I wholeheartedly recommend "Hexen 2.0" by Suzanne Treister (https://www.suzannetreister.net/HEXEN2/HEXEN_2.html). A similar type of diagrams, related to the "mysticism of the 20th century" - CIA, computing, quantum, counterculture, etc.


Makes me think of Dr. Bronner and his fabulous soap


Definitely the same vibe!


The appearance of the pages -- filling all empty space -- reminds me of the style known as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horror_vacui.


These look like William Wordsworth’s paintings and plates.
