The darkside of Esozone: Baphomat in the coffee grounds, Rex Church, Satanists, and more…

Turkish coffee ground divination is one of breakcore goddess Hecate‘s lesser known talents. At Esozone, she read for Clyde Lewis (above right), and Baphomat appeared in the grounds.

More on this, plus Clyde interviewing Rex Church and Freeman at Ground Zero Lounge.

Plus: Here’s the Portland Tribune’s coverage, which focuses mostly on the Satanism angle.

If you’re in Portland: come to Portland Occulture and/or Mu-Ryu

Just a reminder – if you’re in Portland and don’t already know about Portland Occulture, you should. We have weekly meet-ups and other various activities and outings. See the web site for details. This Thursday we’ll be at O’Malleys at 6535 SE Foster Rd.

Also, there is Mu-Ryu – freestyle sword dueling – every Sunday at Laurelhurst Park (near the duck pond). Not sure how much longer we’ll be doing it this season. But we might move to an indoor location. Keep an eye on the web site for details.

Oregonian’s Esozone coverage

Paul Laffoley and Freeman

An alternative but not necessarily parallel universe is forming in Southeast Portland this weekend.

They call “Esozone: the other tomorrow” a festival, but don’t expect corn dogs and Ferris wheels. Fringe thinkers, visionary artists and occult musicians from around the world will gather at Watershed, a rambling, ramshackle building near Sellwood for a weekend of … well … the inexplicable.

Noah Mickens, who will take part in the festivities, defines it this way: “Esozone is an exhibition of scientists, philosophers, magicians and performance artists, gathered together by a subculture of young radicals who don’t recognize the distinction between the four.”

Of course, you still may be a little fuzzy about exactly what goes on. You’re not alone.
