Cover art by Corrine HalbertAbout ON HIGH AT RED TIDE:
A debauched meditation on death and delinquency that fuses noir, punk/gang culture, and the surrealist drug novel into a caution-nary tale of toxic co-dependence and blurred principle. A mysterious sentient energy lowly reincarnated as red tide—the harmful algal bloom sharing its red phosphorous with methamphetamine—returns to the scenes of its coming-of-age atrocities, narrating this punk rock shadowing of The Secret History and Lord of the Flies from the vantage of its ominous panoramic ocean. In tandem, we observe The Vigil: a gang of neurotic teenagers living on a strict diet of speed, alcohol, and 25-cent pudding pies, craving power and vengeance in a small beach town where the police are closing in on them and “Mom,” their enabling matriarch on her last hurrah.

NOTE: I’ll be going on a sabbatical to the foggy coast as I try to make heads or tails of internal and external developments. I hope to return with a plan of attack for finishing both the HAUNTOMANCER / HAUNT MANUAL print text and the REVEL ROSZ record–both have been harrowing in their incessant gnaw and I plan to hexorcise these major works within the next few months.
I will be shipping more HOLLERS and HEXKASSETTES upon returning. My bandwidth is a bit fried at the moment. Hope you all have a great horrorday and stay tuned for some more updates via patreon. HAUNT THE HAINTS, AND HAUNT ON.

The creation and whirlwind magicks utilized to conjure a surprise and powerful record, whilst in the midst of piecing outing my song sigil series, is a fantastick example of the hauntsigil, personally, but hypersigil, commonly, in turn.
My Hauntomancy within DIMtZUM is best exemplified by the communion of the Spectre of my youth—one doused in the desert heat and cradled within the fuzz gospel of bands such as The Melvins, Unwound, Fugazi—and one that I have always cherished, yet, never knew how to conjure those deep influences until this project arose. The Aspectre was also danced with, as I found myself white-eyed and ravenous to experiment with my own talismanic instruments in ways hitherto unknown, inspired by the cosmick rhythms of Frater Perseus somatickally performed in his own magickal artspace called The Mauve Room, and allowed me to tether his conjurations from my Dimming Room: A rather analog & somatick affair considering we were transcontinental in collaboration, but one that kept the dirty ghost within a baritone fuzz gospel based upon performance rather than post-production.
Without disrespectfully constituting Frater Perseus’ own utilization of Hauntomancy within this sigil, or discussing his own praxis without his explicit description, I will say a marked element of Hauntomancy I noticed with Perseus’ construction of the DIMtZUM rhythms was that of letting go of long charged and utilized syncopations. He almost retired these long toiled with rhythms to haunt on within these DIMtZUM songs; an exorcism of what was through true communion. He has told me that a lot of these rhythms, although created long ago but never utilized, nor found an appropriate home, can now find their unfinished business somewhat fulfilled upon this DIMtZUM HauntSigil. A fantastic example of Hauntomancy at play as the praxis was both a reverent dirge to what was as well as an ecstatic road-opening to forthcoming, newfangled experimentations.
Here is the full mastered 6 song album I created with Frater Perseus for the DIMtZUM project and a full visualizer! The album will be released via bandcamp and youtube at 6am on 8/4/24. We chose this release date and time due to celestial elections, and hope our navigation proves fruitful.
The visualizer uses drone footage from Logan Ford that we shot at and around his property of DIRT HAWK RANCH, NM. I also added my analog tape glitch for fun effect. But this is more about the musick than anything else…
Also, here’s the sigil for the projekt. We mixed the Arabic word for “dim”, the Hebrew word for “tsom/tsum” (the root of TZUM), my custom WtH font, the therefore symbol, all into a DIM MAUVE CACTUS:

The first SONGSIGIL in the REVEL ROSZ monthly series that builds to his first fully produced debut album. The songsigil is to be widereleased on bandcamp and all streaming platforms July 2024. It was imperative that the first of the series be revealed today, 7/7/24 due to celestial elections. You can view the videomancy component of the sigil here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0PJ4cnBu5w
The video was made in The Dimming Room and shot on analog film Hi8 camcorders along with my rusty sony DSLR. The glitch effects are all completely analog as one of the camcorders has a malfunctioning output - but I love the natural analog decay. Utilizing this along with in-camera lo-fi projection mapping is perfectly analogous to the song's production, as everything was performed and recorded somatically - no digital samples, sequencing or digital FX.
Recorded with live drums and live manipulated analog FX, four track & cassette player manipulation, baritone electric guitar, casio circuit bent keyboard, 70's analog rhythm box and the live manipulated Robert Monroe tape samples!
I am the ghost that hangs aroundKeter dethroned and spit me outAnd the yell-hounds still tryna sniff me outBut I told you I'd be the ghost that hangs aroundCan't you hear them howlin?
Them yell-houndsWell, they're bound to keep me found
Back from the deadIt ain't like you readI chewed through Sekhmet's spacesWith a severed, bloody head
And now these muckle black tykesDressed in dead's threadsThey done sic'd on meThey won't let me beHoney, time is of the essenceSo lay with me
And I see you weep'Cause I'm not aroundA boy could get used toForlornin', and how!
Never knew how many strangers feltI'm so deeply uncomfortableCome dig me outBefore the hounds will outCome on, dig me out
Can't you hear them howl?Ooh-raA-hoo-ra
Can't you hear meRappin' at your chamber doorYou say "Forever More"No matter howStrong enoughLook who's ghostin; vows now
Look who's ghosting vows nowI am post hasteAnd I'm many namedBut I can't relateTo a dying day
Check my pulse nowCan you replace?No, I had noneStill I was oneOh, I'm comin'Yeah, I'm comin' home
Who's ghostin' who now?I'm many namedForever in one placeI am post hasteI am the mostTo cull awayNow many named

Before we dip into the raditudes, please check out the new Ritual Craft Grimoire entitled the DIVERGENT MAGICK GRIMOIRE!
“From PRAGMAGICK creator and perpetual fuck up, Revel Rosz, comes the Divergent Magick Anarchic Grimoire. A workbook that offers a framework to create, construct, disrupt, and rejuvenate the rites and rituals that form your personal lore. It’s Divergent because it doesn’t adhere to a single current, reflecting the diverse nature of each person’s individuation process. Additionally, it’s divergent because the creator is a neurodivergent schemer, always seeking to merge the pragmatic with the magical. The grimoire’s 40-plus ritual cycles encompass metaphysical frameworks for various aspects, be it artistic projects, health habits, or creating/deconstructing magickal rituals. Each rite cycle can delve into the neurotic details of a single step, making the grimoire a major rite in itself! The only rule: customize everything! Let this tool assist your anarchic praxis in ritualising the mundane, echoing the profane, and resonating with sacred rites that shape your personal lore. Hardbacks and paperbacks are available on Amazon. Contact PRAGMAGICK-(at)-Gmail-dot-com to be part of the grimoire’s own deconstruction and rebirth!”

After years of working with Eric Millar and his We The Hallowed Press bouts of independent publishing, I decided I would take a stab at creating custom, blank journals—largely for myself and my endless need of scribble books. I designed a blank journal with PragMagick’s Austin Osman Spare Planchette insignia, only the image on the cover, but needed to publish it to the public to get my discounted author copies, so I pummeled through the annoying minutiae of listing it for sale to a general audience. I knew how niche and specific these designs were, and had no expectation about them selling. The simple praxis of self-publishing these wholly custom journals got me itchy about all the publishing projects from the early We The Hallowed era. Hell, even Revelator Rosz, my rebirthed moniker reinvigorated by the Prospectre Ritual, is still listed as an author to the first ever We The Hallowed zine.
Dissolving the internal dissonance I’ve felt with We The Hallowed as a magickal apparatus of late, echoing its ethos of anarchic revelries of shared metaphysical creations, and finally, resounding in the thirdscene of both made new—allowed me to construct this anarchic grimoire, this workbook, this rubric for user-created ritual construction.
The Grimoire is simple. The book gives space for the aspects of a rite, it gives space for the ruminations and visitations of a rite’s attempts, space to catalogue a personal sigil alphabet, and, most importantly, it introduces the “Disolver Eco Resonar” method to assist in ritual ruination, reconstruction and rebirth of all of the above. This very chapter of the Haunt Manual was guided by this D E R method—as the Spectre of 2017 dissolves, the Aspectre of a thought lost self echoes, and the resonance of these workings haunt on through the Prospectre of self and future works…
My aims of this Grimoire are threefold: 1) To hone and construct my own ritual processes within an organized schema 2) To have this become the backbone for a resurgence in community driven magicks 3) To deconstruct & rebirth new schema for updated volumes.
My hope is that the Divergent Magick Anarchic Grimoire is not only found useful for neuro-divergent and neuro-typical minds alike, but also inspires a community of sharing these anarchic recipes for life in the form of their custom rituals. Perhaps this tome can become the tool to discover the constants, to discover the inherent. Perhaps this is vessel for the intentionally customizable scripture of this self-styled art-religon’s “Tethers?” We shall see.
Notes on terminology From Elena (SorcerersHomie):
Before we discuss this episode's Audiomancy... The Divergent Magick Grimoire is now out on hardback:
All musick heard was performed live & recorded live to 4 track cassette tape. Because it is recorded live and on cassette tape, and because everything is improvised, sound quality may vary! But I exalt the warts and all as these rituals are vulnerable exorcisms.
This "Living Lore Film Score" was composed of two completely improvised DIM SESSIONS (or Audiomancy Rituals) performed and recorded on 12/24 & 12/25 utilizing a new ritual setup. These gusts of creative abandon evoke the PROSPECTRE from the Hauntomancy Workings of HAUNT MANUAL by marrying the SPECTRE ∴ ASPECTRE and all that came from 2023's raucous sound magick works!
Here is the 2023 Videosigil Vigil of these very Dim Sessions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfpI72K7dWM&t=2285s
I also composed a Haunt Manual piece that goes more in-depth about its tethers and sections: “An in-depth look into The Dimming Room Tapes’ Analog Audiomancy Sigil, its Videomancy and the Divergent Magick Grimoire” https://keatsross.substack.com/p/the-dimming-room-tapes
