Happiness is The Star, The Moon, The World. Happiness is shincha, the first and finest spring green tea from Japan, after a few hours of nakedness in the cold North Sea of the Atlantic Ocean, and playing hide and seek with the wind in camouflage among the stones of a favorite spot. Happiness is among the rocks of the Moon, under the bright skin of the Star, in a World of fine books and the ancient wisdom of the rose.

Rhymes. Because silk reflects the light, the ink next to its margins does the same.

More Goetic magic? Here's a cool encounter. Magic works with the spontaneity of chance encounters, such as the ones between word and number, or word and image. As I was signing Andromalius, when I got to copy 133, just before I closed the book it opened to page 66. I looked at the last line on that page. It consists of one word only: kinship. I’ll be damned, I thought to myself. There IS kinship, I said to myself and it comes as a bond. ‘I might be thinking of Lucifer,’ I also wrote on that page, right below the word Andromalius, which made me think of the entanglement between these two stars. I nodded, for this innocent bibliomancy here felt like a strengthening of my argument in the book. Great bonds all of them, including the kinship between the numbers 66 to 133. 133 is 66+66+1. There’s nothing like cool arithmetic associations. As everything is an abstract in performance, we go with this magic. I had to make a film for it, because why not? Especially since my head was well fumigated and irrigated: Dragon blood and wormwood. The evening dew in a fine crystal glass shimmered in the full moon’s silver light. Magic is magic… Andromalius launches on Tuesday at 6PM CPH. https://www.eyecorner.press/special-editions/p/andromalius

Some thoughts on the power of the books that make a direct transmission or how to craft a convincing talisman. What are the conditions for such magic, and why are some of these conditions counter-intuitive? This in an important discussion for all interested in what to make of magic beyond belief. Enjoy!

‘Are you a demonologist?’ some people ask me, and I always say, ‘absolutely.’ I mean it too. I’m very much invested in distinguishing between the whispers from demons, for instance. I like to know when the lesser imps talk, and when a devil of caliber intervenes. As a general rule, I instantly dismiss the incompetent demons whose seductions often consist of merely flattering my ego through an attempt to validate my genius. No thanks. Others, more sophisticated demons are more worthy of attention. New essay on EyeCorner Press about this. Enjoy!

I donned a sober dress and went out. EyeCorner Press business. My next book in line is my 31st overall, the 16th in the divination and demonology category, and the 2nd in the silk series. Indeed, serious business. When I look at EyeCorner Press that I started with 5 universities 16 years ago, I still like what I see. Every year I have good cause to celebrate. This year was the 1 year birthday of the Read like the Devil trilogy of books, marking a decade of sustained thinking about the philosophy and practice of reading cards. I made my mark through contributing to the field by stressing the importance of the question and the function a visual text performs. Before I entered this particular scene, no one talked about functions in relation to deconstructing the language of the symbolism of the cards. Some deemed my work as ‘too academic.’ Others embraced it as ‘a work of a genius.’ I myself don’t have any opinions about what I’ve been doing, other than pointing to what I find interesting that hasn’t been done before. But today it’s up to the strong printers I’ve elected to go with for the production of ‘Andromalius: Goetic Stories’ to make it even more interesting aesthetically speaking. If you liked the Oracle Travels Light, you will like this one even more. As with all my books, I don’t waste my time, and I imagine that I don’t waste the readers’ time either, unless these readers have agendas of their own. Either way, some things are flashing. Stay tuned, and thank you to the thousands who have been buying and reading my books over the years. This is the most serious business of all, to have captured the readers’ attention for reasons other than transacting with clichés.
