A collection of rare pagan poetry and purple prose from the heart of the 1920s counterculture.
Victor Neuburg is most famous for two things: discovering Dylan Thomas, and being the man that Aleister Crowley once turned into a camel.
Obsolete Spells
offers another side of Neuburg, through his own poems and the strange books of Vine Press, the hand-operated imprint he ran from his West Sussex cottage between 1920 and 1930.
Neuburg's youth involved terrifying-yet-farcical years as Crowley's lover, victim, and magickal sidekick. His later period, as editor of the influential "Poet's Corner" column for the
Sunday Referee
, found him a key figure in London's literary scene.
But in between, Neuburg acted as a conduit for bohemian writers, arts luminaries, and the sexually adventurous: Peter Warlock set his words to music, singer Marian Anderson lived in his spare room, and he was a fixture at utopian community, the Sanctuary. Through it all, he turned the handle on the Vine Press: books of nature writing and anonymous song; poems and artwork worthy of
The Wicker Man
, side-by-side with a book on cricket.
offers a selection of Neuburg's work and others from Vine Press booksover-the-top hymns to the Old Gods, tales from a utopian landscape, and more, most of which has been out of print for a century.
