The Art of Fosco Culto
£45.00
Fosco Culto became known for her paintings reflecting a continued commitment to the Path and a lasting alliance with the nocturnal and chthonic forces of night-wandering & sabbatic Sorcery.
Her creations manifests as much the numen of the Obscure Feminine as the theological figures of the Adversary. She captures in them the demonic features of the spectral horde of hecatean ghosts, the alluring gazes of siren-like nymphs, the fiery blaze and ophidian majesty of the Watchers, Grigori and Fallen Ones, to transmit the gift of forbidden knowledge to mankind. Her work certainly brings to mind Rudolf Otto's 'Mysterium Tremendum et Fascinans' evoking the 'Sublime Sombre' of the Romantics and the visionary experiences felt by the artist, witch, or magician in a deep symbiosis with the grandeur of the Night.
By incarnating and reifying her visions through a vital communion with the Netherworld, Fosco Culto invites the viewer to cross the threshold, to the spirits world, keeping at gaze the haunted and vivid presence of their denizens, like whisperings, gathered for the first time in a very special limited edition.
The paintings are accompanied by a detailed biography of the author and an in-depth commentary by Per Faxneld, Ph.D. and Associate Professor in History of Religions and author of 'Satanic Feminism Lucifer as the Liberator of Woman in Nineteenth-Century Culture', who contextualizes them throughout the history of Art and the Magical Revival of Western esotericism.

The Serpent Ikons by Helena van El & Shandi AzK Bouscatier
£95.00
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.
The Devil's Supper by Shani Oates
£22.99
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.

The Discoverie of Witchcraft by Reginald Scot
out of stock - £79.99
Hand-numbered, limited edition.
The Discoverie of Witchcraft, published by Reginald Scot in 1584, is a groundbreaking work that challenges the existence of witchcraft and the widespread persecution of alleged witches. It is special for its comprehensive documentation of magical practices, spells, and conjurations, making it one of the earliest compendiums of magic and witchcraft. While aiming to debunk superstitions, Scot meticulously catalogued the occult knowledge of his time, preserving a wealth of information about historical magical traditions. The book promotes scepticism and rationalism while serving as an invaluable resource on early modern occultism.
Scot was deeply motivated by a desire to oppose the irrational and un-Christian prosecution of alleged witches. He held the Roman Catholic Church largely responsible for perpetuating these superstitions and targeted prominent writers such as Jean Bodin, author of Démonomanie des Sorciers, and Jacobus Sprenger, co-author of the infamous Malleus Maleficarum. In contrast, Scot respected figures like Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa and Johann Weyer, adopting some of their more rational views on demonology.
