Under the radar yet highly influential, Uncle Chuckie is a master of the meta Psionic technology that is shaping the occult mindstream at present.

More focused on the human mind than Tesla, and more interested in the direct effects of technology on humans than Edison, Uncle Chuckie presents a unique synthesis of scientific and magical applications in the history of magical inventors.

Uncle Chuckie has created a range of devices that actually manipulate the aetheric and orgone levels of the human body.

Beyond this, his courses on Psionics and magical techniques for realizing your desires are the first rate renditions by a person that actually uses magic in his day to day life. You don't get the impression you are being sold to another guru telling you to do things because he says so. This makes Uncle Chuckie approachable and self effacing in the best ways one could hope to be.

Lets see what he has for us today:

RL: Let me start off by saying I'm greatly honored to have this interview with you. Let's dive right in!

Sure. I just hope your computer doesn't explode. :)

RL: Tell me about yourself and what psionics has done to your life?

It wrecked it. Just kidding. I've doing this stuff for nearly 30 years now and doing magick for 40 so it's really hard to say what my life would have been like without it.

It has made things much easier, sometimes spectacularly so and certainly kept it from getting boring. I would not have been likely to have become a minor cult figure without it.

RL: The Psionics Manefesto is a bold document. What can say has led you to the conclusion that "We are the Masters of the Universe?"

I've long been interested in the social consequences of this stuff and let us be honest--psionics stacks the deck. A person who can use it effectively does not have to worry much about a lot of the things that beset the rest of humanity because it provides an element of control and power that otherwise would not be present.

In the final analysis, psionics gives the individual the ability to project power in ways that are usually confined to nation states and he can do it from the comfort of his living room.

RL: By far your must serious work I have encountered is Liber Chuckie. Abraxas himself speaks directly to you with an extremely important message to mankind. Can you describe the circumstances of this vision and what effects it has had on your life?

That is a hard one to talk about. You have to take such communications with some salt and skepticism but it was a fascinating experience to encounter something like that.

It came about as a result of me just sort of playing around with one of my instruments, a console unit somewhat bigger than the tools I put in my books and on the website and a helmet. I was just sort of snorfing around the astral and surprise, I find myself in this weird environment.

I try not to let it have too much effect on my life. I know that sounds strange, but if one is to function in the real world, one must keep a tight lid on oneself. Too many people have such experiences and do foolish things because of them.

RL: Lets talk about magic. How do you employ magic in your daily life, and what place does technology have to play?

I view magick as a tool for making life interesting and more convenient, so when I use it is to get some worldly result, which means that the practice is not a daily thing, I don't get up at 4 AM to salute the Sun God, for example, but I do spend a lot of time finding new and often old, very old, techniques that might be of value.

Magick is intimately related to human technology, only folks just don't see it that way very often. There was a time when drums were cutting edge and there were great disputes no doubt in the caves as to which animal skins were proper for getting the spirits to do their work. And when steel was invented, the bronze knife became a tool of the past.

So the use of various technologies in magick is simply a part of the natural progression of things. I can relate better to a box with dials on it than I can to a circle drawn on the floor and candles. And younger magicians relate better to purely digital technology because they did not have a childhood when the mysterious little people appeared in the box in the living room after you turned three or four dials.

RL: I love late 1930s Flash Gorden films and other cultural icons of that era. Can you describe your
early influences, and what made them a part of who you are?

Flash Gordon was a biggie, no doubt about that. But the comic books of my childhood were an even greater influence. As I look back on them, there were certain characters, villains, that really had an effect on me, particularly a one-time character, the Martian in the Iron Mask, who had mind control powers related to mass hypnosis, the Invisible Destroyer, who had a cool helmet, wonderful control panel, and fed off of nuclear energy, and, of course, Dr. Doom!

You add them together and you get a lot of Uncle Chuckie, no doubt about that.

RL: Your Wardbusting page made me bust out laughing with your comments on Wiccans. For the record, can you describe your feelings about Wicca for our readership?

I have little patience with it and its pretensions. I find the public utterances of its principal authors and speakers to be self-righteous gibberish designed to control people and make them follow their party line. After all, that is all their silly Law of Three really is, a means of saying, "If you do things we don't approve of bad things will happen to you."

Well, bad things happen to everyone and when the sun goes nova the just and the unjust will fry alike.

RL: What kind of projects are you up to, or have planned for the future?

I'm starting work on a psionic grimoire. I wrote a psionic magick course some years ago but it is far too broad and the material in my Psionic Power that utilizes the spirits of the Goetia does not cover
things as fully as I would like, so that is my next project. And instructional videos, teaching people
how to make gadgets, sort of a psionic Wally's Workshop, as soon as I can get the equipment and good workplace to do that in.

RL: What is the best way for people to find out more information about your work and teachings?

From me, of course. Just look at my website,

RL: Do you have any opinions of the Temple Of Set or the work of Anton LaVey?

I seem to be unique in that I actually like LaVey. He
was a showman and he had an innate capacity to create magick as theater, which most ritual really is. People read his stuff and shake their heads, but it is
not meant to be read, it is meant to be performed, and that can be done quite effectively.

As far as the Temple of Set is concerned, some of their stuff is very similar to mine, in fact a number of years ago I performed a public ritual and afterwords someone was heard to say that I had stolen some of the material I used from the TOS, only to have a member of the TOS respond that they had stolen it from me!
