A great interview on the inimitable Secret History of Western Esotericism Podcast (SHWEP!) on the new MA programs in the History of Magic and Occult Science at Univ. of South Carolina (my home base) and Exeter. I'm proud to be a part of these exciting new developments.

Scholarly friendos: Academia.edu is offering me a year of premium access for about 58 USD. This seems like not a terrible deal. Worth it, you think?

I'm on Academia.edu's mailing list. A surprising number of papers in #IslamicStudies are published on the platform for download free of charge under Creative Commons licenses.
Today's paper: AL-MADĀʾINĪ AND THE NARRATIVES OF THE ʿABBĀSID DAWLA by Ilkka Lindstedt. Sorry for the ugly link below, but it should get you to a place where you can download the PDF.

I decided to start studying #IslamicStudies at International Open University, Gambia. Actually this is something I never think of. Why I decided to learn Islamic Studies? because I want to become better muslim. No more no less. I also double major in Accounting. I pray to God I can successfully juggle more responsibilities.
I throughly enjoyed writing this book. #criticaltheory #FrankfurtSchool #newbook #religion #Philosophy #IslamicStudies #academia

Hi all. I'm a professor of Religious Studies in the U.S. who researches medieval Islamic thought, especially Sufism, occult sciences, and Arabic manuscript studies. I'm also co-founder of Islamic Occult Studies on the Rise (IOSOTR), an ongoing international workshop. You can check out some of the fruits of that at https://www.islamicoccult.org/.
I'm also a low-skill linux enthusiast, scifi fan, anarchist, and all-round fan of the obscure.
