Imagining the Future and the Art of Persuasion: Workshop by Danny Nemu

Do What Thou Wilt – or – Tell me what you want, what you really really want

How can trance help us access the power of the imagination to help us achieve our goals and meet with success? Perhaps you want better health, a different career or a livelier sex life? Let’s get together, take a deep breath, and evoke our Holy Guardian Zigazig-ah.In this session, we will drop down through the turbulence of the everyday mind to a deeper place of stillness, and generate a vision of where we want to be in the near future. Once we have sketched out the vision, sharpened the edges and hung it up in an exalted place in our inner temple, we’ll look at some simple techniques of communication and persuasion that can help our vision take root in the minds of the people who can help bring it to fruition.

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!

Occult Talk – Is there a Veil?
2023-08-08 19:30 - 22:00 | The Fool, Skalitzer Str. 43, Berlin, 10997, Germany
Occult Talk – Is there a Veil?

Is there some “Thing, current, presence, function of reality, antimagick agenda” (as a fellow occultist expressed it) that inhibits Magick? Does something separate us from the “Otherworld”? What about the Veils of Physicality and Paroketh in the kabbalistic Four Worlds model?

Also, was Magick much more powerful in ancient times? Does the strength of Magick fluctuate in time and space?

Finally, if we think that there is something, what exactly does it do? Is it active or passive? And most importantly, what can we do against it? How can we get to More Magick?

We are going to ask ourselves this and other questions on Tuesday August 8th with Naoxar at The Fool.

About Occult Talk:The Occult Talk is a gathering meant as a round table style to discuss together a proposed topic.The aim is to break the usual schema of having a teaching figure and intimidated students. We want to make the occult less elitist, so anyone can feel free to participate no matter how much experience they have.

What is control and what role does it have in magic practices, ritual, and daily life.

When should we use control to manifest our desires and when should we let go of it to allow the universe to do his will or obtain a state of trance.

"When Masks fall" : THE VISUAL & EXPERIENCE BASED WORK OF CARNIVORE aka Swen Brandy

Photo and Video-Screening and Talk“When Masks fall”THE VISUAL & EXPERIENCE BASED WORK OFCARNIVORE aka Swen BrandyBERLIN // 16.06.23 / 19:45 hPhoto – Screening // Interview // Film Screening “Emotional” // Talk Panel

“WHEN MASKS FALL”

We all know the word masquerade, posture, we know the little rituals and preparations for events or special occasional events from upbringing. We dress up and adapt, we put on the party mask and over the years we develop dozens of different masks for every occasion around us in society and in circles of friends, but also at work and even with friends and with our loved ones to adapt, to adapt. then there are the moments when we wonder and ask ourselves who and with which mask we really connect with our ego. Swens uses videos and images to show how masks are falling, people are frozen in the sub, edge, and lust space. The images show how beautiful, but also intense, letting go can be. In a panel, we want to talk about how experiences of these conditions can be, are they dangerous, does the mask really serve to protect you in everyday life, what is beauty actually?

When masks fall.

The project “Emotional – a moment full of emotions”is intended to show the variety of emotions, especially from the point of view of non-verbal communication. Authentic, unfiltered emotions enable us to get in touch with ourselves and with other people. In our everyday life, however, we have learned to hide or control the expression of certain feelings. This control is shed for a moment as the protagonists show their authentic, emotional selves. An important focus was also on diversity, i.e. that people of different age groups, body types, and ethnicity are portrayed. Their expressions were captured in photos and short video clips. The presentation of the photo and video material aims to ensure that viewers are confronted with authentic, unfiltered emotional expressions over a longer period of time – a situation that rarely occurs in everyday life. In this way, everyone can feel and explore for themselves what prolonged viewing of these expressions triggers in them.

Swen Brandy (CARNIVORE) BerlinConcepter/Photographer/Artist/Kink-EducatorSwen 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 challengeFor 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.Swen BrandyCARNIVORE

Occult Talk: Shamanism, Actionism, and Magic: a reconnection to the spiritual through performance Art.
2023-05-23 20:00 - 22:00 | The Fool, Skalitzer Str. 43, Berlin, 10997, Germany
Occult Talk: Shamanism, Actionism, and Magic: a reconnection to the spiritual through performance Art.

The European artistic avant-gardes of the second half of the 20th century were profusely nourished by references to spiritual transcendence and animistic search. Beyond the simple iconoclastic stance and the intentional desecration of symbols of established religions lies an individual artistic and spiritual quest at the same time as a search to transform the social and political environment from the depth of the magical/artistic act as a reconfigurative tool of reality.Artistic movements such as “Fluxus” or “Vienna Actionism” have influenced our perception of contemporary art and currently belong to the mainstream of art historiography.

Beyond this historiographical definition, however, we are interested in asking questions about the relationship of these movements with occult practice from a creative and critical perspective.

Rituals, visons, magical objects, sacred spaces and times, are some of the terms that intersect transversally between the Art/magic territories.

We will analyze the work of artists of stature such as Joseph Beuys, Hermann Nitsch, Rudolf Schwarzkogler, and Günter Brus among others; focusing specifically on ritual practice and esotericism.

We will also tangentially touch more diffuse topics such as hyperstition and autopoiesis. Seasoned, of course, with a bit of critical theory from our own personal peripheries.

This is not a lecture, it is a space to share experiences and learn together.It is a talk open to all who are interested, regardless of personal practice or level of experience on the subject.

This talk will be led by Juan Pablo Arce Cardozo Artist/Collector/Curator

Doors open at 7:00 p.m. Event starts at 8:00 p.m.Donation based event.

Flesh for Fantasy – Reclaiming Forbidden Sexual Desires

curated by: *absolute.minority

hosted by: ivanka mmmm

2hrs facilitated discussion & screening (music & mixer follows)

What beautiful monsters lurk in the shadows of your repressed imagination? Which wet paths of erotic discovery are you yearning to become acquainted with? Gloryholes, cruising, sex swings, tentacle porn, fisting, rosebudding, hentai, shibari, suspension, unbirthing, orgy edge play and the fist goes on.. the most interesting fantasies of course remain the most personal perversions.

Socially disapproved sexual desires, fantasies and practices are known as “perversions,” “deviance” or “paraphilias.” Perversions were medicalised in the mid nineteenth century until 1886, when German-Austrian psychiatrist, KrafftEbing, cemented human libidinal wildness into sterile, clinical captivity within the tome, ”Psychopathia Sexualis”. He argued that “perversions” were diseases of the “sexual instinct,” involving deriving sexual pleasure from imagining and fantasizing about non-reproductive acts. The church in parallel had freaky “mortification of the flesh“ practices in order to repent for sins and share in the Passion of Jesus – the early BDSM prototypes, yet now they condemn drag queens reading to children.

Therefore dear wetterosexuals (those aroused by that which makes them wetter), you are invited to an evening of deep, deep diving into collective kink, forbidden fantasies and the inner libidinal landscapes that simmer below our waking life consciousness.

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.

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!

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.

Eggs in Magick

Join Marc for a deep dive beyond the shell and into the infamous symbol of healing power. Learn how eggs are used in magick, divination, energy work and healing.

Inspired by the techniques of the Curandero, celtic magick, shamanic practitioners around the world and Marc‘s pet approaches to transformational work using eggs.

You’ll leave that evening with many fresh thoughts and outlooks on both traditional and modern strategies to work with eggs.

'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

Blindfolded Dance Performance by @movementunlimited

“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
