Description

Ekphrasis as Divination: An Incantation Catalogue is an inward exploration into self by way of mythic card divination reading and language baptism. This collection, composed almost entirely in the form of found language beginning first with Theo Hall's mythos and fortune telling cards, Kandinsky's Concerning the Spiritual in Art, T.S. Eliot's "The Wasteland", Waite's The Pictorial Key to the Tarot (written in 1911 and was likely the work Eliot referenced when he was writing "The Wasteland"), and The Tarot of the Bohemians: The Most Ancient Book in the World, for the Use of Initiates by Papus (translated by A.P Morton, with the preface written by Waite as well), Keats' Letters, and a few phrases Lear collected along this journey. In these pages you will find your fortune burned and bleeding into the colorful language landscape we all look to transcend.
