Chaos Magick & Contemporary Occultism

The Book of Pleasure (Self-Love)

The Psychology of Ecstasy

by Austin Osman Spare

Austin Osman Spare's 1913 work presents his personal magical philosophy, including his theory of the Kia and Zos and the technique of sigil magic. Illustrated with his own artwork, it describes methods of focusing desire and bypassing the conscious mind. It was a major influence on chaos magic and remains important for understanding Spare's unique contribution to modern occultism.
