  • If you like AOS check out Fulgur Publishing.

  • A fantastic snapshot of this famous artist and occultist. Also, a good introduction for the neophyte to the world of A. O. Spare. Thank you for uploading.

  • Enjoyed this a lot! Thanks my friend and warmest regards.

  • I have just recently discovered AOS! So fascinating! The artwork is disturbing and actually powerful! His automatic writing is impressive as well. He is probably as unknown as Crowley is known!

  • i want alan moores eva ring

  • @Artstaristic Austin is my cousin thrice removed. I think I picked up some of his skills in art and occult magic, although I prefer to paint landscapes rather than nudes.

  • My grandfather was a magician and my grandma was AOS's childhood sweetheart! Her name was E.Murch.Mitchell and Spare spent time doing designs (ex libris) for her! I was amazed at his artwork! I spent time with Spares sister as a child (she too was a great artist). My artwork is more towards a childish Blake style! Not exactly acceptable to mainstream churchianity and I am told magic too! However I thoroughly agree with Moore! The secretary for my Grandfather was named Moore? check out Asgaerd

  • Thanks for this.I didnt get to see the exhibition, I wish I had now.

  • It's the portraits that astounded me. I've seen thee magickal stuff all over the place in the underground occult press in thee 80s. BUT THE PORTRAITS! They just made me weep!
