Reliquiae Volume 9 No 1 features excerpts from three forthcoming Xylem Books monographs: Jennifer Spector’s vivid evocations of Panamanian landscapes (Hithe), Kim Dorman’s haiku-like despatches from India’s Malabar Coast (Kerala Journal), and Paul Prudence’s exploration of the lithic imaginary (Figured Stones). We’re also delighted to announce a first-time English translation of Gustav Meyrink’s seminal occult text ‘Fakir Paths’ (1907), featuring a biographical foreword by translator, magical scholar and practitioner, Frater Acher. Alongside this contribution, Frater Acher has also written a short, enlightening commentary on ritual praxis, ‘The Straight Line is a Trap’.
