Mandrake (2015) “Magica Sexualis” Art Exhibit Opens in Brooklyn While Magus Gilmore and fellow Church of Satan members had departed before an intoxicated fellow became unruly and had to be ejected, the attendees at the well-attended opening shared conviviality and an appreciation of the collection of works on display exploring magic and sexuality in many different forms. The exhibition “Magica Sexualis,” alongside Jel Ena’s “Sanctum Infernum,” will continue through December at Stephen Romano Gallery.
