Earthrites.org presents: The Invisible College 2nd edition PDF Magazine.

Featuring the artwork of Robert Venosa, Bryan K ward, Kathleen Preissing and Mike Crowley.

The Art and Times of Robert Venosa - "There can be little doubt that altered states of consciousness have a profound effect on the creative quality and productive output of the artist. The inspirations are certainly individual and dependent on the artists ability to retain, filter and discern what is possible to exteriorize from the phantasmagoria presented by that which altered his consciousness."

The Art of Bryan Ward - "I have recently been wrapping my head around what I think I have been doing with my darker visions, something like painting the beauty of a lamentation, but for me it is including the mourning but without the regret: that sorrow, sadness, suffering and tears should be embraced as a part of a beautiful human experience and not be wholly shunned."

The Art of Kathleen Preissing - "As I have moved along the Life Path of Art I have been influenced by what I call the Molecules of Life. These are the various entheogens, some modern, and some ancient."

The Fractal Art of Mike Crowley - Mikes interest in mathematical art dates from the 1960's when some of his op-art pieces were exhibited in London's west end. He began working with computers in 1969, discovered fractals in the early 1980's and wrote his first computer program to generate the Mandelbrot Set in 1987. Thus began a long and intense love-affair with the graphical consequences of the square root of -1."

Some 90 pages in all are included, this is full of interesting articles, short stories, poetry and art. Including articles on; Beltaine: Connecting With the Heritage, a Tour of the Psychoactive Supermarket, a how to guide (with photos) on making Homemade Hash and Musings on the ingredients of the Kykeon at Eleusis. This is a large pdf file but worth the download wait. Also check out the first edition with featured Visionary artist Martina Hoffman.
