Department of Liminality, Shamanism & Daemonology (DoLSD) Julian Vayne. Department of Liminality, Shamanism & Daemonology is concerned with the induction, exploration and management of altered states of consciousness and their occult application. Somatic techniques of exploring The Mystery are the focus of much of the Departments work. Traditional methods of trance generation (through bodywork, auditory stimulation, entheogenics and more) are combined with the latest findings in the fields of neurophysiology and information technology. Spirit entities in the widest sense are also studied in this department, from servitors to deities. In a series of laboratory environments students will have the opportunity to study a wide variety of strategies for modifying awareness, to share experiences and develop excellent practical skills.
DoLSD is led by Julian Vayne who for many years worked within the Thelemic and Wiccan traditions. He is now a respected member of the British Section of the Magical Pact of the Illuminates of Thanateros and maintains his links with wider Pagan culture through his involvement in both Witchcraft and Druidry. Julian has written a number of esoteric books, has contributed to a wide variety of occult journals and published academic writing on this subject. His professional background is in the field of teaching and learning theory and museology. Julian is a trustee of The Friends of the Boscastle Museum of Witchcraft, a founding trustee of the drug policy think tank Transform and is regular speaker at variety of conferences in his chosen fields of study |
