Of Leonor Fini, Jean Genet writes: “Would I be so impassioned by a work if I had not discovered in it, and in it’s very form, not that toward which I am headed - and which will belong to me alone - but the same desperate elements scattered across funeral splendors?” From Tears of Eros by Georges Bataille

16th century magical objects belonging to English polymath and alchemist John Dee: His black “spirit mirror,” a crystal ball, wax discs engraved with the Sigillum Dei Aemeth, and a gold disc engraved with medium Edward Kelly’s vision of the cosmos.

John Dee is perhaps best remembered for his obsidian mirror, but the mirror is actually Aztec. Mirrors have been associated with portals to other realms and used for divination and scrying for thousands of years all across various Mesoamerican cultures, but obsidian became the stone of choice during the Late Postclassic period (c.1200–1521) in Central Mexico. They were highly prized by ultra-wealthy curiosity collectors in Europe, which is how one found its way into the hands of John Dee.

These objects are on view at the British Museum.
