{"product_id":"the-art-of-the-occult","title":"The Art of the Occult: A Visual Sourcebook for the Modern Mystic","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlchemy, spiritualism and sacred geometry have given artists an extraordinary vocabulary of forms and symbols. S. Elizabeth’s The Art of the Occult introduces this meeting of visual art and mystical thought, exploring how beliefs beyond everyday experience have shaped the pictures artists create.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEssays accompany more than 175 artworks, drawing connections between the Pre-Raphaelites, the automatic drawing of Hilma af Klint and Madge Gill, and Leonora Carrington’s imaginative engagement with myth. The selection encourages readers to look for relationships between a work’s appearance and the ideas behind it: the significance of a shape, the suggestion of a ritual or the presence of an unfamiliar emblem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 240-page hardback is an accessible visual sourcebook for readers interested in symbolism, esoteric traditions and the history of artistic imagination. It offers a way into these subjects through artworks, with plenty to reward both sustained reading and browsing. Particularly suited to anyone drawn to the mysterious imagery that runs through dark and visionary art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-family:inherit;font-size:1.1em;font-weight:500;\"\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor \/ contributors: S.
