'The Ebon Kteis' delves into the subtle beauty that lies at the threshold of Eros & Thanatos, and what has oft' been referred to as “la petite mort”: the strange connection that exists between orgasm, the loss of the senses and the ultimate release of Death; both Symbolic having a real strong bond to one another.

The subject is exploited from various angles; within witchcraft, tantrism, the necromantic arts, romanticism, et cetera (of course always leaving much interpretative power to the contributors). - Also pertaining to this Issue will be a huge emphasis on the many ways to go about the Sabbatical Rites of Soul-Flight and Congress, whether with fellow brethren or by means of Self-Initiation.

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.
