“Envisioning the Dream Through Art and Science” by Robert G. Kuzendorf and James W. Veatch

Magick Matters

"This monograph is the product of an interdisciplinary experiment—an artistic experiment and a psychological experiment—focused on dreams. Inspired by the prevalence of dream imagery and "dream logic" in surrealist art, the authors asked 100 art students to create digital images representing critical scenes from one of their dreams, then to create a surrealist collage from the digital images. The resulting collages tend to capture the surreality envisioned in actual works of surrealist art, as two collages included in the book illustrate.

“The Perfect Medium: Photography and the Occult” by Clément Chéroux et al

Magick Matters

"The mesmerizing photographic history of occult phenomena, from levitations and apparitions to spectres, ghosts, and auras. In the early days of photography, many believed and hoped that the camera would prove more efficient than the human eye in capturing the unseen.
