#asterion mage

I'm sure we've all seen this 1,000 times, but this is a reminder that this seal is by the occult artist Asterion Mage. It's getting increasingly difficult to find him or his work online, but he has helped me in the past, and I feel somewhat protective of him and his work.

In the [original post] where he shared this back in February of 2014, he explicitly states:

Please do not copy, repost, share, tweet, tween, twerk or blog without my permission or without linking it to this blog. Please don t make T-shirts, mugs or epoxy keychains out of it.

Nonetheless, I have seen this countless times on Etsy, eBay, and other shopping outlets over the years without even giving credit - sometimes going so far as to say this is an ancient seal from rare grimoires. 🙄😠

It can be easy for an artist's credit to get lost over time, so I just wanted to put this back out there: Asterion created this seal and specifically stated not to use it with cheap, mass-marketed merchandise. Please do your best to respect that by not buying items for which he's clearly not getting credit or compensation.

Thanks 🙏
