Pillars Journal Arrived!

21 Dec

Finally… This journal has been on a long journey from Canada to Germany (thanks to German customs) but after 8 weeks I could finally hold it in my own hands. Others, who had received their copy weeks earlier have already been marvelling on the issue’s excellence. Indeed I was impressed too now. Some facts: Great editing and design by Gabriel Mc Caugry. Essays and Artwork are thoughtfully arranged. I am happy about the placement of my Heqet-Hekate illustration in between the contributions by Ash Nostro Morg and Jeremy Christner. There is also the extra card that came with the release, which has my illustration and sigil design printed on fine art carton. Lastly the transparent end-papers are a nice touch too. Here are some photos for your viewing pleasure:

Illustration: Pillars Periodical Journal

Preview of the Illustrated Card to go with Pillars Periodical Journal, Issue 1, Vol. 1

Card contains:

Hand-inked Lucifer Seal with characters and evocational formula from the Grimorium Verum and personal Teufelskunst seal. The surrounding illustrations are semi-automatic, born from chaotic lines drawn randomly on paper until figures took shape. I was aiming for a sketchy and relaxed style, something which does not want to be admired but communicates essence and inspiration to fellow practitioners on the Path, passing on overall positive energies. I still traced and erased much in the search for fitting figurative elements and I did not use any references except for a pair of crossed human femur bones.

This is a preview. The entire illustration will come as a card to go with the first issue of Pillars Periodical Journal.

Here is another snippet from the card as well as an obscured preview of the Heqet-Hekate illustration going inside:
