The Book of Q’Ab-iTzDavid S. Herrerias
The Book of Q’Ab-iTz brings an altogether different feel to Andrew Chumbleys’ Dragon Book of Essex. Written principally in Spanish the book will be comprised of two versions, one in David’s native tongue and one translated into English. Among these most enchanted pages we find the artistic descendant to Austin Osman Spare, for David’s work truly captures and then transcends the spirit of Spare and Chumbley. What we then have with The Book of Q’Ab-iTz is the contemporary expression of the ophidian current as captured by a dedicated practitioner. As a consequence, this work not only brings further insight to manifesting the crooked path, but stands alone as a superlative manifestation of the Dragons’ Column for which the Dragon Book of Essex was first designed.
David S. Herrerias is a self-taught artist involved in occultism and alchemy born in Mexico city in 1982. Part of his work approach is to enter consciously in communication with higher spheres through an inner alchemical process in order manifest them in some of his works, yet, he is still working in this process. David´s work has been exhibited in Murmurs from Beyond the Grave in L.A. in 2014. Some of his paintings and drawings have also been featured in music releases as album covers and illustrations, and two of his automatic drawings were released together with the Swedish debut poem ‘Pakt’ by Avgrund publishers. He also done work that has been featured in Clavis and has worked with Three Hands Press in recent years. He moved to Sweden in the winter of 2006 and he currently lives and studies in Gothenburg.
