“Sip the icy opal; endure till all things change… till you become as gods, knowing both good and evil, and that they are not two but one.”
ABSINTHE: THE GREEN GODDESS
ALEISTER CROWLEY (1918)
One afternoon the wicked Mr. Crowley took a short break from his usual mystical ramblings to pen an obscure essay extolling the virtues of absinthe.

While some may think it a bad idea to mix the two, it worked for us and inspired the fine mash up of lusty art nouveau and occult symbology.
