Grey Lodge Archives
Psychedelic Heroin sez:
"I recently tracked down the pdf's for nearly all of the issues of the now-deceased counterculture online zine Grey Lodge Occult Review. The site was taken down due to "legal threats and religious hackers". To see the table of contents for the issues visit the Wayback Machine here. Along with the rabbit hole that is Deoxy, this was one of my formative sanctuaries for all things mindfuckery."

Long Overdue Facelift
We've upgraded the Incunabula site for 2012. Hopefully it will be a bit neater and more organized for you to find what you need here.
We still need to add some graphics and expand on some text areas to several pages to make it more "shiny".
We did make the site mobile friendly so you can browse it on your phone easily.
We'll try and update news more often in 2012 then we have recently and we'll be announcing new books and other media projects here soon.
We'll also be updating the library page soon with a bevy of books for you to read and enjoy.
If you see something broken or missing, don't hesitate to drop me a line at jmatheny AT nym.hush.com.
Enjoy and happy 2012!

Thanks to Matt for doing the great work to get these done.
Also, David wrote nice article over here where he gave me some props.

Greylodge to forward for now
For the present time, Greylodge.org will begin forwarding to http://tubegnosis.com/ as I feel Tube is a fitting placeholder for GL until we relaunch next year. It should begin forwarding in the next 24 hours.

Coincidence Control Network: File #004
Episode 4 of Coincidence Control Network is Ken'less. (No Barbie either) Personnel this week– Joe Nolan, Kim Monaghan, Joseph Matheny talk about Ken behind his back then discuss: Video Game Killings?, Baseball and sex in space, segue to Segway, Occupy and Occupy Foreclosures, Roky Erickson, Strange Culture and lotsa kid. There was more but Kim lost the file. In Ken's absence you'll just have to deal with Joseph's punk rock editing style. Get over it.

Traveling into the vortex of Ong's Hat
From Hidden New Jersey
Much, much later, Ong's Hat became the setting for a very strange supernatural tale that takes a variety of different directions, depending on who you talk to. The writer Joseph Matheny claims that it all started with a man named Wali Fard, who bought a few hundred acres of the Pinelands in the 1950's. Along with a couple of anarchist lesbians (or are they lesbian anarchists? You decide!) and some runaways from Paramus (why is it always Paramus?) he started a cult called the Moorish Science Ashram.
That's not all that strange, but it gets better. Allegedly, the site held a vortex that led to an alternate universe, discovered by discredited Princeton physics professors who were somehow influenced by the nearby Fort Dix and McGuire Air Force Base. The proximity to the famed Lakehurst Air Naval Base probably didn't hurt either: it was the site of the famous Hindenberg explosion. Through a series of experiments, the scientists found the gateway to another dimension, which they'd accessed through use of a capsule shaped like a human sized egg. I wouldn't doubt that there were drugs involved, too. From a story like that, you'd kind of expect there were. Or maybe even hope… In any case, it's the kind of story that makes the Jersey Devil pale by comparison.
