He has written nonfiction articles for their archives, finally being published by Sirius Limited Esoterica with The Way of Abrahadabra, where he intended to strip the formula from the folk rituals of Thelema and its most religious and popular aspects, presenting it and elaborating it instead through hermetic methods. There, he published The Path of Ipsos (vol I & II) as the follow-up to The Way of Abrahadabra regarding PanAeonic Magick.
