() Grant Morrison, the Invisibles and Illuminatus Fiction This will be helpful, in setting down the concepts and themes and defining just what differentiates Illuminatus Fiction, from Weird Fiction, and if indeed there is any real distinction. So, since the term Illuminatus Fiction has been officially coined, I figured I’d take it upon myself to create reviews for some of the notable works within the genre. ![]()
