Binding Images: The Contemporary Use and Efficacy of Late Antique Ritual Sigils, Spirit-Beings, and Design Elements. (16th November 2018) - Johnston, Jay
Abstract : This article investigates the legacy and "re-use" of image and design elements from Late-Antique ritual texts in contemporary magical practice. Examples are drawn from "The Theban Magical Library" and The Books of Jeu (Codex Brucianus). The analysis includes consideration of epistemology, concepts of embodiment, and relation between image and text.
