The Witches interview musician and author, Rodney Orpheus, about his book: The Grimoire of Aleister Crowley: Group Magick Rituals. Orpheus talks about Crowley’s motivation for group rituals and debunks some of the more controversial myths about the magician. Plus, Orpheus shares some of his own personal experiences with group rituals and what to focus on if you are new to doing magick with others.
Rodney Orpheus was born in Northern Ireland, and in the past has lived in Germany and California. He currently lives in London, England.
For the past two decades years, Rodney has been well known as a musician and record producer, and has been involved with releasing dozens of records. He has also lectured frequently at colleges and music business events, where his ability to present highly technical matters in an entertaining, understandable style has made him very much in demand.
He still also occasionally gets time to play with The Cassandra Complex on stage and in the studio. He has recently published his second major book, Grimoire of Aleister Crowley.
Rodney has worked with many of the leading companies in the music instrument industry in the past years, most notably with WholeWorldBand, PreSonus, Steinberg, and DTS, as well as writing a regular monthly column for Computer Music magazine.
Rodney’s writing has been published in several anthologies and magazines, and he is a frequent editor on Wikipedia.
