Praise for
Pop Magick

George Noory , Host of Coast to Coast AM
We live in dangerous times. We are all subject to unseen forcessocial, technological, biologicalthat have programmed and conditioned us, like Pavlovs dogs, to behave without thinking. The way out of this maze is difficult. Pop Magick is an exciting and unconventional attempt to help us all deprogram, through methods culled from primal sources in magic and alchemy. This in the tradition of people like Gurdjieff and Colin Wilson, the tradition of trying to wake us up from our slumber. You have nothing to lose but your chains.

Magick is back. Alex Kazemi not only deftly translates but passionately recontextualizes the power of life-as-sigil for a new generation of practitioners. It may not be an easy path, but Kazemi sure has made it accessible."
Douglas Rushkoff
A modern, hip, no-nonsense approach to magick rooted in consciousness, and changing the self, and the world, for the better. Practical and esoteric, serious and funny, Pop Magick is an alchemical paradox designed to show you a new way of seeing and being in the world that will defy ordinary expectations.
Christopher Penczak, Author and Co-Founder of the Temple of Witchcraft
There was Bob Dylan and his surrealist voice under helium back in 1965, you will soon have Alex Kazemi and his poetic visions intravenously
Mirwais
Pop Magick is edgy, transparent, and empowering. Its a real world look at how to start breaking out of the Matrix, or as Alex Kazemi calls it, The Simulation. Its how real magick can be used for good in our lives today, and in service to others lives who we touch. Its a beginners guidebook on how to get started with living a more magical life. Its written in a very hip and fun way that directly addresses social trends in the 21st century, by a millennial for millennials on how to be an influencer in todays counter-culture and pop culture, to help steer the course of creating a better world.

Welcome to a new magickal age. The age of pop magick.
If you are ready to learn how to bend yourself and bend reality through the practical applications of magick, then its time for you to get weird and dive deep into the infinite otherworld.
Pop magick is magick for us, the people. Its not something to be kept secret. Pop magick is for those who feel we are all magickal beings currently navigating the human experience. Deep down in our souls we know there is more than what we have been taught by society, that the mystical forces around us are filled with purpose and possibility. Pop magick is for anyone who wants to engage those energies moving through the astral plane and collaborate with them in our own journeys through this temporal existence.
Magick is not about adhering to dogma or defining yourself through aesthetics or binaries. Its about doing and practicing. Its about action. Its about performing ritual experiments and producing results. Its about recharging and expanding your freedom. Its about exploration and discovery. Its about knowing you have the power to change yourself and to change reality, to influence events by channeling the energies inside of you outward, with intention. Practicing magick is all about your natural ability to access your will to bring order to chaos. The more results you produce, the more you will find yourself living a magickal life.
Magick becomes what you choose to make of it by inviting it into your life. When you open yourself up to magick, you are opening yourself up to the universe and its limitless potential to impact your life in ways that are substantive and positive.
Magick is within your grasp, available to access right now. All it takes is your will and commitment. There is no right or wrong way to do magick, no good or bad way to practice it. You are the one who builds your bridge to the astral plane, establishing your own rules and guidelines along the way. The process of discovering your true self and divine will begins and ends with you.
