An excellent essay in which Spare's personal systems of sorcery are explored, clarified and augmented with judicious application of the artist's own words. Here are excerpts from Spare's last unpublished grimoire 'The Logomachy of Zos' alongside the early text of 'The Book of Pleasure', clearly demonstrating the strength and consistency of his vision through life. Semple explains the techniques of sorcery that imbued Spare's art with such power and demonstrates the methods by which these potentials are controlled and made manifest.
