#141 - Astraleyes, Publisher of Bibliomancers and Artistic Abracadabbler
Astraleyes is a Los Angeles-based occult collage artist, archivist, and curator. He is also the publisher of Bibliomancers, an independent press dedicated to exploring vintage print design and its ties to cultural movements, with a special focus on the esoteric. Through Bibliomancers, Astraleyes seeks to uncover the connections between historical design, mysticism, and the hidden stories within visual culture. The Bibliomancers series has 5 books and counting, from SPELL BOUND, which is a book of images of vintage witchcraft paperback covers, to OCCULT EYE which focuses on imagery and ephemera from the new religious movement. Each tome is a celebration of pop occulture and an archive of the ways in which occult iconography has shapeshifted over time.
Astraleyes also has a massive following on Instagram under his @astraleyez handle where he posts his favorite vintage occult imagery, and you can follow his Bibliomancers series via his @bibliomancers handle.
On this episode, Astraleyes discusses his evolution as a psychedelic icon maker, his obsession with vintage occult paperback design, and the power of magical community-building.
Pam also talks about new year intentions and synchronicities, and responds to a listener’s comment about integrating witchcraft and mental health.
