"Regulus of First Woman am I,
From the Antient Well of Blood first come;
By Black Earth blest, and curs’d by Red Clay.
Bitter by parts, I am sweet in sum:
The Flesh that shall the One Fire withstand.
Pour’d out, pour’d out in wonder am I,
As Good Water from the Desert Rock,
To assuage the unknown thirst of Man.
Ars Philtron’s second edition of 2008 is subtitled ‘Edition Codex Vasculum’, and is the definitive edition of this work. Expanded text and imagery not seen in the first edition is present, as is the 27-stanza Elixirs of the Faithful Gods, a poetic cipher of the fluidic media which permeate the Sabbatic Mysterium."

Limited Book and Deck set.
The Serpent Ikons: A Sorcerous Distortion of the Tarot de Marseille Major Arcana is a card deck, philosophical commentary, and grimoire; combining at the very heart of its creation primal art, writing, and magickal practice. Forged in the fire of passion for the Mysteries, the Serpent Ikons are an oblation to the Self and its Daemon in the most sacred of experiences – one’s Life as a deliberate, Initiatory journey fashioned by the creativity and will of the magician.
The Serpent Ikons have their roots in the revolt against any religious authority imposing a singular and unilateral relationship with spiritual forces. They embrace the Witch’s way; that torturous path that defies dogma and distorts order. In The Serpent Ikons, the major arcana of the Tarot de Marseille have been subverted to act as a transgression of the Tarot tradition: the Operant needs only the Self for guidance, and prognostications are consciously chosen then brought into being through ritual with one’s Daemon.

Always, the Devil is presented as a beacon of decadence and indulgence, whether fair or foul. And, whether droll or tragic, he does – in spite of his bad press – appear always to have our best interests at heart. Perhaps this is why many of us have a soft spot for this notorious rebel who reflects, as he does, the all too human element within. As supreme chimera, he is without peer; his amorphous ambiguity allows him to cross continents, cultures, and time effortlessly; he afflicts art and society in ever more creative and challenging ways… To know his work, we must seek what lies beneath the final mask.
