Void Sorcery and the Dissolution of Self (Deluxe edition) by Peter Hamilton Giles
Description
Deluxe Edition – 2 colour case, gold foil block, slipcased, Limited to 50 copies.
The thinking behind wanting to explore this particular title came from the realisation that all magic is fundamentally obscured by physical presence, though it must also be said this is just one way of looking at the relationship. Another might say the invisible domain retains this state because we have been irretrievably removed from having the capacity to interact with the immanency of the beyond.
While a further explanation for this sense of separation proposes negative existence encapsulates Other’s entirety and therefore exceeds attempts to comprehend, with the result the invisible assumes the mask of unapproachability and distortion. These are just some of the difficulties we may encounter when interrogating the conditions by which to make the occult conducive.
Void Sorcery and the Dissolution of the Self delves into this nightside conundrum, and in doing so proposes that a sorcerous nexus of negation is part of a wider formative praxis for encountering alterity.

Out of print first hardback edition, limited to 350 copies only. Published by Kamuret Press 2021.
Condition: Fine, unread copy. Extremely minor crease to top right dustwrapper, otherwise completely pristine.
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’.
