The Magical Writings of Ithell Colquhoun, an online talk with Dr. Amy Hale
Ithell Colquhoun’s reputation as a provocative and accomplished visual artist and writer is becoming well established. However, less is known about her work as an occult and esoteric essayist, primarily because many of her essays were published in occult ephemera, and limited run local and specialist magazines. This illustrated talk will be an introduction to the wide range of topics that Colquhoun masterfully tackled, ranging from primers on the Kabbalah to Celtic spirituality, meditation, mysticism, and magical color theory.
Jessica Hundley Series Editor for TASCHEN Publications multivolume collection, The Library of Esoterica, a book series exploring the visual history of Tarot, Astrology and other esoteric traditions will introduce the event.

Queer Cornwall: Marlow Moss, Gluck and Ithell Colquhoun in Lamorna | Tate
Lamorna is a small village on the Cornish coast, in the far southwest of Britain. The expansive skies and landscapes of the area have long been a draw for artists, most famously painters associated with the Newlyn school such as Laura Knight, Alfred Munnings and Lamorna Birch.
Less well known are the ground-breaking queer artists who set down roots in the village: Marlow Moss, Gluck and Ithell Colquhoun.
In this film, we tell their story, and the story of the Cornwall where they lived and loved: a place of international modernism, Celtic spiritualism and the queer avant-garde.
A Note on Language:
Telling the stories of these three artists asks us to consider our concepts of gender and sexuality, and how we perceive and represent queer figures of the past.
The word ‘queer’ itself ...

Ithell Colquhoun's alchemical islands by Richard Shillitoe
Dr Richard Shillitoe celebrates the republication of “Goose of Hermogenes”, the classic novel of surrealist and esoteric fiction by Ithell Colquhoun.
Written during Colquhoun’s membership of the London Surrealist Group in the late 1930s – and her expulsion from it for refusing to curtail her occult interests – the novel incorporates dream imagery and imaginative leaps with practical, down-to-earth advice addressed to young ghosts.
Alchemical transformation provides the structure of the book as well as much of its imagery. The new edition includes previously unpublished material and illustrations by the author.
Dr Richard Shillitoe also maintains the www.ithellcolquhoun.co.uk website, which has a detailed catalogue of her art works, a bibliography of her writings, a full exhibition hi...

Ithell Colquhoun
Ithell Colquhoun (1906 — 1988) was a British Surrealist painter and author. She was born in Shillong, Assam, India. From the 1930s to her death, her work was exhibited widely in Britain and Germany. She studied at the Slade School of Art in London, and later travelled to France to study the Surrealist masters, especially Salvador Dalí.
Best known for her paintings, Colquhoun invented new Surrealist techniques, including graphomania, stillomania, and parsemage. She was also an author, playwright, and poet.
Throughout her life she was deeply interested in the occult, especially the Kabbalistic tree of life. Her early membership to the Golden Dawn was rejected, but she later became a member of the Typhonian O.T.O, another prominent occult order.
Bibliography includes The Sword of Wisdom, N...

Lamorna is a small village on the Cornish coast, in the far southwest of Britain. The expansive skies and landscapes of the area have long been a draw for artists, most famously painters associated with the Newlyn school such as Laura Knight, Alfred Munnings and Lamorna Birch.
Less well known are the ground-breaking queer artists who set down roots in the village: Marlow Moss, Gluck and Ithell Colquhoun.
In this film, we tell their story, and the story of the Cornwall where they lived and loved: a place of international modernism, Celtic spiritualism and the queer avant-garde.
A Note on Language:
Telling the stories of these three artists asks us to consider our concepts of gender and sexuality, and how we perceive and represent queer figures of the past.
The word ‘queer’ itself has a mixed history, used both as a term of abuse and as a term by LGBTQIA+ people to refer to themselves. In recent times, it has become reclaimed as a fluid term for people of different sexualities and gender identities. In this film, we use ‘queer’ in this broad and inclusive sense, rather than making specific assumptions about how these artists would choose to identify.
Similarly, while Moss and Gluck may have been happy being described with the binary pronouns of their time, we can never be sure. It’s impossible to know whether these artists would today identify as genderqueer, non-binary, trans, butch and/or lesbian. In this film, we use neutral pronouns when referring to them. This is an option that honours all possibilities, and draws no conclusions.

Bibliography includes The Sword of Wisdom, New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1975, which was the first book-length biography of Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers. It remains the longest single work specifically focused on Mathers. She also published an occult novel, The Goose of Hermogenes. A recent book of her Collected Magical Writings has been published posthumously.
