Magick & Occult
Ars Goetia by Paul Summers Young (trans)
£42.99
The Lemegeton - The Little Key of Solomon - is the name of a family of seventeenth and eighteenth-century manuscripts inspired by Johannes Weyer's Pseudomonarchia on the one hand, and Reginald Scot's Discoverie of Witchcraft on the other, drawing upon Agrippa and Peter of Abano along the way. Some of these texts were compiled into the book we now know so well by Mathers and Crowley, the basis for magical thought and practice around the world.
The Black Letter Press series will draw upon various Early Modern sources and related texts, not to establish a definitive text - there is just no such thing - but to explore it as a canon of magical literature made by a subculture relating to the religious radicalism and controversy of the time, and the 'Hermetic Enlightenment'.
This first volume pulls together a number of versions of the Ars Goetia, with a variety of extracts from source texts that ground the canon in their time and place, and explore the different ways people have interacted with the concepts and symbols, prior to the Occult Revival of the nineteenth century and the text's codification in its first modern published edition.
All the illustrations, seals, and tables of our edition will be restored and carefully reproduced.
Subsequent volumes will explore the Ars Theurgia, Ars Paulina, Ars Almadel and Ars Notoria.
Second edition hardback.

Sword of Song by Aleister Crowley
out of stock - £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’.
