Vinatge Occultist Calendar with Incredible Illustrations by Manuel Orazi
An occultist calendar with illustrations by Manuel Orazi, commemorating magic for the upcoming year of 1896, was printed in a symbolic edition of 777 copies.
Every two-page spread imitates the Christian calendar in terms of names and symbols. In an attempt to chart the year of magic, the document poses as a pagan almanac. Manuel Orazi’s illustrations blend references to tarot, horoscopes, and occult ceremonies with imagery from nouveau art. French food writer Austin de Croze, who was also captivated by esotericism, wrote the text that goes with it.
