The little golden Book of Logos: Dispelling the Myths has a charming new book box made using Nancy Drew Mystery Stories 1953 #31 The Ringmaster's Secret by Carolyn Keene. Synchronicity is both books required a little page trimming making one envelope the other.
The Book of Logos: Dispelling the Myths is an alchemical treatise that has three forms: a book of imagery, a set of divination cards and the Text (see the three photographs above). The storyline of this book is a thread of images that resemble the same threaded clue Theseus used unwinding and winding his way traversing the Labyrinth.
Understanding pig Latin transforms the word "beast" to be deciphered as East Bay, the Minotaur's lair is akin to this book's birthplace. The East Bay near San Francisco is casually called the home of the many beasts like: Bears, Raiders, and Grape Apes. The word "beastly" is spoken as a noun, a verb and a adverb. Beastly is amplified considering the expression "hella" is used expressing emotion and place like, "I hella Oakland!"
This Logos is a collection of the deepest and inner most thoughts of Carolyn E. Moore; she is a black woman/mother/artist observing collective information and the contradictions that cause misinterpretations. Logos is eighty images. Originally, these drawings measured three by three inches. The book of imagery and the cards both mimic the original size. The Text form is the only version available, currently.
The Text is a palm sized gold bound paperback containing 168 tanned or parchment pages that have full color reproductions. The two by two inches images are smaller to counterweight the thought provoking text. Logos Text most visible feature is that the read begins at the ending and returns to the beginning. Logos revisits many old ideas: Sri Yantra, insect forms also in sect forms, 6 Directions 5 Planets 4 Stars, Thirteen Months, 5 Chinese Elements: 7 Shinto, 26 Alphabeta Metaphors, 13 Thoughts, 7 Alchemical Operations and 5 Pyramidal Points. The photographs composing the right column are extracted examples reflecting these ideas.
The Text can be purchased online at Moe's Books 2476 Telegraph Avenue Berekeley, CA 94704 (510) 849-2133
