Peter Mark Adams’ The Game of Saturn: Decoding the Sola-Busca Tarocchi is the first full length, scholarly study of the enigmatic Renaissance masterwork known as the Sola-Busca tarot.

The Game of Saturn is the first full length, scholarly study of the enigmatic Renaissance masterwork known as the Sola-Busca tarot. It reveals the existence of a pagan liturgical and ritual tradition active amongst members of the Renaissance elite and encoded within the deck. Beneath its beautifully decorated surface, its imagery ranges from the obscure to the grotesque; we encounter scenes of homoeroticism, wounding, immolation and decapitation redolent of hidden meanings, violent transformations and obscure rites.

For the first time in over five hundred years, the clues embedded within the cards reveal a dark gnostic grimoire replete with pagan theurgical and astral magical rites. Careful analysis demonstrates that the presiding deity of this ‘cult object’ is none other than the Gnostic demiurge in its most archaic and violent form: the Afro-Levantine serpent-dragon, Ba’al Hammon, also known as Kronos and Saturn, though more notoriously as the biblical Moloch, the devourer of children.

Conveyed from Constantinople to Italy in the dying years of the Byzantine Empire, the pagan Platonist George Gemistos Plethon sought to ensure the survival of the living essence of Neoplatonic theurgy by transplanting it to the elite families of the Italian Renaissance. Within that violent and sorcerous milieu, Plethon’s vision of a theurgically enlightened elite mutated into its dark shadow – a Saturnian brotherhood, operating within a cosmology of predation, which sought to channel the draconian current to preserve elite wealth, power and control. This development marks the birth of an ‘illumined elite’ over three centuries before Adam Weishaupt’s ‘Illuminati.’ The deck captures the essence of this magical tradition and constitutes a Western terma whose talismanic properties may serve to establish an initiatory link with the current.

This work fully explores the historical context for the deck’s creation against the background of tense Ferrarese-Venetian diplomatic intrigue and espionage. The recovery of the deck’s encoded narratives constitutes a significant contribution to Renaissance scholarship, art history, tarot studies and the history of Western esotericism.

Evil: A study of lost techniques by Jason Bahbak Mohaghegh is a mapping of evil in its minor prisms of fascination through an infinitely complex set of micro-techniques. A singular work of sustained intensity.

Evil: A study of lost techniques by philosopher Jason Bahbak Mohaghegh is a theoretical investigation into the aesthetics and intensities of cruelty, mapping evil in its minor prisms of fascination. Mohaghegh explores evil as an infinitesimal complex of techniques – subtle inflections of possibility and obscure typologies of influence that bring together the rarest philosophies of oblivion, decadence, cruelty, derangement, ecstasy, atrocity, rage, and mystery alongside the most intricate poetic genres of the rant, the elegy, the riddle, the whisper, the threat, the question, silence, and the nocturne.

Through a labyrinthine series of notes, diagrams, and outer limit speculations, this book attempts to uncover those concealed fragments which together form the architecture of another world altogether. A singular work of sustained intensity.

Down Here is the first of a meticulously researched and lavishly illustrated three volume work, The Tarot of Marsilio by Christophe Poncet; a landmark inquiry into the origins of the Tarot de Marseille. Against the prevalent view in the academy – that the tarot was never used, before the 18th century, for anything other than card games – Poncet argues that the Tarot de Marseille is a work of esoteric philosophy hidden in plain sight.

Through a careful analysis of artworks, philosophical texts, and the imagery and symbolism of the cards, Poncet places and dates the deck to Florence in the 1470s. Marsilio Ficino, translator of the Corpus Hermeticum and the complete works of Plato, is identified as the likely mastermind behind this tarot. In this first volume, the imagery and meaning of the Chariot, the Devil, the Lovers, Strength, the Hermit, the House of God, Arcanum XIII and the Fool are explored.

As readers of Two Esoteric Tarots will know, Poncet’s investigation is comparable to that of Peter Mark Adams in The Game of Saturn, shedding new light on heterodox thought in the Renaissance.

Christophe Poncet has been on a decades long quest to discover the truth about the Tarot de Marseille and the esoteric ideas encoded in the cards. The Tarot of Marsilio takes us on an extraordinary journey of discovery, from a lost masterpiece of Botticelli in a ruined castle, through the stacks of the Vatican library, artist’s sketchbooks, and works in the collections of the Louvre, the British Museum, and the National Gallery. Poncet brings us into the hermetic thought-world of the circle around the brilliant polymath Marsilio Ficino.

For the tarot reader and occultist, this work opens up a profound understanding of the cards, their history and the context of their creation. With these keys we can read the visual language of the trumps as they were intended, and play the game of Western esotericism at a deeper level. Whether enhancing our divinations or stimulating the practice of talismanic and image magic, Poncet changes forever our understanding of the most archetypal and iconic tarot deck.

ARRITON is an enigmatic work from the artist Ayis Lertas. To open ARRITON is to encounter the remnants of a lost esoteric tradition, leaves from an untranslated manuscript, a chance find amongst the disordered bookstalls of a remote ancient city. The seeker is thence immersed into a world redolent of gnostic gems, magical alphabets, defixiones and the spells of the magical papyri, which unfolds following a logic all of its own and yet remains entirely alien. It is a Borgesian artefact which will intrigue, challenge and reward contemplation.

ARRITON is a gnomic and sigilic tour de force comprising 92 leaves of dense calligraphic images, ideograms and magical charaktêres, mysterious forms that have been subjected to applied erosion by the cruel hands of time. They seem fragile, these ragged-edged torn survivals from the library of Babel; bound together they comprise a relic of a numinous sorcerous hinterland that was hitherto unknown.

There are books about magic, and there are magical books. ARRITON belongs to that rarer second category. It speaks deeply to those who are willing to surrender to the abyssal silence and be absorbed in the power of sign and symbol. 

Holy Daimon is the result of more than ten years of ritual and theoretical magical research. The book provides a clear path to creating communion with one’s holy daimon. The first in a trilogy of works by Frater Acher blending historical insights with practical ritual work.

Holy Daimon is issued in a new edition, with 18 illustrations by Jose Gabriel Alegría Sabogal. This first volume of Frater Acher’s Holy Daimon cycle is the result of more than ten years of ritual and theoretical magical research, and is comprised of three parts: History, Memory and Practice, providing a well-grounded introduction, as well as a practical path to creating communion with one’s holy daimon. 

Rather than drawing on Abramelin or Crowley’s Liber Samekh, Frater Acher returns to the source, analysing the daimon as it was experienced in three cultures, Chaldean, Zoroastrian and Ancient Greek. These give a necessary overview to contextualise the material that follows, and restores the daimon to its central place in the journey of attainment. 

Acher then gives a full account of his own personal communion with his holy daimon. As a magical record of a modern practitioner it is an important testimony for those embarking on the path, and a rare account given the secrecy within which most practitioners operate.  

In the third and final section of the work Acher gives his streamlined exercises for attaining communion with the daimon; culminating in a fully restored rite from the Greek Magical Papyri.

Whilst the author’s focus is on enabling hands-on magical work, the book is not a traditional grimoire or grammar of magic; the work is of a deeply mystical nature.

Ppaerback Edition. Sewn paperback printed on 120gsm paper, with yellow card covers printed in black with gold foil.

Holy Heretics is the third and final volume in the Holy Daimon cycle. Blending occult philosophy, magic and mysticism, Frater Acher guides the reader through the centuries with a series of practical exercises and rites which ultimately restore the powerful Olympic spirits to their original magical context.

Frater Acher identifies certain techniques of mysticism as a prerequisite for the work of magic, as the often missing element in the development of a serious practice. The advanced magical rites Holy Heretics contains are built from the foundations of simple practical exercises. These are provided and carefully explained. When performed, these rites form a luminous chain for the student who wishes to attain to adepthood and the mastery of empty-handed magic.

Holy Heretics offers a challenge to magicians who have reactively rejected Christianity, and a challenge to Christians who are unaware of the heretical tensions that run throughout Christian mysticism. As Acher writes, ‘I am very aware that searching for such a path among the very people who for centuries tried to usurp and control or deform and kill the Western magical tradition is a big ask. On such an expedition to find the narrow path we’ll soon be crawling through the bones, blood and ashes of our ancestors. And yet, at the same time we’ll also encounter beauty and genuine practice, true grace and deep spiritual power.’ The mystic and magician is always a threat to spiritual orthodoxy, and Acher navigates us through that difficult space. As a guide, he approaches the Christian material fairly, is generous when appropriate, and unapologetic when describing its worst excesses. The work draws extensively from manuscript sources and texts that are not available in English, illuminating a hitherto neglected world. All is done with the aim of extracting the spiritual gold of our own heart prayer, rather than imbibing the poison of orthodoxy.

In Book I of Holy Heretics we are taken on a mystical tour de force, beginning with the Desert Fathers and the austerities forged in the wilderness. From Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite we discover mystical prayer as a method to bypass the cognitive mind, and then enter into the inner stillness of Hesychasm. We stand with Symeon the New Theologian at the edge of the Abyss, and witness the remarkable visions of Hildegard of Bingen. We watch the potential of the mustard seed unfold, and encounter the radical this-worldliness of the Theologia Germanica, a manifesto for the gnostic practitioner that threatens the supremacy of the Catholic Church itself by directing the individual to seek their own illumination.

In Book II, Frater Acher turns his attention to magic, as an art of symphonic harmonious co-creation. The nature of the magical call is described, and the use of the magical bell introduced with historical examples. Next Acher considers Paracelsus, giving a full English translation of his little known Arcanum arcanorum, a celestial rite to summon both one’s holy daimon and the seven Olympic spirits with such a bell. The riteis expertly deciphered, from its use of alchemical tincture to its astrological timing, by following clues across the Paracelsian and Pseudo-Paracelsian corpus. The work culminates with Frater Acher’s restored version of the Ritual of the Olympic Spirit, opening the gates of the seven spirits and uniting them into one greater Olympic Spirit. The final act thus draws on all the lessons that Holy Heretics has laid out and the flame burning in our hearts.

Gordon White’s sequel to his acclaimed Star.Ships is a book of adventure and encounter, of optimism and healing. Ani.Mystic: Encounters with a Living Cosmos is, explicitly, a magician’s book, a dreaming book, one which aims to fundamentally shift the discourse within the western magical tradition. Gordon explains, ‘the sole preoccupation of this book is exploring and uncovering animism as a dangerous category of European thought…’

Gordon begins by giving the standard definition of animism as ‘the belief that the world is made up of persons, only some of whom are humans,’ before taking us with him ‘to its farthest epistemological hinterlands.’ In dialogue with teachers of Indigenous knowledge, spirits, angels, star people, saints, plants, and beast masters and mothers, Gordon weaves a new story of trans-species collaboration and custodianship.

To get to that point, he interrogates and dismantles a series of constructs: materialist-naturalism, the notion of invasive species, the nature-culture divide and the binaries of domestic vs wild and forest vs garden, and the concept of ‘animism’ itself. We are then shown what it means to think with Deep Time, with Country and in Ceremony. Solutions and best practice are drawn from dialogue with the cultures he partakes in and the disciplines of magic and permaculture.

Our journey begins in an airport hotel bar in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, and the story unfolds through encounters with forest spirits, shark gods and cities of the dead. From stone altars in Micronesia, ancestral Maori pâ, and Aboriginal songlines to lecturing on UFOs at the Guggenheim in New York and avenging angels in London, the journey gathers momentum. We experience songlines, fire storms and rain dragons in Tasmania, and are finally brought into ceremony with Ayahuasca in Peru.

Gordon is transformed through his encounters with a living cosmos, and in the Telling. In walking in the magician’s footsteps, the candour of his heartbreaks and triumphs, we are invited to come into right relation ourselves, toward the cosmic aim of mutual flourishing.

In Artaud and the Gnostic Drama, Jane Goodall offers a reappraisal of the importance of Antonin Artaud (1896–1948), mythologised as an icon of failure and madness, and examines the intricate parallels between his heretical dramaturgy and the heresies of ancient Gnosticism. The book situates Artaud, as the most extravagant of heretics, in company with the Gnostics whose speculations served to define heresy in the beginnings of the Christian tradition. Artaud subscribed to the Gnostic idea that the sensible world was created by a demiurge who was "imperfect, possibly evil and depraved.” His cosmology is inherently dramatic, setting creature against creator, force against form, matter against spirit, pious knowledge against heretical gnosis. Jane Goodall argues that major post-structuralist critics such as Derrida, Deleuze, and Foucault, who have enlisted Artaud in their own anti-orthodoxies, have refused to pay attention to the terms of his own heresy. In this refusal, they display an anxiety towards the gnostic drama and its heresies, which mount an assault that may be more powerful than their own upon the founding tenets of western thought.

First published by the Clarendon Press, Oxford in 1994, the text has been lightly revised for this second edition, and is illustrated.

Liber Thagirion “The Draconian Grimoire of the Black Sun” by Asenath Mason 

Thagirion is the central Qlipha on the Qabalistic Tree of Night, or Tree of Death. Like Tiphereth, existing on the Tree of Life, it is the heart of the universe and the mediator between the worlds above and the worlds below. Yet, while Tiphereth is the Sun of the Dayside, representing Cosmic Balance, Harmony and Integrity, Thagirion is called the Disputer, or Litigator, and symbolizes Hollowness and the principle of Disintegration, the Black Sun of the Qlipoth. It is the force of Transgression, the inner portal to the Void which powers up the Desire of Evolution. It is also one of the hardest ordeals on the path, as it exposes the Initiate to Solitude, when all guides and allies abandon us and we are left alone in the darkness of the Nightside in order to learn the meaning of Isolation and Independence – the true foundations of Godhood. Rituals and meditations included in this grimoire will guide the reader through the mysteries of the Black Sun from the perspective of the Draconian Initiate. The book is centered on the Tree of Qlipoth as the emanation and manifestation of the Dragon of the Void, the timeless magical current behind the Draconian Tradition. It introduces the reader into the magic of Thagirion through the Qabalistic concept of the Qlipoth and the antinomian current of the Adversary, which is the Path of Isolation and the part of the Left Hand Path tradition, and the rituals included in the book are designed for a solitary practitioner of Draconian self-initiatory magic.

Advent of the Space Master by Kyle Fite

Described by the Author as “a type of explorative poem, drawn up, in places, from...engagement with a mode of quantum mediumship,” ADVENT OF THE SPACE MASTER follows its precursor, Hoodoo Pilot, to the Space Station circling the Third Star of the Celestial Spring, Alpha Sagittarii. There the venerable Abbe Boullan continues his Magical Ministrations in territories far beyond-yet intimately connected to-the Planet known as Earth. 

Accompanying the Abbe is an unlikely crew, working diligently to accomplish The Great Work. Old enemies have become friends as we discover that “everything which rises must converge.” Oswald Wirth and Stanislas de Guaita assist with operations as Pataphysical Bardonaut, Alfred Jarry, gives report on his Half-Life After Death. The Baphometian trajectory of Walter Jantschik's obsessive labors is examined in conversation with the presiding Bishop of the Bathos Church and the anatomy of the Inner World of the ZYTH is described in terms of its Initiatory Implicits.

From The Choronzon Club to the Omega Gate to the Vortex opening into the 15th Dimension, ADVENT OF THE SPACE MASTER is a commentary upon perceptual calibration and noetic navigation of Spaces which, fantastic or fictitious as they may seem, we must all come to terms with in the Transformative Alembic between Form and Void. 

Advent of the Space Master is 236 pages, fully illustrated with original art by the Author.

By Kenneth Grant. The republishing of the Typhonian Trilogies reaches its climax with the long-awaited and much-anticipated release of the ninth and final volume in the series, “The Ninth Arch”, which completes the third of the three trilogies. Originally published in 2002 and long out of print, this enhanced edition of 1500 copies is freshly typeset in an octavo format of 592 pages. Sewn-bound hardback, with a colour frontispiece, a 32-page section of colour and half-tone plates, illustrated endpapers and a full-colour dust jacket, this republication incorporates corrections noted in Kenneth Grant personal copy of the book. Many of the plates have been rephotographed, and some are printed in colour for the first time. Six of the plates are new, and are taken from an illuminated “Book of the Law” created by Steffi Grant in the mid 1940s. 

The Ninth Arch is the final volume of the Typhonian Trilogies. It comprises an extended analysis of and commentary upon “Liber OKBISh, The Book of the Spider”, a transmitted text which was received in the course of the Workings of New Isis Lodge in the 1950s.  Grant’s novella “Against the Light” (Starfire Publishing, London; 1997, 2016) casts some of the themes of “Liber OKBISh” into fictional form.  

New Isis Lodge was the final name given to a magical group developed by Kenneth and Steffi Grant over several years in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The main body of work by New Isis Lodge extended over the years 1955 to 1962, and it was on the basis of his experiences within this Lodge that Grant was later to publish his monumental series of nine volumes which has come to be known collectively as the Typhonian Trilogies. Including several O.T.O. members from Crowley’s day, an insight into some of their methods is given in “Hecate’s Fountain” (Skoob Books Publishing, London, 1992; Starfire Publishing, London, 2014). Another transmitted text, the “Wisdom of S’lba”, together with several chapters of commentary amd analysis, is published in “Outer Gateways” (Skoob Books Publishing, London, 1994; Starfire Publishing, London, 2015).

From the author's account on the inside flaps of the dustjacket for the first edition of this book:

“The Ninth Arch”, comprising the “Book of the Spider (OKBISh)”, is the final volume of a series of Trilogies which trace the emergence into historic times of an ancient body of occult doctrine known as the Typhonian Tradition.

 In order fully to understand its purpose and content, “The Ninth Arch” should be scanned against the background of the larger canvas on which it is painted. Such an approach will facilitate insight into the Oracles of “OKBISh” and their accompanying comments. As an additional aid to focussing salient features of the Tradition, the author's Nightside Narrative, “Against the Light” (Starfire Publishing, 2016), should serve as a helpful and explanatory ‘footnote’ to the circumstances existing at the time “OKBISh” was ‘received’.

 The Oracles were communicated audibly, and occasionally visually, to various members of New Isis Lodge (1955-62) and at certain stages of magical ritual. The Current which generated the material began, sporadically, as early as 1939, with the initial movement of a transmission which developed over the years into the text known as the “Wisdom of S’lba” (see “Outer Gateways”, Starfire Publishing, 2015). In 1945, the “Wisdom”– then in its nascent stage – was recognized by Aleister Crowley as an authentic communication. From that time, the Informing Intelligence went on to complete the “Wisdom”, and proceeded to produce the massive series of Oracles presented in “The Ninth Arch”. The mode of reception has been described in the Introduction. The method of documentation confirms beyond cavil the validity of serial qabalah, as used previously in analyses of the “Wisdom”.

 The richly complex pattern of magical correspondences, in both cases, has proved of unparalleled value in determining genuine contact with occult forces possessed of Knowledge and Prescience concerning important terrestrial Events. That the pattern reflects direct contact with an indefinitely ancient yet ever new Typhonian Gnosis, is demonstrated by the application of relentless and rigorous qabalistic exegesis, as recorded in the comments.

For readers interested in significant relationships between Numerical (physical) and Magico-Mystical (metaphysical) concepts, “The Ninth Arch” contains an exhaustive thesaurus of the Typhonian Tradition. But beyond considerations of gematria, the Oracles of “OKBISh”adumbrate Events likely to overtake planet Earth within the lifetime of many of the book's readers; and – for individuals who are able to interpret the Oracles in terms relative to their own magical universe – they issue warnings of the dangers that lie ahead of those unprepared to invoke the Sign of Protection against the oncoming wave of Outer Forces set to assume control of the planet. Now, at the turn of a millenium, it seems appropriate to release this Knowledge.

The reprinting of the Typhonian Trilogies continues with the eighth volume in the series, Beyond the Mauve Zone, which is the second volume of the third and final trilogy.

Beyond the Mauve Zone was first published by Starfire Publishing in 1999. A second edition was published in 2016. Freshly typeset, it incorporated corrections noted in Kenneth Grant’s personal copy of the book. The second edition appeared in an octavo format of 334 pages, with a colour frontispiece, a twenty-page section of colour and half-tone plates, black and white illustrated endpapers and a full-colour dustjacket. Where possible, plates were rephotographed for the second edition, many reproduced in colour for the first time.

The forthcoming publication is a reprint of this second edition. As with all volumes in this series of reprints, it will be available in two formats: hardback, bound in black cloth and with a dustjacket; and paperback, with a sturdy cover. Both formats will be sewnbound on good-quality paper.

Oblique to the paths that give on to other dimensions, and beyond them, there lies a region which the author has termed “the Mauve Zone”. Mystics, magicians, sorcerers, artists of many kinds have - over the centuries - skirted it, stumbled upon it, and fled from it. Very few have penetrated beyond it and survived, or cared to leave any record of the experience. Those that did, have had to present their accounts as fiction, or discover a new means of communication - via weird art, symbols, hieroglyphics, signs which fellow pilgrims alone might recognise.

Access to the Mauve Zone has been facilitated in more recent times by the use of magical systems developed by occultists such as Austin Osman Spare and Aleister Crowley, both of whom established contact with inter-dimensional entities possessed of trans-human knowledge and power. Both systems involve the use of sexual magick to open hidden gates that have remained sealed for centuries.

The present book contains references to these systems, as well as to the explorative work of skilled contemporary Adepts such as Michael Bertiaux, Margaret Ingalls (Nema), Jeffrey and Ruth Evans, and the Patriarch of the “Ecclesia Gnostica Alba”, Zivorad Mihaljovic, which places them in the forefront of present-day practitioners.

There is also included a detailed account of the Cosmic Energy in humanity, known anciently as the Fire Snake, the Kundalini of Oriental arcane tradition which it is necessary to awaken if access to the Mauve Zone, and beyond, is to be achieved successfully. The account is based upon a rare Tantric work which provides veritable keys to the Mauve Zone and to the magico-mystical formulae designed to surpass it.

“Beyond the Mauve Zone” paves the way for the final volume, “The Ninth Arch”, in a series comprising three Typhonian Trilogies.

The reprinting of the Typhonian Trilogies continues with the sixth volume in the series, Hecate’s Fountain, which closes the second trilogy.

Hecate’s Fountain was first published by Skoob Publishing in 1992. A second edition was issued by Starfire Publishing in 2014. Freshly typeset, it incorporated corrections noted in Kenneth Grant’s personal copy of the book. The second edition appeared in an octavo format of 316 pages, with a colour frontispiece, a twenty-page section of half-tone and colour plates, illustrated endpapers and a full-colour dustjacket. Where possible, plates were rephotographed, many reproduced in colour for the first time.

This publication is a reprint of this second edition. It will be available in two formats: hardback, bound in black cloth and with a dustjacket; and paperback, with a sturdy cover. Both formats will be sewnbound on good-quality paper.

Hecate’s Fountain is a highly original approach to contemporary Hermetic thought and experimental occultism. During the rituals of New Isis Lodge (1955-1962) it was noted that not all of them achieved the object for which they were performed. The exceptions had curious and often alarming side-effects which the author calls ‘tangential tantra’. It was discovered that these anomalies effected a rapprochment with highly charged dimensions existing between the realms of dreaming and dreamless sleep. This catalytic interface Grant calls the Mauve Zone. The weird nature of these phenomena suggested parallels with H. P. Lovecraft’s Cycle of Myths extrapolated in the fabulous Necronominon, and its affinity with Mauve Zone magick is here meticulously explored.

Many years of research then led to an interpretation, in terms of this magick, of Aleister Crowley’s The Book of the Law. Also explored are seemingly related phenomena in the work of another contemporary, Michael Bertiaux, whose independent discoveries show evidence of traffic with alien beings of Intelligence and Power. Crowley saw contact with such entities as “the only chance for mankind to advance as a whole”.

The Magical Workings of New Isis Lodge have opened the gates to an influx of influences from Outside that will radically alter the direction of experimental occultism.

The reprinting of the Typhonian Trilogies continues with the release in December 2021 of the fourth volume in the series, Nightside of Eden, which opens the second trilogy.

Nightside of Eden was first published by Muller in 1977, and subsequently reissued with an errata page by Skoob Publishing in 1994. A second edition was issued by Starfire Publishing in 2014. Freshly typeset in an octavo format of 320 pages, with a frontispiece, a twenty-page section of plates, illustrated endpapers and a full-colour dustjacket, it incorporated the errata from the Skoob reissue, together with further corrections noted subsequently in Kenneth Grant's personal copy of the book. Where possible, plates were rephotographed, many reproduced in colour for the first time.

The forthcoming publication is a reprint of this second edition. It will be available in two formats: hardback, bound in black cloth and with a dustjacket; and paperback, with a sturdy cover. Both formats will be sewnbound on good-quality paper

There exists a map of consciousness, with its light and dark byways, in the form of a qabalistic glyph known as the Tree of Life. It has its roots in the primal earth of Eden, but its branches extend into extra-terrestrial dimensions. This Tree, which is a familiar concept to mystics and magicians alike, has another side, a nightside which receives but passing mention in contemporary manuals of occultism; as if the ancient writings of the Arabs and Jews contained allusions to mere figures of speech and monstrous fancies.

Nightside of Eden interprets the symbolism of the Tree of Death, the "other" side of the Tree of Life which forms the basis of the Western Occult Tradition. Kenneth Grant, whose Typhonian Trilogies have infused new life and meaning into ancient and forgotten mysteries, here provides an exhaustive survey of the other side of the Tree, haunted by dark forces that are today seeping insidiously into human consciousness and threatening it with violent disruption. The creative magical current represented by Aleister Crowley, Charles Stansfeld Jones, Austin Osman Spare, and in our day by Michael Bertiaux, Margaret Cook, and others, is here traced to its source in the formless voids beyond the threshold of mentation.

Nightside of Eden is an explication of the Cult of Choronzon and an initiated exposition of the Mysteries of the Left-Hand Path in relation to Western Occultism. Here, for the first time, the head of a genuine Magical Organization reveals the esoteric doctrines of the magic of the Left-Hand Path, as well as the practical application of psycho-sexual formulae of which very little is generally known.

The book is illustrated not only with the demonic sigils of the "other side", which make of it a grimoire of the Dark Doctrine, but also by curious works of siderealism, or stellar art, sprung from the New Aeon consciousness which permeates those occult Orders working in harmony with the Typhonian Tradition.

Hardback Edition

The reprinting of the Typhonian Trilogies continues with the third volume in the series, “Cults of the Shadow”. “Cults of the Shadow” was first published by Muller in November 1975, and subsequently reissued with an errata page by Skoob Publishing in 1994. A  second edition was released by Starfire Publishing in 2013. This edition was freshly typeset, assimilating the errata from the Skoob reissue, together with further corrections noted subsequently in Kenneth Grant's personal copy of the book. The second edition appeared in an octavo format of 264 pages, with a sumptuous colour frontispiece by Steffi Grant, a twenty-page section of colour and half-tone plates, illustrated endpapers, and a full-colour dustjacket.  Where possible, plates were rephotographed for the second edition, some presented in colour for the first time.

This new publication is a reprint of the second edition. It will be available in September 2021 in two formats: hardback, bound in black cloth and with a dustjacket; and paperback, with a sturdy cover. Both formats will be sewnbound on good-quality paper

Cults of the Shadow explores obscure aspects of occultism that have been frequently, and mistakenly, associated with the negative and sensational phenomena of so-called “black magic”

Much has been written about the doctrines and techniques of the Right Hand Path, but at the time of the initial publication of this book in 1975, this was the first time that a serious study of the equally valid and legitimate techniques of the Left Hand Path had been made generally available. As a Way of Spiritual Attainment, the Left Hand Path has a more ancient history than its better-known counterpart, for it stems from primeval phases of consciousness that manifested in historic times through the Ophidian Traditions of Africa, the Draconian Cults of ancient Egypt, and the Tantric Systems of India and the Far East. The evolution of these Mysteries is here traced through these, its earliest manifestations, right down to the present time.

The Left Hand Path has been shunned and kept out of sight because it involves a use of the sexual energies as a means of awakening the Serpent Power or Fire Snake, the key to cosmic consciousness, and also of controlling and directing the occult forces of the subconscious mind, the reservoir of infinite knowledge. The generally more enlightened approach to these matters in the present, post-Christian age has made possible the publication of these “occult secrets”, which for nearly 2,000 years have been anathematized on account of their psycho-sexual nature.

Present-day exponents of these Mysteries have formed their own cults for the revival and promulgation of this Secret Gnosis. Among them are Aleister Crowley, with his Cult of the Beast and the Scarlet Woman; Charles Stansfeld Jones, with his curious qabalistic researches; Austin Osman Spare, the artist who evolved his own system of sexual sorcery based upon ancient secrets of Witchcraft; and Michael Bertiaux, with his Cult of the Black Snake.

The reprinting of the Typhonian Trilogies by Kenneth Grant continues with the second volume in the series, Aleister Crowley and the Hidden God.

Aleister Crowley and the Hidden God was first published by Muller in 1973, and subsequently reissued with an errata page by Skoob Publishing in 1992. A second, enhanced edition was issued by Starfire Publishing in 2013; freshly typeset, it incorporated the errata from the Skoob reissue, together with further corrections noted subsequently in Kenneth Grant's personal copy of the book. The second edition appeared in an octavo format of 253 pages, with a frontispiece, a twenty-page section of plates, illustrated endpapers and a full-colour dustjacket. Where possible, plates were rephotographed, some presented in colour for the first time; also included were some previously unpublished drawings and paintings by Steffi Grant.

Artwork for two of the plates has been rephotographed, since the original drawings by Spare were not previously available but have recently come to light. Apart from this, the forthcoming publication is a direct reprint of the second edition. Available in hardback, bound in black cloth and with a dustjacket. Sewnbound on high-quality paper.

Aleister Crowley vowed to free man from bondage by showing him how to invoke his latent genius; the Hidden God. It is characteristic of Crowley that to this end he utilised the mysterious energies of sex: the most potent, most obsessive of man’s illusions which, if used unintelligently, strengthens the false sense of individual existence that divorces him from the fullness of cosmic consciousness.

“Aleister Crowley and the Hidden God” is an exhaustive and critical study of Crowley’s system of sexual magick and the strange rites which he practised and advocated for the purpose of promoting the Law of Freedom with its formula of “Love under Will”. The book reveals the occult workings of the Fire Snake or Kundalini-Goddess, the cosmic power in man which, when awakened by magical means, assumes an external form identified by Crowley as the Scarlet Woman, she who influences the secret power-zones in the body of man and invokes the Hidden God.

Here Kenneth Grant also describes a method of dream control involving the use of the Ophidian Current transmitted by Crowley, Spare, Fortune, Grosche, and others. Its object is to establish contact with extra-terrestrial and non-human beings with the ultimate purpose of transcending the limitations of personality and of realising cosmic consciousness, thus fulfilling the magical formula of the New Aeon.

“Aleister Crowley and the Hidden God” is here republished, available in both hardback and paperback formats. Some of the plates from the first edition are reproduced in colour; there were also some new plates for the second edition, one of which of Kenneth and Steffi Grant in November 2009 is here illustrated to the right. A further three new plates are shown below; from left to right, they are: Formula for hastening Transferences from the twin Ego by Austin Osman Spare; projected frontispiece for Monolith by Steffi Grant; and Evocation by Steffi Grant.

Hardback Edition: Sewnbound in black cloth, with endpapers printed in colour, protected by a full colour dustjacket.

By Kenneth Grant. Outside the Circles of Time was first published in 1980. This is a reprint of the second edition published in 2008, which was freshly typeset, with many of the original illustrations in colour, and augmented with previously unpublished artwork by Steffi Grant. The fifth volume in the series of Grant’s Typhonian Trilogies, this is a work that covers an extremely wide area and exposes – to quote from the jacket of the 1980 edition – “a network more complex than was ever imagined: a network not unlike H.P. Lovecraft’s dark vision of sinister forces lurking at the rim of the universe”. Outside the Circles of Time explores a complex of such ideas, from Blavatsky’s Secret Doctrine, Crowley’s The Book of the Law, Lovecraft’s Necronomicon, and Frater Achad’s researches. It also explores the work of Soror Andahadna, a contemporary Priestess of Maat whose work has parallels with that of Frater Achad some decades previously when he announced the inauguration of the Aeon of Maat in April 1948. On the more orthodox premise that each Aeon lasts approximately 2,000 years, we are at the beginning of the Aeon of Horus, so the Aeon of Maat might appear a long way off yet. However, the following passage from Outside the Circles of Time puts the matter in a different light:

Myths and legends are of the past, but Maat should not be thought of in terms of past or future aeons. Maat is present now for those who, knowing the ‘sacred alignments’ and the ‘Gateway of Inbetweenness’, experience the Word ever coming, ever emaning, from the Mouth, in the ever new and ever present forms that are continually being generated from the mystical Atu or House of Maat, the Ma-atu . . .

But the book is not simply or even primarily about the Aeon of Maat. It is a potent weaving of a host of apparently diverse strands into a broad, deep and powerful current. Though Grant’s volumes in the Typhonian Trilogies have each a unique flavour, Outside the Circles of Time seemed to herald a jump into a different dimension. To round off this synopsis, the closing paragraphs are taken from the Introduction. They convey at once the direction and flavour of this rich and powerful book:

One final point is here relevant, and I state it without apology. It is not my purpose to try to prove anything; my aim is to construct a magical mirror capable of expressing some of the less elusive images seen as shadows of a future aeon. This I do by means of suggestion, evocation, and by those oblique and ‘inbetweenness concepts’ that Austin Spare defined as ‘Neither-Neither’. When this is understood, the reader’s mind becomes receptive to the influx of certain concepts that can, if received undistortedly, fertilize the unknown dimensions of his consciousness. In order to achieve this aim a new manner of communication has to be evolved; language itself has to be reborn, revivified, and given a new direction and a new momentum. The truly creative image is born of creative imagining, and this is – ultimately – an irrational process that transcends the grasp of human logic.

It is well known that scientists and mathematicians have evolved a cryptic language, a language so elusive, so fugitive, and yet so essentially cosmic that it forms an almost qabalistic mode of communication, often misinterpreted by its own initiates! Our position is not quite as desperate, for we are dealing primarily with the body-mind complex in its relation to the universe, and the body-aspect is deeply rooted in the soil of sentiency. Our minds may not understand, but in the deeper layers of subconsciousness where humanity shares a common bed, there is instant recognition. Similarly, a magician devises his ceremony in harmony with the forces he wills to invoke, so an author must pay considerable attention to the creation of an atmosphere that is suitable for his operations. Words are his magical instruments, and their vibrations must produce not a merely arbitrary noise, but an elaborate symphony of tonal reverberations that trigger a series of increasingly profound echoes in the consciousness of his readers. One cannot over-emphasize or over-estimate the importance of this subtle form of alchemy, for it is in the nuances, and not necessarily in the rational meanings of the words and numbers employed, that the magick resides. Furthermore, it is very often in the suggestion of certain words not used, yet indicated or employed by other words having no direct relation to them, that produce the most precise definitions. The edifice of a reality-construct may sometimes be reared only by an architecture of absence, whereby the real building is at one and the same time revealed and concealed by an alien structure haunted by probabilities. These are legion, and it is the creative faculty of the reader – awake and active – that can people the house with souls. So then, this book may mean many things to many readers, and different things to all; but to none can it mean nothing at all, for the house is constructed in such a manner that no echo can be lost.

By Kenneth Grant. When the original manuscript of this book was submitted for publication, the author was told he had provided “too much material for one book”. This proved to be correct. The work here presented – in an enhanced edition – became the first volume of three Trilogies. It provides a detailed analysis of certain occult traditions which existed long before the Christian epoch, survived its persecutions and anathemas, and reappeared in recent times with renewed vigour.

The continuity of this magical current as reflected in the work of Aleister Crowley, Austin Osman Spare, Dion Fortune and others is here traced through the Tantrik Tradition of the Far East, the Sumerian Cult of Shaitan and the Draconian, Sabian, or Typhonian rites of the 'dark' dynasties of ancient Egypt.
Sexual magick and mysterious rites have always been practised; drugs and other substances have constantly been used to induce ecstasy, to produce visions and to facilitate traffic with the denizens of other worlds or planes of consciousness; but an initiated rationale of the process such as presented here has been rarely forthcoming.

The genuine magical tradition as revived by Adepts like Crowley is here related  to its ancient sources and brought into line with phases of contemporary occultism that are evolving a New Gnosis to supercede the sterile superstitions bred of an aeon-long misunderstanding of the old.
As a contribution to occult lore, “The Magical Revival” and its companion volumes have become standard source-books in their special field.

Paperback Edition: Sewnbound in sturdy cover.
Hardback Edition: Sewnbound in black cloth, printed end papers.

By Kenneth Grant. Originally released by Skoob Books Publishing in 1994, this enhanced edition of 1500 copies is freshly typeset in an octavo format of 298 pages. Sewnbound hardback, with a half-tone frontispiece, a sixteen-page section of colour and half-tone plates, illustrated endpapers and a full-colour dustjacket, this republication incorporates corrections noted subsequently in Kenneth Grant’s personal copy of the book. Many of the plates have been rephotographed, and some are printed in colour.

The republishing of the Typhonian Trilogies continues with the release in October 2015 of the seventh volume in the series, “Outer Gateways”, which opens the third and final trilogy.

The Typhonian Tradition discussed in this book matured and declined before even the monumental phase of the earliest civilizations. This is witnessed by fragments of magical and mystical lore once current in Egypt and the Far East. The Tradition lingered on and became corrupt with passing epochs and the gradual attrition of an ages-old lineage of Initiates. Harassment by warring factions seeking temporal power at the expense of intemporal space-transending Knowledge stifled the spark and fouled the springs of the ancient Wisdom. It reappeared fitfully over the centuries in obscure alchemical writings in the West, and in Oriental occult tantras, and traces of it proved sufficient to permit of its powerful resurgence, one of the most remarkable phenomena of modern times.

The earliest themes of Grant’s series of trilogies are here related, intensified and developed. The unearthly provenance of such disturbing messages as “The Necronomicon” is reaffirmed, leading to a cognate treatment of Crowley’s reception of “The Book of the Law” and a reinterpretation of that book’s implications in the light of the Typhonian Tradition. “E.T.” phenomena are regarded as an opportunity for man to integrate with consciousness the ancient stellar influences. The volume concludes with a haunting transmission “Wisdom of S’lba” received in New Isis Lodge under circumstances outside usually accepted magical procedures, and subsequently translated into terrestrial language.

The Life and Legend of London’s Lost Artist By Phil Baker. 344pp, PB, 50 b/w illus, 16pp colour

This is a newly expanded paperback edition which includes a brand new afterword by the author, eight more colour pages, and some minor revisions.

————

“What Phil Baker has accomplished here is little short of marvellous… a human study that neither confirms nor conclusively denies the extra-human properties attributed to its astounding and ambiguous subject… To my mind Phil Baker has established himself as among the very best contemporary biographers.” From the Foreword by Alan Moore.

London has harboured many curious characters, but few more curious than the artist and visionary Austin Osman Spare (1886-1956).

A controversial enfant terrible of the Edwardian art world, the young Spare was hailed as a genius and a new Aubrey Beardsley, while George Bernard Shaw reportedly said “Spare’s medicine is too strong for the average man.”

But Spare was never made for worldly success and he went underground, falling out of the gallery system to live in poverty and obscurity south of the river. Absorbed in occultism and sorcery, voyaging into inner dimensions and surrounding himself with cats and familiar spirits, he continued to produce extraordinary art while developing a magical philosophy of pleasure, obsession, and the subjective nature of reality.

Today Spare is both forgotten and famous, a cult figure whose modest life has been much mythologised since his death. This groundbreaking biographical study offers wide-ranging insights into Spare’s art, mind and world, reconnecting him with the art history that ignored him and exploring his parallel London; a bygone place of pub pianists, wealthy alchemists and monstrous owls.

This richly readable and illuminating biography takes us deep into the strange inner world that this most enigmatic of artists inhabited, shedding new light while allowing just a few shadowy corners to flourish unspoiled.

A Secret History of the Esoteric Underground by David Keenan

Newly expanded black and white paperback edition, featuring 60 pages of extra interviews and reflections from Furfur, a collection of bonus material published in a limited edition in 2016.

Paperback, 528 pages. 216mm x 156mm. 240 images in bw.

A newly expanded edition of David Keenan’s seminal secret history of the UK’s esoteric underground, England’s Hidden Reverse, which now includes a selection of interviews and reflections that initially appeared in the bonus zine, Furfur, which came with the special edition published in 2016.

Based on hundreds of hours of interviews with members of Coil, Nurse With Wound and Current 93 as well as contemporaries, friends and associates, EHR illuminates a shadowy English underground scene whose work accented peculiarities of Englishness through the links and affinities they forged with earlier generations of the island’s marginals and outsiders, such as playwright Joe Orton, writers like death decadent Eric, Count Stenbock, ecstatic mystic novelist Arthur Machen and occult figures like Austin Osman Spare and Aleister Crowley.

While functioning as an obsessively researched biography of the three interrelated groups EHR also works to track the trajectory of their influences, explicating a reverse current that runs counter to the mainstream.

Written over a period of six years and first published in 2003, the book flits between John Balance and Peter ‘Sleazy’ Christopherson of Coil’s original Threshold House in Chiswick and the old boys’ school they later moved to in Weston-super-Mare to Steven Stapleton of Nurse With Wound’s goat farm and visionary art environment in Cooloorta in Southern Ireland to the roof of a house in Muswell Hill where David Tibet of Current 93 receives a vision of Noddy crucified in the sky. From there it moves further back and faster; to eye witness accounts of early Whitehouse performances; to the formation of Throbbing Gristle and the birth of industrial music; to the last moments of the visionary painter Charles Sims; to Angus MacLise, ex-of the Velvet Underground, casting his poem Year as a work of elementary magic; to Shirley Collins, AE Housman and Denton Welch’s visions of England in eternity.

Conversations with Coil. Edited by Nick Soulsby

600pp, 148mm x 210mm, 40 bw images. Paperback

In this heavily illustrated compendium, the legendary British experimental band Coil tell their story in the present tense, as events unfold across their twenty-year history.

Between 1983 and 2004 the legendary British experimental band Coil established itself as a shape-shifting doyen of esoteric music whose influence has grown spectacularly in the years since its untimely end. With music that could be dark, queer, and difficult, but often retained a warped pop sensibility, Coil’s albums were multifaceted repositories of esoteric knowledge, lysergic wisdom and acerbic humor. In Everything Keeps Dissolving, core members John Balance and Peter Christopherson tell Coil’s story in the present tense, and from their personal perspectives.

Accompanied by their various collaborators, Coil describe the fertile eruption of ideas, inspirations, and stray tangents that informed their lyrical and musical visions—as well as those dead paths and castoff concepts that didn’t take root. Not only a worm’s eye view of Coil, these interviews provide insight into the late twentieth century’s evolving British cultural underground as channeled through two of its most astutely mercurial minds.

A milestone in Coil’s evolving posthumous history, Everything Keeps Dissolving contains a number of previously unseen drawings, photographs and other images by, and of, the band.

Genius of The Fern Loved Gulley by Amy Hale

304pp, 160mm x 240mm, Heavily illustrated in colour. Paperback.

After decades of neglect, the British Surrealist and occultist Ithell Colquhoun’s unique vision and hermetic life have generated enormous interest amongst historians and practitioners of art and magic. In this, the first in-depth biographical study of Colquhoun and her work, Amy Hale examines the magical and cultural confluences that shaped her imaginative life and artistic vision.

Rejecting the hectic social expectations and magical orthodoxies of London’s art and occult scenes, Colquhoun retreated to Cornwall, where, at the price of relative cultural obscurity, she pursued a life of profoundly dedicated spiritual and artistic enquiry. As a result, her visual and written works have only recently begun to receive the recognition they deserve as daring experiments in magical art, autobiography and esoteric feminism.

As the influential role of occult ideas in the history of art becomes ever clearer, Colquhoun’s work is long overdue a fresh consideration. ‘Genius of the Fern Loved Gully’ balances engaging biography with historical erudition and critical insight into her art and writing.

By Sara Hannant and Simon Costin

225 x 225 mm, 240pp. Over 120 images in colour & BW. Paperback.

One hundred objects, exuding magic and mystery, emerge from the darkness of Cornwall’s much-loved Museum of Witchcraft and Magic in this book of haunting photographs.

Artist and photographer Sara Hannant has captured the very essence of these carefully-selected artifacts, including wax dolls, wands, statues, daggers, pendants, robes and amulets. Each striking image tells its own vivid tale of belief and ceremonial practice.

Accompanying the photographs are informative texts from Sara Hannant and Museum director Simon Costin, as well as an illuminating introduction by the leading historian of British witchcraft and magic, Ronald Hutton.

Sara’s pictures are rites of evocation… a radically new and exciting approach to the work of representing the past to the present. ~ Ronald Hutton

“A feast for the eyes and mind of anyone fascinated by mankind’s long history of ritual and superstition, and how our relationship with and belief in occult practices has evolved over time” Arnolfini Bookshop

“A beautiful new book… satisfyingly square-shaped, full-color, and impeccably designed, making it a rather totemic object unto itself” Phantasmaphile

“Of Shadows is intriguing. The positioning of the subjects doesn’t detract from their mysterious nature and yet conveys a great deal of objective information. The captions are very informative and help to add to the experience of viewing these unique pieces.” Lens Culture

“Revealing many fascinating aspects of folklore and tradition, and what Sara calls ‘the power of ritual to connect with the changing seasons’” The Countryman

The London of Aleister Crowley By Phil Baker

Foreword by Timothy D'Arch Smith

304 pp., 5 x 8 in, 46 b&w illus. Paperback

A work that combines biography and pyschogeography to trace Aleister Crowley's life in London.

“I dreamed I was paying a visit to London,” Aleister Crowley wrote in Italy, continuing, “It was a vivid, long, coherent, detailed affair of several days, with so much incident that it would make a good-sized volume.” Crowley had a love-hate relationship with London, but the city was where he spent much of his adult life, and it was the capital of the culture that created him: Crowley was a post-decadent with deviant Victorian roots in the cultural ferment of the 1890s and the magical revival of the Golden Dawn.

Not a walking guide, although many routes could be pieced together from its pages, this is a biography by sites. A fusion of life-writing with psychogeography, steeped in London's social history from Victoria to the Blitz, it draws extensively on unpublished material and offers an exceptionally intimate picture of the Great Beast. We follow Crowley as he searches for prostitutes in Hyde Park and Pimlico, drinks absinthe and eats Chinese food in Soho, and find himself down on his luck in Paddington Green—and never quite losing sight of the illumination that drove him: “the abiding rapture,” he wrote in his diary, “which makes a 'bus in the street sound like an angel choir!”

From acclaimed esoteric scholar Peter Mark Adams—author of The Game of Saturn, Mystai, Hagia Sophia / Sanctum of Kronos, Two Esoteric Tarots (with Christophe Poncet), and The Power of the Healing Field—comes a landmark study that redefines our understanding of Western Europe's most enigmatic mystery cult.

Ritual & Epiphany in the Mysteries of Mithras – The Secret Cult of Saturn in Imperial Rome takes readers deep into the heart of the Mithraic mysteries, offering a profound exploration of the cult's ritual practices and transformative visionary experiences. Blending cutting-edge scholarship with first-hand accounts of initiation and contemporary ethnographies of ritual performance, Adams provides an unparalleled glimpse into this ancient esoteric tradition.

Approaching the material from an emic (insider's) perspective, the author examines the cult's hierarchical grade structure, ceremonial roles, and ritual mechanics—revealing how initiates invoked the serpent power and encountered the awe-inspiring epiphany of Saturn-Kronos, the sovereign time-deity.

Through a richly interdisciplinary lens—drawing on Orphic metaphysics, Greco-Roman ritual theory, art history, and comparative ethnographies of initiation—Adams vividly animates Mithraic iconography, frescoes, and reliefs as ritual grammar encoding the lived phenomenology of participation.

Richly illustrated and deeply insightful, this volume revives the Cult of Mithras as Western Europe's preeminent mystery tradition, offering readers both scholarly rigor and spiritual resonance.

In this highly acclaimed work Dr. Vincente establishes hitherto unexplored connections between the European lore of the Witches' Sabbath and the archaic fertility cult of the ram-headed Banebdjedet, a totemistic representation of Osiris in his netherworld aspect – Osiris as the Black Sun. It is the daemon of the depths, the Faceless God, who serves as the bridge between these two esoteric currents. This dark psychopomp, who reveals the mysteries of the Black Sun, was fictionalized by Lovecraft as Nyarlathotep. The Egyptians knew him as Anubis, and in European witch lore he is described as the black man of the Sabbath, the initiator of the witch cult. Thus the book has a triple focus – Lovecraftian, Egyptian and Sabbatic. It is not a question of extracting a complete occult system from Lovecraft's stories, or drawing exact correspondences between entities of his Mythos and gods and spirits of paganism. There is no system to be decoded. Instead there are traces, insinuations, echoes of a genuinely primal vision found in his nightmarish worlds.

Supporting his arguments with the strategic use of qabalistic methods, Dr. Vincente achieves a careful balance between esoteric hermeneutics and scholarly methodologies, so that the reader is always drawn back to the concrete realities of magical practice. A set of powerful rituals of initiation, sexual gnosis and sorcery will enable the discerning initiate to operate effectively within the sinister dimensions of this counter current.

Introduced by David Beth this work is indispensable for any serious student of diabolism and the Sabbatic Gnosis.

Theia Philosophia: A Manual of the Royal Arte by Jason Arthur Green is a Theurgic system of training focused principally on achieving Henosis, the unification with the divine. This practical manual offers insights and guidance for the soul’s potential attainment of the symbiosis between the mortal and immortal. The author expounds a Theurgic praxis via various paradigms and esoteric systems connected to the essence of Hermetic, Platonic, Kabbalistic, Vedantic and the multitudinous Theurgic and philosophical systems connected to Sophia Perennis (The Perennial Wisdom). Theia Philosophia equips metaphysicians and esotericists with tools and a foundation to elevate their Theurgic and metaphysical practices, enriching their existing traditions or magico-mystical systems. It also encourages Theurgic practitioners to transcend established esoteric models and create their unique Theurgic paradigm. The author has meticulously created this monograph over the course of nearly a decade, through dedicated practices, research, daring experimentation, and the profound insights derived from these pursuits.

In his groundbreaking work, Robert Allen restores the image to its rightful place at the heart of the Western esoteric tradition. He argues that the careful relation of image, vision and understanding holds the power to opening the portals to a magickal practice which is both initiatory and transformative. Imago investigates the root of the magical tradition in early Neoplatonism, especially their use of images as magical symbols of transformation and shows how these ideas permeate the practice of radical avant-garde theater artists like August Strindberg and Heiner Müller. Drawing on the work of occultists like Aleister Crowley and Austin Spare as well as poets and radical artists, Robert Allen discusses the awesome power of the images and develops a practical step-by-step guide to vision magick as a foundation for all esoteric practice. Divided into chapters which themselves constitute a journey into how the magickal imagination can be rehabilitated, IMAGO is intended to function as a very real initiation into the nature of the imaginative process itself.

The author: Robert H. Allen has been a practicing ceremonial magician for more than half a century; his life in magick began when he was 13 years old. In his late teens, he joined the Ordo Templi Orientis under the direction of Kenneth Grant, which is currently known as the Ordo Typhonis. He is also a senior member of the Temple of the Silver Star (TOTSS), a Golden Dawn patterned Thelemic Order, and an Instructor for the TOTSS academic track. In addition, Robert is an Initiate of the Jane Wolfe lineage of Aleister Crowley’s A.˙. A.˙.

On a more secular note, he holds a degree in fine art, and he is a former dancer, choreographer, physical theater artist, and director, working with significant choreographers and directors in the United States and Europe. His current focus is on teaching and education, having taught at major universities in the US, and he is a published author on performance technique and visionary art practice. Robert is a certified teacher in the Krishnamacharya Yoga tradition, as well as in the Michael Chekhov acting method. More recently, he has been integrating theater technique and magickal practice in a project called Performance Movement Magick. These workshops are ongoing and provide the practical foundation for his writing and pedagogy.

The Vodou Quantum Leap (Tribute Edition) by Reginald Crosley

384 pages, 165 x 235 mm, printed on 115gsm wood-free quality design paper, deep black Surbalin endpapers.
incl. 6 greyscale images of artwork by Peter Dyde, black and white photo of the late Dr. Crosley, courtesy of his family.

Cloth Hardcover Edition Bound in purple Brillianta® fine cloth, black embossing, lettering on spine, headbands, ribbon, limited to 522 copies only.

Dedicated to our late friend, the visionary Haitian-American Dr. Reginald Crosley, this book needs little introduction. Since its first publication, The Vodou Quantum Leap has gained iconic status as one of the most intriguing and visionary works elaborating the most hidden and shadowy dimensions of the Vodou Universe. At the core of his work, we find Crosley’s radical claim that operational Vodou, especially in the workings of the Secret Societies, is nothing short of applied Quantum and New Physics.

Writing from deep esoteric experience and understanding of Vodou and Afro-centric Gnosis, Crosley also draws on Western and Eastern mysticism, surrealism, shamanism and modern science to open strange doorways for the reader into Vodou as an experience of extraordinary Gnostic and occult possibilities and powers. Amongst other things, his work expands on the mysteries of the infamous voltigeurs, magical ‘leapers’ between the manifold dimensions of reality, investigates the machinations of the Red Sects such as the Bizango and Makaya and enters the forbidden zones of black magic, fetichism and spiritual pacts.

The Vodou Quantum Leap is a bold vision and enthrones Vodou in its rightful place as one of the great world religions and possibly the most powerful mystico-magical system in the world today.

This tribute edition of The Vodou Quantum Leap is a slightly revised and corrected reprint of Theion’s 2014 revised and expanded edition and remains the most complete edition of this seminal work.

The Vodou Quantum Leap features a foreword by David Beth and illustrations by Peter Dyde.

About the Author: Born in Haiti, Reginald Crosley was a member of the influential Haiti littéraire and deeply involved in Haitian Surrealism. He later moved to the United States and had a medical practice specialized in Internal Medicine and Nephrology. He is the author of various books on spirituality and of poetry. He passed away in June 2020.

Feared, bedeviled and vilified but also venerated, adored and embraced, Saturn and his shadowy powers have strongly influenced the spiritual and magical life of cultures and individuals for millennia. Concentrating especially on His antinomian and anti-cosmic character, The Cult of The Black Cube: A Saturnian Grimoire is a seminal study on the occult essence and esoteric significance of Saturn in theory and practice.

The Cult of the Black Cube: A Saturnian Grimoire is divided into three main sections:

Part I examines the ambivalent role of Saturn in various religious and magical traditions around the world focusing especially on His Islamic, Classical and Indian cults. Fleshing out the common traits underlying Saturn’s global manifestations, Dr. Moros argues for a perennial cult of Saturn expressed in various cultural guises.

Part II and III comprise the Grimoire of the Black Cube which provides a comprehensive armory of occult weaponry to initiate Saturnine contact and to establish an individual cultus of Saturn. Part II presents a thorough esoteric analysis of the Saturnine Cult and the nature of its initiatic path. Part III is devoted to the practical applications of Saturnine worship and magic.

Corrected and revised, this second edition also features a new foreword by Dr. Tomas Vincente, author of The Faceless God, and an elaborate essay by David Beth on the Saturnine deity entitled “Clavis Saturni: A Kosmic Heresy”.

David’s treatise is based on notes he had initially provided to Arthur Moros who had intended to compose a further chapter for his book detailing the Saturnian vibrations within the Kosmic ‘pandaemonic’ current – unfortunately, his premature death prevented the writing of this section. With encouragement from the Moros estate, David Beth decided to work these notes into an essay in order to make its Gnosis available to the esoteric community.

The author Dr. Moros (pseudonym) was a scholar of religions and a devoted initiate of Saturn for 30 years. Sadly he passed away in early 2017 under mysterious circumstances. This book is his esoteric legacy.

Hermetica I: The Corpus Hermeticum, Asclepius, and Nag Hammadi Hermetica Ordered as a Path of Initiation

The Definitive Edition with a revised Introduction, added Appendices, and Index.

By M. David Litwa, PhD.

Illustrations by José Gabriel Alegría Sabogal, MA.

Fount Ultd., 2026

The Hermetic corpus is a spiritual and intellectual treasure stemming from ancient Egyptian sages who could write and think in Greek. Since the Renaissance, this corpus has appeared in an order that doesn’t fit the path of spiritual initiation suggested by the corpus itself. This edition reorders the corpus—including the Latin Asclepius and the Nag Hammadi Hermetica—into four progressing parts: introductory tractates, general discourses, detailed discourses, and revelatory discourses. A focused commentary follows each tractate. The book is written for all lovers of the Hermetica, but in particular for those who are willing, in some sense, to join the way of immortality.

+ + +

This volume presents the Hermetic writings as a central and enduring current within Western spirituality, born from the encounter between Egyptian religious wisdom and Greek philosophical thought in late antiquity. Composed at a time when traditional cults and forms of knowledge were under threat, the Hermetica preserve a vision of spiritual rebirth, divine knowledge, and inner transformation that continued to shape later philosophical and Christian traditions, often without acknowledgment. These texts are not peripheral speculations but articulate a serious and integrated spiritual worldview aimed at awakening higher consciousness and participation in divine life.

Rather than treating the Hermetica as a loosely assembled anthology or merely as historical documents, this book approaches them as a corpus structured by initiation and spiritual formation. Guided by indications within the texts themselves, the tractates are arranged to reflect a movement from exhortation and preparation, through doctrinal grounding, toward revelatory experience. Reading, in this context, becomes a disciplined engagement—one that ancient readers understood as capable of effecting genuine inner change rather than serving purely intellectual ends.

The Hermetic path presented here resists easy categorization. It does not collapse into abstract philosophy, nor does it reduce spiritual experience to dogma or belief. Instead, it unfolds in stages, holding together cosmology, ethics, and contemplative practice, and culminating in rebirth and direct vision of the divine realms. Apparent tensions within the corpus—between world-affirmation and renunciation, or between unity and distinction—are shown to reflect different moments within a coherent process of spiritual transformation.

Although grounded in years of careful scholarship and translation, this book is not written for specialists alone. It speaks to readers who wish to understand the historical depth of the Hermetic tradition while remaining attentive to its spiritual demands. For practitioners and academics alike, it offers an invitation to encounter the Hermetica not only as texts to be analyzed, but as writings intended to shape perception, practice, and inner life.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: M. David Litwa, PhD.

Dr. Litwa's career began with a monograph on deification (becoming god) as seen through the lens of the Pauline writings (We Are Being Transformed, 2012). In 2013, he offered a general introduction to deification in Western culture from the Pharaohs to modern Transhumanists. Then in 2016, he focused on the politics and literature of self-deification (Desiring Divinity). He has twice engaged gospel literature as a witness to Jesus’s literary deification (Iesus Deus, 2014) and to a particular historiographical genre (How the Gospels Became History, 2019). A fascination with alternative Christian movements inspired him to edit and translate the anonymous Refutation of All Heresies (2016). After that came the annotated translation of important Hermetic testimonial and fragments (Hermetica II, 2018). Litwa has finished a project on angelification traditions in Hellenic and Christian literature (Posthuman Transformation, forthcoming 2021). He has published history of alternative Christian movements in the second-century CE (Found Christianities). A full book on one of these movements, the Carpocratians, came out in 2022. It contains the first ever fully commentary on "Secret Mark." Dr. Litwa's most popular book, The Evil Creator (2021), tells the secret history of how Christians like Marcion came to view the creator as evil. Late Revelations is a short, accessible argument for a late date of the final form of the Gospels and Acts. Hermetica I is a new translation of the Corpus Hermeticum based on a better edition of the Greek text.

She is known as the black underworldly crone and giantess of the black anti-cosmic runes and magic, who comes at midnight up from under the ground and walks between houses to visit the practitioners of the black arts (or fjölkunnigr, as they were called), to teach them about the black runes and anti-cosmic magic. She is known as first wife, or mistress of Loki. Her names are many, amongst which the most well-known ones are Gullveig, Heiðr, Aurboða, Angrboða and Hyrrokin. She was looked upon as an evil woman, "illr kona", and the mother of all trolls, "flagð", troll being the Old Norse term for malignant and bestial demons, viewed upon as a thurs-kin, which are often dwellers of the forests, mountains and the underworld.

The book explores Gullveig through Old Norse mythology, sagas, Witchcraft & Poetry, which also includes descriptions of related giants and underworldly locations connected to her, such as: Loki, Jørmungandr, Fenrir, Hel; Jøtunheimr, Helheimr, Niflheimr, and much more.

The Gullveigarbók gives the student a wide overview, explaining the darker side of Norse mythology as a whole, making it an important work for readers searching for knowledge concerning this before seldom explored aspect of Northern Spirituality.

The latter part of the Gullveigarbók book is called Fjølkyngi, witchcraft, and holds the esoteric aspects and praxis of the author's own witchcraft as connected to the Thursatru Tradition - Þursatrú siðr - and divulges aspects of the author's magical Gullveig workings. This part of the book also introduces students to how the Gullveig sigils, or bindrunes are to be employed.

“The Aghora Verses / Aghora Gita” is inspired by a vision of Haidakhan Babaji in a secluded valley near the sacred home of Shiva, Mount Kailas. The verses are a poetic expression of a Shaivite transmission received in this sanctified environment and are created to be used as a sadhana of meditative reading in the spirit of the Yogic practice of Svadhyaya and the Gnostic practice of Lectio Divina. Each chapter unveils a radiant expression of the radically Non-Dual perception of the Aghori and reveals the landscape of the inner atmosphere of the Atman.

Par Jake Stratton-Kent. (Hexen Press)

Le Grimorium Verum de Jake Stratton-Kent est une œuvre majeure de l'ésotérisme contemporain, considérée comme un pilier du renouveau magique occidental. Cette édition annotée et augmentée par le nécromancien et mage anglais marque une étape décisive dans la réhabilitation du Véritable Grimoire comme ouvrage central de la tradition goétique. Jake Stratton-Kent ne se contente pas de restituer le manuscrit originel, il propose une reconstruction critique fondée sur une étude comparative des versions françaises et italiennes, rigoureusement corrigée et enrichie de commentaires contextuels, d'appendices et de recherches issues d'une expérience inestimable de quarante années avec le texte.

le Grimorium Verum se présente comme un grimoire élémentaire et chthonien de conjuration goétique, fonctionnant au moyen d'un pacte et d'un recueil de sorts. Il expose de manière claire et concise comment développer une relation avec un ensemble d'esprits au moyen d'opérations magiques précises, tout en soulignant le rôle central de l’esprit intermédiaire Scirlin, que JSK compare au Saint Ange Gardien du système d’Abramelin. Le manuscrit fournit les temps propices, les outils et les opérations nécessaires pour s'initier à un système magique de conjurations goétiques hautement fonctionnel et pratique.

L’approche de Jake Stratton-Kent se démarque en ce qu’elle considère la goétie non comme une sous-catégorie déchue de la magie cérémonielle occidentale, mais comme une survivance d’un courant ancien, chthonien, enraciné dans la nécromancie des goètes, les cultes des morts et les pratiques magiques précivilisationnelles. En comparant le Grimorium Verum aux autres grimoires salomoniens de référence et en le mettant en relation avec les pratiques oraculaires des Papyrus Magiques, les traditions syncrétiques du Nouveau Monde et les survivances de la sorcellerie rurale européenne, Stratton-Kent permet une recontextualisation du grimoire dans un cadre plus vaste et ouvre la voie à une approche plus cohérente de la goétie authentique.

Pour la première fois traduite en français, l'édition de Jake Stratton-Kent contient de nombreux appendices et essais inédits de l'auteur comme la Prière pour le Succès et la Conjuration de Nébiros et constitue une ressource inestimable pour les praticiens de la magie opérative et les chercheurs en ésotérisme. Elle se fera une référence indispensable pour celui ou celle qui souhaite redécouvrir la magie des grimoires dans sa dimension historique, spirituelle et pratique.

Muses No More: Portraits of Occult Women is a meandering ghost train through the lives, work, politics and beliefs of both familiar and lesser known female occultists from the distant past to the 21st century. From the freedom fighting New Orleans Voudon Queen Marie Laveau to the witch-next-door personality of Sybil Leek, these biographical portraits bring light to women often sidelined in occult spaces and memory in favour of the (white, male) heavyweights such as Arthur E. Waite, Aleister Crowley and Gerald Gardner.
Readers will discover that there was much more to Pamela Colman Smith’s magical undertakings than her illustrations for the Rider Waite Smith tarot deck, and that Doreen Valiente, whilst valiantly fighting for the modernisation of Wicca, was an ardent follower of televised football.

Filled with fascinating historical trivia, there are deeper narratives at play in this compendium too - the struggle for women’s liberation, pleas for modernisation of religious movements, the reign of the patriarchy in many magical traditions, and the fight for civil rights.

Thoroughly well-researched and written with the flair of an impassioned queer, feminist occultist, Muses No More tells the centuries-spanning stories of women who threw off their aprons in favour of the search for greater esoteric knowledge.

The book concludes with tried and tested personal practices and rituals, respectfully designed in honour of these wondrous women, so that we might channel their power and knowledge and pursue the mysteries of the vast unknown.

Through many systems of spirituality and religion, there have been many paths created by man seeking something outside of themselves that is higher than themselves. This led to worshiping gods and ideologies that have humans giving away their power and energy. Spirituality needs a psychological approach that blends both the eastern and western systems into a unified practice of Self Realization. Mending meditation and occult practice together. This process should bring self-awareness at a soul level and understand the true power you possess.

Enlightenment is the grand goal of spirituality. It is a great plan for humans to wake up to their true selves at a soul level and connect to who they really are. This realization is not just enough, knowing yourself at such a deep level comes with a sense of responsibility to become better. Aligning yourself to the higher aspects of yourself and raising your thoughts, emotions, and physical body to higher states. In many practices, there is no guide on how to do this but rather watered-down ideas and practices.

If you could know yourself at the deepest levels, would you?

Asaya Ka Luxa is a treatise on a cosmological viewpoint of the self and how to obtain a connection to one’s oversoul and Kryst conscious levels of one’s own soul personality. Based on the author's personal lifetime(s) of research and spiritual practice, this practice blends a Tibetan meditation style practice with western occult philosophies. This connection to these practices is based on the author’s research and spiritual inner plane connection to what is called “The Council of Light”.

Written in 3 Parts it is broken into:

Gnosis - 
This goes in depth to reflect on expanded concepts of the self and your relationship to what people would call “god”. A cosmological explanation expounds on creation, the Angelic Hierarchy, the Energy Body levels, the “physical” Energy Centers, and more. This gives a large understanding of the self and how the mind creates reality on many levels and forms.  

Practical application of occult meditation - 
Through various breathing exercises and visualizations, the reader is shown how to utilize various techniques on how to become more aware of themselves on an energetic level and create deep releases to past attachments. Strong “psychic” protections are explained and a daily ritual is given to set the reader onto a path of self-realization. 

Ritual practice for soul ascension - 
Using ceremonial style ritual the reader learns how to apply advanced visualizations and meditations on how to connect to the lower aspects of yourself and the higher aspects of yourself, aiding one to shine a light on the dark side of themselves and better understand themselves on an emotional and psychological level. This, the treatise says, is how to connect to various levels of frequency and as you do this you take on traits of those levels.

Asaya Ka Luxa is the first writing of many by the author, which if utilized will aid someone on their spiritual path no matter what religion one may be a part of. A color glossary and dream dictionary are included to help aid in the work. This is not just a book, but rather a Handbook and Workbook to be utilized again and again.

A mystery can be understood only if you already comprehend it...

This special deluxe edition is limited to just 71 copies. Unlike the standard version, it includes, among other data, an exclusive Addendum by Master Leo, which will undoubtedly turn out to be a great surprise for everyone. Revealed are new secrets of the LAM mystery, including sex magick and the Tetragrammaton formula. This edition also features a contribution by Michael Staley, whose article was published in 1994.

Additionally, this edition includes a stunning 2 oz silver medallion (optional) featuring Lam made in Germany.

This book is dedicated to the Mystery of LAM—an alien-like entity whose mysterious portrait was drawn about a hundred years ago by the greatest magician and occultist, Aleister Crowley.

Within this captivating collection of essays and individual experiences working with Lam, we embark on a journey to decipher the enigmatic meaning behind the portrait that proved to be a medium for a variety of occult experiences.

Various occultists from around the world contributed gems from their inner treasury of Gnosis to this book.

This book is an invitation to explore the crossroads of mysticism, art, and the human psyche. Through insightful reflection, all the authors presented here strive to unravel the layers of meaning embedded in this mesmerizing portrait, shedding light on the profound relationship between the portrait itself and the enigma it sought to capture. As we embark on this journey, we embrace the shadows and the light, just as Crowley did, in our quest to comprehend the ineffable.

We called this book Lam the Way because the word “way” is crucial for understanding the mystery of Lam. Lam is not a static mystery; it’s dynamic. Lam is the way, the path, and one has to move or walk down the path.

This book could successfully be called "The LAM Grimmoire" because, in essence, it is that. Without a doubt, it will go down in the history of occultism and will become a guide for further research, experimentation, and work in this area for subsequent generations of lamanauts.

Desert Meditations: Gnostic Cartography (A Handbook of Agni Yoga) outlines the eclectic transmissions and revelations born from a lifetime of esoteric exploration within both Eastern and Western initiatic atmospheres.

Michael Cashmore is one of the most significant and celebrated musicians in the England’s Hidden Reverse milieu. He is probably best known for his work with Current 93 although his 1994 album Beauty Reaps the Blood of Solitude is regarded by many as the high point of the neofolk genre. In 2017 he formed The Hidden Throne 434 and began exploring some of the ideas now codified in his new book.

Transformation Through Love is a theory and praxis of instinctive Mysticism in the form of poetic symbolism, speculative metaphysics and biographical vignettes. These insights into life and Mysticism weave together a web of interconnecting truths and speculations, and provide a meditative guidebook for positivity without expectation, and compassion.

"I am communicating with ghosts right now, they are conducting my music, they dictate where I must place my fingers upon keys to make melodies to reach hearts, to create frequencies that alter consciousness and beats to make people move. This is an act of pure Love."

Celebrating the magick of the natural realm, Volume IV of The Library of Esoterica, delves into the symbolism, ceremony, and our ritual relationships with the botanical world. A visual journey through our interdependent evolution with nature, Plant Magick celebrates botanicals as creative muse – from ancient Greek sculptures to Renaissance paintings to visionary art inspired by psychoactive plants, cacti, and mushrooms.Our myths, beliefs, and shared stories are continually reflected in nature; purity represented by the white lily or spiritual awakening by the bloom of the lotus. Our joys and laments are mirrored in the cycle of the seasons, in the seed birthing sprout, or in the dead leaf falling softly from winter branches. Plants, trees, and flowers as signifiers of transition are also deeply embedded within rites of passage rituals across global cultures. Rose petals strewn along the wedding aisle mark the evolution into womanhood and marriage. A wreath of lilies stands sentinel over an open grave. A lover’s bouquet awaits on the doorstep. The wooden May Day pole is circled by girls wearing crowns of woven daisies, celebrating the coming of spring. Birth, unions, and burials – cycles of joyful celebration and deep grieving, all are marked symbolically with herbs, flowers or branches of a tree – the integration of nature into ceremony our method of signifying catharsis.Since time immemorial, plants have also served as potent symbols within the religions of the world; Buddha attaining enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree, Eve plucking the Apple of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden. From root to vibrant blossom, Plant Magick explores the fertile, interconnected history between plants and people, the multitude of ways in which we embrace plants in spiritual ceremony, as healing medicine, as creative muse and as gateways into deeper explorations of consciousness.

A spellbinding journey through the global history of witchcraft, the third volume in The Library of Esoterica follows this magickal tradition from its ancient roots to its modern incarnations. Through more than 400 artworks, and revelatory essays and interviews with modern practitioners, Witchcraft chronicles a cathartic evolution, from the craft’s emergence in ancient goddess worship to the embrace by today’s diverse witch community.

Season of the Witch - A bewitching history of a magickal practice

Initiating readers in the fascinating and complex history of witchcraft, from the goddess mythologies of ancient cultures to the contemporary embrace of the craft by modern artists and activists, this expansive tome conjures up a breathtaking overview of an age-old tradition. Rooted in legend, folklore, and myth, the archetype of the witch has evolved from the tales of Odysseus and Circe, the Celtic seductress Cerridwen, and the myth of Hecate, fierce ruler of the moonlit night. In Witchcraft we survey her many incarnations since, as she shape-shifts through the centuries, alternately transforming into mother, nymph, and crone—seductress and destroyer.

Edited by Jessica Hundley, and co-edited by author, scholar, and practitioner Pam Grossman, this enthralling visual chronicle is the first of its kind, a deep dive into the complex symbologies behind witchcraft traditions, as explored through the history of art itself. The witch has played muse to great artists throughout time, from the dark seductions of Francisco José de Goya and Albrecht Dürer to the elegant paean to the magickal feminine as re-imagined by the Surrealist circle of Remedios Varo, Leonora Carrington, and Leonor Fini. The witch has spellbound through folktales and dramatic literature as well, from the poison apples of The Brothers Grimm, to the Weird Sisters gathered at their black cauldron in Shakespeare’s Macbeth, to L. Frank Baum’s iconic Wicked Witch of the West, cackling over the fate of Dorothy.

Throughout this entrancing visual voyage, we’ll also bear witness to the witch as she endures persecution and evolves into empowerment, a contemporary symbol of bold defiance and potent nonconformity. Featuring enlightening essays by modern practitioners like Kristen J. Sollée and Judika Illes, as well interviews with authors and scholars such as Madeline Miller and Juliet Diaz, Witchcraft includes a vast range of cultural traditions that embrace magick as spiritual exploration and creative catharsis.

Trace the hidden history of Tarot in the first volume from TASCHEN’s Library of Esoterica, a series documenting the creative ways we strive to connect to the divine. Artfully arranged according to the sequencing of the Major and Minor Arcana, this visual compendium gathers more than 500 cards and works of original art from around the world in the ultimate exploration of a centuries-old art form.

Divine Decks - A visual history of Tarot

To explore the Tarot is to explore ourselves, to be reminded of the universality of our longing for meaning, for purpose and for a connection to the divine. This 600-year-old tradition reflects not only a history of seekers, but our journey of artistic expression and the ways we communicate our collective human story.

For many in the West, Tarot exists in the shadow place of our cultural consciousness, a metaphysical tradition assigned to the dusty glass cabinets of the arcane. Its history, long and obscure, has been passed down through secret writing, oral tradition, and the scholarly tomes of philosophers and sages. Hundreds of years and hundreds of creative hands—mystics and artists often working in collaboration—have transformed what was essentially a parlor game into a source of divination and system of self-exploration, as each new generation has sought to evolve the form and reinterpret the medium.

Author Jessica Hundley traces this fascinating history in Tarot, the debut volume in TASCHEN’s Library of Esoterica series. The book explores the symbolic meaning behind more than 500 cards and works of original art, two thirds of which have never been published outside of the decks themselves. It's the first ever visual compendium of its kind, spanning from Medieval to modern, and artfully arranged according to the sequencing of the 78 cards of the Major and Minor Arcana. It explores the powerful influence of Tarot as muse to artists like Salvador Dalí and Niki de Saint Phalle and includes the decks of nearly 100 diverse contemporary artists from around the world, all of whom have embraced the medium for its capacity to push cultural identity forward. Rounding out the volume are excerpts from thinkers such as Éliphas Lévi, Carl Jung, and Joseph Campbell; a foreword by artist Penny Slinger; a guide to reading the cards by Johannes Fiebig; and an essay on oracle decks by Marcella Kroll.

Looking to the sky, the second volume in TASCHEN’s Library of Esoterica series delves into the vibrant visual history of Western astrology. From its birth as astronomy’s sister science, to our current Age of Aquarius, the story of this ancient practice is told through more than 400 images—from Egyptian temples to contemporary art—sequenced to mirror the spin of the planets and the wheel of the zodiac.

A Date with Destiny - The art of astrology, from ancient science to modern-day practice

From the beginning of human history, individuals across cultures and belief systems have looked to the sky for meaning. The movement of celestial bodies and their relation to our human lives has been the central tenant of astrology for thousands of years. The practice has both inspired reverence and worship, and deepened our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

While modern-day horoscopes may be the most familiar form of astrological knowledge, their lineage reaches back to ancient Mesopotamia. As author Andrea Richards recounts in Astrology, the second volume in TASCHEN’s Library of Esoterica series, astronomy and astrology were once sister sciences: the King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid at Giza was built to align with constellations, Persian scholars oversaw some of the first observatories, and even Galileo cast horoscopes for the Medicis. But with the Enlightenment and the birth of exact science, the practice moved to places where mystery was still permitted, inspiring literature, art, and psychology, and influenced artists and thinkers such as Goethe, Byron, and Blake. Later movements like the Theosophists and the New Agers, would thrust the practice into the mainstream.

Edited by Jessica Hundley, this vibrant visual history of Western astrology is the first ever compendium of its kind, exploring the symbolic meaning behind more than 400 images, from Egyptian temples and illuminated manuscripts to contemporary art from across the globe. Works by artists from Alphonese Mucha and Hilma af Klint to Arpita Singh and Manzel Bowman are sequenced to mirror the spin of the planets and the wheel of the zodiac. With a foreword by legendary astrologer Susan Miller and wisdom from new interviews with astrologers like Robert Hand, Jessica Lanyadoo, and Mecca Woods, Astrology celebrates the stars and their mysterious influence on our everyday lives.

Conjure Codex V is dedicated to Jake Stratton-Kent, without whose vision this series would not exist.

This Conjure Codex brings to a close the first volume of the series; it was never our intention to theme the issues by colour, but that is what happened and so it is fitting that our final number is the black of moonless midnight. Jake Stratton-Kent was not only the driving force behind the Conjure Codex, but he has also been a pioneer in changing our perception of what used to be known as black magic—the magic of spirit conjuration, of speaking to the dead, of pact-forming and offering, of demons. His work with the True Grimoire and his seminal Geosophia: The Argo of Magic forever altered the landscape of contemporary goetic practice. With Jake at the helm, Conjure Codex began in 2011 as a means of facing and overcoming misconceptions surrounding spirit practice, and has since fulfilled its brief of breaking new ground in presenting inter-related material from a range of traditions. Conjure Codex V showcases that new ground with essays by some of the leading scholars and practitioners working today. It is our great privilege to bring to you this black issue, and we thank all of you for carrying the work forward.

In Trollrún: A Discourse on Trolldom and Runes in the Northern Tradition Nicholaj de Mattos Frisvold opens the door to landscapes little known outside of Scandinavia. These landscapes are populated by mythical beings and land spirits which offer a quite different approach to the Northern Tradition than what is usual. Here the Aesir have taken a backseat in favour of discussions on the wider tapestry of Northern wisdom, such as trolldom, seidr and the legacy left by the Black Books of magic under the larger theme of ‘What the Trolls told’, comprising the first part of TROLLRÚN. This is followed by a presentation of the Elder runes, runology, and rune magic, all rooted in Scandinavian ideas of the use of runes and their magic. TROLLRÚN views this landscape through the eyes of the cunning arts, where the ice, the frost, the midnight sun, and the majestic mountains and fjords become the orchestra of TROLLRÚN’s wisdom, drenched in the powerful atmosphere of the magical north.

P-Orridge & Abrahamsson

322 pages, 6 x 9" paperback, illustrated with 50 photographic portraits.

Sacred Intent gathers conversations between artist Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (1950-2020) and longtime friend and collaborator, the Swedish author Carl Abrahamsson. From the first 1986 fanzine interview about current projects, over philosophical insights, magical workings, international travels, art theory and gender revolutions, to 2019’s thoughts on life and death in the the shadow of battling leukaemia, Sacred Intent is a unique journey in which the art of conversation blooms.

With (in)famous projects like C.O.U.M. Transmissions, Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV, Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth (TOPY) and Pandrogeny, Breyer P-Orridge has consistently thwarted preconceived ideas and transformed disciplines such as performance art, music, collage, poetry and social criticism; always cutting up the building blocks to dismantle control structures and authority. But underneath the socially conscious and pathologically rebellious spirit, there has always been a devout respect for a holistic, spiritual, magical worldview – one of “sacred intent.”

Sacred Intent is a must read for anyone interested in contemporary art, deconstructed identity, gender evolution, and magical philosophy. The book not only celebrates an intimate friendship, but also the work and ideas of an artist who never ceased to amaze and provoke. Also included are photographic portraits of Breyer P-Orridge taken by Carl Abrahamsson, transcripts of key lectures, and an interview with partner Jacqueline “Lady Jaye” Breyer P-Orridge from 2004. This expanded edition also contains material written by Abrahamsson after Breyer P-Orridge’s death in March, 2020.
