(Cover Art) 260 pages, Vrij Werk Publishers Amsterdam 2010 hard cover, heavily illustrated, 15 euro isbn 978-90-814274-1-8 What is the connection between a squatted warehouse and an age old hermetic manuscript? The Crata Repoa was the inspiration behind all Western mystery traditions and tells the story of a fictional Egyption cult with many secret and strange initiations. This story is explained by the experiences of the writer during his years of magic and hermetic training and practice. It is illustrated against de background of the big temple like spaces of an old deserted warehouse, which for some time was actually the working space of the author. The story of this building combined with the with the Crata Repoa text, will bring the dusty past right into the center of modern subculture and the symbolism that they both could share. |
