Psience Quest

Quote:Colquhoun was perhaps the most committed and engaged female occultist of the twentieth century. She was the embodiment of elemental fire: doggedly driven, relentless and uncompromising. Ideally, she would have wanted to cultivate the elements in balance, but everything about her simply blazed. She pursued the mysteries with every breath and used that passion to fuel an incredible output of art and writing. Throughout her life, she created thousands of pieces of visual art, wrote, published and performed hundreds of poems, wrote several novels and three travel guides, wrote a history of the Golden Dawn magical order, drafted radio dramas, produced philosophical commentaries and quite a large number of articles on thick occult theory. But her art was always in service to her magic. Through Colquhoun’s work, we have the rare privilege to be witness to one woman’s intensive, lifelong magical practice.
