A Book of the Magi
Lore, Prayers, and Spellcraft of the Three Holy Kings

This book traces the cult of the Magi through their lore: their history, art, legends, rituals, and devotions. It examines their political and social influences as well as their cultural and religious impact, showing them to be cast both as legitimisers of established power structures, and as figures who foment profoundly radical dissent. Cummins presents and weighs historical prayers to the Three Holy Kings for their mythic structures and ritual possibilities. In particular this book discusses historiolae found in these prayers - appeals to mythic actions or origins, often by imitation, fit for both devotional meditation and operative sorcery. Finally, this text collects, analyses and explores the spellcraft of the Three Wise-Men: examining the various magical operations calling on Caspar, Melchior and Balthazar found in grimoiric handbooks of magic and folk custom alike. These include workings for travelling, for conjuring spirits, for detection, for protection, for healing, and even for dominating authorities. Overall, A Book of the Magi makes a case for the veneration of the Magi as a loci and catalyst for furthering a folk necromantic practice of working with ancestral magicians. It does this by examining the history, devotion, and magic associated with the Three Kings, as well as demonstrating how components from old manuscripts can be explored and incorporated into a personal practice through awareness of context and careful ritual design.

Nightside of Eden
Kenneth Grant

Nightside of Eden is an explication of the Cult of Choronzon, and the first initiates exposition of the Mysteries of the Left-Hand Path in relation to Western Occultism. Nightside of Eden reveals the esoteric doctrines of the `black` magick of the Left-Hand Path, as well as the practical applications of psychosexual formulae of which very little if generally known. The book is illustrated not only by the demonic sigils of the other side, which make of it a veritable grimoire of the Dark Doctrine, but also by curious works of siderealism, or stellar art, sprung from the New Aeon consciousness that permeates occult Orders that are in harmony with the Typhonian Tradition.

The Magical Revival
Kenneth Grant

First published in 1972, The Magical Revival 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 vigor. The continuity of this magical current as reflected in the work of Aleister Crowley, A. O. 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. 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 supersede 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. This enhanced new edition is limited to 1500 copies.

Cults of the Shadow
Kenneth Grant

Many sincere occultists have hesitated to study the notorious left hand path for fear of stumbling into incalculable evil and ultimate damnation. As the last student of Aleister Crowley, Kenneth Grant has no such hesitations. In he shows that the left hand path has no connection with black magic-it is a legitimate balance to the right hand path dating back to the primeval phases of consciousness. Grant leads us on a dark pathway through Africa's Ophidian (snake) tradition Egypt's Draconian cult and the Tantric secrets of India and Tibet into the present day.

Tartaros
On the Orphic and Pythagorean Underworld, and the Pythagorean Pentagram
J. August Alm

The magical doctrines of the ancient Orphics and Pythagoreans are poorly understood by modern scholars, in part because they were secretive in their own time. Well-known for speaking in riddles and complex ciphers, its adepts were bound by strict taboo and silence, the breaking of which was punishable by death. The enigma of the cult’s teachings was further shrouded by centuries of suppression, and, in some cases, appropriation or misrepresentation, by the growing forces of Christianity. What remains today are the fragments of its lost books, together with the words of those who, for good or ill, wrote about them. In an original interpretation and synthesis apt for today’s student of ancient mysticism and the occult, August Alm advances a new conception of these ancient mystery-cults and their sublime doctrines of Chaos, Darkness and Light.

Geosophia: The Argo of Magic - 2 books set
Jake Stratton-Kent

Geosophia: The Argo of Magic is Jake Stratton-Kent’s masterpiece. Tracing the development of magic from the Greeks to the grimoires, it lays bare the chthonic roots of goetic ritual. By exposing the necromantic origins of much of modern magic we are able to reconnect with the source of our ritual tradition. There is a continuity of practice in the West which encompasses the pre-Olympian cults of Dionysus and Cybele, is found in the Greek Magical Papyri and Picatrix and flows into the grimoires. Rather than a muddle of superstition, the grimoire tradition is revealed as the living descendant of the ancient practices of the Goes.

This is a work which redefines our understanding of the Western tradition, one which does not begin with Kabbalah or Solomon, but rather descends into the Underworld and brings forth new life. JSK illuminates scarce and overlooked texts with an incisive commentary, from volcanic conjurations to over 70 pages dealing with Picatrix. Following the voyage of the Argonauts, Geosophia offers biographies of the heroes and gods, and discovers the hidden magical meanings and significance of their actions and adventures.

Yet this is not a history lesson, JSK foresees a global synthesis of magic where Western goetic magic, reconnected to its chthonic origins can dovetail with the African Traditional Religions. Like The True Grimoire, this further work in the Encyclopædia Goetica series is both a scholarly and eminently practical work. Geosophia equips the modern grimoire magician with an arsenal of techniques and approaches that will transform their personal art.

The mythic structure of Geosophia anchors the practice of the modern necromancer in an indigenous yet eclectic history which transfuses the Western magical tradition with the same vitality that we find in the African diaspora religions.

Diabolical
Various Authors

Delving deeper into the grimoires, Diabolical suggests that we make our pact with the spirits. A serious account of the workings and practice undertaken with these forbidden books. The grimoire tradition is being reinvigorated in the living practice of the carcists, magicians and sorcerors who dare to work with these books. Those who do this work, regardless of whether they trepass amongst the angels or daemons, are often slandered as diabolical. Their books are also regarded as diabolical, being incomprehensible, demonic and without spiritual or practical value. They now throw this back at their accusers by demonstrating that these books are more complex than black and white theology allows, and as repositories of forbidden knowledge are worth their weight in gold. They are upholding their side of the pact and continuing to produce the most groundbreaking and relevant titles of the modern occult revival.

To this end, Scarlet Imprint have convened an international cabal of writers and artists from England, Poland, Holland, Sweden, Spain, Brazil, Canada and America. The writers for this project are: Jake Stratton-Kent; Erik de Pauw; Aaron Leitch; Paul Hughes-Barlow; Mark Smith; Stafford Stone; Thomas Karlsson; Johnny Jakobsson; The anonymous author of Pharaoan; Humberto Maggi; John J Coughlin; Krzysztof Azarewicz; Donald Tyson Kyle Fite. These individuals meet for the first time within the pages of Diabolical and give tongue to their excursions into these texts and others: The Red Dragon/Grand Grimoire; Grimorium Verum; Lemegeton; The Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage; The Testament of Solomon; The Nightside of Eden; The Wisdom of S'lba; Qutub; Liber 231; Liber 325 the Bartzabel Working; The Holy Books of Thelema; The Voudon Gnostic Workbook; The Taufer books.

Gullveigarbok
Ekortu

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.

At the Crossroads
Various Authors

At the crossroads the paths of magicians and worlds meet. Grimoire and root workers, Hoodoo and Vodoun, Quimbanda and Ifa. A potent fusion is occuring, a second diaspora. At the Crossroads tells the stories of what happens when the Western Magical Tradition encounters the African Diaspora and Traditional religions, and vice versa. It is a mixing and a magic that speaks of a truly new world emerging. In this gathering of kindred spirits, experiences are shared between initiates of very different cultures whose magic proves to be underpinned by the same principles, though clothed in different garb. We find the grimoires of Old Europe flourishing in the New World, Juju spreading through the United States, the Cunning men of Essex rendering service to the Lwa of Haitian Voudon, alchemists who are Paleros, the techniques of the Greek Magical Papyri applied to Conjure counter-hexing. This is fertile ground for the imagination, and practice. At The Crossroads is extensively illustrated, in both black and white and colour with original artworks and in depth essays by leading practitioners of the occult community from New York to Bristol, and from London to Brazil. An important contribution made at the point where all the roads meet. Where we encounter the most traditional approaches and the wildest fringes of the avant garde, At the Crossroads boldly demands your attention. Hardbound book. Secondhand, mint condition. -SOLD-

La Petit Albert

First edition, hand numbered edition. Secondhand copy, fine condition.

In some respects, Le Petit Albert was the epitome of the Bibliothèque Bleue grimoires: it appeared from virtually nowhere in the early eighteenth century, was almost immediately condemned by the censor, and was spread across France by itinerant booksellers passing from village to village, town to town.

This edition celebrates the text as a window into the lives of the small people, with its advice on how to win at fishing, turn table-wine into fine liqueur, stop your spouse wandering and keep the actual wolf from the door. This folk wisdom blends into Paracelsan magic and the famed description of the Hand of Glory and the Mandrake, which formed the basis for a fascination which endures to this day. But much more than that, Le Petit Albert became synonymous with sorcery in the French colonies of North America and the Caribbean and is one of the most important texts in traditional New World magic. We have worked from the 'Lyon' edition dated 1752, which expands on the earlier editions and stabilizes the text, apparently forming the solid basis for what followed. 90 euros

Argarizim - The Fall of Lucifer
Johannes Nefastos

Argarizim continues studies where Fosforos left off; disclosing a deeper understanding of the Luciferian gnosis, one that is not focused on carnality or egotism, but on the pursuit of true realization concerning the essence of Satan and the philosophy of the occult, focusing in this book more specifically on areas that otherwise are rarely treated in general LHP literature. The book concentrates, amongst other topics, on the influences of emotions, as connected to aspects of Cardinal Sins, within the advancement of the initiate, explaining the differences between satanic paths and their progressive and regressive effects within the spiritual context. Dangers of the astral realms in connection to interactions with their denizens and the different states of the Spirit in the afterlife are also amongst the varied occult topics addressed, making this book most valuable for the students that have experienced the trials of the Mortification phase and that now reach for deeper and higher understanding concerning spiritual evolution as it is perceived within the author’s Brotherhood of the Star of Azazel.

The book consists of twelve chapters (each named after a certain stage of the descent into the Dantean Hell) plus prologue & epilogue. Hardbound book, 139 pages. Secondhand copy, signs of use on the cloth. 70 euros

FOSFOROS (Near mint)
Johannes Nefastos

One of the most intellectually sophisticated and in-depth texts of modern Satanism/ Left Hand Path and its spirituality ever produced. This valuable occult study delves the student of the Left Hand Path into a comprehensive philosophical system providing a Study on the Being & Essence of Satan, exploring topics such as the Philosophy of God, Philosophical Anthropology, Eschatology, Metaphysics, Cosmology, and various other subjects of Satanism and Mysticism that will guide the serious seeker to form a complete worldview. With the aim of total unity and of understanding opposites, considering even the most wrathful arguments of the downward path of the soul's death in an unbiased way, Fosforos seeks to build on the fundamental doctrine of Oneness: the quintessences of both the Right Hand Path and the Left Hand Path are herein joined into one amalgam, as they have always been in the heart of a true aspirant.

The six different parts of Fosforos; Polyharmonia: The Philosophy of Oneness / Discordamelior: The Philosophy of Perdition / Necrosophia: The Philosophy of Death / Pentagrammaton: The Consistency of Man and the Practice of Magic / Cista Mystica: The Symbology of Satanism / Legifer & Clavis Magica: Ritual, each approach from a different perspective the core ideas of the text, namely Satan and the Occult science of Magic. Despite its paradoxical and labyrinthine manner of expression, often using totally opposing arguments to understand and live for the great whole, Fosforos is not written to be just another theoretical study of the Left Hand Path, philosophical treatise, or Satanic Manifesto, but rather is a work for devotional and practical living, should the reader choose to aspire on this narrow path of Ascension.

The Catechism of Lucifer - Regular edition
Johannes Nefastos

The Ten Commandments of Lucifer / The Satanic Credo in Three Creeds / The Master's Prayer in Six Articles / Of Lucifer's sacraments / Of Demons / Of Magic / Of the Responsibility of the Individual / Of Satan / And many relevant quotations taken from the different sources of Star of Azazel's literature.

The Catechism of Lucifer was written as a counter-gospel for the Evangelical Lutheran catechism, but in addition to this, it represents a Gnostic form of Satanism on its own. In this book is outlined the path out of worldliness, out of theology mortally wounded by its false theodicy, even out of humanity taken as something small-minded, powerless and petty. The Catechism of Lucifer is founded upon the idea that by hating the perverted picture made of God by the Christian doctrine, we may truly attain higher possibilities for our Spiritual development and Empowerment. On this demanding but beautiful and meaningful path we are led by our innermost potential of ingeniosity, the divine Master Lucifer.

The teachings within this books are not suitable for masses of animal men whose fears and aspirations bind them tightly to the mortal world of forms. They suit only the brave, the proud, the ones permeated by the breath of Master Satan, the ones for whom suffering and damnation as a price of their own ideals is not a sacrifice but rather a reward in this distorted world.

Regular Edition: Hardbound book, in black antique pattern faux leather, pages pressed on special linen embossed paper. Gold inverted cross on the cover, each catechism is finished with a black silk ribbon and cream colour head- and tailbands. Small size book, 82 pages of religious texts.

Morkrets Apostlar (Swedish text)
Per Faxneld

Hur såg satanism ut före 1900-talets mitt? I denna inträngande religionshistoriska analys - den första av sitt slag på svenska - får vi veta mer om medeltida kätteri, svarta mässor vid det franska hovet på 1600-talet, om Baudelaire och andra litterära Lucifers lovtalare. Och hur förhöll sig ockultister som H. P. Blavatsky, Rudolf Steiner och Aleister Crowley till Satan? Vilka var polacken Stanislaw Przybyszewski och dansken Ben Kadosh, som båda öppet framlade satanistiska system kring sekelskiftet 1800-1900? Vi får även läsa om det hemlighetsfulla Fraternitas Saturni i 1920-talets Berlin, samt mycket annat. Antal sidor: ca 270s.

Kabbala, kliffot och den goetiska magin (Swedish text)
Thomas Karlsson

Kabbala, kliffot och den goetiska magin är en unik bok om filosofi, psykologi, religion och magi. Boken har uppkommit efter många års studier av de ämnen som gett den dess titel. Boken är inte bara en praktisk introduktion till magin, utan presenterar även den kabbalistiska filosofin på ett djuplodat sätt. Bokens röda tråd är utforskandet av kliffot och de mörka mysterier som länge varit en undanträngd del av den västerländska mystiken. Istället för att förneka och förtränga den mörka sidan visar författaren hur människan stegvis kan lära känna sin skugga och på så sätt nå en djupare självkännedom. Genom att utforska och inte förneka Skuggan kan den omvandlas från att vara en nedbrytande princip till att bli en kreativ kraft. Boken beskriver kabbalans symbol 'Livets träd', tio sefirot och de tjugotvå stigar som motsvarar aspekter av människans psyke. Som den första boken i sitt slag presenterar Kabbala, kliffot och den goetiska magin även kabbalans mörka sida, 'kunskapens träd', de tio kliffot och de tunnlar som löper genom tillvarons nattsida. Boken tar upp det ondas problem, symboliken bakom Lucifers fall och människans självskapelseprocess enligt den kabbalistiska filosofin. Författaren håller bokens teorier nära praktiken och ger exempel på ritualer, meditationer, magiska övningar och ockulta korrespondenser. Flera av dessa är hämtade från den svartkonstlitteratur som under många århundraden var en förbjuden del av den europeiska kulturen. Kabbala, kliffot och den goetiska magin innehåller fler än hundra demonsigill, liksom konstverk som skapats speciellt för denna bok. För första gången på svenska beskrivs samtliga demoner som ingår i den klassiska svartkonstboken Lemegeton: Salomos mindre nycklar och den ökända Grimorium Verum.

Seven Crossroads of Night
Quimbanda in Theory and Practice
Nicholaj de Mattos Frisvold

In Seven Crossroads of Night Nicholaj de Mattos Frisvold sets forth the foundation for Quimbanda in theory and practice, presenting a blueprint for the themes that generate the variety of ways Quimbanda can be approached.

Quimbanda is a Brazilian cult of sorcery that has been preserved in different modalities – either as a secret cult, a necromantic cult, or as an open, religious tradition. Formed of indigenous, African, and European streams of wisdom and sorcery, this unique cult of Exu and Pomba Gira is safeguarded by these amazing entities in diverse ways across Brazil. Remaining strong in their own power, these unique entities represent the mystery of the crossroad, the voice of the graveyard, and the force of life that generates endurance, direction, and honour through the lessons given from life itself and the ancestors.

Though Quimbanda has flourished in the world during the last decade, with the flow and spread of the cult of Exu and Pomba Gira comes questions, misinformation, and confusion along with the fertile ground for its growth. In such a landscape it is good to have waymarks to follow and a map which reveals the lay of the land in the world of these powerful spirits. Frisvold, a resident of Brazil since 2003 who has dedicated the last three decades in study and initiation of cults of sorcery, wisdom, and cunning craft guides us though the intricacies of Quimbanda, offering a simple and effective guide to work with Exu and Pomba Gira.

Witches
Erica Jong

In prose and poetry, the witch is examined as historical reality and as archetype--Halloween hag, full-breasted seductress, natural healer, never without peer, scapegoat, and lingering vestige of a primeval religion--in a study that also features recipes for love potions, formulas for spells, incantations, and stunning full-color artwork. Heavily illustrated. Hardcover, secondhand book, condition VG. Large size format. 60 euros

Magical Amulets: A Personal View of Thai Buddhist Esoterica - booklet
Sheer Zed

One can identify the unending esoterica associated with Thai Buddhist amulets as something of a cult, a craze, an industry, and indeed a deep fetish-driven wormhole which Sheer Zed willingly and quite happily fell into. Amulets come in an encyclopaedic and panoramic variety of shapes, sizes, and lineages, as well as spiritual and/or magical functionality. They are worn on various parts of the body, hidden under clothes, secreted in pockets, and sequestered in all manner of ways. In Magical Amulets: A Personal View of Thai Buddhist Esoterica, Sheer Zed invites the reader into the enclosed environs of his private shrine or special room (hong phra) to share some interesting examples of Thai Buddhist esoterica, including the Baphomet Prai Amulet and the Ong Kru Ghost Bone Phra Pidtaa Prai Amulet by Ajarn Apichai, the Nine Tailed Fox Amulet by Phra Ajarn O Putthoraksar, the Ong Kru Amulet Dedicated to the Necromancer Phor Sala Tan by Phor Noi Tan, and more. Booklet, 24 pages. Secondhand copy. -SOLD-

Hoodoo Mojo Bags and Baby Dolls - booklet

One of the essential tools used in Hoodoo folk practice is the mojo bag which acts as a container of magical force(s), similar to a spirit box or pot.

A Hoodoo Doll-Baby, Dolly, Poppet, Effigy, is a representation of a person made in the likeness of the target and is one of the most essential tools used in Hoodoo sympathetic sorcery.
