RAW auction back in action

Christina has begun to put some more memorabilia and paraphernalia up on eBay...she will be adding more over the next couple of weeks.  Go to this eBay link...

e.g. Bob's Escher shirt

Just an email to the universe

Hilaritas Press continues publishing wonderful new editions of many of Bob's books.

The latest one is "email to the universe" - a newly proofread edition, with an added Intro, an Afterword by Paul Krassner, new illustrations, a new cover.    Read more about it, or buy the ebook, here.

IMPortant note:   Only the Kindle edition is available, at the moment, so any offers of paperback copies you see on Amazon will be the old edition from New Falcon.   Best to wait, if you want a paperback copy of this smart new edition from Hilaritas.

One Last Chance - auction of RAW memorabilia

Long term students of RAW, members of the Maybe Logic Academy, and even subscribers to this blog, will know about the auctions done in Bob's last few months, to help with his medical expenses, etc.

Bob Campbell devised a unique currency for RAW to sign (and make 'real') which got sold off;  Old Bob sold off various of his Tarot packs, card by card; most interestingly (particularly if you are into psychometry), he began to sell of bits and pieces from his home - T-shirts, magazines, art, trinkets, etc.

[Note: the links to eBay auctions, in the above mentioned posts from 2006, will no longer work]

Well, if you missed those events, you get a second chance - because RAW's daughter Christine has decided to put a few more of his personal possessions up for auction - and you can tune into the action here.

More items will apparently get added over the coming days.

RAW Auction 2016

a letter from Bob’s daughter Christina

[read the whole text in the above link]

Matters of the heart; One of my personal loose ends is sorting through my remaining boxes of my parent’s possessions. A couple of the possessions I have integrated into my daily life, an object sitting on a shelf, or a shirt hanging in my closet, a book in the bookcase.  But the truth is everything else stays all boxed up, and relatively useless unless you feel like developing muscles lugging boxes around. I don’t, and it is time to make these items available to others who may enjoy them.

To do this, I am setting up an E-Bay auction, to list a number of RAW collectables, along with “just random” stuff that belonged to Bob and Arlen, my parents.

Before you make assumptions about whatever will be listed, and why I would do this let me explain! In late 2007, I also sold some memorabilia, as I needed desperately to raise money to take care of Bob’s past debts, family needs, and to take some financial weight off me as I attempted to help my brother. I was so grateful for folk’s interest and support, and was deeply touched and amazed at some of the notes I received!

Fast forward to today; I have several boxes, not a lot, as Bob and Arlen really never owned much. And, most of what they did own was often second-hand, well-used, etc! But… I have a sense that some folks would really enjoy having an object infused with RAW’s history and life; whether every-day stuff, or not! And, again, the income (whatever is received) will help to pay bills, and move Hilaritas Press forward!

For instance; I have Bob’s lovely Aran Fisherman’s sweater made by John Molloy of Donegal, Ireland that he bought in Ireland for warmth (photo above). It is too big for me, my husband doesn’t wear sweaters, and someone might just think it would be awesomely cool to write their own masterpiece while wrapped in a sweater of RAW’s!

- 0 -

Back in the day, several of us bought bits and pieces, to help pay Bob's tax bills, or whatever.  Here is your opportunity (if you believe in that psychometry stuff).

Me personally? (the bogus one)
I love having the T-Shirt that he got given for his appearance on Politically Incorrect, even if he never actually wore it!

Watch this space, for further news of eBay auctions.   Or stay in touch with Hilaritas Press.

•  Crowley Tarot: Understanding Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot                                                  Lon Milo DuQuette / August 13 - September 30 / $135

For over 35 years the Thoth Tarot has been one of the best selling and most popular Tarot decks in the world. Designed by Aleister Crowley and painted by Frieda Harris, it is considered by many to be the most important magical object d’art of the 20th century – it is also one of the most misunderstood. Crowley’s own The Book of Thoth, written in the last years of his life, is naturally the most authoritative work on the subject, and represents a synthesis of a lifetime of magical study and illumination. But, like many of Crowley’s works, it is hard to digest without a considerable background occult education.
 Join author and Crowley expert, Lon Milo DuQuette, for an in-depth (and relatively painless) look at the classic and revolutionary structure of the Thoth Tarot; its artistic mysteries; and the secrets of sexual alchemy hidden within the stunning imagery of its 78 mini-masterpieces.

• The Goddess Path : Myths, Invocations and Rituals            Patricia Monaghan                          September 3 - October 28 / $125

Are you one of the increasing number of women and men who want to know more about the Goddess? Each of the eight weeks of the course focuses on a particular Goddess from Celtic, Greek, Native American, Asian and African traditions, providing a prayer and meditation appropriate to the particular goddess; a retelling of the goddess' essential myth and meaning; discussion of interpretations, symbolism, activities, major feasts, and principal means of honoring the goddess; and suggestions for modern honoring rituals. The course also examines some of the main ideas and ideals of the Goddess Movement and includes weekly personal meditations and activities.

• The crazy wisdom of Philip K. Dick Erik Davis     September 17 - November 11 / $120

Once a purely cult figure, Philip K. Dick (1928-1982) is now widely recognized as a pulp visionary of the highest order. This course will approach his work not as science fiction but as crazy wisdom. We’ll explore how his texts seem designed to illuminate our posthuman problems and our most ancient philosophical questions — and to then scramble those insights with a cheap ray gun. We will read two of Dick’s major novels, both chosen for their heavy gnostic themes. We will discuss drugs and archons and machines that break down, including, possibly, yourself. We will also explore the two greatest examples of the many PKD movies to date—further evidence that Dick’s spirit will only continue to permeate the culture at large.

Erik Davis is the author of Techgnosis and The Visionary State: A Journey through California’s Spiritual Landscape. Erik consulted on the script for A Scanner Darkly, and was recognized by the New Yorker for his expertise in PKD’s work. He has taught courses at UC Berkeley, UC Davis, and the California Institute of Integral Studies. He is working on a book about PKD.

Tale of the Tribe has been in development for over a year and contains the best from Wilson's MLA courses on The Ideogrammic Method and Tale of the Tribe. All course material was written and/or assigned by Wilson and contains the blueprints and hidden agendas from his never-completed book of the same title."

Derived from Robert Anton Wilson's landmark MLA courses 'The Ideogrammic Method' and 'Tale of the Tribe,' this self-directed course bridges the political, the social and the psychological in a mix only Wilson conjure. Starring Ernest Fenollosa, Ezra Pound, Alfred Korzybski, James Joyce and Buckminster Fuller -- the nucleus of the extraordinary minds that have helped shape the information age of 21st century and the mindscape of Robert Anton Wilson.
