With work that engages with sacred landscape and alchemy, psychogeography and natural processes, witchcraft and sigil magick; this exhibition at The College of Psychic Studies is an opportunity to discover three artists working at the leading edge of the growing interest in esoteric art. 

The Order of the Sun and Moon are Kate Southworth, Greg Humphries and Julian Vayne. The work of the Order will sit alongside the College's extensive permanent collection of magical and spiritual art.

The tutelary spirit of the Order is the British painter, occultist, poet and author Ithell Colquhoun. Colquhoun was a member of the British Surrealist Group before being expelled because she refused to renounce her association with occult groups. 

In addition to the exhibition, members of the Order will also be offering opportunities to join them for both creative and ceremonial practice (see below).
