I'm Brynja Magnusson

Tlaloc Quiahutl​

​​​

I am a student of shamanic practice, an artist in the visionary and psychedelic genres and an author of archetypal and energetic reference books. With my art I commit complex systems to image, I integrate psychedelic perspectives, and I transcribe spiritual archetypes.  My art is a momentum builder and my tool for communicating.  Art is a vehicle, a powerful currency of attention for individuals to find meaningful practices and education.  

​​

My process of learning on this path is in collecting systems: systems of divination, of symbols, of archetypes, of energetics, of cosmology, of reading the patterns in nature. We live in moist machines and the language these moist machines speak is symbol.

 

And our universe is made of symbol and speaks symbol. And we can speak back to it with symbol.

​

In all my experience, if you want a project, goal, or wish to gain momentum, you can help do this through art. Art attracts attention, it is an electrolyte of society, we put it where we want society to look. If you put art behind it, it will gain gravity, speed, and attention. 

 

An underlying message in my art is unifying spiritual and scientific. Ceremonial and clinical. ​Natural world and academic world. ​Bringing interest to the psychedelic movement through beauty.​ Bringing depth to the use of medicine and symbol via visual description. ​

​​​

I have attempted to resist using painting as a spiritual medium for my adult life until I studied at CoSM under Alex grey, Allyson Grey, and Amanda sage. I saw that art magnetized a community. It calls in scientists, healers, innovators, researchers, and spiritual teachers. I saw that art is central to transcribing information for a community. It allows me to communicate the message that I think is important, and the message that the creative spirits who work with me also feel is important. And we can try to use creative tools to journey to the deepest place in the universe together, which is our hearts.

​​

​

The products I make are the result of the physical, energetic, and esoteric sciences I find value in.  My goal is to bring forward ancient, forgotten, confusing, or oppressed tools of awareness and healing through art and creativity.  By giving an artistic platform to obscured wisdom we can maintain and promote the lineages of all human beings.

If you need a creative fire, send me a spark, I'd love to hear from you.
