A.E. Waite: Magician of Many Parts by R.A. Gilbert

Sword of Song by Aleister Crowley

£245.00

Out of print hardback edition, limited to 350 copies only.

Unread in very good condition, wrapped in protective cellophane.

Edited, annotated and introduced by Richard Kaczynski, this edition far surpasses that found in the Collected Works: red and black ink has been employed to capture the feel of the 1904 edition; a 50 page introduction by Crowley’s foremost biographer introduces the reader to the many themes to be found throughout the book; finally, copious end-notes further elucidate concepts and ideas in need of clarification.

From the introduction:

‘The Sword of Song is arguably the greatest story never told. It is a book of firsts: his first manifesto, his first talismanic book, his first mystical essays, his first nod to sexual mysteries, and an enticing preview of what was to come in The Book of the Law, the spirit-writing that would form the cornerstone of his philosophy’.

The True Grimoire (deluxe edition) by Jake Stratton-Kent

£595.00

'Fine edition' Limited to 72 copies

Handbound in full shrunken grain goatskin in deep bronze green, bevelled edges, all edges gilt, marbled endpapers, and custom slipcase. Letterpress print of The Prayer of the Salamanders.

The first volume of Jake Stratton-Kent’s Encyclopaedia Goetica is a reconstruction of the Grimorium Verum from the corrupted Italian and French versions of the grimoire. The True Grimoire comprises a coherent and eminently workable system of goetic magic, with extensive commentary and notes by a practicing necromancer.

The second edition appears thirteen years after the True Grimoire was first published, in which time it has become a critical and foundational work of the current magical revival. As Dr Alexander Cummins observes in his Foreword, the True Grimoire ‘spearheaded a particular renaissance in grimoire studies towards more informed historical analysis and more engaged mythopoetic ritual praxis, all the while centring the realities of hands-on cunning.’ 

In his introduction and notes to the grimoire, Stratton-Kent elucidates the importance of this concise and comprehensive text to magicians and students of magic alike:

‘The grimoire deals with significant themes that other, often larger, texts have lost, omitted or obscured. […] It enables the persistent seeker to see, essentially, what many have failed to see, that underlying goetic magic is a hidden tradition of great depth and significance. It possesses a traditional methodology that confronts and deals directly with the same primal realities faced by our most remote ancestors; in which all later magic and religion had their original impetus, but which in the West is primarily preserved in goetic magic alone.’

We are given insights across the grimoire tradition into allied texts such as the Grand Grimoire and Red Dragon, the Key of Solomon, the Lemegeton, Abramelin, Honorius and the Black Pullet. This is a treasure trove for the student of magic. Stratton-Kent reveals a grimoire tradition with roots in the Graeco-Egyptian magical papyri and the necromancy of the goês.

The True Grimoire is an elemental and chthonic grimoire of conjuration, pact-making and spell-working. It clearly and concisely explains how to contact and build a relationship with the spirits, and the primary role of the intermediary spirit, whom JSK characterises as ‘akin in a real sense to the Holy Guardian Angel in the Abramelin system.’ The text provides the timing, tools and conjurations for what is an attainable and practical system of magic. 

The new edition is augmented by two previously published and out of print essays by the author: ‘ The Spell for Success’ gives a comprehensive analysis of a key part of the Grimorium Verum ritual, which it shares  with a number of other Solomonic works, but which originates conceptually in pre-Solomonic magic; and ‘The Conjuration of Nebiros,’ which details a complete conjuration from the author’s personal work, illustrating the entire process and contextualising it. 

The book has been redesigned and typeset by Alkistis Dimech, with necromantic emblems by Artem Grigoryev. In addition, the hardback and fine edition are issued with a letterpress print of The Prayer of the Salamanders.

The Devil in the 19th Century (Deluxe edition) by Léo Taxil

£295.00

Palladium Edition, First Printing, Limited to 200 copies.

Printed on Mohawk Superfine 118gsm. Sewn binding with decorative head & tail bands and ribbon marker. Quarter-bound in cloth, foil stamping on spine.

Comes with a cloth-bound presentation slipcase embossed with the Sigil of Lucifer.

130 years ago a French journalist convinced the Vatican that a secret Luciferian cult, hidden at the heart of Freemasonry, was plotting the birth of the Antichrist and the destruction of the Catholic Church. 

These dastardly Masons took their marching orders from Satan himself—who appeared in the flesh to his Antipope Albert Pike, every Friday at three o’clock in the afternoon, in Charleston South Carolina.  

This journalist’s name was Léo Taxil. It was the hoax of the century.

Secretly written by Taxil, Le Diable au XIXème Siècle is the purported witness account of the mysterious “Doctor Bataille.” Part travel journal and part investigative report, filled with satanic schemes and a rich cast of shady characters, it is a thrilling, lurid, and sensationalist read.

There has never been an English translation… until now.
