There is a mystical beauty to be achieved, as we all know, through art. It conveys a general sense of beauty, colour, and inspiration, and thus it clothes and veils ideas. There is an occult (hidden) beauty also to be achieved in the field of art. That conveys a different sense of beauty, colour, and inspiration, clothed in those forms which reveal ideas. Mystical beauty veils, in beauty, the ideal. Occult beauty reveals, in beauty, the ideal. -

"The artist as a practitioner of witchcraft.. to me are the artists who were effective at bringing change unto the world.  Darcilio Lima (1944 - 1991) for instance, is a Brazilian artist I have interest in. He considered his works as spells for protection against malevolent forces, and gifted that protection to the person who would acquire that work and live with it. This is the true magic."
