"Alan Moore on Austin Spare (2010)" - The Culture Show (Documentary)

Legendary graphic novel author Alan Moore explores the biggest public art exhibition of Austin Osman Spare for over 50 years, and discovers why Spare, an Edwardian virtuoso artist and occult magician has been left off art history's canon.

Austin Osman Spare (30 December 1886 – 15 May 1956) was an English artist who developed idiosyncratic magical techniques including automatic writing, automatic drawing and sigilization based on his theories of the relationship between the conscious and unconscious self. His artistic work is characterized by skilled draughtsmanship exhibiting a mastery of the use of the line, and often employs monstrous or fantastic magical and sexual imagery.

Foreword

I have decided to create this blog with only one main objective:

To gather and share as many occult works that is possible.

As a matter of fact this is because of the stupid attitude and arrogance of some people that are currently dealing with the occult knowledge at this times. About these people, I usually like to think on the words of 19th century French historian Jules Michelet on his "La Sorcière" small book:

- "(...) The judge is always sure of doing justice; anyone brought before him is inevitably guilty, and if he defends himself, doubly guilty. No call for Justice to sweat, and rack its brains in order to distinguish true and false; in every case the decision is a foregone conclusion. The logician likewise and the schoolman may spare themselves the trouble of analysing the soul of man, of examining the phases through which it passes, of considering its complexity, its internal disparities and self-contradictions. No need, as we feel ourselves bound to do, to explain how, by slow and subtle degrees, the soul may grow vicious instead of virtuous. These refinements, these doubts and difficulties and scruples, if they understood them at all, how they would laugh at them, and shake their heads in scorn, and how gracefully would the fine long ears that ornament their empty pates waggle to and fro!"

This is my personal gift for all of you out there. I would like to ask just two things while downloading these material:

1 - If it is possible, support the authors (at least, the live ones) by buying the original printed editions.

2 - Please, DO NOT upload these PDF's on the "The Occult.bz". They are a bunch of shit heads.

That said, have fun!!
