| Book of Abramelin | |
 |
Around the turn of the century, when Aleister Crowley was working out his system of Magick, the source that he turned to for basics was the system of Abramelin of Egypt. From Abramelin he took his concepts of protections, purifications, evocations, vestments, and dromena down to specific details This system of Abramelin the Mage is known from a unique 15th century manuscript persevered in the Bibliotheque de l`Arsenal in Paris. In it, Abraham of Wurzburg, a cabalist and connoisseur of magics, describes a tour that he made of the then civilized world, visiting sorcerers, magicians, and cabalists, estimating their powers and virtues. This quest is in itself as fascinating as the similar tours of Gurdjieff. The high point of Abraham`s travels was found in a small town on the banks of the Nile, where he encountered the great magician Abramelin, whose complete system Abraham thereupon sets out in detail. This amounts to a complete course in ceremonial magic (both white and black), which the student can pursue by himself. Abramelin, whose system is based mostly on Hellenistic theurgy of the Iamblichan sort, but with Jewish increments from the Cabala, explains the qualifications needed to become a magician, purifications and asceticism`s to be practiced month by month, studies and activities permitted during this period, selections of place and time for working magic, equipment needed, prayers and formulas, evocation of good and evil spirits, commanding spirits, to do one`s will, overcoming rebellious spirits, an similar material. Specific instructions are offered to develop such powers as clairvoyance, divining metals and treasurers, warding off evil magic, healing illness, levitation, transportation, rendering oneself invisible, creating illusions and glamour, reading minds, placing compulsions, working black magic, and a host of other abilities. . |

| Book Of Lies | |
 |
By Aleister Crowley. The Book of Lies was first published in 1913 but reprinted with an additional commentary at the end of each chapter in 1952. Crowley wrote ninety one different chapters in this book; some no longer than a word or as long as two pages, they bring to the reader the thought and value of Crowley to interpret on their own. Many chapters are written in a poetic form, though every page is written with Qabalistic significance. Best of all, hidden within the book is the symbolism of freemasonry as well as many other traditions' symbols. Paperback, 196 pgs. |

| Clavis or Key to the Magic of Solomon (hc) | |
 |
The Clavis or Key to the Magic of Solomon is one of several notebooks from the estate of Ebenezer Sibley, transcribed under the direction of Frederic Hockley. Sibley was a prominent physician and an influential author, who complemented his scientific studies with writings on the 'deeper truths' including magic, astrology, alchemy, and hypnotherapy. Both Sibley and Hockley were major inspirations in the occult revival of the past two centuries, influencing A.E. Waite, S.L. Mathers, Aleister Crowley, as well as the Golden Dawn, Rosicrucian, and Masonic Movements. This collection reflects Sibley`s teachings on the practical use of celestial influences and harmonies. The Clavis contains clear and systematic instructions for constructing magical tools and pentacles for many practical purposes. The Mysterious Ring gives directions for preparing magic rings. Experiments of the Spirits Birto, Vassago, Agares, and Bealpharos, show how to call upon angels and spirits, and perform crystal scrying. The Wheel of Wisdom gives concise directions for using celestial harmonies. The final text, the Complete Book of Magic Science, is closely akin to the Secret Grimoire of Turiel, but more complete. The Manuscript reproduced here is the most accurate and complete known, very beautifully and carefully written. With extraordinary hand-colored seals and colored handwritten text, with the only exception being the elimination of blank page, resulting in a 282 page, color copy of the original, marvelous text. |

| Compendium Maleficarum | |
 |
This extraordinary document, considered one of the most important manuals ever compiled on witchcraft, offers striking insight into the early 17th century mind and society`s attempts to cope with the evils it saw manifested in sorcery. A collection of writings by the Ambrosian monk Francesco Maria Guazzo, the Compendium comprehensively and penetratingly describes the entire practice and profession of witchcraft. First published in 1608, the commentaries came at an appropriate time. Contemporary accounts noted that witchcraft and sorcery had 'spread in all directions', leaving 'no country, town, village, or district, no class of society' free from the practice. This probing work, by a distinguished writer and scholar who perceived the devil as an evil force seeking to destroy men`s bodies and souls, was an attempt to help man live piously and devoutly, thus guarding against such seductions and manipulations. reproduced from a rare limited edition published in 1929 and supplemented with may erudite editorial notes by Reverend Montague Summers, the Compendium Maleficarum includes profoundly serious discussions of witches` pacts with the devil, finely detailed descriptions of witches` powers, poisons and crimes ; sleep-inducing spells and methods for removing them, apparitions of demons and specters, diseases caused by demons, and other topics. Also examined in detail are witches` alleged powers to transport themselves from place to place, create living things, make beasts talk and the dead reappear; witches` use of religion to heal the sick, laws observed by witches to cause and cure illness, differences between demoniacs and the bewitched, and other subjects from the realm of the supernatural. Here is an encyclopedic tract of incalculable worth to the historian and student of the occult and anyone intrigued by necromantic lore, sabbats, sorceries and trafficking with demons. |

| Decoding the Enochian Secrets (hc) | |
 |
Originally considered a vital part of inspirational literature used by the early church, th Book of Enoch never made it into the canon of accepted books of the Old Testament because of its strange and mysterious content about Enoch`s experiences in the higher realms, or heavens. The actual Book of Enoch, which is a set of almost 100 mystical tables, was given again to humankind in the 1580s, when it was conveyed directly by angels to Dr. John Dee, a 16th-century mathematician, scientist, occultist, and the astrologer of Queen Elizabeth I. Called 'the most important book ever given to man by God' by Dee 'Angelic messengers, the Book (or Tables) of Enoch' is said to hold all the secrets of heaven and earth and the physical and spiritual realms. Decoding the Enochian Secrets reproduces for the first time ever the exact and complete copy of these tables, which are housed in the British Library. The tables are in the handwriting of Dr. Dee and Edward Kelly, Dee`s assistant and scryer. Covering the history of this Book or Tables of Enoch, John DeSalvo explains the difference between these tables and the apocryphal Book of Enoch and examines how later magicians such as Aleister Crowley used them. Including Enochain magic meditations and rituals and a reconstruction of the possible 49th missing Table of Enoch, Deconding the Enochian Secrets presents the source text to the most powerful form of magic known to mankind. This is a 228 page hard cover book |

| Demonology of King James I | |
 |
Written by King James I and published in 1597, the original edition of Demonology is widely regarded as one of the most interesting and controversial religious writings in history, yet because it is written in the language of its day, it has been notoriously difficult to understand. Now occult scholar Donald Tyson has modernized and annotated the original text, making this historically important work accessible to contemporary readers. Also deciphered here, for the first time, is the anonymous tract News from Scotland, an account of the North Berwick witch trials over which King James presided. Tyson examines King James` obsession with witches and their alleged attempts on his life, and offers a knowledgeable and sympathetic look at the details of magick and witchcraft in the Jabobean period. Demonology features historical woodcut illustrations and includes the original old English texts in their entirety. |
