| | Austin Spare - FT 144 |
 | | Spare was less interested in magical beliefs than in the nature of belief itself - he was interested in 'how' to believe, and not 'what' to believe. | | | Like Salvador Dali and Baron Corvo, Spare was one of the great confabulators: a lie, he used to say, was just a truth in the wrong place. | | | Spare was too young for the original Golden Dawn, but after its schismatic break up he joined Aleister Crowley' s new order, the Argenteum Astrum, in 1909. |

| | Austin Osman Spare and the Zos Kia Cultus |
| | Spare explains the Sabbath as "an inverse-reversion for self-seduction; an undoing for a divertive conation. | | | Spare believed that the personal aesthetic culture (that is, the individual's idea of what constitutes beauty and ugliness) when exalted as the criterion of value in itself, has destroyed more affective affinity that any other "belief". | | | Spare could undoubtedly materialize atavisms from his own subconsciousness and clothe them fleetingly in the sexual ectoplasm (or astral semen) of his atmospheric copulations. |

| | Austin Osman Spare: The Nescient Father of Chaos |
| | Spare seems to continue many of the ideas from The Book of Pleasure here, about self-love, belief and the chaos of the normal. | | | It was primarily meant to be a book of drawings, but included commentaries that showed some of his insight into the workings of the human mind and his spiritual leanings. | | | It is also in this book that Spare describes his 'neither-neither' principle and that of 'free belief'. |

| | Since Spare was a member of the Golden Dawn it is reasonable to believe that he was exposed to the Tarot, particularly the Tarot Spread used by the Order. | | | Apart from the occult insights, it is fascinating to see a slice of London life between 1949 and 1956. | | | Note well: all the indications essential for the Psychic Knowledge necessary for developing this specialized ability are given in The Logomachy. |

| | THEE SIGIL GARDEN |
| | Given that Spare himself counselled the conscious forgetting of the purpose of the sigil, it appeared to me that the yogic style of concentration was the correct method of meditating on the sigil. | | | A Sigil formed according to the A O Spare method is a non-verbal form of communication. | | | The manner of use of these sigils was very unlike the manner described by Spare himself. |

| | Still, to be on the safe side, Maas has taken out insurance against any evil goings-on by inviting a Catholic priest to the opening bash. | | | The son of a policeman, Spare was born in Holborn in 1886 and showed talent as an artist from the age of four. | | | Spare's early work, illustrative and intense with complete mastery of the flowing line and delicate wash, bears comparison with Aubrey Beardsley and Arthur Rackham but also, in its arcane references to Egyptian mythology, sex and other-worldly creatures, with the European symbolists. |

| | Austin Osman Spare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Spare's artistic and magical publications include Earth Inferno, The Book of Pleasure, The Focus of Life, manuscripts of Logomachy of Zos and Zoetic Grimoire of Zos which remained uncompleted at the time of his death on May 15, 1956. | | | Critics likened his work to that of Aubrey Beardsley, but Spare's images were full of grotesque, sexualized human figures and magical symbols. | | | His iconoclasm and aversion to moralism as well as his sigilization served to distinguish his personal style of magic (termed by Kenneth Grant the "Zos Kia Cultus") from others. |

| | Ecstatic sexual activity and sexual polarity is liberated from the conventional and mundane by means of embracing the ugly and deformed, a technique famously employed by Crowley though one should note too that a power associated with Traditional witchcraft is the ability to flick between an appearance of repulisve ugliness and alluring beauty. | | | The following pencil drawings were made by Spare c.1924 being associated with the eries of drawings published in the Book of Ugly Ecstasy, Fugur 1996. | | | A hirsute woman in classic Spare pose with a lighting bolt emerging from one eye and a tear from the other. |

| | It, rather helpfully, gives an account of Spare’s introduction to cartomancy, and subsequently, his understanding and use of forecasting cards, placing it in context. | | | The first of the two brief articles written by Spare is merely the instructions initially included with the ‘Surrealist Forecasting Cards’; which describes the general purpose of the cards, and methods for using them. | | | Though perhaps more interesting that the short treatises are the pictures that accompany the texts; self-portrait, photographs, and reproductions of Spare’s divination cards. |
