Semesilam: The Eternal Sun by José Gabriel Alegría Sabogal (Collector's Edition) – Gnostic Art, Sacred Anatomy & Solar Mysticism

Gnostic Art, Sacred Anatomy, Occult Art Book

Semesilam: The Eternal Sun is a definitive anthology of the visionary artwork of José Gabriel Alegría Sabogal, bringing together over a decade of his exploration into symbolism, sacred anatomy, death, transformation and the hidden languages of the unconscious.

Gathering material created between 2012 and 2017, this exceptional volume includes the long out-of-print works A Handbook of Sacred Anatomy and A Second Nature, alongside previously unpublished pieces and an extended photographic record of Sabogal’s studies of human skulls and bones.

At the centre of Semesilam is the mystery of the Sun: an enduring symbol of illumination, regeneration and eternal existence. Drawing inspiration from Gnostic symbolism, angelic imagery, Jungian psychology and esoteric interpretations of human remains, Sabogal creates a visual language where life, death and transformation exist in constant dialogue.

A Handbook of Sacred Anatomy presents a mystical exploration of the human form and remains, functioning as a modern Mutus Liber of symbolic imagery. A Second Nature expands upon themes of metamorphosis, imagination, symbolism and the relationship between the visible and invisible worlds.

Featuring a new preface by Frater Acher and an epilogue by Gabriel McCaughry, this beautifully designed edition showcases Sabogal’s artistic legacy in a carefully crafted presentation by artist and typographer Joseph Uccello.

An extraordinary addition for collectors of Gnostic Art, esoteric illustration, sacred symbolism and contemporary occult literature.
