My favorites were “Pleasure” and “Formulae” because these contained the sections that deal most with Sigils, which was my main interest coming in. It made me quite happy that this ‘pocket edition’ really does fit in my pockets! It’s a pet peeve of mine when books are sold as ‘pocket’ versions but are actually kinda big… Intrigued, I got this collection of four of his major works: “Anathema of Zos” (1927), “The Book of Pleasure (Self Love)” (1913), “The Focus of Life” (1921), and “Formulae of Zos Vel Thanatos” (also 1921? – I genuinely cannot confirm publication date). Then I began to hear his name associated with Sigils and something called Chaos Magick. I first came across the name of Austin Osman Spare when I was reading “Promethea” by Alan Moore (a graphic novel and fantastic introduction to Magick / Western Occultism).
