From the secret burrows and bunkers beneath our feet to imaginary hellscapes and surreal reveries, this second opus following on from the best-sellingThe Cosmic Dance (Thames & Hudson, 2022) offers disturbing and fascinating images of the real and imagined depths and subconscious meanderings of the human soul.

An introduction by Stephen Ellcock and texts at the start of each chapter weave a web of connections between the different groups of images. As you read, the major themes emerge: the visuals are illuminated by accessible texts that provide them with a historical and iconographic context. Quotations from literature, philosophy and esoteric rituals complete the corpus of images.

Together, they highlight the interaction between the real and the imaginary, revealing the mutual influence of these two aspects of human existence: how the real can feed our deepest fears and hopes, and in mirror image, how our psyche constantly feeds the imaginary of the unknown and the dark.
