Ian C. Edwards PhD

Dr. Edwards is a licensed psychologist and the author of “Being and Non-Being in Occult Experience Volume I: The Book of the Law” and “Being and Non-Being in Occult Experience Volume II: The Chiasmata of Austin Osman Spare” both published by Atramentous Press. He is also the author of “The Divine Hearth and Radical Hospitality” which appeared in PILLARS: A Wayfarer’s Heart (Vol. 2, Issue 3).

Dr. Edwards is also the Assistant Vice President of Student Wellbeing at Duquesne University. He describes his approach as “dialectical non-dualism”, where he infuses the act of writing with method and content, through a spiritual phenomenology that attempts to inscribe the sacred as a self-referential embrace that reconciles the psycho-spiritual spaces in which dualities and oppositions such as being and non-being, good and evil, self and other, are made manifest. Dr. Edwards reads occult texts using a method that combines grammatology with a participatory epistemology that explores and describes ontologies of deific forms.

Torn Letters of Otherness

Atramentous Press, Peter Hamilton-Giles, Ian C. Edwards PhD, Torn Letters of Otherness, Crooked Path, Topic: Sabbatic Witchcraft

This first volume, borne from ideas that came to light while communicating with each other, looks at the notion of absence and the first word to be spoken: the alogos. Largely in response to the work of Chumbley and Azoetia, the first word is commonly referred to as the announcement of Self: I.
