Godbody is a celebration and collection of visualizations culled from the first wave of the New Age movement (19th and 20th Centuries). It is a curated tour of esoteric cosmologies, charts, diagrams, photographic documentation and illustration dedicated to the expression of metaphysics in the modern era. A complexity of expression is displayed, beginning with the rise of Spiritualism and Theosophy and ending in the dawn of the Internet Era.
These visualizations run the gamut of the new age canon. From high minded visionary illumination to occultic and hermetic philosophical mappings to pulp magazine illustrations. Many of these works have been forgotten, glossed over and even parodied as they belong to some of the more eccentric and misunderstood trajectories of the modern era. These are deeply informed, idiosyncratic and earnestly devotional imaginings of creative thinkers committed to guidance of a higher nature from various subcultures and schools of spiritual thought.
