The Exhibition Catalogues of Austin O. Spare

compiled and edited by Robert Ansell

As an Individual I resent this cant re "self -expression." a catch phrase to hide every form of delinquency -- the excuse to perpetuate the worst whithin us at other's expense.

"Looking within, to the depths of one's Soul" is another inverse cliche: personally, my experience of  "looking within" has been exactly like looking into an empty bucket!

As an inveterate believer in the Soul, I have experienced the "Touch"... and all stimuli of inspiration at any level are an effulgent refraction from something we have glimpsed from without and excreated from the machine within. So far

we have made a sorry mess of the Anatomy of the Mind. The Soul is apart--becoming

tactual of sincerity when our level of values is near equity -- its language is a baffling symbolism to all untruth: human nature being the most unstable thing known -- correspondance is rare 

Austin Osman Spare 1951

Jónas Sen...The Red and Black Twins...2011

© Jónas Sen 2011

"If red and black are the two aspects of the darkness in which creativity

has its roots, then perhaps, they can be understood as representing the twin

aspects of artistic genius, the passive and the active. Both are needed to create art."

...

"The successful invocation of the Twins is thus an opening of the gate to the dark, to the source of endless creativity that is pure magic."

Austin Osman Spare... drawings & paintings

in the anticipation of attending the exhibition of the year

at the Cuming Museum in London, here are a few Spare treats!

 Idiocy - Automatic Drawing

As above so below, this is never sufficiently realized. . . . Remorse? Nay, do unto thyself all things, fearlessly. Finality is reached when ye have learned to digest everything. What is all man-slaughter but what ye have done unto yourself? Only where there is necessity is ther death. Dispense with all 'means' to an end. There is nothing higher than joyous sensation. Eternal Self! these millions of bodies I have outworn! Oh, sinister ecstasy. I am thy vicious self pleasure that destroyeth all things. Distrust thy teacher, for 'divine truth' has prevented better men from wisdom. In such revelation there is no suggestion. Do thy utmost unto others: But be surely what thou wilt: and keep thy belief free of morality. Observe thyself by sensation: thus know the finer perturbations and vibrations. This much shalt thou learn: To love all men, for there will be compulsion.

My drawings in ...ABRAXAS...

I have the delightful pleasure to be included with Illustrious company in the first issue of ABRAXAS...

Abraxas is a new independent journal of historical and

contemporary occultism. Through its pages will be manifest the voices

of working occult experience and the visions of esoteric artists,

alongside keen insights of original scholarly research. Abraxas

will offer the reader a rich resource of thought-provoking essays,

vibrant art and poetic myth from some of the most inspirational

thinkers, artists, writers, designers and practitioners working in the

international occult community today. Here will be found perceptive

articles, narratives of workings, mysterious photography, obscure

magical text reprints, strange drawings and resonant lyric. Abraxas

aims to be intellectually engaging, critically rigorous and visually

inspiring. It will be a unique space where fresh insights emerge to

feed the mind, imagination and soul.

Issue One – Autumn Equinox 2009

Treadwells and Fulgur are delighted to announce the first issue of our

new esoteric journal ABRAXAS is now in press. In keeping with our

intent, writers and artists have kindly submitted material from across the

globe: Australia,the United States,Mexico,Italy and the United Kingdom

are keenly represented.

Nearly all the material is published for the first time. Here may be

found inspiring essays from luminaries within the esoteric community,

many of them written especially for the journal. Artists too are well

represented, both established masters and emerging talents: a feast for

the eyes and soul. Our poets include Allyson Shaw, Zachary Cox and,

from beyond the veil, Aleister Crowley, whose evocative verse ‘Babalon’

finally finds itself in print more than sixty years after it was

written.

Produced in a large quarto format, with 128 pages printed on high

quality paper and richly illustrated in colour and monochrome, we hope

Abraxas will offer you a strange mirror through which may be glimpsed

the zeitgeist of the global occult community today.
