Chaos Magick & Contemporary Occultism

The Focus of Life

by Austin Osman Spare

A sequel of sorts to The Book of Pleasure, combining aphorisms on Zos, Kia and desire with drawings from Spare's mature period. It is one of the few magical texts Spare published in his lifetime and develops his themes of atavism, self-love and the rejection of belief.
