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.

Historiola (hardback) by Carl Nordblom
£29.99
Hardback edition, limited to 500 copies.
In the beginning was the word, and for as long as there has been language, there has been power within the use of words. Incantations and spoken charms apply nuance, narrative, rhyme, and cadence to achieve magical effects, commonly divided into healing, hexing, and procuring. Modern academic scholarship, focusing on their historical relevance, refers to magical narrative charms as historiolae, which are explored here within numerous cultures of antiquity including Sumerian, Egyptian, Greek, and Indian through to Norse and Christian examples.
The author’s native Scandinavian tradition of troll formulae uses short narratives with a powerful protagonist (such as Jesus, saints, Mary, three maidens, mythical figures) performing the required action to heal, or hex. The narrative recounts a series of events, which the speaker through sympathetic magic manifests into action through the power of the protagonist and their actions. The story-telling aspect of the charms also provides a visual component to the charm, activating the power of imagination in both speaker and (if appropriate) recipient.
Through his exploration of the components of historiolae and associated ritual components, Carl Nordblom lucidly and concisely demonstrates the practice of narrative charms, equipping the reader with everything needed to incorporate or enhance their use in personal practice. And the word was with magic, and the word was magic.
