Explore the enigmatic tale of the Ong’s Hat conspiracy, a story that blurs the line between reality and myth. Delve into a narrative filled with secret experiments, mystical dimensions, and hidden histories.

 

So… this was in the mailbox of our little bakery this morning… other than it being conspiracy theory, I have no idea what I’m looking at. I don’t even know if this is the right order for the pages…

I think the interview is the new art form. – Jim Morrison

This work was initially planned as an ordinary “book.” However, I’ve grown tired of that outdated description of a unit of measure. “The book” doesn’t mean the same thing in the digital information age that it once did. The concept of this project outgrew and then demanded to be represented in a way that fit the amorphous form of the ideas and concepts within. So, I recruited the help of a friend that I knew had a grasp of what I was trying to convey, and we now have the interdisciplinary form that this kind of project requires. The project, a living concept, approves of this new skin.

Working from the rough draft of the original book I had planned, and with the help of Sequoyah Kennedy, co-host and producer of the Nonsense Bazaar podcast, we have grown the ideas into the complete forms they wished to inhabit.

Ong’s Hat: COMPLEAT will be a multi-chapter audiobook of conversations between Sequoyah and me about essential periods in my life during the lead-up to and development of the Ong’s Hat hypersigil and my interaction with various disembodied intelligences that aided in that work.

The audiobook will feature music, sounds, and atmosphere by the multi-talented Polypores (aka Stephen James Buckley). Most of their music is at polypores.bandcamp.com, but the latest album is here: https://polypores-cis.bandcamp.com/album/there-are-other-worlds. On Twitter as @stephenjbuckley and Instagram as @sjbuckers Youtube as @polyporeshq

Each chapter will include fully linked and notated digital documents comprised of the original notes we were working off of. For the print version, we will consist of transcriptions of those conversations with the notes included and endnotes, including the URLs for reference. I will also include relevant photos, diagrams, and copies of other pertinent documents. You could think of it as an interdisciplinary scrapbook covering a particular project, period of gestation, and the adjacent people, places, and things.

We are still on schedule to deliver this in early 2025. I think this version will be more inclusive and representative of the work and ideas discussed therein.
