Goêtic Atavisms

Go皻ic Atavisms is designed to be an uncompromising and challenging book. Written in mutual exchange between practitioners Frater Acher and Craig Slee, two radical views and explorations of applied go皻ia emerge. The book will be able to be read from both sides; behind one cover containing the chapters by Acher, behind the other those by Craig Slee, and where they meet in the middle a preface by none other than Frater U∴D∴.

In their own unique voices, the authors draw the reader in and call on them to bring go皻eia to life in their own flesh. Over twelve chapters, packed with historic detail and practical experimentations, the reader is guided to take a fresh look at such diverse bodies of go皻ic work as Zosimos of Panopolis, Germanic and Old Iranian folklore, Goethe's Faust and the Earth Spirit, Austin Osman Spare's oeuvre, as well as modern forms of corporeality such as pornography, tattoo culture, and bodily disability. Go皻ic Atavisms was written not only to be a sensual experience, but to facilitate magical touch.
