The Book of Magic The Moon and the Serpent represents an extraordinary milestone, created by Alan and Steve and brilliantly brought to life by five unforgettable artists. It has been a privilege to watch those magical minds spend years building this grimoire, and I’m proud to join Knockabout to finally share it with the world.”
