 Ouroboros Press has received many requests to publish an edition of the Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz over the years and I am very pleased to announce that we are about to do just that. The press has commissioned woodcut artist Dexter Brightman to make special illustrations for the project. Several full-page illustrations, an exquisite portrait of Johann Valentine Andreae and ornamental decorations by Brightman bring this classic Rosicrucian text alive. Augmenting the Renaissance style these woodcuts provide we have selected the Doves typeface as complementary to the overall design of the book. A very limited number of copies of the woodcut portrait of Andreae will be printed by hand on an antique printing press by the artist to raise funds toward the printing of the book. Special deluxe bindings will also be offered for this publication. To be put on the notification list for this title email [email protected] with the subject line: CHYMICAL WEDDING.  Dexter Brightman working on drawing, cutting and inking the Andeae portrait.
 We have temporarily closed book sales on the website between March 10 and April 30 while away for a Residency in Los Angeles. I will continue to sell and ship out the Hand of the Philosophers letterpress print from Los Angeles. Book sales will begin again upon my return in Late April. Below is a schedule of events I will be participating in including a Mortlake and Company / Ouroboros Press Pop-Up at the Magicians Mercantile at 22 Teachings [LOS ANGELES TAKE NOTE].

Hannah Haddix is an Arizona-born, Seattle-based, multidisciplinary artist & world traveler. Relinquishing a Rhodes Scholarship, she dropped out ov NYC's School ov Visual Arts when Genesis P-Orridge asked her to go on a 2 month Russian & European tour with Psychic Tv in 2007. Hannah lived in The Gates Institute with the Breyer P-Orridges and was heavily influenced and inspired by the Arte, Magick & Mentorship within the art cult commune. Adopting Brion Gysin & William Burroughs' cut-up method, she discovered the transcendental utility ov communicating with her subconscious self through collage work used in ritual context. Haddix explored a stint ov naked, chaotic, fluid-drenched ritual performance art, during which she dirtied the stages ov The Rubin Museum in Manhattan, Museum ov Contemporary Art in Tucson & Lethal Amounts in Los Angeles.
