The Witch as healer is one of the oldest roles in the Craft — older than the physician, older than the apothecary, and rooted in a cosmology far deeper than either.

The companion volume to Troy Books’ acclaimed facsimile edition of The Little Key of Rabbi Solomon, this handwritten manuscript of Raphael/Robert T.

Our modern culture has lost its connection to the death process and to the tools for mourning those that we love. We are left with very little support when going through the dark passage that the death of a loved one brings. This book was created because of the need to remember the old ways where death was honoured, with every part of the process being observed, tended to, and infused with superstition and folk beliefs. People of the past understood things about spirits of the dead that we do not, in modernity.

Of herbs that silence enemies, stones that grant invisibility, and the secret virtues of beasts — The Secrets of Albertus Magnus 1617 is one of the most enchanting compendiums of natural magic from the early modern world, and we are thrilled to bring it back into the light.

Mystic Masonry is J. D. Buck’s bold attempt to restore Freemasonry to its place as a true School of the Mysteries. Rather than tracing lodge histories and quarrels over constitutions, Buck asks what the Craft is really for: what its symbols, rituals and legends reveal about the origin of the soul, the purpose of human life and the “higher evolution of man”.

Behind the veil of ruined temples, Kabbalistic diagrams, alchemical emblems and secret initiations, Eliphas Lévi discerned a single hidden doctrine running like a golden thread through the ages.
