A propos de cet article

"The first book of the modern era that was issued with an explicit talismanic intent. . .it contains two unpublished texts and automatic drawings. The texts were printed tête-bêche---head-to-tail and tail-to-head. Their meeting at the centre of the book is marked by sigils representing the union of masculine and feminine principles central to modern magical though". Contemporary Weiser NYC Bookseller ticket. From the Publisher (see image) : ". . .our first book. In 1992, Austin Osman Spare was an obscure artist: lost to art history, the media, and bullish auction prices. Our book was a reconstruction of his work with Kenneth Grant, c.1952, intended by the two friends to capture public interest at the height of the witchcraft revival. The two texts were 'The Witches Sabbath' and 'Axiomata'. We published them tête-bêche on sumptuous French paper and offered the work in standard and deluxe editions, the latter in full black vellum. Our intent was to explore the book as a talisman and to bring cultural credibility to a then marginalised genre.". First Edition Limited. Hard Cover. As New/As New. Illus. by 2 Colour Tipped-in Frontispieces | 19 black and white. 4to size - 12" tall. Oversized Safely, Securely Packed.…
