Seven Sacred Magis from Toby’s Secret Society
Ever-present and silent, Magis are the keeper of memories. They appear in the series Hide and Seek in the forest of ChouChou-collecting disembodied ChouChou heads and bringing them to a safe resting place. Otherwise, Demons crack open the ChouChou heads and eat their brains. Magis also appear “Toby’s Secret Society” (2011), representing Compassion, Destiny, Freedom, Lust, Love, Trust, and Truth. These words are written on their vestments in Latin (with one exception, Purr for Comapssion; inspired by the artist’s cat). Midnight Magi (2005) is the keeper of one’s darkest nightmares. Muerto Magi (2009) is the keeper of one’s dream reality.
