Esoteric Island Discs: Carl Abrahamsson

[Esoteric Island Discs is an esoteric homage to the great Desert Island Discs, a classic radio programme which is owned entirely by the British Broadcasting Corporation. We hope they receive it in the loving spirit in which it is intended. The Esoteric Island Theme is by Shackleton.]

Our castaway is Carl Abrahamsson: artist, filmmaker, and musician whose work is situated firmly within modern occulture. He is the editor and publisher of the annual occultural ’zine, The Fenris Wolf, the author of Reasonances, and of many other books, and has produced works of art in almost every known medium.
