The Fenris Wolf Issue no 7 Edited by Carl Abrahamsson


The Fenris Wolf is an interesting compendium and a journal that is a good introduction to the diversities of comparative magico-anthropology and occultural research done by quite interesting characters.
The seventh volume brings names such as Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Frater Achad, Timothy O'Neill, Philip Farber, Kendell Geers, Sasha Chaitow, Derek Seagrief, Vera Nikolich, Alexander Nym, Vanessa Sinclair, Stephen Sennit, Antony Hequer, Patrick Lundborg, Henrik Dahl, Angela Edwards, Jason Louv, Kasper Opstrup, Peter Grey, Antti Balk, Kjetil Fjell, Sandy Robertson, Adam Rostoker, Emory Cranston, Manon Hedenborg-White, Sara George and editor of this issue - Carl Abrahamsson.
The first essay written by Sara George and Carl introduces the symbolist art of Fernand Khnopff - he used to be called "a pessimistc nihilist" by his contemporaries but in fact was a true believer of "One has only oneself" motto that helped him to convey and invoke the strangeness and individuality of subtle hues and shades of art that still evokes insightful thoughts and reflections through active silence of meditation of it.
Sasha Chaitow conjures an interesting text on synchronicity, inspiration and magic in the mundane - an essay where using his quite private reflections and musings he finds he references to end of the century, French revlution and its implications, thought of Josephin Peladan, Salon de la Rose + Croix.
Vanessa Sinclair as always brilliantly shows links of psychoanalysis with art, in this case, dada movement.
These are just a few of the interesting essays that the Fenris Wolf contains. What characterises this compendium is definitely bold personal statements of the authors that have both intellectual, academical and emotional capacity to show an interesting take on the subtleties of the culatural critique.
