Rereading Phil Baker’s biography of #AustinOsmanSpare : a book of many treasures. #AOS #zoskia #artist
Not even sure this one by #AOS has a name but reading the book it seems names are as slippery as his paintings. #williamblake is in him here, too. In colour.
And obviously I knew already that the #TempleOvPsychickYouth #rituals & #sigils that I dabbled in as a youth were influenced by #austinosmanspare but now I’m digging deeper it’s not just influence it’s downright direct lifting / theft - maybe that was always very clear; it was all a long time ago & the #spirits were flying. Would be interested to hear from anyone else who was involved in that kind of #magick / magical practice
@REEL yeah… GPO. So many people idolized them, so I can’t trash talk! But read that new Coil book (Everything Keeps Dissolving), but Cosey’s book really nailed it.
@REEL fantastic book, eh? I love that he’d dress up as Crowley around town just antagonize him!
