Book of Bones: Illustrative Vodoun Art of Dante Miel

by Dante Miel

Overview

There is no beginning with the magical in the past before Man masters the mythical; this only leads to a labyrinth, or to being lost in a mist of mystification, as soon as we are out of the bog of perverted superstitions. There were students who whispered in the secret arts to the ancient Loa, their intelligences became illuminated by experience and training to coalesce with a prudence nothing could intoxicate, and incorruptible wills in magic, taking seven or ten years to acquire. They were not degenerates, or meek scholar-practitioners, nor mere social-network mages of to-day! The ancient shamans knew that intuition and excessive superstitions could not take the place of spiritual experience, trial and error, and were careful to communicate all the secret sciences they inherited to those whom they deemed worthy of limitless truth. All sculptures and paintings are hand crafted. Enter the realm of the Black Widow and Green Butterfly with Dante Miel as your guide…….

About the Author

DANTE MIEL is an artist, writer, philosopher, trickster, and experiential shaman. He has been initiated into several systems of Voudou as well as indigenous shamanic and folk magic. He has devoted his life to internal illumination, and to being a catalyst for others to look inside themselves for their own spiritual awakening, in whatever form that may manifest within them. Dante’s Art is expressed through symbolism; the language of the subconscious mind and speaks directly to the human intellect in a form that is not bound by linguistics, therefore making it universal. Art is the language of the soul.
