Swen Brandy (CARNIVORE) BerlinConcepter/Photographer/Artist/Kink-Educator

Swen Brandy is a 45-year-old photographer and artist from Germany. In his playshootings, he combines BDSM scenarios with photography, often resulting in personal challenges and intense experiences for the models. In 2020, he began creating short films and clips in addition to his photography work, and publishes them under the label Carnividz. Aside from his shootings, he works as a graphic designer/Art Director and passes on his knowledge on body and mind work as a kink educator.

About PlayshootingYour mind is your challenge

For me photography means primarily working with a person, instead of just taking a picture. The focus is not on the arrangement of the setting or the person, it’s on the mental state as well as the experience of the model. I want to get them in a mood, where they can let go and show a side which is different from everyday life. Therefore, I lead them into a scenario that forces them to release.

I love to work with the mindset of a person. By setting certain impulses the scene becomes suddenly real. Based on the preferences of the model, those scenarios can include pain, domination, physical and mental restriction as well as different kinds of challenges. In this regard I give them the chance to explore their limits, by leading them from their comfort zone to the borderline. I start slowly and increase the intensity bit by bit until they reach the edge of self-control and thus the state of release. My favourite attempt of bringing someone into that state is by creating challenges. Depending on the person, this can include the endurance of high impact, intense pain or other stimulation, a difficult task, the confrontation with fear or discomfort, intense physical or mental restrictions or a combination of those approaches. Of course, this kind of experience is negotiated before the shooting: there is a comprehensive conversation about how intense the scenario might become, and individual boundaries stay respected.

During such a scenario most people experience an extension of their limits: while struggling with the situation in the beginning, they adapt to it bit by bit until they let go. This often ends up in them being able to handle a higher degree of intensity than they originally expected. They experience that they can go beyond their proposed limits, and that “the end” is actually not the end. That’s the moment when ataraxia sets in.

In my photos I capture the states that everyone passes while going through such a scenario. It creates a specific mood and body language as well as authentic emotions.

'Mediumistic art' (Channeling Phenomena and creativity)
2023-04-25 20:00 - 22:00 | The Fool, Skalitzer Str. 43, Berlin, 10997, Germany
‘Mediumistic art’(Channeling Phenomena and creativity)

Creative possession, supernatural inspiration, artistic epiphany, automatic writing and drawing, channeling, cut-up, mediumistic art.

Since the dawn of human creativity, the connection between the transcendental world and artistic expression has been that of a constant dialogue.

Various techniques for “channeling” visions from other worlds and magical realities have seeped into our contemporary culture and have determined not only the avant-garde of art but have also shaped the methodologies of magic as we know it today.

Names like Austin Osman Spare, Hilma af Klint, William Burroughs or Ema Kuntz, just to name a few, are today solid references to this connection between magic and creativity.

In this occult talk we will share our personal experiences exploring various creative techniques in relation to our magical practice: Creative Synchronicities, Unexpected Manifestations, Mysterious Signs.

NOTE: This is not a workshop or a master class, it is a space where we will horizontally share our concerns and possible certainties on the subject.

We will conclude the experience by creating a Cadavre exquis (exquisite corpse) among the attendees who wish to participate.This Occult talk will be the starting point for a series of talks on art and the occult over the next few months at The Fool.

This activity will be guided by Juan Pablo Arce Cardozoartist @latercera_manocurator @occultureconferenceand collector @thefool_berlin

“While I am dreaming and longing for sleep” is the third piece of the ongoing series “Multi-Polarities”. This blindfolded improvisation dance performance series consists of changing monologues revealing the dark and suppressed thoughts and fantasies we all have within us. A provocation and reflection of the inner conflict between desire, moral and reality of human beings, aiming to accept and find friends in their Multi-Polarities. Pushing the body to exhilaration to reach a paradox state between control and delirium at the same time in order to find release, pleasure and joy inside extremity and pain.”I would kill again if I would set free and I liked what i did.You don’t have to love what you’re used to.You are used to me.My mind is a haze.Excitement, fear, pleasure… all mixed.They were a part of me.I want to remember their appearance.Their physical beauty.I wanted to keep something if I couldn’t keep them here.A place where i collect my thoughts and feed my obsession.There was no use trying to fight it.I was death and that was the only act that gave me satisfaction…”Performer:Felicitas Thomashttps://www.movementunlimited.deOpen door: 20:00Performance: 21:00

Tarot Skills Mastermind

Tarot Skills Mastermind

Shouldn’t Tarot be your best friend and a trusted tool to help you when you need it most?

Shouldn’t it be effortless after all of this studying? Especially when it’s urgent and you need new perspectives, outlooks and answers quick!

Instead the cards just tense up and give you more questions than answers.

Instead of helpful new perspectives you kinda freeze and spend hours in Tarot books, manuals and flimsy brochures that give you vague ideas and complicated metaphors that sound profound but are seldomly helpful.

So if you are done feeling stuck in all things tarot and divination join us for the Tarot Skills Mastermind Group.

You won’t receive a magic bullet to solve all your problems but you will get access to a decade of intense spiritual life coaching experience with tarot and other oracles that helped Marc and hundreds of his clients. His intuitive and rebellious yet systematic approach to readings brought Marc a regular segment on national psychic TV and even an engagement by Amazon music. Reading professionally forced Marc to develop top notch systems and a problem solving mindset that doesn’t lead you astray in high pressure situations.

For the duration of this evening, your Tarot problems will be his and you’ll have the chance to land on the hot seat and get all your strategic questions answered. Let’s hone our Tarot skills together.

What tarot spread or lay-out doesn’t make sense to you? How should you best answer a complex question? What does this card mean in this context? How do I best shuffle?

Bring your favourite deck and questions and together we will help each other. You’ll be in a room with other experienced readers who can give you new perspectives and tips. This group is a safe space for learning, experimenting and skill development.

All questions allowed. 100% honesty and transparency.

A space for beginners and experts alike to network, teach and learn.

Sensory connection: ritual body painting with herbal dyes

with Mela Verde

The workshop:

We will start off with an initial connection circle to discover our own body and the other person’s body using the paintbrush as an antenna.Body painting is used to seek a type of communication that goes beyond words, as if the deepest feelings were transpiring from the skin, blending with the paints. Connecting with oneself and one’s surroundings creates a flow of emotional interchanges.

Each participant will be able to express themselves freely whilst searching for new communication channels as well as listening carefully to the other.

We will provide natural body paints created especially for the event, which have been made using dyeing herbs and essential oil compositions.

Duration: 3h approx. plus 30/40 min (at your own discretion) for relaxation.

What to bring:A mat or rug, a plain blanket (better if dark), comfortable clothes such as shorts and a short-sleeved T-shirt.

Please note:Blankets will be spread out on the floor, in order to create a defined and comfortable space for the whole group.Paints may stain fabrics due to the presence of Henna

Info about the facilitator:MelaVerde is an artist and performer from Rome. She has combined her pedagogical training in art therapies with the study of ritual body painting, seeking new forms of communication, listening and emotional expression.

"Magick Latern Night Vol. I"
2023-04-07 20:00 - 22:00 | The Fool, Skalitzer Str. 43, Berlin, 10997, Germany
“Magick Latern Night Vol. I”

On this occasion we are pleased to present in “The Fool” two paradigmatic short films from the avant-garde scene and both strongly impregnated with occult references, oneirism, archetypal imagery, borderline surrealism, enigmatic symbolism, and rituality in an approach to the cinematographic medium as a true magical tool.

We will introduce the essential aspects of both films, a short historical contextualization, some relevant biographical data, but above all we will immerse ourselves in the fascinating concatenation of events related to the magic that both films invoked and subsequently unleashed to determinely influence audiovisual culture to this day. .

“Meshes of the Afternoon” (1943) directed by Maya Deren.“MESHES OF THE AFTERNOON” is one of the most influential works in American experimental cinema. A non-narrative work, it has been identified as a key example of the “trance film,” in which a protagonist appears in a dreamlike state, and where the camera conveys his or her subjective focus”

‎”The Wormwood Star” (1956) directed by Curtis Harrington.“A portrait of artist, actress, poet and occultist Marjorie Cameron: an artist. A poet. A muse. A cartographer for the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the war. A member of the propaganda machine. An occultist. An actress. Perhaps the Whore of Babylon.”

We will accompany the night with red wine in honor of Babalon.

The evening will end with a set of underground music from the 60s and 70s related to the occult.

doors open at 7:00 p.m., film starts at 8:00 p.m.

BUTOH Workshop: Dancing an Imaginary Body w/ Leonardo Sbabo

Through guided and free visualisations, we will embark on a path of the embodiment of the inner image.

How to transform visual inputs into dance?

How to use visualisation as an engine for physical creation?If one allows the body space to act, one can understand many things about the deeper state of consciousness and one’s psychological and energetic blocks. Putting them into dance is the necessary ritual step to transmute them through magical action.

In this workshop we will explore imaginary places within ourselves to notice emerging bodily impulses. Through the absence of movement, we will enhance its roots, and through the reduction of our being, we will welcome a dance that originates elsewhere. We will then work with the body and the elements with an alchemical and symbolic but also material and concrete approach, stimulating a dream-like perception capable of creating a personal and ritual dance.We welcome everybody interested in researching new sources and modalities for body expression, whether you are a dancer or beginner and want to explore evocative and cathartic capacities of the body.

Leonardo Sbabo is a performance artist and Butoh dancer focusing his research on ritual dance and ontological and embodied queerness.Alongside various physical explorations, he devotes himself to studying human cosmologies, mystery practices and esoteric knowledge to release the multidimensional energy dormant in all bodies.

OCCULT TALK: ScryingOccult Talk // Scrying - intro by @snake.priestess

OCCULT TALK: ScryingOccult Talk // Scrying – intro by @snake.priestess

Scrying has been used since ancient times to gain information, divine the past, present and future and connect with spirits.

From traditional Oil Gazing, Black Mirror Scrying to Pyromancy – various methods have been applied in the early civilisations of Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt and Greece.

Whereas scrying conducted by the priests was highly esteemed by the head of the states, it became widely overshadowed especially in the Western world with the enforcement of Christianity. Only a few truth-seeking alchemists and wise women continued with the old practices until the early modern age at the expense of being persecuted.

Despite the proliferation of a materialistic worldview brought in later by science, occult perspectives didn’t become extinct. In the 19th century French occultist Eliphas Levi put forward the term of the Astral light meaning that images of things and persons are preserved in the astral light and can be evoked through scrying. This notion finds likewise expression in the theosophical concept of the Akashic Records, a compendium of all universal events, thoughts, words, emotions and intent ever to have occurred in the past and present.

In this talk we want to explore the ancient art of scrying. Discuss theories, practices and share our experiences. The many ways in which messages may present themselves, how to develop the intuitive senses and evoke trance states. And what are the potentials of those concepts brought in by the great occultists and where does it end?

Individual Palmistry Readings // with Danny Nemu

Of all the divination practices, palm reading, also known as palmistry or chiromancy, is one of the most highly regarded, albeit difficult to grasp (pun definitely intended). Simply put, palmistry is the art of analyzing the physical features of the hands to interpret personality characteristics and predict future happenings. Within palm reading, hands are considered portals that shed invaluable insight.

PRACTICE:Hands-on hypno-magick: trance session about ritual and hypnosis

Trance can take you wherever you want to go, from the alchemist’s lab to the jungle maloca, and if you forget your wand you can just imagine yourself a new one! This session begins with a visit to the magician’s house to cast a circle and a triangle, and then we will build our own rituals and test their effects on each other. We will also explore how hypnosis can be used with divination, by projecting through the keys of the tarot, and by grounding our desires for the future in the powerhouse of the unconscious mind.

Hypnosis and the Occult // with Danny Nemu

Minds turn inwards to the sound of the shaman’s rattle or the swing of the hypnotist’s watch. Trance is a vehicle to move between worlds, taking the mage into the imagination and bringing back the magick.

How does hypnosis work and what does it feel like? What has been done with trance in the past and how can we incorporate it into our lives going forward? Take a deep breath as we journey through history and take an experiential dive into trance, to see what pearls we can bring back from the depths of the mind.

You shall receive a short introduction to a basic approach to Chaos Magick Rituals in the framing of Rituals as a tool for consciousness exploration and hacking. We will then workshop a few fitting group intent spells, create rituals to cast them and then perform them together.

CHAOS MAGICK

To me, this is a non-dogmatic meta-paradigm of consciousness exploration and expansion, a form of psychonautics.The creative and unconventional practice aims at accelerating spiritual evolution and personal development by deconditioning and hacking your nervous system using your will, intention, energy, and imagination as well as rituals and symbols as tools to alter your experience of reality and increase your possibilities.Some principles shared by most chaos magicians include shifting paradigms and using belief as a tool, accessing altered states with different techniques to anchor information in your subconscious, and an emphasis on direct experience, making you your own spiritual authority.Do not believe what is written, experiment for yourself!

Eros & Thanatos Movie Night: “Medea” by Pier Paolo Pasolini

A new movie night that explores the different shades of Eros, love, and Thanatos, death. It is a journey in the paradoxes of opposed forces conflicting against each other and creating a new form of creative expression.

Medea is a 1969 Italian film directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini, based on the ancient myth of Medea. Filmed in Göreme Open Air Museum’s early Christian churches, Pisa, and the Citadel of Aleppo, it stars opera singer Maria Callas in her only film role.

The film is largely a faithful portrayal of the myth of Jason and the Argonauts and the events of Euripides’ play The Medea concerning the betrayal of Medea by Jason and his eventual demise at her hands.Pasolini’s dramatic and adverse personality is very much alive in this film which depicts Medea’s murder of her husband, children and her husband’s lover.

# INFERNO (1980)Dario Argento

Inferno is a 1980 Italian supernatural horror film written and directed by Dario Argento, and starring Irene Miracle, Leigh McCloskey, Eleonora Giorgi, Daria Nicolodi and Alida Valli. The plot follows a young man’s investigation into the disappearance of his sister, who had been living in a New York City apartment building that also served as a home for a powerful, centuries-old witch. The cinematography was by Romano Albani, and Keith Emerson composed the film’s musical score.A thematic sequel to Suspiria (1977), the film is the second installment of Argento’s Three Mothers trilogy, though it is the first in the trilogy to explore the idea of the Three Mothers. The long-delayed concluding entry, The Mother of Tears, was released in 2007. All three films are partially derived from Thomas de Quincey’s 1845 work Suspiria de Profundis, a collection of prose poetry in which he proposes the concept of three “Ladies of Sorrow” (Mater Lachrymarum, Mater Suspiriorum and Mater Tenebrarum), concurrent with the three Fates and Graces in Greek mythology.

Occult Talk: Chaos Magick

“There is no formal hierarchy in the chaos tradition of magic. There is a division of activity depending on ability as it develops.” Peter J. Carroll

Chaos Magick is an innovation of twentieth-century occultism that draws influence from a variety of sources, including occultists such as Aleister Crowley and Austin Osman Spare.

It began in the late 1970s with the publication of Peter Carroll’s Liber Null and Ray Sherwin’s The Book of Results in 1978.And its history is very intriguing.

How did Chaos Magick influence today’s occulture?Is Chaos Magick representing the real individual freedom in esoteric practices?

Tarot Study Group with Saara

Tarot Study Group with Saara

The study of the tarot cards is a study of a lifetime.

With countless decks to practice from, a rich and diverse history to unpack, and a deep philosophy that is every-unfolding, it is a discipline in which even the most experience of readers can feel like beginners.

it is a perfect practice in which all can learn from each other, working together to deepen their understanding of the cards, no matter which deck, philosophy, or culture you are loyal.

The fool thus offers its space to support a tarot study group. The intention of this study group is for all participants to come and learn together, sharing their knowledge, perspective, and experience with each other.

There is no teacher, but rather a loose format that will be used to facilitate discussion and practice for all.

During the first meeting, participants will brainstorm on different ways they would like to use the time of the study group, and from this brainstorming, a schedule will be made for the first set of meetings. Once the schedule is set, willing participants will volunteer to help facilitate one of the six meetings. Those facilitating a meeting, will then meet together and discuss what they would like to do during that time with the group to help facilitate group discussion and practice around that topic.

Facilitating a meeting does not mean being the teacher: facilitators rather help the group by managing group discussions, practices, and time management for the group. It’s more like you are helping the group to stick together as you all study together. And don’t worry, if you are not interested in being a facilitator for a topic, then you don’t have to!

We will aim for facilitation to be done by a small group of 2-3 people rather than one person alone.

After the agenda is set during the first meeting, we will then have the remaining meetings for those interested in studying together on the decided themes to bring their decks and join!
