Nearly 40 nearly forgotten essays on magic and esotericism by Ithell Colquhoun.
Writer, artist, and wilfully dissident surrealist Ithell Colquhoun (1906-1988) invested her unique works with magical learning, esoteric lore, and a palpable sense of mystery. Despite having published widely on esoteric and occult topics during her lifetime, Colquhoun was never to produce a single book length edition of her magical writings. As a result, many of her essays were lost or neglected.
This edition features a watercolor of the Sigillum Dei Aemeth created according to Ithell’s instructions, along with a digitally coloured version, allowing greater control over hue since Ithell was always meticulous about hue and its meaning.
