Baka Tarot is a calligraphic tarot that pays homage to martial arts, Zen masters, and the powerful energy of black ink to come through in any rendition, from the hand to the digital processing of the marks left on paper. In this book Camelia Elias describes her cards, offering also short readings of 3-card strings for each individual representation. Baka Tarot consists of 26 cards: 22 are named after the standard tarot trumps and 4 are named a...

Writer Directory: A Book of Encounters offers a species of hybrid text, part miniature literary biographies, part figuration and metaphor. Each portrait is thereby not reluctant to assume its own kind of licence. Not least in calling upon the author's working part in the equation. Starting from the fantasy of "meeting" Herman Melville, there follow twenty or so selective encounters with writers of a more subsequent time, our own time. Angles, ...

This book explores the possibility to fit the essence of six Tarot cards to the constricted structure of the haiku poem. The result is a beautiful economy of thought and image. Although the book was written as a companion to the limited edition Arcades Tarot, it can serve as inspiration and guiding tool for all interested in developing a language of visual synthesis. How do you render a world of Tarot symbolic representations and cultural fu...

In Joycean Arcana: Ulysses and the Tarot de Marseille, Matthew Schultz proposes a new framework for exploring the complex characters and relationships in James Joyce's Ulysses. By situating Joyce within the wider circles of occult modernism, Schultz builds upon the widely-accepted Homeric framework of Ulysses to show how the Odyssey as both a divinatory tool and an allegory for the journey of the soul may further illuminate Joyce's 20th-centur...

Formal Shamanic Conduct: Zonal Installations in Supernatural Space stages an indisciplinary practice via non-standard deployment of set-theoretic and anthropologic artefacts as they are brought to bear upon two propositions: that "The human is an animal, " and that "The animal is a human." In the first place, the propositions are treated to set-theoretic modelisation whose expressive products offer pliant materials for subsequent conceptual en...

To convey ideas through the medium of images has always been the aim of those who are artists as well as thinkers in art history, and it is to a desire to give a sensuous environment to intellectual concepts that we owe Haladyn's volume. For this Imaginary Portrait pictures an art historian or, should we prefer to perceive, numerous art historians, formed in a series of 40 philosophic studies of art in which the philosophy is tempered by perso...

The focus of this book is Andromalius, the 72nd demon in the Goetia, and how he functions as a mirror of Lucifer himself. In the process of illustrating the Lucifer/Andromalius entanglement, Camelia Elias tells stories about how Andromalius fares when dispatched to perform over and above what the Goetia prescribes. Andromalius doesn't merely deliver the mail, or 'find treasures, catch thieves, and punish the wicked, ' but rather functions as a...

In the enlivening tradition of the dramaturgy to "adapt a story to actable form, " Non Buddhist Mysticism presents a radical reorientation to "spiritual" practice. Drawing from François Laruelle's concept of future mysticism and the author's own previous work on non-buddhism, Glenn Wallis galvanizes a materialist spirituality for the twenty-first century. Liberated from the punctilious gaze of the masters, delivered into the hands (and hearts)...

Magicians of all kinds combine our natural human interest in power with our natural human interest in mystery.

This is a book of photographs and fragments. As a spell and as a talisman. In other words, a grimoire. Gelatin silver prints developed in the darkroom prompt reflections on sensuality and magic. It's not only about what you hear, taste, smell, see, and touch. It's about how you do it. But there's no instruction. Who can teach others how to sense the world? The only thing you can say is that in this sensing, what you experience is the astonishm...
