The Magic Circle
“Those who enter the magic circle are lucky to get out.”
When Mary Armstrong, daughter of powerful Republican senator George Armstrong, dies in a mysterious car crash near the Los Angeles Zoo, her childhood friend is left with more than just grief-she’s left with Mary’s diary.
What begins as a personal reckoning soon becomes a descent into a raw, unflinching portrait of a woman shaped by betrayal, forbidden intimacy, and a relentless pursuit of meaning. Through Mary’s undated, fiercely intelligent, and often unsettling entries, we enter a labyrinth of theology, sexuality, and power-where orgasm becomes divine revelation, the Bible hides darker truths, and the sacred is indistinguishable from the taboo.

Poems Of Mary Armstrong And Her Sisters
Compiled by Father Malcolm, this haunting collection brings together the poems of Mary Armstrong and her sisters. What begins as a simple anthology of verse quickly reveals something far more unsettling: fragments of memory, desire, trauma, and forbidden truth woven into raw, unfiltered poetry.
Each sister writes from the shadows of a shared past, one shaped by the lingering grip of childhood experiences with their father that refuse to fade. Their words shift between lyrical beauty and stark confession, capturing moments of tenderness, longing, rebellion, and psychological fracture.
These are not polished verses meant to comfort. They are intimate, unsettling glimpses into lives marked by contradiction, innocence and defiance, love and damage.
As Father Malcolm warns, “Great art they are not, but as initiation into the magic circle, none could be better.”

Contemplations on god and orgasm
What is the origin of God?
Through the contemplations of Mary Armstrong — framed by her confessor Father Malcolm — C. F. Hayes poses a bold philosophical thesis: that humanity’s concept of God, religion, language, and civilization itself may be traced back to the biological experience of orgasm. Drawing on anthropology, evolutionary science, comparative mythology, etymology, and cultural history, this work asks hundreds of provocative questions across every major world tradition and civilization.
Neither pro-religion nor anti-religion, Contemplations on God and Orgasm is a daring work of intellectual inquiry into human nature and the origins of culture.
