This represents the audio material presented on occasion of the Autumn Equinox in 2013, thus all imagery associated with this material concerns Sol falling in Libra, the relationship between Saturn and Venus, and the foreshadowing of darker days and longer nights. 

The live occurrence was not recorded. This is a live rehearsal, flawed as always. 

Note that many songs in this body of work are also part of the self-released album SATURNALIAS, which may be heard in full:

Dusk to Dust

"The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved." - Song of Solomon 7:13

Dedicated to the lives and legacies of dear ones, whose bodies have  returned to Dust, and whose souls have ascended beyond the planetary spheres.

Swallow by the Light of the Moon

This movement represents the only track shared in common on both recent releases; SATURNALIAS - edition Libra (mini CD), and SATURNALIAS (full length CD). This version is a bit rough, and differs from the versions - each differing from each other - featured on the CDs. 


Persephone

Crystal Skulls

Poison Ring is an experience rooted in sound, but also works to stimulate other aspects of the human sensorium. The sound produced and presented live is exclusively comprised of tapes (cassettes and stereo-8s) and vinyl records, all hand-refined into loops.Iconography and choreography, alongside the use of specific aromatics, serve to potentiate the overall effect of live Occurrences. The magical worldview which informs and inspires the individual behind this endeavor is primarily of an Hermetic nature, specifically concerning traditional planetary attributes and correspondences.
