Devotional image of Hekate in watercolor and various inks

Hello! I’m Jeffrey, a multidisciplinary artist operating out of Kansas City, MO, US. My work explores themes of myth, ritual, and identity.

I make high-quality magical and art jewelry for discerning witches, magicians, and occultists. I specialize in devotional jewelry and Picatrix images. I also do custom design and fabrication.

I write about my magical experiences and share my occult art under the name Satyr Magos.

I write fiction under the name JS Groves. You can read my current novel, The Prince’s Fighters, at its web page. You can read a lot more of my writing at my patreon.

My backlist is mostly available at amazon. I’m working on getting everything up at bookshop.org and elsewhere. In the meantime, though:

My photography is overwhelmingly landscapes, pin-ups, and self-portraits. I am slowly rebuilding my portfolio page at

the first of four big artworks that I've finished this month:

(i don't know why wordpress can't be convinced to send out the real image not the, "look at the first sketch" image, but hopefully this manual fix works)

The image of the Moon, according to the opinion of Apollonius, is the shape of a woman standing upon two bulls; the head of one is next to the tail of the other.

Sindata the Lion Serpent

Firstborn daughtor of the red wyrm Mathrankulranor and a sphinx priestess from one of the Holy Oases of the Sacred Desert, Sindata fought alongside her parents in the great war against her tyrant grandfather, Rankurashma the Pervert, the first dragon-god-king of Avhaar.

Rankurashma ruled Avhaar and terrorized the western borders of the Golden Kingdsoms for centuries before the rise of the Last King of Kings and the war with Illustria. His son, Mathrankulranor, fought and overthrew him in the first centuries of the Vencari calender.

Sindata is remembered in the modern world (swiftly approaching the end of the first millenium VC) alongside her mortal mother as the first and most noble of the ancestors of the Avhaari ancestor cult.
