Temple of the Occult York - a photographic record

There are 77 pictures loaded here


7 is regarded by many as a lucky number.  Reflections of 7 are considered by some to signify fortuitous possibilities.  Certain systems of magic identify the number 11 as holding the greatest magical potential.  When you add the lucky number 7 to itself 11 times you have 77.  77 can be seen to hold both luck and magic.  There are 77 pictures here echo to the many thoughts that have been uttered within the mind of man in order to better understand the worlds and all that lies within them.

These pictures were taken at Temple of the Occult in the Norman Rea Gallery at York University. The exhibits are well worth a viewing. The gallery space provides a great showcase for these hard to find item so rarely collected together as an art show.  Robin Spalding has brought an eclectic mix of artworks and magical traditions in this exhibition which has formed a vibrant temple art.  This show opens your mind above your eyes and gives you access to a window on the elements of eternity that have inspired magicians and artists to create beauty in our world.
