Nov 2026 · Alex’s artist account
Alex describes why he began the images, the practices behind them and how he directs the work from liturgy to composition.
Zeus · An emerging personal sādhana
Personal practice in development · November 2026 account · Art and inner practice · Design · Biographical account or programme record
Alex’s relationship with Zeus grew out of experiences with storms and lightning, Bagua, and encounters with Greek imagery. The developing sādhana and panel also draw on the four quarters and guardians of Western ceremonial magic. The work gives lightning and order a central place.
