A visual feast of eclectic artwork informed and inspired by spiritual beliefs, magical techniques, mythology and otherworldly experiences. Mystical beliefs and practices have existed for millennia, but why do we still chase the esoteric? From the beginning of human creativity itself, image-makers have been drawn to these unknown spheres and have created curious artworks that transcend time and place – but what is it that attracts artists to these magical realms? From theosophy and kabbalah, to the zodiac and alchemy; spiritualism and ceremonial magic, to the elements and sacred geometry – The Art of the Occult introduces major occult themes and showcases the artists who have been influenced and led by them. Discover the symbolic and mythical images of the Pre-Raphaelites; the automatic drawing of Hilma af Klint and Madge Gill; Leonora Carrington's surrealist interpretation of myth, alchemy and kabbalah; and much more. Featuring prominent, marginalised and little-known artists, The Art of the Occult crosses mystical spheres in a bid to inspire and delight. Divided into thematic chapters (The Cosmos, Higher Beings, Practitioners), the book acts as an entertaining introduction to the art of mysticism – with essays examining each practice and over 175 artworks to discover. The art of the occult has always existed in the margins but inspired the masses, and this book will spark curiosity in all fans of magic, mysticism and the mysterious.
STAY AND SIT A SPELL "Don't take to the moon, much. I don't care if it is full. Prefer my feet grounded and head out of the clouds, thank you very much," said Adélaïde Rieux. The old witch glared at the werewolf. His fur was matted with drying mud and scum from the swamp outside. He glared but couldn't growl. He couldn't do much of anything after her spell. The werewolf was paralyzed and rigid, yet completely aware of his surroundings. His arched form was comical - suspended in midair and frozen in the moment of his attack. Adélaïde laughed at him. "Look at you. Scary ole beasty come down to eat up an old lady. Some old ladies won't take to that, either. Me being one that can do something about it," she scolded. The eyes of the werewolf followed her. The pure animal hatred had left. There was a touch of humanity in them now. And fear. Adélaïde said, "Maybe I should eat you. How'd you like that?" The werewolf whined. It tugged at her heartstrings. "Ahh, you silly thing. I don't have the heart to eat such a lovely creature. But I sure put a whammy on you, I'm afraid. Take a month to wear off." The werewolf whined again. Adélaïde sighed. The monster had startled her and sometimes she just didn't know her own strength. "I'm sorry. I don't have a counter spell. Just have to wear off. But, the good news is that I'll finally have me some company whilst I cast a few spells." The old witch walked up to the werewolf, gently stroking his dark fur. She took a withered old tea towel and dipped it in her boiling cauldron, currently only heating water for her laundry. Adélaïde lovingly wiped muck from the werewolf's thick coat. "I tell you what I'm going to do, wolf. So you don't get bored, I am going to tell you a story about each of the spells I am going to cast. One a day until Halloween. How'd you like that?" she asked. Though the werewolf couldn't reply, she could swear she saw a twinkle in his eye. Adélaïde grabbed her spellbook and opened to the first page. Things were about to get hairy, but were dispelled just in time. How enchanting! Explore these spells of short stories, haunting tales begging to be read by the firelight underneath a witch's cauldron. Bubbling spells out story after story for each October eve right up to Halloween! 31 magical maladies. 31 scary spells. 31 creepy cauldron concoctions. 31 SPELLS FOR OCTOBER
A classic tale of terror and grotesquerie by the original master of horror H. P. Lovecraft proclaimed his Dunwich Horror "so fiendish" that his editor at Weird Tales "may not dare to print it." The editor, fortunately, knew a good thing when he saw it. One of the core Cthulhu stories, The Dunwich Horror introduces us to the grim village of Dunwich, where each member of the Whateley family is more grotesque than the other. There's the grandfather, a mad old sorcerer; Lavinia, the deformed, albino woman; and Wilbur, a disgusting specimen who reaches full manhood in less than a decade. And above all, there's the mysterious presence in the farmhouse, unseen but horrifying, which seems to be growing . . . Wilbur tracks down an original edition of the Necronomicon and breaks into a library to steal it. But his reward eludes him: he gets caught, and the result is death by guard dog. Meanwhile, left unattended, the monster at the Whateley house keeps expanding, until the farmhouse explodes and the beast is unleashed to terrorize the poor, aggrieved village of Dunwich. As chilling today as it was upon its publication in 1929, The Dunwich Horror is a horrifying masterwork by the man Stephen King called "the twentieth century's greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale."
