Prelude to a Hymn to Hekate by Brian Cotnoir Comics when Vaarns red sun beats

when Vaarns red sun beats upon his head he dreams of cool avenues shaded by demure and welcoming lemon trees

[ The tsunami and nuclear meltdowns of 2011 seem like yesterday

and saddle-stitched with metallic green staples

accompanying the Three Books like an ugly rumour

Will we survive to see a world at all

Prelude to a Hymn to Hekate by Brian Cotnoir Comics when Vaarns red sun beatsBased on key phrases from the Chaldean Oracles, a journey after death guided by Hekate, goddess of the crossroads is imagined. This zine is part one of a two part zine. It is the Prelude to a forth coming zine on alchemy and music Hymn to Hekate which will explore music as a means of ascent. A Flexi disk recording of compositions is planned for the second zine.
