The Cult of One
Exploring the Art and Magick of Austin Osman Spare
An illustrated lecture by Robert Ansell
Saturday November 10th, 7.30pm
The Cult of One is an analytical exploration of the celebrated artist and psychic Austin Osman Spare (1886-1956). In a 90-minute in-depth slide lecture, Robert Ansell will offer a re-analysis of Spare’s metaphysical philosophy and creative magical practices, drawing upon evidence from both traditional esoteric sources and recent developments in cognitive science. It will examine Spare’s primary techniques, including the Death Posture, the Neither-Neither principle and his philosophy of Self-Love, considering them in the context of the artist’s key influences. The lecture will be illustrated throughout with large projections of Spare’s art, many from the Fulgur archives. The evening will appeal to long-established devotees and newcomers alike.
Limited tickets are available, priced £10.00.
