Hans LeviStreet JesusSan Francisco: Hans Levi &amp; The Scrimshaw Press, 1972. Offset. Black cloth with photographically illustrated sheets laid down on boards. [64] pp. 12 1/8 x 9 ¼ in. 60 black-and-white photographic illustrations. A very nice copy with minor foxing to first and last leaves.First, limited edition, number 1 of only ten copies bound in cloth. Signed and inscribed “To Jack (Welpott), my mentor, Hans.” Photobook documenting the “Jesus freaks” of early 1970s Berkeley, California.Levi writes, "I have a deep fascination with the participants, their fastidious pronouncements, and the events which they bring about, particularly the events of confrontation. Tempers erupt as the "reborn Christian" (many who are professed ex-drug addicts, ex-radicals, or ex-flower children) tell the gathered that eternal doom is their fate unless they repent. Often attempts are made to drown out their words with music or staccato chants by the ever present heckler. But these new Christians endure and persist. Scholars tend to dismiss their search for purity and certainty within fundamentalist religion as an unwillingness or inability to come to grips with real social problems. I do not choose to be judge of their motivation or sincerity. I have come to know many of the people in these pictures they want to know why I photograph and I want to know why they are 'Jesus Freaks.' I let the images speak for themselves about my concern for all the communicants in this late twentieth century circus."Exceedingly rare in cloth.Condition as described in catalogue note.

Witchcraft and the Gay CountercultureBoston: FAG RAG Books, 1978. First edition. Offset. In wraps. 180pp. 9 x 6 in. A reading copy, with underlining and highlighting throughout text, light foxing on the fore-edge.First edition of Witchcraft and the Gay Counterculture, the radical faerie classic, published in 1978 by Fag Rag Press.The text articulates a hidden mythic link between homosexuality and paganism in an elegy for the world of sex and magic vanquished by Christian civilization. From Joan of Arc to the Cathars and the underground worshippers of Diana, the author shows how every upwelling of gender transgression and sexual freedom was targeted by the authorities for total and often violent repression or appropriation. The concluding manifesto calls for pagan reconnection with the living world, the creation of armed anarchist cells, and the destruction of industrial civilization.The first edition is scarce in any condition.Condition as described in catalogue note.
