The source text of modern sigil magic — written by the artist and magician who invented it.
Austin Osman Spare's The Book of Pleasure (Self-Love): The Psychology of Ecstasy, published in 1913, is the foundational document of sigil magic and one of the strangest, most original works in the Western esoteric tradition. Spare developed a system of magical practice rooted in the unconscious mind, the death of belief, and the creative power of the self — decades before psychology had the language to describe what he was doing.
Inside:
- Spare's theory of the Kia — the absolute self beyond ego and belief
- The original sigil method: creating symbols from statements of intent
- The "alphabet of desire" and Spare's unique approach to magical language
- Illustrated with Spare's own extraordinary artwork
- The philosophical and psychological foundations of Chaos Magic
Difficult, visionary, and irreplaceable. The book that changed the direction of Western magic in the 20th century.
