The blood-body and the soul-mind meeting each other in the word, in things that grow and shift below – mycelia and nutritive rot, the green heart of a seed turning in the lightless deeps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sqsrte-large preFade fadeIn\"\u003eThe poetry in \u003cem\u003eMandragora\u003c\/em\u003e drives deep into the humus heart of experience – spellwork, praise, story, song. From the breathless brevity of haiku through the humming rhythm of the long meditation the thread of hidden history runs, telling in mosaic the story of the occultist, the witch, the worshipper, the scholar and the celebrant. Like Datura, this is a work of many voices from a rich diversity of practice, each burning the wick to illuminate a piece of the Great Work. Some voices will be familiar to those readers of the first anthology, some will be new, and all are testament to a continuing dedication to the sublime and challenging work of poetic and artistic craft in our communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sqsrte-large preFade fadeIn\"\u003eIn addition to the rich wilderness of poetry represented in these pages, \u003cem\u003eMandragora\u003c\/em\u003e also presents nine essays on the nature of the strange, mad, chymical wedding of poet and magic, and the occult euphoria that follows it through time and space. Throughout these pages we glimpse the ghost of Orpheus, that god-touched and wandering patron of verse, in explorations of the poet as seducer of the gods, the role of verse in ritual theatre, and the poet in relationship with the Muse. Twice we are invited to fix our hearts on the lives and works of specific voices from the history of esoteric poetry in essays on Ted Hughes and Fernando Pessoa. The prophetic voice of the poet is explored, specifically in relationship to Brigid, as is the role of poetry in the grimoire tradition, the use of the cut-up technique in poetry and magic, and the relationship of poetry to the ongoing conversation between science and occult practice. In these essays the poetic word is grounded in tradition and history, rooted in thought – a face given form and a spirit animating its limbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sqsrte-large preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em;\"\u003eContents\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col sqs-col-4 span-4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-1064f19fe99db5b5aac9\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Poet as God Seducer\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eP.Sufenas Virius Lupus\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBlack Venus \u0026amp; Wise Hermes\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePhil Legard\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eOn Cut-Up\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlexander Cummins\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Spell to Awaken England\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeter Grey\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eMagical Verse in Ritual Theatre\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrryelle Defenestrate-Bascule\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBurying the Poet\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eErynn Rowan Laurie\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eOn Pessoa\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJosé Leitão\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eHouses of Death\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJimmy T.
