	Austin Osman Spare § Austin O. Spare by R.E.D. Sketchley
		Spare has realised his power to control and purify his imagination, it must be that the forms of his art will image no more a “Chaos of the abnormal”, but a Cosmos, an ordering of beauty in the image of perfect beauty.
		Spare, as it now is, is not the true reflection of what is essential in his vision of life.
		But already Austin Spare is reaching towards greater simplicity if idea, and, at the same time, towards a fuller technical accomplishment, more assured draughtsmanship and composition, the use of colour in oil and tempera as well as water-colour.

		AUSTIN SPARE (1886-1956), an artist of unusual gifts and attainments and of an even more unusual personality, died on May 15th 1956, in hospital in London at the age of 67.
		A.O. Spare was the son of a policeman, born in late Victorian London thirteen years after Aleister Crowley and only a few years removed from the founding of the Order of the Golden Dawn, though he was never a member.
		This in itself is "magic." Spare's most significant contribution to modern magickal practice, however, was his creation of the "Alphabet of Desire," a system of distilling desire down to its essence and implanting it in the subconscious to do its work.

	Austin Osman Spare and the Zos Kia Cultus
		Spare too was able occasionally to conjure thought-forms to visible appearance, but whereas in the old witch's case it was an unfailing power, in his own case it was erratic and uncertain.
		Spare's frequent traffic with denizens of invisible realms led to his evolving a graphic means of conjoining all thoughts- past, present, and future- in the ever-fluid ether of Consciousness.
		Spare drew one of his magical sigils, which, instead of being symbolic of the unknown desired object, was the ideograph of a familiar spirit whose services he frequently employed when any mind-reading was required.

	Austin Osman Spare at { feuilleton } (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Spare was born in London in 1886 and like many other artists from the 19th and early 20th century had come back into favour thanks to the attentions of a new generation with an interest in mysticism and decadence.
		This view can be reinforced in many of Spare’s self-portraits whereas Crowley’s reputation as “the wickedest man in the world” tends to be undermined by photographs of him in later life as a genial old duffer, albeit one with a formidable heroin habit and a talent for ruining the lives of those around him.
		Occult matters aside, what I value in Spare’s work is his uniqueness of vision, exceptional draughtsmanship and a rare ability to produce a drawing or painting where the quality of distinct “otherness” is so pronounced you can’t help but feel that the image of something genuinely non-human had been captured on paper or board.

		Austin Osman Spare (December 30, 1886 - May 15, 1956 EV) was an English artist and magician.
		Spare expressed contempt at the idea of selling his works at higher prices - an option he could easily have had.
		His iconoclasm and aversion to moralism as well as his sigilization served to distinguish his personal style of magic (the "Zos Kia Cultus") from others, and were influential on the Western esoteric tradition that later came to be known as chaos magic.
