Jason Louv is the bestselling author of eight books—his latest is the widely acclaimed and unstoppably successful John Dee and the Empire of Angels—a massive chronicle of Western civilization’s obsession with the Apocalypse, focusing on the occult magicians John Dee, Aleister Crowley and Jack Parsons—released in the United States of April 17, 2018 and in the UK and Europe on May 31 from Inner Traditions.
For the last twenty years, Jason has dedicated himself to exploring, reporting on and teaching the world’s sacred traditions—from indigenous shamanism, to the enlightenment traditions of India and Tibet, to Western magick and occultism. He currently spends his time writing, speaking, and teaching meditation and magick at his online education portal Magick.Me.
Not content to simply dwell in academic theory or meditate in a cave, Jason has worked consistently to ground the goals of the spiritual traditions he has studied into the real world. He has worked as an investigative journalist (breaking the stories of the Trans-Pacific Partnership and Line 61 oil pipeline construction at VICE News) and as a communications strategist for a number of multinational corporations. His advertising work has appeared everywhere from Times Square billboards to the astronaut Buzz Aldrin’s international campaign to colonize Mars. (Buzz presented Jason’s work to President Obama on board Air Force One.) Most recently, Jason has partnered with Google’s Artists and Machine Intelligence program to help envision the future of artificial intelligence, and ensure that humanity creates benevolent superintelligences as it enters the AI age.
Jason’s work has been covered in Smithsonian Magazine, Publisher’s Weekly, DAZED Digital and VICE Creators Project, among many others, and he has been a regular guest on a wide range of podcasts, TV and radio programs, including The Duncan Trussell Family Hour, Russia Today, Coast to Coast AM, Team Human With Douglas Rushkoff, The Sam Tripoli Show, and many more.
Counterculture publishing legend R. U. Sirus (Mondo 2000) calls him “one of humanity’s best mutant scouts on the frontiers of human experience.” Howard Bloom (The Lucifer Principle) calls him a “bloody f***ing genius.” Duncan Trussell calls Jason’s latest book a “mind-spinning, glorious work of occult genius.”
His proudest moment, however, is being dubbed “Woke Mark Ruffalo” by Twitter.
Jason interviews spiritual, technological and outsider thinkers weekly on the Ultraculture With Jason Louv podcast. You can follow his Amazon author page here.
