We are proud to announce the forthcoming release of The Book of Archai, a compilation that contains over 100 drawings by the late J. Edward Cornelius–illustrations rarely seen since he drew them in the 1970’s.

The Greek term archai literally means “Lords”—the beast-faced rulers that collectively constitute the Hermaphroditic Prince of Darkness who are the Many of the One. In his artwork, Cornelius reveals how these Lords work through the God Horus and how men may manifest that God in their flesh via the Secret Seed that is the doorway to paradise—Heaven on Earth.
In the first section of the book, Christopher Reed Johnson (the present Inner Head of the Grady McMurtry A.A.) provides a context and foundation for understanding Cornelius’ illustrations. There Johnson examines, summarizes, and excerpts from a series of contemporaneous journals by J. Edward Cornelius entitled “Ahaon of PhlaaaSh”.
In the book’s second part, Cornelius’ images vividly juxtapose Johnson’s text, transcending the theoretical. In doing so, they lend Johnson’s words and ideas an unspeakable, invaluable aesthetic.
