The Journey of the Mage - Board Game PDF Print E-mail
Written by BaroqueEvilEye   
Wednesday, 20 December 2006

Typically consisting of a 13” x 17” x 19” triangular playing board with one set of 11 pieces and an opposing set of 37 pieces. Material for the pieces and the board vary depending on the age of the game and the culture, which produced it. Wood, bone, stone, ivory, precious metals are all possibilities. Rumours of playing pieces created from mummified human flesh, bones and organs are more likely (but not necessarily) to be a reflection of the game’s scandalous reputation than actual fact.

The playing area is formed of a chaotic and haphazard pattern of geometric and non- geometric shapes. The shapes are delineated in a mad conglomeration of colours and materials with no regard for logic or symmetry.

There in a hidden city built upon an ancient temple complex in the jungles of Guatemala, he served for some 30 years as a scribe among the Itzá priests.

These drawings, plans and documents by Hitler's architect do not readily yield their darker secrets. At first glance, and to the uninitiated they appear to be only a set of megalomanic plans for the restructuring of Berlin.

Yellow Mandala PDF Print E-mail
Written by the tragic clown   
Monday, 18 December 2006

Inspired by a journey to to the east in 1925, the British artist Henry Baines began experimenting with the art of sand painting upon his return to London. His mandalas were greatly admired in art circles and he got around the problem of their impermanency by preserving them with photography. Many of these photographs he gave to friends or traded, and it was around this time that he came to possess a copy of The King in Yellow. The book inspired his sand art in a new direction, away from blatant Eastern influences towards a more surreal style. Many in-the-know note the increasing presence of the Yellow Sign, albeit stylised, in his later works.

The earliest precursors of the tome, also known as the "Book of Earthly Numbers", "Name of the Myriad Unnameable Things", "Secret Book of Numbers", "Index of Numerological Computation", "Numerical Cyclopædia of the Cosmos", or, most recently, the "Compact Universal Algorhithmic Index". In the most recent, "false" English edition, it explains the history of the text, but only vaguely.
