The second issue of Velvet Corvus, The Gods Within, explores the traces of the sacred and the divine in the contemporary world through a range of esoteric traditions, occult practices, and intellectual approaches.

This issue brings together topics such as the place of the occult revival in the present day, the role of astrology in talismanic practice, Thelema and the idea of the “invisible,” the poetics of Shah Hatayi, Gnosticism, the creation of sacred space, the philosophical foundations of theurgic practice, contemporary Hellenism, and the relationship between humanity and the Gods. The essays examine the relationship between inherited traditions and contemporary occult practice, while approaching ritual, symbolism, belief, and personal experience from a variety of perspectives.
