Act I of III of The Page of Wands - Heaven & Hellhound is a work of dark literary fiction that weaves together the occult, esoteric philosophy and the eternal struggle between light and shadow. Volume One - The Page of Wands - breaches the eternal threshold where ancient mysteries collide with modern consciousness. Drawn from that liminal space, what divides the sacred from the profane dissolves into something unspeakably horrifying. But for the lantern's light, the dark night of the soul enshrouds.
Written by B. Authentick, inspired by the engravings of Gustave Dore and the ferocious vision of Vincent van Gogh, this tome is more than a book - it is a talisman, a portal and a companion for those who dare to peer through the veil.
A Trans-Atlantic tale set in 1964 in England and California, the tale channels the esoteric traditions of the Western mystery schools through the lens of Metaphysical Realism, a novel literary mode. It affords a means to storytelling in which the occult is not decoration but physics, the muse is not metaphor but visitor, and the body's toll is commensurate to the malediction which afflicts its soul. Heaven & Hellhound is a work of literary innovation, published as the foundational text of Metaphysical Realism.
