Offline Times

Teufelskunst is taking a break from September 9th until September 26th.

Mark this date: on the 27th of October Teufelskunst will participate for the 3rd time in the Samhain Celebration in Gotha. The weeks ahead are needed for preparations.

The coming weeks will be very busy and due this delivery times may be longer than usual. I may also take longer to respond to messages and emails.

I am not able to take on new commissions right now, even though they keep pouring in. When possible, I will recommend other crafters and artists.

Thanks for your patience!

Sincerely,

W.

Teufelskunst is moving to a new location and the web shop will be closed, starting:

All items listed in the shop will be marked “out of stock” until I am able to resume business later in April. Once I am settled, I will pick up work again and continue crafting new occult art for you.

Winter Break and News

I will be spending time with loved ones and continue on artwork, finishing commissions and preparing the incense blend for the upcoming Raunächte. So long, please have a look in the shop and consider purchasing one of three new paper sigil talismans, which were completed for the winter solstice:

Mullein, Winter Solstice Special ’17, 3 available

The “Mullein” illustration is a newer work in the “Sigilla Magica” series. It was available for the first time during the Samhain Celebration 2017, in Gotha. The illustration shows an anthropomorphic vision of the lovely mullein (Verbascum spp.), which is also known as hag’s taper, aaron’s rod and Königskerze. In the sigil I summarize folklore and personal experiences related to this powerful magical plant. It contains links to the Venusian, Saturnian and martial aspects of the plant, as well as to the various names, by which it is known.

You can now purchase an original ensouled paper talisman with the motif. It is drawn with black India ink on coffee stained paper, which has been infused with extracts of mullein, wormwood and honey. Each paper sigil is signed and dated on the back . The entire talisman measures ca. 9,9 x 21 cm.

You receive one of the original works shown here. There are 3 available as part of my Winter Solstice special and each comes with an incense sample for the Raunächte.

Please note, that each paper talisman is unique and whilst the motif is the same, can have slight variations and differences in texture. The yellow color comes from the mullein’s own flowers.

Winter Solstice Edition 2017 – comes including incense sample – 3 available. For ordering please go here.

New Web Shop and Changes

The astral procession marches on…

As Teufelskunst keeps growing it has long been my wish to offer my customers an easier way to order my hand-made artworks and incense blends. This wish is finally becoming reality. The new webshop is on the way!

The next weeks will hence mark a transition period, as we are working on setting everything up. On May 20th/21st, the following changes will take place:

  1. This blog will continue to exist and can be reached via the old WordPress URL teufelskunst.wordpress.com
  2. The official site URL www.teufelskunst.com will from then on point to the new website. For the time being there will be shown a temporary “New website coming soon…” notice.
  3. There may be trouble with e-mails – this will be temporary and should be solved within a day. I can still be reached via etsy, instagram and facebook inboxes.
  4. We will be working on the webshop and adding the content as fast as possible. But please bear with me, as my time is split up between crafting, shipping orders and working on the new webpage.

So long, I hope to soon be able to offer you all a better service.

Update: As of June 2017, I no longer sell on Etsy.

Sincerely Yours,

W.

Forward Look 2016: Changes, Ideas, New Projects

a fever dream continued
the winter cold clears the mind but not the soul
the body continues aching
the soul continues longing
the fire keeps burning

Looking back at 2015, an important step was the birth of Planta Magica/ Pflanzenkunst. This project shall receive more attention in 2016. As I continue updating and publishing articles about plants at the new site, I may also start offering downloadable e-books and printed booklets. This can happen in the form of a journal series, discussing in depth certain plants under different aspects. The texts would be accompanied by my photography and plant inspired art. As an example can serve my article about the Mandrake, which was published in Anathema’s Pillars Journal.

Pertaining to Teufelskunst, which is now heading into its 5th year since the site went online, there shall occur some changes. As the work with the green is now receiving space within its own frame, Teufelskunst will focus more on products and creations tied to certain esoteric lines of practice, these being foremost the qliphoth. On top of my list for are two spiritual maps to be offered as prints, as well as the continuation of my qliphothic incense line. Expect incense for Adramelech/Samael very soon.

Along with this, the Teufelskunst website shall undergo a restructuring and the garden will move here. My goal is to cut it down to three site sections: the first is the “Supply”, an overview of available products and tools. I yet have to find a way of implementing a shopping cart. Until that happens we continue with good old ordering via e-mail.

A second site section, the “Trumpet”, is dedicated to interviews with other artists and the exploration of different esoteric concepts.

Secondhand Literature, the third site section, will continue, despite animosity from different directions. I feel it is now more important than ever to appreciate but also to grow a critical view at the esoteric book genre and recent book releases. Besides, lets face it: some want to part with their esoteric library, others want to get their hands on sold out titles. Herein lies potential for magical experience to be passed on along with the books and, being handed on, their prestige grows as well.

What more? At the end of 2015 I found myself in a loop of crafting and delivering. This wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. However, I did not find any time at all to work on drawings or possible collaborations. I also did not find time to work on larger commissions, such as statues. The road to take will be to focus on fewer products, higher quality and commissions that challenge me on an artistic level. In 2015 part of my life time got sucked up in bureaucracy, e.g. pertaining to customs and import regulations. I learned some new lessons there, however I doubt whether these were conducive experiences. Some things I wouldn’t do a second time.

In 2016 I hence hope to get to projects talked about in 2015. One would include doing artwork for a band. The other is a photography collaboration with Mr. James Patrick of Death Sex Electronics.

But before all of this enrolls, I look forward to a relaxed and creative first week of January, where I see myself preparing a new print edition.

Stay tuned for more and thanks for the great feedback on my work.

The New Year

… started with an eclipse, one of four that 2011 will see, and I picked up practice again, working esoterically for the largest part.

Some of the things currently manifesting are a row of ensouled paintings connected to plant spirits. At the same time I am researching and composing articles on all the herbs I am dealing with. That means in practice also, that each herb and seed bag offered here comes from plants that I have grown by myself or that have been gathered in small amounts from surrounding nature. To test myself I have begun selling seeds privately on eBay and all the positive feedback on the quality of seeds and growing success encourages me to pursue my goal of expanding the Teufelkunst garden…

Artistically I am heading in a new phase as well, specializing in the manufacture of figurines and fetishes as well as paintings. But good things take time and all that is offered here is 100% unique. This means in other words no piece of art you find on this site is to be found anywhere else. And if you decide to purchase from me you get exactly what you see and nothing else. The price for this is patience and sometimes long waiting times. E.g. a custom skull or statue might take up to 6 months to be completed. So it is up to you, the customer, to know what you want and whether you are able to wait that long. On the other hand sometimes a unique piece of art might be just worth the wait. I am of course also striving to develop in my craft and methodology in hopes to become faster.

Lastly I may sporadically feature trusted esoteric artists and Left-Hand Path practitioners. I am also always interested in networking with experienced craftsmen and sellers.

Contact me at info@teufelskunst.com

One more thing, you can reach me now also on tumblr and facebook

Happy New Year!
