“The erstwhile symbols no longer express what is welling up in the unconscious as the end result of the development of Christian consciousness throughout the centuries.

This end-result is a true ANTIMIMON PNEUMA, a false spirit of arrogance, hysteria, woolly-mindedness...”

Jean Delville, PARSIFAL, the ‘Pure Fool’ from Wolfram von Eschenbach’s Story of the Holy Grail. Parsifal is depicted as a trained occult initiate who is able to send and receive messages both clairvoyantly and clairaudiently.

@mikael_jibril I believe this figure is actually Triton, a sea god who was often portrayed abducting Nymphs- perhaps appropriate given the sinister nature of the place

WB Yeats, The Stolen Child

‘Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand.
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.’

Art: George William, AE Russell, The Stolen Child

SPONTANEOUS HUMAN COMBUSTION ..as it’s 2020 it’s surely due for a comeback? First heard about this as a kid from the photos Unexplained Magazine in the early 80s- it terrified me. Reinforced by reading Charles Dickens’ Bleak House at school where a character Krook dies from it.

Images from Austin Osman Spare’s recently rediscovered 1906 Tarot deck, found in the archives of the Magic Circle Museum in London. See ‘Lost Envoy’ by Strange Attractor press (sadly out of print)

Engraving ‘Melancholia I’ Albrecht Durer, 1514. The mystery woman ‘is not in a state of depressed inactivity. She is in an intense visionary trance, a state guaranteed against demonic intervention by angelic guidance’. On the wall the magical 4x4 square of Jupiter.
