Whereas PILLARS issue #1: 'Psychopompos' was a piercing chaotic eruption; exploring the Mystery Traditions & Arte from all sides and approach, and number 2 continued in that direction, but is more concise, dense in context and heavy with written material, the third entry of the series, 'The Ebon Kteis,' is a journey back into Darkness; more sombre in tone than its siblings and aiming to be more of a visual feast to inspire Minds & spark the Sacred Flame Within.

Description
'The Ebon Kteis' delves into the subtle beauty that lies at the threshold of Eros & Thanatos, and what has oft' been referred to as "la petite mort": the strange connection that exists between orgasm, the loss of the senses and the ultimate release of Death; both symbolism having a strong link with one another.
The subject is exploited from various angles; witchcraft, tantrism, the necromantic arts, romanticism, et cetera (of course always leaving much interpretative power to the contributors). Also pertinent to this Issue is an emphasis on the many ways to go about the Sabbatical Rites of Soul-Flight and Congress, whether with fellow brethren or by means of Self-Initiation.
