The Afflicted Mirror
A shared feature of genuine magical practice and religious experience is the impression of ‘Otherness’, an entic arena of alienation and unfamiliarity. Contrasted with the more comfortable and known spheres of the Self, this ‘state apart’ provides not only inspiration and wonder, it is the dwelling-place of the gods and the prime source of gnosis, direct experience with the divine.
Vestigia Ater Draconis
Vestigia Ater Draconis is comprised of a 52 stanza incantation reifying the initiatory path issued from the auspice of the sinistral horn, scribed by Peter Hamilton-Giles. Each stanza is paired with an emission of imagic intent wrought by the hand of Carolyn Hamilton-Giles.
Ritual Space and the Crooked Path Beyond Volume 2
Volume 2 of Ritual Space and the Crooked Path Beyond contends absence has a causal effect on how a ritual space is constructed.
Codex Ad Limina
Codex Ad Limina marks a further expansion of themes addressed in Volume 2 of Book of the Black Dragon. In this volume the author delves into the role the Black Bull has as a totem for the sinistral horn daemon emissary.
Ritual Space and the Crooked Path Beyond: Volume 1
The topic of ritual space is something that many of us are involved with, we may feel entrenched, or that we have succumbed to unspoken forces, we may on the other hand use it to express belonging while at the same time propitiating our sense of Otherness, and yet dynamics informing how we apprehend ritual space have for the most part gone unnoticed.
The Baron Citadel
The Baron Citadel sets out preparatory rituals leading up to the making of the Crossroads. Unlike any other working text, this grimoire also engages with introspective contours for optimising successive ambulatory steps across various stakes (points).
Book of the Black Dragon Vol. 2: The Headless One
Taking the idea of absence as discussed in previous volumes, the point for this volume focusses on the sinistral horn, this being the left horn of the Black Dragon. Returning then to similar themes mentioned in Volume 1, having already addressed the notion of the ritual ground as defined by Codex Althaeban Malik, allows the Headless One to pursue the idea of becoming detached.
Codex Althaeban Malik
Codex Althaeban Malik is perhaps considered the most complicated book in the Black Dragon series so far. It addresses three primary issues, the idea of the Proklosis Ring as the open ground, the distribution of the first sorcerer’s name upon the ground as an emblem of intent, and the extending of points by using each letter to traverse lines of intersection as a way of communicating with the shadow of ourselves Althaeban Malik.
Book of the Black Dragon Volume 1
Setting the stage for the Black Dragon began by discussing the context in which the Black Dragon is encountered. Using the same schema as the one used in the Dragon Book of Essex, the written word moves across ‘power’ points or crossroads, these being body parts of the Black Dragon.
Standing at the Crossroads
Truth is based on censoring that which might undermine alternative rationales, and so it is with how the existential witch has been accommodated by practitioners as the icon for folk based practices.
The Witching-Other
To propose there is something ‘other’ to the witch might seem counter-intuitive, especially so since conjugating the witch into witching suggests particular agentive actions and decisions have already been made about the topic.
The Two Antichrists
The Two Antichrists is a monograph on the figure of Antichrist in a post-Christian and progressive Thelemic context.
The Red Goddess
The Red Goddess is an ecstatic journey through the history of Babalon, the goddess of Revelation, a provocative vision of a very modern goddess coming into power. From the Revelation of St John the Divine, back through the Ishtar Gate and forward into a living modern magical current. This is more than a history, it is a passionate account of living magic and the transcendent power of Love.
Lucifer: Princeps
Peter Grey’s Lucifer: Princeps is a seminal study on the origins of Lucifer and the fallen angels, the foundation myth of the Western occult tradition.
Apocalyptic Witchcraft
In Apocalyptic Witchcraft, Peter Grey gives a compelling account of the Sabbat and Wild Hunt as living experiences. The wolf, the devil, and the goddess of witchcraft are encountered in a haunted and scarred land.
The Moon and the Priestess
The Moon & The Priestess is an analysis of the Tarot deck through the lens of Jungian psychology, specifically Carl Jung’s theory of ‘Archetypes,’ and sets out a path for reimagining the Tarot to access the creative unconscious. Using and understanding Tarot’s archetypes allows you to work with unconscious material, opening your potential for personal and artistic development.
Tara Morgana
Tara Morgana is a work of pure magical writing. Part magical diary, part dreamscape, part dérive, Tara Morgana is an enigmatic record of ritual practice from poet Paul Holman.
Babalon and Other Plays
Babalon and Other Plays comprises ten works by Paul A. Green, written and performed from 1972 to 2005. The plays provide a crawling map of the modern occult, written by an insider who charts one of its most febrile periods.
Covensense
In her latest book, Patricia Crowther explores some of the many questions she has been asked over almost fifty years as an initiate of the craft and a high priestess of the Great Goddess. 'What is a witch's ladder?', 'Why is the left hand associated with the devil?', 'Is it true that only a young woman can become a high priestess?' are just some of the questions addressed in these pages.
From Stagecraft to Witchcraft
Patricia tells of her early years, her successful stage career throughout the UK, her marriage to Arnold Crowther with whom she worked in entertainment and magic and her friendship with Gerald Gardner, the leading figure in the renaissance of modern Witchcraft which led her to become know world-wide as a leading light in present-day Witchcraft, having led the Sheffield Coven for 40 years.
