The Book of the Sacred Magic
of Abramelin the Mage
Translated by S L MacGregor Mathers
Around
the turn of the century, when Aleister Crowley was working
out his system of Magick, the source that he turned to for
basics was the system of Abramelin of Egypt. From Abramelin
he took his concepts of protections, purifications, evocations,
vestments, and dromena down to specific detailsThis system
of Abramelin the Mage is known from a unique 15th century
manuscript preserved in the Bibliotheque de l`Arsenal in
Paris. In it, Abraham of Wurzburg, a cabalist and connoisseur
of magics, describes a tour that he made of the then civilized
world, visiting sorcerers, magicians, and cabalists, estimating
their powers and virtues. This quest is in itself as fascinating
as the similar tours of Gurdjieff. The high point of Abraham’s
travels was found in a small town on the banks of the Nile,
where he encountered the great magician Abramelin, whose
complete system Abraham thereupon sets out in detail. This
amounts to a complete course in ceremonial magic (both white
and black), which the student can pursue by himself. Abramelin,
whose system is based mostly on Hellenistic theurgy of the
Iamblichan sort, but with Jewish increments from the Cabala,
explains the qualifications needed to become a magician,
purifications and asceticisms to be practiced month by month,
studies and activities permitted during this period, selections
of place and time for working magic, equipment needed, prayers
and formulas, evocation of good and evil spirits, commanding
spirits, to do one’s will, overcoming rebellious spirits,
an similar material. Specific instructions are offered to
develop such powers as clairvoyance, divining metals and
treasurers, warding off evil magic, healing illness, levitation,
transportation, rendering oneself invisible, creating illusions
and glamour, reading minds, placing compulsions, working
black magic, and a host of other abilities.

The
Clavis or Key to the Magic of Solomon
by Joseph Peterson
The
Clavis or Key to the Magic of Solomon is one of several
notebooks from the estate of Ebenezer Sibley, transcribed
under the direction of Frederic Hockley. Sibley was a prominent
physician and an influential author, who complemented his
scientific studies with writings on the "deeper truths"
including magic, astrology, alchemy, and hypnotherapy. Both
Sibley and Hockley were major inspirations in the occult
revival of the past two centuries, influencing A.E. Waite,
S.L. Mathers, Aleister Crowley, as well as the Golden Dawn,
Rosicrucian, and Masonic Movements. This collection reflects
Sibley’s teachings on the practical use of celestial
influences and harmonies. The Clavis contains clear and
systematic instructions for constructing magical tools and
pentacles for many practical purposes. The Mysterious Ring
gives directions for preparing magic rings. Experiments
of the Spirits Birto, Vassago, Agares, and Bealpharos, show
how to call upon angels and spirits, and perform crystal
scrying. The Wheel of Wisdom gives concise directions for
using celestial harmonies. The final text, the Complete
Book of Magic Science, is closely akin to the Secret Grimoire
of Turiel, but more complete. The Manuscript reproduced
here is the most accurate and complete known, very beautifully
and carefully written. With extraordinary hand-colored seals
and colored handwritten text, with the only exception being
the elimination of blank page, resulting in a 282-page,
color copy of the original, marvelous text.

Darksome
Thirst
by Morven Westfield
When Alicia Anderson first became aware of the sentient shadows
in the computer room, she dismissed them as figments of her
overactive imagination. When she found herself tiring a little
too easily, even dozing at the job, she could have attributed
her lethargy to the lateness of the hour - were it not for
the tiny twin bruises on her throat. Newly initiated wiccan
priestess Matricaria has begun to receive psychic messages
- vivid dreams and tarot card readings - that point to a terrible
fate for someone near her. She and her coven attempt to decipher
the symbols, hoping to prevent a tragedy. Soon the lives of
these very different women are drawn together, toward a common
goal: purge the shadows. Paperback, 330 pgs.

Egyptian Magic
by E.A. Wallis Budge
For millennia, Egypt, the dark land, has been considered
the home of magic. The feats of her priests and magicians
were renowned throughout the ancient world, from the simplest
legerdemain (according to present interpretation) to the
heights of necromancy and sorcery. Even their most severe
critics, the ancient Hebrews, admitted the power of Egyptian
magic. In the famous sorcerers` duel between Moses and the
Egyptian priests before Pharaoh, he Egyptians were almost
as skilled as Moses. This well-known study of ancient Egyptian
Magic by E. Wallis Budge, long curator of Egyptian antiquities
at the British Museum, sums up everything that is known
about the wonder-working of ancient Egypt. After a general
discussion of the role of magic in Egyptian religion proper
(to control the gods) Dr. Budge covers the powerful amulets
that warded off evil spirits; the scarabs of immortality;
the use of wax images and spirit placements; magical pictures
and formulas; magic via the secret name; magic of sounds;
rituals; curses; destruction of hostile magic; determination
of fortunate dates; and many of the other practices used
by the ancient Nile dwellers. Dozens of magic formulas are
given in full, both in the original Egyptian sounds, as
far as they can be recreated, and in English; dozens of
excerpts are also given from the magical papyroi, tomb inscriptions,
and other sources. Many wonderful tales are told in these
Egyptian stories; mind control, enforcing will upon animals,
suspended animation, calling up the dead, finding ancient
books of incredible magical power, and other miraculous
events that we may or may not believe.
