Can we have just one issue without Aliestar Crowley being mentioned?  |

Druggie thinks the world is watching him etc etc etc powerful government in the world.
If this is the level that FT are going to drop to, I will seriously question if I want to renew my subscription.
BTW, yes of course I'm working for "them" :roll: |
That is the worst article I think I've ever read in nearly 20 years of FT. Complete garbage. I'm really shocked and pissed off that they published it.
Seriously, WTF. |
finally read this and what grates most for me is the appalling writing style ... |

I dunno, we've had some pretty dire ones. The otakin and that one by Loren Coleman on giants being real were absolute garbage and will be hard to topple. Then again I've haven't got round to reading this article yet, so we may have a new contender!

We'll get it right after the issue that doesn't mention John Mitchell. |

| Every issue seems to mention both Crowly and Mitchell - why? Unless they've discovered something new by these two, they shouldn't be crammed into every issue as if the magazine couldn't survive without them! |

He is an important figure in 20th century occultism though, with a finger in every grubby pie. This is why he is sent up in every other issue in Phenomenomix: he seems to be involved in everything.  |

Maybe I shouldn't have said that out loud. My next subscription payment went through a month earlier than expected  |

Clearly FT is monitoring your posts here!  |

An issue without either of them would be brilliant! |

I don't think the persecuted-over-missing-night-vision-goggles article was much good. Paranoid delusions of an admitted drug taker is how the whole thing came across. Is this where FT is heading now? Amazing how they drop their standards for what might boost sales rather than something actually Fortean.
Or perhaps they were one article short for this issue... |

I'm with you there Dr Whiteface.
I know that new Forteana might be a bit thin on the ground but I would have rather had a new article on an old topic rather than the drivel we have had this issue. |
