DescriptionThe Book of Q’ab iTz appears as a vessel for the sorcerer. For contained within is the evidence of a practitioner who has dedicated years to the arte magical. As an artist and practitioner of the crooked path David Herrerias has emerged as a contemporary mystic. With a similar style to Austin Osman Spare and Andrew Chumbley, The Book of Q’ab iTz will surely be regarded as the most revered enchiridion for the dreaming Self.Emerging as a record of his work based on Andrew Chumbley’s Dragon Book of Essex, Qutub and Azoetia. As well as the work of Spare such as The Zoetic Grimoire of Zos and The Book of Pleasure. Yet it also offers something more to the reader. By manifesting only part of a greater living spiritual interaction with daemons and familiars. Herrerias manages to produce an evolved emanation of these previous masters. Combining his Mexican cultural background with the western occultism. He presents an opportunity to engage with a pantheon of tricksters, familiars, Gods, and Goddesses. It acknowledges the influence of others. It is not a simple reflection of the past, but rather marks the evolution of the mysteries based on individual endeavour.Appealing to those who are interested in understanding the power of oneiric experience and the ophidian current. This is after all a truly unique expression of a work which is happening Now. There are few who have shown the capacity of being able to capture the spirit. Yet through word, deed and art The Book of Q’ab iTz has accomplished this with distinct aplomb. Contains 60 pieces of artwork as well as the written workings and insights from David Herrerias.Atramentous Press ✢ 2019 Limited hardcover edition bound in natural terracotta cover with central insignia and heritage blue endpapers. 1st Press Limited Edition of 333 copies
