Source Magic : The Origin of Art, Science, and Culture
Since the dawn of time, magic is the node around which all human activities and culture revolve.As magic entered the development of science, art, philosophy, religion, myth, and psychology, it still retained its essence: that we have a dynamic connection with all other forms of life. Exploring the source magic that flows beneath the surface of culture and occulture throughout the ages, Carl Abrahamsson offers a “magical-anthropological” journey from ancient Norse shamanism to the modern magick of occultists like Genesis P-Orridge.He looks at how human beings relate to and are naturally attracted to magic.He examines in depth the consequences of magical practice and how the attraction to magic can be corrupted by both religious organizations and occult societies.He shows how the positive effects of magic are instinctively grasped by children, who view the world as magical. The author looks at magic and occulture as they relate to psychedelics, Witchcraft, shamanism, Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth (TOPY), the panic rituals of the Master Musicians of Joujouka in Morocco, psychological individuation processes, literary “magical realism,” and the cut-up technique of Beat icons like William S.Burroughs and Brion Gysin. He explores the similarities in psychology between poet Ezra Pound and magician Austin Osman Spare.He looks at the Scandinavian Fenris Wolf as a mythic force and how personal pilgrimages can greatly enrich our lives.He also examines the philosophy of German author Ernst Jünger, the magical techniques of British filmmaker Derek Jarman, and the quintessential importance of accepting our own mortality.

The Sun : The Source of Light in Art
For as long as humans have been making art, they have turned to the sun as the source of light, warmth and life itself.It appears as a symbol of limitless power, as the personification of gods and of Christ, and as a harbinger of change.Artists have also used the sun as a means of exploring light and color and as an entree into discussions about climate.The first of its kind, this catalog investigates visual representations of the sun from antiquity to the present day.It is divided into seven roughly chronological sections that look at both epoch-spanning and period specific examples, including symbolic, allegorical representations, the iconography of mythological subjects, and mimetic qualities such as typology, phenomenology, and emotional effect.It includes more than two hundred stunning reproductions of well- and lesser-known works.Incisive and enlightening texts explore how solar symbolism figured in pre-Christian objects through 17th-century depictions of the "Sun King" Louix XIV; how artists such as Rubens and Monet employed the sun in their narrative paintings; how the Impressionists first investigated the sun's effects on a landscape; how Neo-Impressionist such as Seurat experimented with color based on the Newtonian analysis of the solar spectrum; and how 20th-century artists incorporated a broad array of abstract, surrealistic, and transformative modes of solar representation into a variety of media.

Why don't I understand the source for ancient history?
Understanding the source for ancient history can be challenging for several reasons. Firstly, the sources themselves may be fragmented, incomplete, or biased, making it difficult to piece together an accurate picture of the past. Additionally, the language and writing style of ancient texts may be unfamiliar and require specialized knowledge to interpret. Furthermore, the cultural and societal context of ancient civilizations may be vastly different from our own, making it challenging to relate to or comprehend the motivations and actions of people from that time. Finally, the sheer passage of time and distance from the events being studied can create a barrier to understanding, as it can be difficult to fully grasp the mindset and circumstances of ancient peoples.
