Raven Digitalis (Missoula, Montana) is a fourth-year Neo Pagan Priest (also trained in Georgian Wicca and Buddhist philosophy) of the “disciplined eclectic” shadow magick/occult tradition Opus Aima Obscuræ, and is a Gothic-industrial radio and club DJ. He holds a B.A. in anthropology from the University of Montana and is a black-and-white photographic artist. Raven is the author of “Goth Craft: The Magickal Side of Dark Culture” (Llewellyn, 2007) and the forthcoming “Shadow Magick Compendium” (Llewellyn, Sept. 2008).

With his Priestess Estha, Raven holds community gatherings, tarot readings, and a variety of ritual services. From their home, the two also operate the metaphysical business Twigs and Brews, specializing in magickal and medicinal bath salts, herbal blends, essential oils, and incenses.

“When Paganism and Gothic culture collide, a powerful blend of independent thought and magickal transformation is often the result. Raven Digitalis explores this dynamic intersection and what draws us to the dark side. Digitalis introduces many kinds of Goths and Witches, and the philosophy of each. Practical as well as insightful, Goth Craft covers the basics of magick, with special attention to blood magick, death magick, and necromancy. You’ll also learn how to channel dark emotions, express yourself through the dark arts (clothes, hair, makeup, body modification), choose appropriate Goth music for ritual, and myriad other ways to merge magickal practice with the Goth lifestyle. Also covered is vampyrism, BDSM, gender/sexuality, and the magickal-spiritual use of drugs. From working shadow magick to spellcasting on the dance floor, Goth Craft revels in the exciting convergence of two vital subcultures.”

Hey all. Some folks have been asking what I’ve been up to, where I’m being interviewed, etc., so I thought I’d post a little personal update thingy. For those of you waiting to hear about upcoming local OAO open rituals (Women’s *dark* moons Esbats [hosted by Estha & Datura], Men’s solar rituals [hosted by me], everyone-Sabbats, everyone-full-moon-Esbats, etc.), stay tuned! I’ll type it up in the very near. I’ve just been very busy working and doing spiritual Work, battling insomnia, and am currently trying to catch up with things around the house. Also, I’ve put a small image of SHADOW MAGICK COMPENDIUM (Sept) on my MySpace page.. it’s also on Amazon.com. I’ll soon post a full description of the book (it does NOT have a Gothic focus; it’s purely magickal/spiritual) and will be taking PRE-ORDERS very soon!!
