Everything is set up to protect the abuser and what that means is that we all conspire to help the abuser not face the implications of his abuse. We all protect the abuser emotionally so one of the ways Hakim Bey gets protected is by other Anarchists overlooking the small infringements in advocating the "beauty" of a man loving a boy. That is a power dynamic that was also advocated by that creep Daniel Carleton Gadjusek (or GadjuSICK, as I see it). [ https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1996-04-09-1996100049-story.html ]

As someone who had been repeatedly targeted by older men, it's just something I feel strongly about.

I think similar parallels can be found with this, and the way fascist ideas get dripped into certain genres of music, notable neo-folk and some black metal, for example. These ideas, placed in a milieu where not everyone who is listening to it is aware of what they are doing then get normalized. (See here the music of Death In June and others. Here is a good article:
https://datacide-magazine.com/from-subculture-to-hegemony-transversal-strategies-of-the-new-right-in-neofolk-and-martial-industrial/

I see Bey/PLW in a similar way. He mixed in some ideas many would not really agree with, inside a form that was more digestible. So when the young kids came over to his TAZ, they might not have realized there were some ulterior motives. I was one of those people, and then had to do a double-take, re-reading what I had previously read.

Still, I'll raise a glass of lemonade to his memory.

You can read this flowery obituary for yourself about this “eccentric.” Online it is but a footnote that as “Hakim Bey,” his pseudonym, he endorsed adults having sex with children. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Lamborn_Wilson:

“Some writers have been troubled by Bey’s endorsement of adults having sex with children.[24] Michael Muhammad Knight, a novelist and former friend of Wilson, stated that “writing for NAMBLA amounts to activism in real life. As Hakim Bey, Peter creates a child molester’s liberation theology and then publishes it for an audience of potential offenders”[25] and disavowed his former mentor.[26]“

I have heard from a number of readers over the years about Peter Lamborn Wilson/Hakim Bey and what they wrote would not fit well into the flowery obituary or even the Wikipedia version of this “eccentric,” or certainly into the idea that this man’s sexual practices were “imaginal only.” Nice try.

The Grey Council
“I am Grey. I stand between the candle and the star. We are Grey. We stand between the darkness and the light.“ --Delenn, B5, before the Grey Council, in “Babylon Squared“

”The Grey Council” is the legendary Council of Wizards, Mages & Sages which has been a recurring theme through many tales and histories of Magick and Wizardry. The ”Grey” in the name connotes both the notion of encompassing all shades of magick (rather than just black and white), as well as the grey in our hair and beards that would seem to be a requisite for the experience and wisdom we are expected to bring to this Council!

Membership in the Grey Council is not fixed, but varies according to the projects and work we are doing together at any one time. At this point in history, there are more Wizards and Wise Women alive and practicing than ever before. I cannot possibly begin to list all. The following members of the Grey Council are not just elders of the magickal community; we are also all teachers and mentors.

10. Clear is the color of Mathemagicks and number craft, reflecting the transparency with which all creation is suffused with magickal formulae—underlying everything, but invisible to all but the imagination.

11. White is the color of Ceremonial Magick, as it is used for all types of ceremonies and rituals. The color of purity, white represents friendship, the Moon, Monday, infancy and the sign of Aries. Crystal white is the color of sincerity, divinity, transformation and singular focused sounds such as a gong or bell. White is also the color of The Goddess, and so used in all forms of blessings.

12. Grey is the color of Lore & Bardic Arts, knowledge, and wisdom. Like Indigo, Grey is particularly associated with Wizardry, as it is neither black nor white, and indeed encompasses all colors while being none of them.

13. Black is the color of the Defensive and “Dark Arts,” relating to constricting, binding and Saturnian energies. As the color of night, black represents foreboding, fortitude, and consistency because of the need to “make it through the darkness.” Black is sometimes used as a protective color for magickal tools—especially handles and wrappings. It is also used when trying to banish a bad habit, turn negativity, or make drastic life changes.

Luc Sala (1949-) Mage of Amsterdam, holds office in the Kalvertower at his MySTeR temple of kindness. He has been very visible in the ‘mundane world’ with his own television channel and many activities in the computer world, but also roams the ‘other worlds’ under the name of Lucifar. He believes that “a bit is only information if it bytes” and that the science of magick is about investigating what really touches us. Information is beyond mere data, even beyond the concept of transmitting a message, it is when we open ourselves up to that magical realm of connectedness. The world we experience is just superficially governed by the laws of causality and reason; at a deeper level the laws of magick rule. Luc sees the revival of magick and the acceptance of the consciousness dimension(s) as the major work for this century. sala@euronet.nl
