The
Goetia of Dr. Rudd (hc)
by Stephen Skinner & David Rankine
The Goetia
is the most famous grimoire after the Key of Solomon. This
volume contains a transcription of a hitherto unpublished
manuscript of the Lemegeton, which includes four whole Grimoires:
Liber Malorum Spituum seu Goetia,Theurgia-Goetia,Ars Paulina
(books 1 and 2), and Ars Almadel.This 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 practicing
magicians in the 16th and 17th century, before the knowledge
of practical magic faded into obscurity.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 invocation 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 "Shemhamphorash" 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 special
dual seals incorporating those necessary controlling angel,
whose name is also engraved on the breastplate and Brass Vessel.
This is a 448-page hardcover book.

The
Grimoire of St. Cyprian Clavis Inferni (hc)
by Stephen Skinner & David Rankine
There
have been many grimoires attributed to St. Cyprian of Antioch
due to his reputation as a consummate magician before his
conversion to Christianity, but perhaps none so intriguing
as the present unique manuscript. It is highly unlikely that
the text is by the historical St Cyprian, but this does to
detract from its extraordinary contents. This manuscript (unlike
the more rustic Black Books of Wittenburg as found in Scandinavia,
or the rather Catholic texts disseminated under his name in
both Spain and Portugal) is directly in line with the Solomonic
tradition, deriving input from the Heptameron, the Faust books
of Germany, and the Goetia. It is therefore very relevant
to our present series of Source works of Ceremonial Magic.
It is unique in that instead of being weighed down with many
prayers and conjurations, it addresses the summoning and use
of both the four Archangels, Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, and
Uriel, a swell as their opposite numbers, the four Demon Kings,
Paymon, Maimon, Egyn, and Oracus (Oriens) in a very direct
way. The later are drawn in t heir animal and human forms
along with their sigils, a resource unique amongst grimoires.
Metatron appears as an even more powerful archangel than the
usual four. The text is in a mixture of three magical scripts,
Greek, Hebrew, cipher, Latin, and reversed Latin with may
contractions and short forms, but these are expanded and made
plain by the editors. The title of the manuscript, Clavis
Inferni sive magia alba et nigra approbata metratona, literally
means "The Key of Hell with white and black magic as
proven by Metatron." This wonderful, rare resource is
a 96-page hard cover book.

Grimoire
of the Necronomicon
by Donald Tyson
On the
heels of his widely successful trilogy of works honoring H.
P. Lovecraft, Donald Tyson now unveils a true grimoire of
ritual magic inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos. The Grimoire
of the Necronomicon is a practical system of ritual magic
based on Lovecraft's mythology of the alien gods known as
the Old Ones. Fans of Lovecraft now have the opportunity to
reliably and safely get in touch with the Old Ones and draw
upon their power for spiritual and material advancement. Tyson
expands upon the Old Ones' mythology and reintroduces these
"monsters" in a new, magical context - explaining
their true purpose for our planet. As a disciple, you choose
one of the seven lords as a spiritual mentor who will guide
you toward personal transformation. Grimoire of the Necronomicon
features ritual forms and invocations for the daily and yearly
rites of the Old Ones, individual rituals devoted to each
of the seven major figures of the mythos, and most importantly,
a grand ritual for personal attainment. The daily rituals
provide an excellent system of esoteric training for individual
practitioners. This grimoire also provides structure for an
esoteric society - Order of the Old Ones - devoted to the
group practice of this unique system of magic. This is a 194-page
trade softcover book.

Kahuna
Power
by Timothy Green Beckley
You can
learn the magical ways of the Kahuna So powerful are their
supernatural powers that it is said they can bring back the
dead! Twenty odd years ago, paranormalist Timothy Green Beckley
toured the Hawaiian islands to seek out answers to their deepest
mysteries. He spoke with the native Hawaiians about phantom
animals, supernatural powers, the existence of invisible beings,
helpful spooks, playful spirits, the volcano Goddess Pele
who appears in physical form before an eruption, as well as
the local version of UFOs or ghost lights. Now, after a second
trip to the Islands, an updated version of Kahuna Power is
being made available to those who wish to enter a seldom-glimpsed
society and to understand a spiritual system that is still
virtually unknown to the outside world. By practicing the
ancient occult art of Kahuna Magic, it is said that an individual
can attract good health, love, self-esteem, power and enjoy
the best things in life.

The
Key of Solomon the King
by S L MacGregor Mathers (pub. Dover)
How to
make a magic carpet, become invisible, and find love are among
the useful procedures detailed in this famous book of magic.
Reputedly written by King Solomon himself, this major text
of Western ritual magic contains chants, prayers, and instructions
(both general and specific), on trafficking with the spirit
world. Editor and translator S.L. MacGregor Mathers was a
leader of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, an influential
group of magicians and mystics whose members included Arthur
Machen, W.B. Yeats, and Evelyn Underhill. MacGregor Mathers
based this extraordinary book on seven manuscripts from the
British Museum’s collections. Its formulas for conjuring
up spirits and performing rituals offer a rich source of study
for students of comparative religion, psychology, and the
history of ideas. For working occultists, this classic provides
a valuable and important guide to the execution of magical
ceremonies.

The
Key of Solomon the King
by S.L. MacGregor Mathers
The Key of Solomon is the most famous, or infamous, of magical
textbooks. Although the grimoire is of unknown origin, Mathers,
who prepared this edition from seven manuscripts in the British
Museum, believed it was written by King Solomon. The King instructs
his disciples in incantations that summon and master the spirits.
The process of summoning these beings illustrates the extraordinary
complexity of Western ritual magic - choosing a time and place;
preliminary prayers; fasting and preparations; as well as the
need for magical equipment, robes, and trappings. Included in
this edition is a new foreword by R.A. Gilbert, esoteric scholar
and antiquarian bookseller. Gilbert highlights the importance
of the Key as a primary source for those interested in Western
ritual magic, as well as the historical background and contemporary
magical contexts of Mather`s editorial work and commentary.

The
Lost Art of Enochian Magic (Includes CD)
by John DeSalvo
Enochian Magic is a powerful, ancient system for opening portals
to heavenly realms and enabling the ascent to God. The basis
for many of the modern systems of magic, including the Golden
Dawn, Enochian magic is named after the biblical prophet Enoch.
Enoch received the same knowledge and wisdom that was later
conveyed by angels in the 16th century to Dr. John Dee, the
astrologer to the court of Queen Elizabeth I. In The Lost
Art of Enochian Magic John DeSalvo traces the history of magic,
from the earliest civilizations of the Akkadians and Egyptians
through the Greco-Roman period, and up to the present time,
to reveal how magic has penetrated and influenced our religious
beliefs and practices today. Through his unprecedented investigation
into the angelic magic of Dr. John Dee, during which time
he deciphered Dee`s original phonetic notations in the margins
of Dee`s 16th-century diaries, Desalvo learned to properly
reproduce the "Enochian calls," which act like mantras
in opening higher realms and invoking angels, key to this
type of magical practice. DeSalvo shows how to use Enochian
magic for personal spiritual development and also as protection
from negative energies. In addition to providing detailed
instructions for performing the magical meditations, this
book include a 20-minute cd that demonstrates and offers guidance
in the correct pronunciation of the Enochian calls used in
the practice of Enochian magic. This is a 202 page soft cover
book that comes with a 20-minute CD.
