New book on Rosaleen Norton & Austin Osman Spare

Dark Spirits: The Magical Art of Rosaleen Norton and Austin Osman Spare,
Nevill Drury

Salamander & Sons, 2012, $126. Distributed through Weiser Antiquarian Books

Although they never met, the Australian witch Rosaleen Norton (1917-1979)
and British visionary artist Austin Osman Spare (1886-1956) shared many
points in common. As occult practitioners operating within the Western
esoteric tradition, both artists were well versed in the literature of
Western magic, Theosophy, kabbalah, Eastern mysticism, and modern
psychoanalysis. Fascinated by mediæval magical grimoires, they also explored
theseals associated with elemental spirit-beings and developed unique forms
of sigil magic. Perhaps even more significantly, Norton and Spare utilised
their own personal techniques of self-hypnosis and trance in order to
produce their distinctive visionary artworks. As this book demonstrates,
there is a clear parallel between the trance states associated with the Zos
/ Kia cosmology of Spare and the trance magic of Norton. Profiling both
artists in detail, and with in excess of 120 colour and black and white
images, Dark Spirits explores the unique contributions of both Spare and
Norton as visionary outsiders and is necessary reading for anyone interested
in the nether regions of the magical psyche.

> The topic for this week's discussion group is going to be very practical. As the song goes "What have you done for me laterly?" Let's talk about what Tantra/magic can do, how it does it, specific things we can apply it to. We might even do a wee quiet public ritual to help attendees get what they want out of the coming year...
