Solomonic Grimoires ▲

Much has been said about King Solomon and his biblical standing is so great as a man of wisdom that is was always believed that God must have given him powers above all others to appear so wise. Over the centuries, this image of Solomon as a magician, able to control the world around him has given rise to books of magic claiming to be the true transcription of his magical formulae.

• The Goetia of Dr Rudd The Angels & Demons of Liber Malorum Spirituum seu Goetia Lemegeton Clavicula Salomonis with a study of the techniques of evocation in the context of the angel magic tradition of the seventeenth century (445 pages) @500 This manuscript was owned by Dr Thomas Rudd, a practicing scholar-magician of the early seventeenth century. There are many editions of the Goetia, of which the most definitive is that of Joseph Peterson, but here we are interested in how the Goetia was actually used by practising magicians in the 16th and 17th century, before the knowledge of practical magic faded into obscurity.
  
  Many practical techniques used in the past have since been forgotten. The authors restore these using Dr. Rudd's manuscript. For example, to evoke the 72 demons listed here without the ability to bind them would be foolhardy indeed. It was well known in times past that invocatio and ligatio, or binding, was a key part of evocation, but in the modern editions of the Goetia this key technique is expressed in just one word "Shemhamphorashâ", and its use is not explained.
  
  This volume explains how the 72 angels of the Shemhamphorash are used to bind the spirits, and the correct procedure for safely invoking them using dual seals incorporating the necessary controlling Shem angel, whose name is also engraved on the breastplate and Brass Vessel.

• Asaph Ben Berechiah - Grand Key of Solomon the King: Ancient Handbook For Angel Evocation and Djinn Summoning (210 pages) @500 Important: Be aware that it this title is different from the Lesser and Greater Key of Solomon.
  The enchanting tales of 1001 Arabian Nights and the mysterious magical societies of the Moors share a legendary figure. He is no other than Asaph Ben Berechiah, the Vizier of King Solomon himself. According to Islamic tradition, this Arabian Merlin bested a djinn in a magical contest, teleporting Queen Sheeba’s throne in the blink of an eye, using his knowledge of the Great Name. Through the ages masters of the forbidden art of djinn evocation have shared with their disciples in secrecy an extensive oral tradition of rituals, incantations, and magical implements belonging to Asaph Ben Berechiah. Fragments of these arcane mysteries could be found in the writing of master occultists from the Middle Ages, the likes of Ahmed al-Buni. Few and far between, many have treasured what little fragments of this oral tradition could be found. There were also whispers of a grimoire compiled by an anonymous Arabian wizard brimming with secrets of the magic of Asaph Ben Berechiah. Known only as Ajnas, its reputation grew, but few possessed it. It has resurfaced in recent years and remains one of the most popular guides to angelic and djinn evocation in the land of the Arabian nights.

• The Greater Key of Solomon Part 1 (60 pages) Concerning the ceremonies and operations of the magickal art.

• The Greater Key of Solomon Part 2 (48 pages) The Pentacles or Medals to be used in the magickal art, and the uses for which they are effective.

• The Greater Key of Solomon Part 3 (21 pages) Concerning the proper behavior of the Mage and his assistants, and the tools and materials of the magickal art.

• The Lesser Key of Solomon (Legemeton I - Goetia) (50 pages) Evocation of 72 demons associated with the Shemhamphorash, and (in pairs) with the decanates of the zodiac.
  

• The Lesser Key of Solomon (Legemeton II - Teurgia - Goetia) (52 pages) The conjuration of 32 Aerial Spirits and their servants, partly good and partly evil, who govern the points of the compass.

• The Lesser Key of Solomon (Lemegeton III - Ars Paulina) (23 pages) Part I: A system for invoking the Angels of the Hours of the Day and Night, with an interesting astrological twist. Part II: A system for invoking the "guardian angel" ruling the zodiac degree under which the user is born.

• The Lesser Key of Solomon (Lemegeton IV - Ars Almadel) (9 pages) Evocation of the Angels of the four "Altitudes", who rule the equinoctial and solstice points, the seasons, and the signs of the zodiac.

• The Lesser Key of Solomon (Lemegeton V - Ars Nova) (8 pages) A rather peculiar small book of prayers and orations. More an appendix to the Goetia than a book in its own right.

• Ars Notoria (54 pages) The Notory Art of Solomon. A dense and difficult document, but one which had a profound influence on John Dee and other Renaissance mages. Describes a system for attaining to knowledge and skill in the Liberal and Mechanical Arts through prayers and special invocations in "barbarous tongues".

• Testament of Solomon (19 pages) One of the oldest magical texts attributed to King Solomon, dating First to Third Century A.D. Includes a catalog of demons summoned by King Solomon, and how they can be countered by invoking angels and other magical techniques.

• Grimoire of Armadel (66 pages) The Grimoire of Armadel is a do-it-yourself text book of Ceremonial magick. It has been translated from an ancient manuscript kept at the Bibliotheque d'Arsenal in Paris, and is similar to the famous Key of Solomon and Cornelius Agrippa's Occult Philosophy. The Armadel appears to have been circulated only in manuscript form.

• The Sworn Book of Honorius (199 pages)

• The Study of Solomonic Magic in English by Don Karr (22 pages)

• Eliphas Levi - The Keys of Solomon (79 pages)

• The Book of Ceremonial Magic (266 pages) The Secret Tradition in Goetia, including the rites and mysteries of Goetic therugy, sorcery and infernal necromancy. Antiquity of Magical Rituals; Rituals of Transcendental Magic; Composite Rituals; Key of Solomon; Lesser Key of Solomon; Rituals of Black Magic; Complete Grimoire; Preparation of the Operator; Initial Rites and Ceremonies; Descending Hierarchy; Mysteries of Goetic Theurgy; Mystery of the Sanctum Regnum; Method of Honorius. First published in 1911, Arthur Edward Waite's The Book of Ceremonial Magic is well-known for being a rather enigmatic text. The first hald of the book offers an analytical and critical account of many magical rituals. The second can be considered an illustrated grimoire. Contemporary occultists may find Waite's language and style at times archaic, but perception and persistence will show that this tome is a most useful reference.
  

• Trident - Grimoirium Verum (86 pages) Grimoirium Verum is a work of Black Magick. Included in this volume is a gallery of illustrations from the classic editions of this rare work. The magical sigils have been digitally restored and are presented along with the originals as given in the manuscript. This edition of Grimoirium Verum is unique in its completeness, verifiable authenticity and never-before published material. Lucifer, Beelzebub and Ashtaroth as well as their servitors & sigils are all fully represented in this rare tome of Demonology. The Ritual Tools and their making remains in classical detail. Preparatory instructions, the Offices of each Demon and the methods of evoking them to visible appearance are described. An appendix, The Book of the Black Serpent, has been added to this edition. Previously unpublished, it supplements the Demonology in Grimoirium Verum in addition to making a rare tract on Angelology available. Grimoirium Verum is, in fact, nothing less than a magician's handbook, containing in small compass the entire rites of preparation, identification of spirits, conjuration and the alleged achievement of the operator's every desire. This book, by traditional definition belongs to black magick, insofar as it tells the operator how to conjure what it admits are demons. In the present state of magical knowledge we would be equally at libertyÜand even more justifiedÜin saying that for all we know the Grimoirium Verum is more original than the Key of Solomon; or that it is one of original books of the Library of Hermes, or even the magical libraries of the Babylonians.
  

• Lon Milo DuQuette - Illustrated Goetia: Sexual Evocation (119 pages) @500 synopsis "Goetia [refers to] all the operations of that Magick which deals with gross, malignant or unenlightened forces." Goetia is sometimes thought of as a wild card, something that can get out of control, something which expresses the operator's lower desires to control others and improve his own personal life. And, in fact, this potential loss of control, this danger, the desire for self improvement and great power is exactly what attracts many people to Goetia while horrifying and repelling others. Crowley's Goetia is brought to life with vivid illustrations of the demons. Commentary by DuQuette and Hyatt bring the ancient arts into the modern day.

• Carroll "Poke" Runyon - Book of Solomon's Magick (243 pages) @500 This book presents unique and effective practical methods for invoking angels into a crystal ball and evoking spirits to visible appearance in a dark mirror. It is the companion book to "The Magick of Solomon" video produced by the same author. The techniques taught in this system are hypnotic and subjective. No special psychic talents are required to master this system. The author guides the reader step-by-step to proficiency in the ancient art of Magick.
  

• Poke Runyon - The Magick of Solomon (521MB zipped movie file) @500 Companion to the above book. An 80 minutes video documentary written and narrated by anthropologist and ceremonial magician, Carroll "Poke" Runyon, Magister of America's oldest continually operating Magical Lodge, the Ordo Templi Astartes (O.T.A.). The first part of the video offers a history of Western Magick, illustrated with graphics and displays, setting forth the author's theory, based on his own research and experiments, that visions of spirits obtained by magicians in medieval times were subjective and hypnotic rather than hysterical hallucinations. Runyon holds that the practical technique for achieving this was the visual distortion which occurs when a person stares at his or her reflection in a dark mirror. This technique is demonstrated and visions are simulated. The relationship of the "72 Rebellious Spirits" contained in King Solomon's legendary "Brass Vessel" to the Holy Angels who control them is explained and a hypnotic method for invoking these Angels into a Crystal Ball is demonstrated. According to the narrator, these two systems should be integrated for a proper spiritual balance. The video climaxes with the presentation of a complete Goetia Evocation Operation, in full ceremonial regalia, summoning the spirit Astaroth (actually the Canaanite Goddess, Astarte) to visual appearance in the dark mirror on the Triangle of Art.
  

• Poke Runyon - Dark Mirror of Magick (477MB zipped movie file) @500 On January 3rd, 2001, documentary writer/producer Wayne Darwen brought a professional T.V. news crew into the inner sanctum of The Order of the Temple of Astarte to record a remarkable phenomenon: the summoning of the ancient spirit Vassago. Early in February an edited version of Vassago's mysterious Prophecy was broadcast by the Los Angeles affiliate of a National T.V. Network, confirming that the spirit had predicted a major news event: only 13 days after the ritual had been audio-visually recorded, President Laurent Kabila of the Congo was assassinated! In this video version we show you the entire operation in sequence, exactly as it happened with no rehearsals and no retakes. Wayne Darwen also interviews the Magister Thabion (Poke Runyon) and the mystic seer Frater Solomon. Their unrehearsed answers to his probing questions leave no doubt as to the philosophical depth and spiritual power of Solomon's ancient Magick even in this modern age. This is an entirely new and original production. In "The Magick of Solomon" video we dramatically reenacted magical rituals for instructive purposes, whereas "Dark Mirror of Magick" is the record of an actual magical operation of historical significance. We believe that this remarkable documentary will be studied and commented on for years to come.
  

• Poke Runyon - The Rites of Magick (461MB zipped movie file) @500 In The Rites of Magick we introduce the Western counterpart to Tantric yoga in which qabalistic-planetary spheres are developed within the body in a similar manner to the chakras of the East. In Pathworkings we take you through the Dark Mirror on an astral journey to one of these inner spheres. In Seasonal Ceremonies we show you one of our first performances (1974) of the Goddess Astarte’s journey to the underworld from the myths of ancient Canaan. The cast includes Pagan elder Joseph Wilson, and the original founders of the Neo-Pagan Movement in America, Frederick Adams and Lady Svetlana of Feraferia. Following this historical footage we present a (2004) dramatic torchlight rendition of our Summer Solstice rite in which the Green Man is slain by the Dark Lord in an ancient Phoenician myth drama. In the Communion of the Elements we again return to 1974 for an early version of this rite, followed by a totally silent and masked presentation, accompanied by organ music, performed in 2003. We believe we have the first visually recorded presentation of an Enochian Watchtower Opening ceremony. After a brief history and explanation of the system we enter the temple where all five Enochian Tablets are displayed. The operator opens each in turn, concluding with the Portal Call before the Tablet of Union. Our bonus feature is a short fantasy about mad alchemist determined to create an elixir that will restore his disfigured face to its original appearance. It’s Hieronymus Bosch meets Salvador Dali on film. In conclusion I explain that our particular school of magick is based on the 18th century rite of Crata Repoa and that we are of the ancient Hermetic Tradition. We believe that this production will be of considerable interest to students of the occult, magick, Neo-Paganism, cultural anthropology and avant-garde religion.

• IGOS & Blanchard - Veritable Black Magic (Key of Solomon) (74 pages) None other than the Key of Solomon, except that all the "Black Magick" portions Mathers' censored in his version have been left intact.

• Goetic Spellwork (25 pages) @200cr There are a multitude of texts available for the willing practitioner who wishes to learn the art of spirit evocation. However, where do you go from there? One of the overarching abilities of most spirits is the ability to teach an art or skill; as entities more subject to the ebb and flow of the magical world than we are, they are able to teach many charms and spells which can aid the magician in their magical workings. This pamphlet presents spells taken from conversations and workings with spirits and combines various magical practices and bits and pieces of folklore, providing you with inspiration and some fresh ideas of how you can employ working with the spirits in your practice.

• The Treasure of the Old Man of the Pyramids: The True Sience of Talismans to conjure up spirits of all kinds, to control them, to obtain all that one may wish and to foil their evil spells. (59 pages) @500 The first time in English; this is a translation of the 1839 Lille (Brussels) edition of "Treasure of the Old Man of the Pyramids", the classic grimoire of Talismanic Magic. The introduction by the original editors of the book, the Van Meulsten Brothers, has been included along with a new introduction by the translator of the work. We have included the original French text so readers can easily check any questionable passages while using the talismans recommended by the author of the book.
  
  Originally composed in Arabic, the editors of the 1839 Lille edition state that "near the end of the last century, the only copy known in Europe was to be found in the library of one of the principle monasteries of Venice." This manuscript was later owned by a Mr. Tyeleton, who had twenty copies of it printed, which were gifted to sovereigns and close friends, notably Mr. Van-Stopel of Amsterdam, whose copy was used as the basis for the French edition.

• Frederick Hockley - A Complete Book of Magic Science (115 pages) @1000 Until this edition the grimoire was known only to exist only in the form of several nineteenth century manuscripts, which are said to have been transcribed by Frederick Hockley (1809-1885) from "an ancient Latin manuscript," dated 1519. However, recent research suggests the these manuscripts were probably actually written by Hockley himself, although he obviously made use of a variety of earlier sources. Curiously the work known as 'The Secret Grimoire of Turiel,' seems to have been derived from it, although A Complete Book of Magic Science is lengthier and contains much additional material.
  
  Occult scholar Frederick Hockley made several manuscripts of A Complete Book of Magic Science in the 1830s or 1840s, and one of these, complete with beautiful color drawings of the sigils, magical circles etc., was recently discovered. It is from this Hockley manuscript, that the Teitan Press edition has been prepared.

  Hockley himself put together a huge library on the occult, and sought out and copied a number of manuscripts and grimoires that he found hidden in collections around England. After his death Hockley's library was dispersed, and a number of his manuscripts were obtained and used by members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the famous magical group in which Aleister Crowley started his career. There is a persistent speculation that Hockley was the source of the famous 'cipher manuscripts' from which the basic structure and rituals of Order were drawn and one of the groups founders, W. Wynn Westcott, not only wrote that Hockley's manuscripts were "highly esteemed," and claimed him as one of the Order's prominent Adepts.

  Originally published in 1945; this is a facsimile reprint of one of the strangest books in the history of hoodoo spell-casting.
  
  The renowned folk-magic scholar Henri Gamache, the author of "The Master Book of Candle Burning" and "Terrors of the Evil Eye Exposed" (a.k.a. "Protection Against Evil"), collected this material from Mediaeval Coptic and Syrian grimoires that were attributed to Moses, the ancient leader of Israel.
  
  Rather than merely following in the tradtion of the earlier such collection of spells and talismans called "The 6th and 7th Books of Moses," Henri Gamache wrote a startling and lengthy preface in which he linked African tribal beliefs to ancient Jewish and Egyptian religions. In doing this, he sought to prove that Moses was "The Great Voodoo Man of he Bible," a remarkable thesis that may have owed its genesis to the socio-political writings of Marcus Garvey and that certainly foreshadowed the magical African Cultural Nationalism novels of Ishmael Reed (such as "Mumbo Jumbo") by several decades.

• [ recommended ] Transcendental Magic (275 pages) This is Eliphas Levi's (1810-1875) best-known book. This work arguably made Levi THE most influential writer on magic since the Renaissance. Originally issued in French, the English translator is A.E. Waite and it is doubtful that anyone else could have better captured the essence of Levi's work. The book is divided in two parts; the first is theoretical, the second practical. This is a fascinating and often debated work. Part I & II. Eliphas Levi's tour de force on the theory and practice of magic. Part 1 covers theory, and attempts to reconcile the traditional interpretations of magic and religion with the emphasis on Reason and Knowledge of Levi's own day. The reconciliation doesn't succeed, but Levi's understanding of the traditional viewpoint is strong enough to make this work valuable. Part II covers the practical aspects of magic.

• Planetary Talismans (15 pages)

• The Magus or Celestial Intelligencer  Book I (157 pages) | Book II (128 pages) synopsis The Magus has proved to be the most sought after set of books on magic and alchemy ever published. There is very good reason for this. These books are powerful, and were considered so dangerous that for many years, rare copies could only be found in certain libraries, locked away from the general public and from those who would use (or misuse) its power. The original set of books was first published in 1801 by its author, Francis Barrett, who had an extensive background in the medieval and occult sciences. He spent many years of diligent study before releasing them. His premise for the material, that is, before putting anything into these books, Barrett first subjected the various theories to certain tests that had to be "substantiated by nature, truth, and experiment" first. They were written for those seeking the key to the philosopher's stone and the powers of magic. The illustrations in this book were taken from ancient and medieval texts, magical tables, planetary tables, talismans and images of angels and demons. Book One covers natural magic, amulets and charms, potions, precious stones, lights, candles, alchemy, the philosopher's stone, transmutation, the four elements, numbers, and planets. Book Two covers magnetic powers, Cabalistic magic, the names of angels and spirits, the performing of invocations, conjuring spirits, magic circles, receiving oracles in dreams, positive and evil spirits, and concludes with a major biographical section on the great magicians of history.
  

• [ recommended ] The Practice of Magical Evocation @300cr Sacred Magick Edition (350 pages) In magical terms, the book is a practical guide to the proper evocation of and communication with spiritual, magical and divine entities. It is perhaps the only truly significant modern study of direct contact with the universal teachers -- the other major works in the field are products of the Medieval, Renaissance, and Reformation periods. But beyond that, there is a fascinating glimpse into a complete magical universe. Bardon outlines a totally new and original hierarchy of magic, from the spirits of the four elements to those of the various planets, and even to each degree of the zodiac. Included with the names and descriptions of the various entities are a collection of previously unknown magical sigils, as well as a true account of ancient astrology| PME Commentary by Rawn Clark (24 pages)

• Papal Magick by Simon (193 pages) @300cr It is acknowledged Church doctrine that sorcery is the specific domain of the Devil. Yet occult tales are liberally sprinkled throughout the Old and New Testaments, from the spirit-invoking Witch of Endor to the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. Throughout its 2,000 year history, the Church has spawned numerous mystical religious orders, like the Knights Templar, that may have been engaged in supernatural pursuits, while no fewer than three popes were believed to be involved in occult practices. Christian scriptures tell us that the occult is real, while Catholic priests are thought to have spiritual power over ghosts and evil entities. But if a priest can cast out demons during the rites of exorcism, does it not imply he has the ability to summon them as well? In this eye-opening, provocative work, leading occult scholar Simon examines the Church's unspoken relationship with forbidden magic by exploring the infamous seventeenth-century document considered by some to be the most demonic of all occult texts —the Grimoire of Pope Honorius III—and illuminates the Vatican's darkest hidden corners.

• Schulke - Viridarium Umbris: The Pleasure Garden of Shadow (544 pages) @500cr Which treats of the Secret Knowledge of Trees and Herbs, Deliver'd by the Fallen Angels unto Man. An extensive grimorium of Wortcunning, or herb-magic, the Pleasure-Garden treats of the secret knowledge of trees and herbs as delivered by the Fallen Angels unto mankind. The book's principal concerns are the sorcery and gnosis of the Greenwood, as arising from the varied luminaries of the Eternal Gardens of the Arte Magical. As a grimoire of Spiritual Botany, the Book is a Hortus Conclusus of text and image intended for the indwelling of these plant-spirits. The work encompasses magical practices, formulae, and mystical exegesis, all treating the respective arcana of Nature-Spirits and the powers of individual plants. Much of the magical foci are on devotion, purity, humility, silence, solitude, and the hieros-gamos of wortcunner and plant as a tutelary relationship, in conjunction with the Mysteries of Cain, first tiller of the soil. The whole is intended as a textual reification of the Green Arts within the context of the Sabbatic Craft Tradition, and within the greater ambit of Brythonic plantlore and folk magic.

• Frater Malak - The Mystic Grimoire of Mighty Spells and Rituals (201 pages) @500cr Out of print. Highly sought after piece of practical grimoire written by the same "The Miracle of New Avatar Power" author. In this book, the Mystic Grimoire of Mighty Spells and Rituals, the author, Frater Malak and his magical order of Campo Santo, a Mystery School in Canada, researched thousands of rituals and wrote about twenty seven rituals and many spells that were the most effective in getting results. Malak covers every eventuality that you could want: Good luck, health, money and great wealth, love and sex, invisibility, relaxation, success, and overcoming enemies. Every angelic name appearing in this book has been throughly researched. As an example, in the Arcane Invisibility Ritual, you call upon Yeshayah, this is another form of the angel Metatron. In the Overwhelming Good Luck Ritual you summon Bodiel, this is an angel serving under the Goetic spirit Barbatos. In the Titanic Enemies Vanquished Ritual, you work with Narudi, the Akkadian Lord of the Great Gods. Over the last thirty years, I have personally tested all of rituals and most of the spells in this book. Without exception, all have worked over time, depending upon my application of the knowledge and secrets given in the book, and properly executing what has been taught there. This Grimoire was published in the seventies but remains a definitive work about magical evocation. That is the art and science of calling down spirits, and most importantly getting results for magicians and sorcerers of today.

• David Rankine - The Book Of Treasure Spirits (184 pages) @500crTHE BOOK OF TREASURE SPIRITS Conjurations of Goetic spirits, old gods, demons and fairies are all part of a rich heritage of the magical search for treasure trove. During the Middle Ages and Renaissance the British Monarchy gave out licenses to people seeking treasure in an effort to control such practices, and this is one reason why so many grimoires are full of conjurations and charms to help the magician find treasure. Published here for the first time, from a long-ignored mid-seventeenth century manuscript in the British Library (Sloane MS 3824), is the conjuration said to have been performed at the request of King Edward IV, with other rites to reveal treasure, to have treasure brought from the sea, and to cause thieves to bring back stolen goods. Conjurations to call any type of spirit are also included, recorded by the noted alchemist and collector Elias Ashmole, as is an extract on conjuration practices from the Heptameron, transcribed into English for practical use by a working group of magicians, before its first English publication by Robert Turner in 1655. These conjurations demonstrate the influence of earlier classic grimoires and sources, with components drawn from the Goetia, the Heptameron, and Reginald Scot's Discoverie of Witchcraft. The material includes spirit contracts for Agares, Padiel and Vassago, as well as techniques like lead plates for binding, and summoning into a glass of water, which hark back to the defixiones of Hellenistic Greece and the demonic magic of the Biblical world. This material forms part of a corpus of conjurations all written in the same hand and style of evocation, linking Goetic spirits and treasure spirits with the archangels and planetary intelligences (in Sloane MS 3825), and demon kings and Enochian hierarchies (in Sloane MS 3821), making it a unique bridge of style and content between what are often falsely seen as diverse threads of Renaissance magic. About the Author David Rankine is an occult scholar and author of more than 20 books on the subject of magic, the western esoteric traditions, folklore and mythology. Since the 1970's he has been researching and exploring magical and spiritual practices throughout history; a journey which has taken him from ancient Sumeria, Babylonia and Egypt through Greece, Rome and Britain through the middle ages and rennaisance and the modern Western Mystery Traditions. With Stephen Skinner he has produced works such as The Veritable Key of Solomon and the Goetia of Dr Rudd, both highly regarded groundbreaking works which make available previously unpublished source for the first time.materials for the first time.

• F. Hockley - Occult Spells A 19th Century Grimoire (207 pages) @500cr Frederick Hockley (1809-1885), was an occultist and Freemason with an interest in Spiritualism who in later life was associated with the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia. Hockley's peers considered him to be one of the great occult scholars of his time. Occult Spells is an esoteric commonplace book in which Hockley recorded material on different spells, talismans, charms and such-like that he came across in rare books and manuscripts in the course of his researches. The sources that Hockley used ranged from occult classics such as Saunders' Physiognomie, and Chiromancie, Metoposcopie (1671), John Heydon's Theomagia; and Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy (1651), to obscure works like Pettigrew's Bibliotheca Sussexiana (1827), and grimoires like the Petit Albert. The spells and talismans vary as much as his sources: from Enochian invocations, through folk magic, and into the darker realms of necromancy. This is the first ever publication of Occult Spells and includes an Introduction and transcription of the text by Silens Manus, a Hockley scholar works who, in addition to checking and restoring illegible words or phrases from original sources, Manus has added footnotes explaining obscure terms, deity names etc, and translates most of the less common non-English phrases and passages. Where possible Manus has added plates which Hockley omitted. Occult Spells offers a rare insight into the occult preoccupations of this interesting figure, whose work arguably had a profound effect on the late nineteenth century Occult Revival.

• Alexzander & Stratton-Kent - Goetic Pharmakos (26 pages) Just as ‘goes’ is an ancient term for a magician working with spirits of the Underworld, so ‘pharmakos’ represents a magician working with herbs, alchemical processes and so forth. The types are not mutually exclusive, and accordingly there are spirits of the grimoire who work with alchemy, herbs, stones, etc. These spirits are very suitable allies for magicians combining the work of the ‘goes’ and the ‘pharmakos’. The purpose of this booklet then is to detail approaches to goetic spell-work, facilitating the further reintegration of New World and Grimoire approaches.

It comprises two parts, A Collection of Magickal Secrets and A Treatise of Mixed Cabalah, both of which contain unique and exciting magical material, that were previously bound together in a French manuscript with The Clavicule of Solomon and The Universal Treatise of the Keys of Solomon. These are reproduced along with The Keys of Rabbi Solomon, in the most significant grimoire publication of modern times, The Veritable Key of Solomon by Stephen Skinner & David Rankine.

There are charms for healing, winning in love and gambling, gaining familiar spirits, regaining stolen or lost property, instructions for the creation of magic rings for controlling spirits, and a rare angelic conjuration of a Prince of the Thumb. A wide range of sympathetic magick techniques such as dreaming, poppets, using bread, herbs and sieves, are utilised to ensure the success of the charms. A Treatise of Mixed Cabalah contains four parts, three of which fit together to develop a greater knowledge of the practical Qabalah. This includes a ritual sequence of prayers and actions for increasing knowledge, practical instructions for the construction, consecration and use of wax pentacles for absent healing, a technique for angelic dream incubation and a system of divination with 112 possible answers.

• Book of The Treasure of Alexander (129 pages) | Book of the Treasure of Alexander - Talismans (18 pages) The Book of the Treasure of Alexander, attributed to Alexander the Great and his tutor, the philosopher Aristotle, is a medieval Hermetic text of alchemy, astrology and astrological magic. This is the first complete English translation of this key text, originally written in Arabic, which explains a wide variety of practical applications of occult virtue and the hidden powers of Nature. Originally written in Arabic, our text was translated into Portuguese from a critical edition of three Arabic texts and then translated by Nicholaj de Mattos Frisvold into English. I then extensively edited the text in order to make sure the astrology and astrological magic was accurate and usable. Despite being attributed to Alexander and Aristotle, Hermes Trismegistus and Balinus, our usual suspects when it comes to hermetica, pop up all over the place. This is a classic work of Arabic Hermeticism, with lots of links to Picatrix, but lots of new material, I've never seen either in Picatrix or other works.

• Teitan Press - Authentic Red Dragon (209 pages) @500cr   The "Dragon Rouge" is one of the most notorious of the little books of black magic known as grimoires. This Teitan Press publication includes a complete facsimile of the earliest known edition - a French printing that is dated 1521 (although it was probably circa 1800) - along with a complete English translation by Joshua A. Wentworth. It is prefaced with a thoughtful and sometimes humorous Introduction by Silens Manus.
  The text itself is typical of grimoires of the time, and is clearly related to the "Grand rimoire." Its anonymous author claims that the work is derived from the wisdom of the legendary King Solomon, and then sets down instructions for the creation of a number of magical implements: blasting rod (wand), talisman and magic circle, that are to be used to summon the demon "Lucifugé Rofocale," who is then bound over to serve the sorcerer. In the process a great many sub-demons are named, and their attributes listed. This is followed by a series of magic spells or recipes for various purposes; from making oneself invisible, to winning the affections of another, to the cure of various common ailments. The book ends with a chart of lucky and unlucky days and a short version of the treasure-finding text known as "La Poule Noire" ("The Black Hen"). The "Dragon Rouge" was very popular in nineteenth century France, and is still said to be one of the most highly revered texts in certain Voodoo circles in Haiti.

The Sacred Magick of Abramelin the Mage ▲  

The author of this book, Abraham of Würzburg, was a Qabalist and connoisseur of magickal practices. In accordance with tradition, Abraham's eldest son received the Holy Qabalah. Wanting his younger son to also "...be able to admire, to consider, and to enjoy the marvels of the Lord," Abraham gave this book to Lamech when he felt he was old enough.

• The Book of Abramelin: A New Translation (307 pages) @500cr synopsis by Abraham Von Worms, Lon Milo Duquette, Georg Dehn, and Steven Guth. The Book of Abramelin is the first modern translation of this magical work since Mathers’ original translation over 100 years ago. Not only is the language updated, but Georg Dehn, the compiler and editor, has sourced his work from all extant manuscripts, while Mathers used just one. The result is a stunning new translation that has already set the occult world abuzz. It includes voluminous important material left out of Mathers’ work, including an entire Part 2 filled with magical recipes, important distinctions in the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel ritual, and complete word grids that were only partially completed by Mathers. This is an essential work for any serious practicing magician or student of occult history.

Necronomicon ▲

• The Necronomicon - Simon Version (147 pages) In the past 31 years, there has been a lot of ink - actual and virtual - spilled on the subject of the Necronomicon.

As the decades have passed, more information has come to light both on the book's origins and discovery, and on the information contained within its pages. The Necronomicon has been found to contain formula for spiritual trans-formation, consistent with some of the most ancient mystical processes in the world, processes that were not public knowledge when the book was first published, processes that involve communion with the stars.

But now comes a guide that enables anyone to pick up the book and use its ineluctable power "without fear or risk" according to editor Simon. Simon is a student of magic, occultism, and religion since the mid-1960s and the editor of the Necronomicon, Simon was a frequent lecturer for the famed Warlock Shop in Brooklyn and the Magickal Childe Bookstore in Manhattan for more than ten years before his sudden disappearance in 1984, speaking on topics as diverse as religion and politics, occultism and fascism, ceremonial magic, demonolatry, the Tarot, the Qabala, and Asian occult systems. He also conducted private classes for the New York City OTO during this period, with a focus on Enochian magic, "Owandering bishops," and Afro-Caribbean occult beliefs. An ordained priest of an Eastern Orthodox church, Simon has appeared on television and radio discussing such topics as exorcism, satanism, and Nazism. The media events he organized in the 1970s and 1980s -- with rock bands, ritual performances, and celebrity appearances -- helped to promote the "occult renaissance" in New York City. After decades of study in European, Asian, and Latin American cult centers, this book marks his first public appearance in more than twenty years.

The first part tells how the Mad Arab first came to know of the existence of the dark secrets he is writing down (by accidentally witnessing an arcane ritual performed by a cult of the Ancient Ones). In second part, the Mad Arab is haunted by demons and monsters. He fears that his gods have foresaken him due to some sin he believes to have unwittingly committed. Apparently, he is taken away by these demons just after he finishes writing his book, but before he is able to sign it; thus his name remains unknown.

• Enuma Elish (7 pages) The Babylonian and Assyrian Legends Concerning the Creation of the World and of Mankind. The Enuma Elish is one of the oldest stories known to mankind. It is a story first written down by the ancient Sumerians thousands of years ago. As a one time assistant in the Department of Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities at the British Museum, L.W. King provides us with a qualified translation of the tablets which were originally written in cuneiform script. The Enuma Elish is receiving renewed interest from modern researchers delving into the origins of mankind, the earth, and the solar system. Over the centuries a copy ended up in the library at Nineveh in the 7th century B.C., and was uncovered by archaeologists in the late 1800s. Written in cuneiform text and preserved on seven clay tablets, the entire story was called "The Seven Tablets of Creation." After being translated the story revealed how the planets became aligned, how a cosmic catastrophe affected the earth, how mankind came upon the scene, and how the "gods" played a role in all of it. The Seven Tablets of Creation have had many profound implications since they were first discovered and subsequently published. They predate many parts of the Book of Genesis as well as other worldwide creation myths. Volume One includes this epic poem's English translation. It also includes information on parallels in Hebrew literature, the date and origin of the Babylonian creation legends, and more. Volume Two includes other accounts of creation, an Assyrian "Tower of Babel" story, and supplementary texts showing the actual cuneiform tablets.

• IGOS - Hidden Keys of The Necronomicon (21 pages) The second of IGOS two contributions to the Necronomicon Mythos - a very short (20pp) book consisting only of various seals and sigils to be used with the incantations found in the Simon Necronomicon. While those who study the Necronomicon mythos will undoubtedly find this valuable, for its rarity alone if nothing else, I personally deem it one of many such titles IGOS put together in an hour or less and threw in their catalog to make a few extra bucks when times were tough. Nevertheless, it is what it is and I'm sure some will find it useful.

• IGOS - Necronomicon Workbook (133 pages)  This one presents a brief history of the Necronomicon and its proponents, then presents a modernized system of ritual magick based upon the Necronomicon structure. Finally, several appendices are included containing other authors' articles and related material.
