We have searched for many years having traveled from the heights of close destruction to the oceans of disarray...

and we have come no further...
So let us...

Cast, speech with madness
Twist into crooked rhythms and
Reflect outwards the whirlwind of mind.

Demoness Magick

a 1st edition was published in 2000

A brief description of Demoness Magick :

An intuitive guide into a world of spirit possession, spontaneous choice, chaotic liberation and rebellion.

Surrealist texts, poetry, ritual and stories weave together to create a unique portal into another world of unlimited imagination, freedom, and obsession.

Written during the periods of 1998 to 2000 using spirit possession and trance states this book retains a certain organic flow that links all words and images together into one gateway to be entered through.

The secret keys are present, you only need the courage to enter.

This book is dedicated to all those who would traverse the unknown territories of the mind without hesitation and with a preternatural instinct.

Scott Ferry was born and raised in Los Angeles, growing up in the colorful chaos of the 80’s in the California subculture. He currently lives and works in Montreal, Canada.

His writing stems from over 18 years of experimental Chaos Magick, Buddhist Tantra practice, and Runic sorcery and divination. Drawing on techniques of automatic writing and surreal cut-up he developed a powerful way to describe the primal elements and how to access them simply, effectively, and humorously through the medium of a multifarious feminine entity.

Scott also works as a visual artist. His early drawings being in black and white pen using a stipple dot technique. His artwork is inspired by spirits, ghosts, possession, hypnotic and trance states, other worlds, childhood, magick, subtle disturbances, and nightmarish reflections.

SCOTT FERRY - SWEET SOFT HAUNTING

Falling through tunnels of sensitive sweet memories, cute youth and soft touches.. 1979 boy white skin body and blondish hair.. i see each spirit in turn swirling around my body and yours.. purple then green.. they tell me of your wonders and your hells..

The liminal space where life and death mix and a hallucinatory other world opens up has always fascinated me. This in-between space and the gateways that lead to and from it have always permeated my work in many ways. The shade of what happens after death, the separation and the loss of things held dear, the entities that live between this world and that and the possibility of our metamorphosing into a more flexible nature. Much like a flower or child that dies quickly I have grown to understand how fragile life can be and how that can make us cling to the possible idea that there maybe an eternal life. But eternity is only interesting if it includes change. And why not, as an artist, learn to create my own reality which equates with my own changing belief structure and opens up many possibilities both to myself and to the viewer.

Malinalxochitl (current drawings)

Beltane/Samhain .. sex and death.. death and sex

The tangible and visible dance of life celebrated at Beltane clearly grows from the dissolution, the dance of death and transformation at Samhain.



It is Beltane in the Southern Hemisphere, the season of sweet desire for being. That desire which holds all form together and allows the dance of life. In the Northern Hemisphere it is Samhain, the season of celebrating the falling apart of all form, the end of desire which allows death and transformation.

At these cross-quarters "the veil is thin that divides the worlds."

Recent scientific studies indicate that organic life may be born from inorganic matter. Particles of plasma, normally considered inorganic, can undergo self-organization resulting in helical structures that become charged and are attracted to each other, thus taking on qualities of living matter — they are "autonomous, they reproduce and they evolve".

August 8 and 9, 2009 and then on the following weekend August 16 & 17, I took it upon myself to paint some characters from my artwork on the outside wall of Usine 106U Gallery. These are some photos of the result.

Mae Nak

In my research on Thai spirits and possession i ran across this article on the Mae Naak which was quite interesting.

-s

There is no Thai who does not know Mae Naak. While mentioning her can make young children run and scream hysterically in the "Nang Naak game", mothers invoke Mae Naak's name to quiet their crying infants; otherwise, the ghost might break their necks and eat their heads with chilly sauce. The gothic tale of Mae Naak Phra Khanong has been filmed more than twenty times; moreover, every one of them is a box-office hit. Thai youths grow up watching her ghostly tale on television.

Whether Nang Naak was a real person or just a fabrication is still as mysterious as the myth itself. There is no historical evidence of her existence. However, most Thais tend to believe her story is genuine, or at least some parts are. Popular legend tells that she was born in the Phra Khanong area of Bangkok about a hundred and thirty years ago during the later period of King Rama IV (1851 - 1868) and died of childbirth complications some eighteen years later in the early part of King Rama V's regime (1868 - 1910). Others assume that she lived during the reign of King Rama III (1841 - 1851). Some believers even date her presence back to more than two hundred years ago in mid-eighteen century Ayutthaya.

post-mortem dolls

Post-mortem photography, particularly of children seems to retain a sense of mystery and a doll like atmosphere. There is a sense that the body has become a material to be recreated and dressed much like they would have liked to have seen the child in life. A sort of nostalgic recollection etched into memory.. more real in death then in life. Many comments have been made on the subject.. some related to the fact that these are just dead children.. and that is all.. no sense of putting an atmosphere around it that wasn't there. This is true in a sense.. it is nothing more then that for some people living today (much like an actual haunted house is no more then a house), but back then in the 19th century there was a very big search and quest to see and speak with the dead.. to touch the spirits that seemed to live with us yet separate. Living with the dead was something that was seen by all to be a part of their lives.. and something not to be parted with or thrown aside.. a keep sake... something to hold dear.. There was a sense that the dead bodies retained some sense of soul.. some sort of spirit and atmosphere... a haunted feeling.. a similarity in part to dolls possibly..

- s

(most of these images may have been seen over and over.. but i picked out certain ones to pinpoint the look and feeling of how close the reference is to : a doll, the look of the living compared to the dead, angelic, a sense of a presence within the body, a haunted atmosphere)

(in this one the girl on the left is dead, the right one is alive)

Amityville - the killings of the Defeo family and the haunting of the Lutz family

This is by far the best I have found so far of complete documetaries on the subject.
