MARY HEDGER

I was born in to a pool of orange light and everything was beautiful.

I went to an ugly prefab comprehensive school in an Essex new town;
I developed a hunger for transformation and style.

I dropped out of University to sort out the confusion I felt
at being in love with five men simultaneously.

I was squatting off the Old Kent Road, London,
when a silver hand came out of the sky and handed me a pen.

First, I wrote a long grimoire about being splattered into bits and reassembling.

I look for new ways to live, new ways to write and new ways to love.

Right now I like instinct and spontaneity sourced from the sweetness of deep self.

In an explicit sex magick orgy, History of Fun recounts the origins of a powerful occult phenomenon, the cult of Thelema.

Artist and mother Est, can no longer numb the magnetic pull of her destiny with drugs. Newly aroused instinct propels her to a fateful encounter with Stritch, half starved rock god and member of The Beast's secret cult. Est is inevitably attracted towards the hub of their organisation.

The Beast 666 and his Scarlet Woman 156, luxuriate in ritual sex magick devised to attract new acolytes, while Mama Shag uses Ridelands, her country estate, for secret gatherings of the cult's inner circle. Here acolytes are tested and newcomers initiated, proving their allegiance in the mysteries which unfold within the underground chamber.

'I want to thank you for the feast you provided with further pages of History of Fun. I am beginning - just beginning, to become conscious of the sheer scope and depth of your vision, to say nothing of the subtleties which lurk in almost every line.'- Kenneth Grant
