Nearly all the material in the new ABRAXAS will be published for the first time with contributions by writers and artists from across the globe, including Australia, the United States, Mexico, Italy and the United Kingdom.

These esoteric, magickal essays are from diverse sources within the esoteric community. Many of these pieces were written especially for the Journal.

Artists are also well represented with both established masters and emerging talents: a feast for the eyes & soul. Our poets include Allyson Shaw, Zachary Cox and, from beyond the veil, Aleister Crowley, whose evocative verse 'Babalon' finally finds itself in print more than sixty years after it was written.

Produced in a large quarto format, with 128 pages printed on high quality paper and richly illustrated in color and monochrome, we hope ABRAXAS will offer you a new mirror through which may be glimpsed the zeitgeist of the global occult community today.
