Description
MUTABOR: A Journey into the Goetic Flesh is a transformative exploration of the human body as the cornerstone of goêtic magic. In less than 130 pages, Frater Acher takes us on a journey through ancient and modern history, examining the mutable tension between beauty and deformation, the self and the other. This is not just an academic analysis; it’s a call to embrace the goêtic flesh—to see the human body as a bridge to realms beyond the human.
MUTABOR challenges us to rethink how we engage with our bodies in magical practice. With a blend of anthropology, history, and practical guidance, the book offers insights from ancient Greece to the Scythians, modern Traditionalism, and renowned figures like Conan the Barbarian and H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu. Frater Acher invites us to explore the intersection of Western body aesthetics and authentic animism in the 21st century.
The title, inspired by the Latin word mutabor (“I will transform”), reclaims transformation as a magical gift. From Wilhelm Hauff’s cautionary tales to today’s practice, MUTABOR: A Journey into the Goetic Flesh is a manifesto for rediscovering the power of our atavistic bodies.
