You've probably already subscribed to our RSS feed, followed us on Twitter, and joined our Facebook page. (You're so Web 2.0!)
But have you checked out our new Esoteric Book Club? First pick is Robert Anton Wilson's Quantum Psychology. Participate here!
Plutonica.net has always had a special focus on books and occult publishing in amidst the links and commentary on occulture.
We’ve now taken that a step further by creating a dedicated space to tackle one book a month with the Plutonica.net Esoteric Book Club.
What’s the deal?
I’ve created an About page for the book club with more info on the history of the idea and how it came about, but here’s the gist:
The Plutonica.net Esoteric Book Club isn’t just another general occult forum. It’s a space dedicated to esoteric and occult literature and what people do with it.
It tackles the same themes our blog is focused on: philosophy, spirituality, magick and occulture, with a little biography and occult lit tossed in for good measure.
The real focus will be on engaging in what we’re reading, as we’re reading it. Sharing thoughts, asking questions, hopefully going deeper into material together than we might have the opportunity otherwise, alone.
How it will work
We’ll gather suggestions Continue reading »

Plutonica.net was first launched on October 31st, 2007, today marks its second birthday.
It’s gone through periods of hyperactivity and lagging for months without posts, but I think we’ve entered into a decent rhythm now. I’ve found it to be quite a learning curve, despite beginning my first blog in 2001, but it’s also been a lot of fun.
Write for us!
We’ve had guest bloggers in the past, but I’d like to open the blog up to anyone who’s interested in writing for it, be it a guest post or a regular column.
We’ve submission guidelines posted, but if you’ve been reading for a few weeks or – how exciting – since the beginning, then you probably have a good idea of the sorts of things we write about here. Continue reading »

Hello all!
I’ve been rather busy the past few weeks with a complete redesign of Plutonica.net.
For a start, we’ve significantly pared down our category listing. While remaining true to the original focus of this blog, the tagline has been tweaked to:
Plutonica.net: An esoteric blog exploring
occulture, philosophy, spirituality and magick.
As you may have inferred from the image above, our banner has also changed. To the right of it, we’ve added a nifty feature that displays randomized quotes taken from various sources relating to philosophy, spirituality, magick and occulture.
We’ve changed the structure of the website. Both sidebars have moved over to the right, and we’ve removed a lot of features that weren’t being used, such as the calendar and tag cloud.
Posts are now organized into four main categories, the latest article of which will always appear at the top of the page for quick linking:
- Essays & Opinion which features longer articles about current trends in occulture and essays on techniques;
- News & Shiny highlights people, podcasts, books, art, websites – anything that may be of interest to occultniks
- our Reviews section still covers book reviews, oracle reviews, film reviews and media reviews of all types;
- and last but not least, Saturday Signal is will continue to be our occasional links round-up of the new and nifty that didn’t quite warrant a dedicated post of its own.
As a part of the redesign and rethinking the blog, I’d like to Continue reading »

Saturday Signal: sifting the signal from the noise of the Internet’s occultural cacophony.

Thanks again to those of you who responded to Friday’s post about Plutonica.net’s Amazon.com affiliation, your feedback and support is appreciated.
Readers, you may recall June’s announcement that Pluto had been reclassified from a “dwarf-planet” to a…”plutoid”, a status it shares with Eris, which gave rise to all this confusion in the first place. (Really.)
A third…non-planet (?) has been granted this dubious honour, and with it, receives a new name: Continue reading »
