A Work in Progress by

Simon Takes a Dive
Gislebertus - Autun Cathedral -12th century

Who is this mysterious figure who has lurked on the threshold of the Christian Church from its very beginnings?

First mentioned in the Book of Acts, Simon Magus, the Samaritan Sorcerer, was labelled Father of Heresy by the early Church Fathers, until the sin named for him, the sin of selling a Stairway to Heaven, so corrupted that same Church that millions turned from it in disgust.

The early accounts of his theological innovations were considered mad fantasies until they were rediscovered at Nag Hammadi, and the Gnostic revelations he pioneered revealed for all to marvel at.

According to legend, he declared himself God, flew above Rome before the Emperor Nero and fell to ignominious defeat, but Simon's own account of his epic struggle with the Saints, and with the Creator Itself, has never before been revealed.

Until now! The actual and personal memoirs of the original Magus have been rediscovered (do not ask how) by me, Glen Cram, who is even now reconstructing them and will soon bring them to an eager world after 2 millennia!

  • What cosmic horror did Simon encounter in darkest Aigyptia?
     
  • How did he meet the Goddess who became his Holy Wisdom, and what became of Her?
     
  • What is the truth behind his wild night with the Apostle Paul?
     
  • What of the Arkadian Werewolf?
     
  • And did those feet...?

From Judaea to Alexandria, from Antioch to Albion, from Roma to That Other Place, these and many other secrets will be revealed in

The Acts of Simon Magus

I'm still struggling with some of the more arcane passages (he can be rather obscure at times!), but I hope to have the whole Work completed soon. Meanwhile, for your edification and entertainment, please click here for more info about this fascinating character. If you want to be kept informed of my progress, let me know at simonmagus@cramberry.com, and the Samaritan Sorcerer may just let you in on exclusive excerpts from his personal writings as they are revealed.

It's time for the Truth, from the Father of Lies!
