Our Mission
Abraxas aims to represent the best of the international esoteric movement in a high quality printed format. As an annual journal, it seeks to offer relevant and thought-provoking features: ranging from essays that are scholarly and engaging, to images and sounds that challenge and inspire. Our print run is limited, and every issue employs lavish colour and exotic papers – providing for the reader a rare sensory sorcery. Indeed, it is our intent that Abraxas should embody that magical, creative nexus which feeds both mind and soul. And in a world fraught with troubles, our approach is refreshingly non-partisan and inclusive… join us!

Devoted to the Dark Room: Lauren Simonutti 1968-2012
It with great sadness that I read today of the death of the Baltimore photographer, Lauren Simonutti. Lauren’s haunting and original photographs, produced without any kind of digital manipulation, were one of the highlights of the second issue of Abraxas. Several weeks after publication Lauren wrote to me expressing her gratitude; not because her images were in print (that gratitude was entirely mine) but because so many Abraxas readers had made contact with her to share their appreciation of her work. Her passing is a great loss.

March 8th-May 5th, 2012
For anyone yet to discover the remarkable images born from the hand of this acclaimed Norwegian painter we can recommend a visit to the Forum Gallery. Dark, otherworldly and utterly spell-binding, Nerdrum paints his vision of a future without technology, returning us to a primeval relationship with the forces of nature. ‘Nightjumper’, a vast canvas where the landscape seems to be sliding into an abyss, is a revelation.
