Lore Spores, vol.1: PAREIDOODLES
Tales & Tools for Enhanced Enchantment
 
“Michaelangelo is a true original, unraveling the mysteries of reality with deep, poetic insight. Everything he creates—his illustrations, his words, the strange magic that connects them—feels otherworldly. I’m pretty sure he’s not from around here”
—RAMIN NAZER, artist and host of Rainbow Brainskull
 
"A bold exploration of the edges of creativity, tethered to clear-minded thoughtfulness. Michaelangelo’s words always entertain and inspire."
—SHANE MAUSS, comedian and host of InSHanely Curious
 
Discover the oracular nature of reality through art, insight, and intuition—unlock a new way of seeing and being that reveals more of yourself to yourself.
 
Part art book, part mystical toolkit, and part creative playground, Lore Spores, vol.1 invites you to become the oracle—no special powers required. With a playful approach, it reveals how we can revive a lost continent of the psyche, hidden in plain sight—an ever-present but often overlooked aspect of reality, waiting to be reanimated through attention
 
This interactive exploration of pareidolia—the mind’s tendency to find meaning in randomness—unfolds through whimsical artworks, creative exercises, and personal anecdotes, while tracing the practice of divination back to its origins. The Ungoogleable Michaelangelo unveils a practice that turns chaos into creativity, stains into stories, and perception into prophecy.
 
At its core, the book promotes a message of love for the strange and unfamiliar. In a world growing increasingly xenophobic, this optimistic inside-outlook offers an antidote—empowering the reader, through a philosophy of dynamic inclusivity and acceptance of The Other that begins with The Self, to embrace all the fractured aspects of the psyche back into wholeness.
 
Let the signs speak, the lines guide your hand, and The Lore unfold.
