It is being reported through social media that noted occultist and writer Nema passed away early this morning.
The Wiki entry on her states:
“Nema is an occultist and writer best known for her magical writings about the Ma’atian current. She has been practising and writing about magick (magical working, as defined by Aleister Crowley) for over twenty-five years. From her experience with Thelemic magick (a system designed by Crowley), she developed her own system of magic called Maat Magick which has the aim of transforming the human race. Her writings have appeared in many publications, including the Cincinnati Journal of Ceremonial Magick, Aeon, Starfire, and others.
“In 1974, she channelled a short book called Liber Pennae Praenumbra. Her ideas have been featured in the writings of Kenneth Grant. In 1979, she co-founded the Horus-Maat Lodge.”
