From the publisher:
One of only 217 numbered limited editions were created (19cm x 15cm x 5cm, 240pp). Hardback in full BLACK leather binding. The leather is blocked and inset. To make manifest the natures of the work, there are two versions; one predominantly black with red insets, the other predominantly red with black insets. The endpapers are of Himalayan paper with a doublure panel inset into the pastedown which is made from to layers of pure silk organza. The netlike weaves of these layers create shimmering interference patterns that move as the book is handled, though these is hard to capture with a camera. The also give an impression of depth, that one is looking into the book’s covers. The shimmering is carried on with the edges of the pages which are blocked with a holographic pattern. Book comes with the optional slipcase and chemise. Book is in near fine condition with some light rubbing to the slipcase otherwise in fine unread condition.
This graphic grimoire is a manifestation of the Saturn Gnosis as taught by Michael Bertiaux who contributes an Introduction and Afterword, the latter being the record of a séance that was intended to secure the voudon passporté that secures access to the realms articulated in the book. The passporté – was then realised through full colour automatic art by Bertiaux – it is reproduced in the back of the book for the use of the reader. As with many mundane passports, the passporté is laminated.
The original artwork which forms this grimoire was executed in a variety of techniques including pen and ink, papercuts and digital formats. Its spiritual and symbolic form is designed to enable the deeper realms of the unconscious and its attendant powers to be realised. Twenty five of the talismanic images in the book are manifested in metal, being blocked in silver coloured metallic foil upon a background of pure silk. The silk plaque is then embedded in the page. It is intended that there should be some slight loss of foil, as the acquire a suitable aged appearance.
These books are entirely handmade.
The structure of the book is thus:-
