(comment) The first edition of Austin Ottoman Spare's The Book of Pleasure (Self-Love): The Psychology of Ecstasy was self-published in 1913
A rare book that laid the foundation for modern magic, a culmination of Spare's unique mysterious thought and art. In this book, Spare's original techniques of "kia" (pure consciousness) and "cidil" (symbol of realizing desire) are systematized for the first time, and the path of self-liberation through unconsciousness and ecstasy is depicted in a poetic and esthetic style
Fantastic illustrations by automatic drawing will highlight his artistic talent and give him a unique experience that combines text and vision. This first edition, which has had a great influence on future generations as an important source of chaotic magic in the flow of modern magic, is extremely rare due to the limited number of self-published copies. For collectors interested in the history of magic and art, this is a supreme book with a spare soul (Kubota)
