I'm thrilled to announce that issue 3 of Abraxas International Journal of Esoteric Studies is now available. It's been an honor being an Assistant Editor over there, and this is the first one that I got to work on a bit, via my interview with the sublime occult artist, Jesse Bransford. The entire issue, of course, is amazing:
Abraxas No.3 offers 176 large format pages of essays, poetry, interviews and art. Printed using state-of-the-art offset lithography to our usual high standard, Abraxas 3 is richly illustrated and employs a variety of papers.
Contributions for this third issue include:

You can order it here, and I highly recommend you do so. (I also noticed that Issue 2 is being sold at a 50% discount here. The material isn't dated in any way, it is giant and glorious and comes with an occult music CD, so snatch that one up, too, if you haven't already.)
On a related note, you can read about how I became involved with Abraxas, as well as my feelings about art, magick, witches, and Alan Moore via this interview with me that disinfo.com just posted yesterday.
