ALEISTER CROWLEY AND THE HIDDEN GOD
By Kenneth Grant
Starfire
Publishing
List Price:
$59.95
FROM THE
PUBLSHER:
The republishing
of the Typhonian Trilogies continues with the second volume in the series,
Aleister Crowley and the Hidden God, first published by Muller in 1973 and
subsequently reissued by Skoob Publishing in 1992. This new edition of 1500
copies is freshly typeset in an octavo format of 253 pages. Sewnbound hardback,
with a frontispiece, a twenty-page section of plates, illustrated endpapers and
a full-colour dustjacket, this republication integrates the errata from the
Skoob edition within the text, and incorporates further corrections noted
subsequently in Kenneth Grant's personal copy of the book. Where possible,
plates have been rephotographed, and some are presented in colour. There are
also some new plates included by Steffi Grant.
MORE INFO:
Aleister Crowley
vowed to free man from bondage by showing him how to invoke his latent genius ─
the Hidden God. It is characteristic of Crowley that to this end he utilised
the mysterious energies of sex: the most potent, most obsessive of man’s
illusions which, if used unintelligently, strengthens the false sense of
individual existence that divorces him from the fullness of cosmic
consciousness.
Aleister Crowley
and the Hidden God is an exhaustive and critical study of Crowley’s system of
sexual magick and the strange rites which he practised and advocated for the
purpose of promoting the Law of Freedom with its formula of “Love under Will”.
The book reveals the occult workings of the Fire Snake or Kundalini-Goddess,
the cosmic power in man which, when awakened by magical means, assumes an
external form identified by Crowley as the Scarlet Woman, she who influences
the secret power-zones in the body of man and invokes the Hidden God.
Here Kenneth
Grant also describes a method of dream control involving the use of the
Ophidian Current transmitted by Crowley, Spare, Fortune, Grosche, and others.
Its object is to establish contact with extra-terrestrial and non-human beings
with the ultimate purpose of transcending the limitations of personality and of
realising cosmic consciousness, thus fulfilling the magical formula of the New
Aeon.

CONJURE CODEX 2By Jake Stratton-Kent
(Editor), Dis Albion (Editor), Erzebet Carr (Editor)
Paperback: 200
pages
Publisher:
Hadean Press; annotated edition edition (April 19, 2013)
List Price:
$38.95
FROM THE
PUBLISHER:
The practice of
spirit conjuration has thrived since humanity first experienced and sought to
work with the natural forces of the seen and unseen worlds. It remains to this
day as a living tradition among many modern cultures, while in others
conjuration has been equated with 'the devil's work' or sidelined into the
realm of the incredulous, viewed with superstition and disdain. Misconceptions
abound, in part because the reality of spirit conjuration is often as obscured
as are the spirits themselves.
CONJURE CODEX breaks new ground in presenting
inter-related material from a range of traditions, embracing ancient cultures,
the grimoires, New World traditions and others; by publishing new translations
and rare texts alongside accounts of work in these traditions, and elucidations
of them. In this issue is found an introduction to Betel of the Grimoire of
Armadel, a treatise on the three purifying herbs of the True Grimoire, an
account of Jesus Malverde, an annotated version of the Testament of Solomon,
the love spells of the Petit Albert, and more.
The enclosed
articles do double duty; they are sufficient unto themselves while providing
insights relating to wider topics. Susanne Iles elucidates the Grimoire of
Armadel, an important text for which Mathers only consulted one manuscript.
Here Susanne explains the omissions in the published text; note too, the
importance of the ‘First Character’ to the ritual process, mirroring the True
Grimoire. Alexander Cummins, writing on the purifying herbs of the latter
grimoire, demonstrates further inter-relatedness while his articulate
commentary sets a benchmark for other authors. The blue grimoires, wrongly
neglected by a previous generation of occultists, receive ample attention in
this issue, with material relating to both the Petit Albert and Saint Cyprian.
Two articles in this collection depict the quandary of urban magicians,
offering solutions and implications. Meanwhile, the New World traditions are
amply served by an account of Jesus Malverde, the so-called ‘narco saint’, and
new magics are served by Kent Cockerell’s tale of cutting out deadweight, and
what can grow when we do. Finally, the ancient roots of Western magic are
represented by a readable and briefly commented version of the Testament of
Solomon. This foundation text of Solomonic magic, a major portion of Western
magic in general, is important in many respects; its C6th roots demonstrate the
critical role of the ancient synthesis in shaping Western magic.

THE TRIBE OF WITCHES:
The Religion of the Dobunni and Hwicce
By Stephen Yeates
Paperback: 160
pages
Publisher: Oxbow
Books (June 1, 2008)
List Price:
$29.95
FROM THE
PUBLISHER:
Until now the
old religions of Britain have only been looked at in a piecemeal way. This book
presents a detailed and focused investigation of the religion of the Dobunni
and the Hwicce peoples who occupied the Severn valley and the Cotswolds
immediately before and after the Roman occupation. It uncovers some secrets of
the old religion of Britain that have lain hidden in reams of unconnected and
largely forgotten information, from a variety of sources. The first part of the
book concerns the deification of the natural world; the second, the deities of
the tribal groups.
It explores the
deities of the different areas of the Dobunnic/Hwiccan territory; identifying
the goddess of the Cotswolds, and describes how the worship manifested itself.
Yeates
demonstrates how the deification of rivers was important and how this has led
to the location of a number of ancient river shrines as well as the
identification of a number of monumental arrangements used by the peoples in
their religious activities and folk-group identity; numerous recognisably
pre-Old English folk-names are also shown to relate specifically to
river-names, town-names, and folk-group-names. The religious use of the
hill-forts, of which there are so many dotted over the landscape, and their
shrines is discussed. These are connected with mineral extraction, warfare,
nemetons, and sacred groves. The use for standing totems and burial practices
is also covered.
Once the
associations are made between deity, river, and folk-group, and all other
aspects of religion have been discussed the deity who resided over the Dobunni
is revealed. Her cult, which was evident in the major Roman towns, can be
traced back into the Iron Age, and can be identified as the inspiration for the
tribal name Hwicce.
This shows an
element of continuity in British culture, not recognised previously because of
the assumed obliteration of British culture due to the extent, success, and
longevity of the Roman occupation and Anglo-Saxon migration. Understanding the
tribal goddess also explains why this people were "the tribe of
witches". Finally, it is recognised that these gods did not perish but
persisted in medieval legends, traditions and place-names. Although at its core
this is a study of two British tribes, the work will have a major impact on the
understanding of pre-Christian religion not only in Britain but also in Western
Europe generally.

A DREAMING FOR THE WITCHES:
Recreation of the Dobunni Primal Myth
By Stephen Yeates
Paperback: 200
pages
Publisher: Oxbow
Books (August 30, 2009)
List Price: $29.95
FROM THE
PUBLISHER:
In The Tribe of
Witches, a wide-ranging theoretical framework for understanding the major cults
worshipped amongst the Iron-Age tribal group called the Dobunni, later known as
the Hwicce, was put forward. Towards the end of that volume, the mother goddess
of the Dobunni was introduced.
In A Dreaming
for the Witches, the cults that worshipped the tribal deities are explored more
fully. The surviving textual data and archaeological material are reviewed, and
what we know of the Dobunni pantheon, using predominantly Welsh sources placed
in a wider European context, is discussed.
The Roman period
process of interpretatio is explored, along with European traditions of
mythical animals and plants which created our underlying cultural tales and
traditions. The Tribe introduced the Matrona of the Dobunni; this work gets to
grips with the tribal father. The sacred landscapes accounted for by Nennius
are investigated, and the mythical landscape around Gloucester revealed.
Finally, a discussion is put forward which places the cults of the Dobunni at
the heart of the Christian grail myths.

PAIN AND FAITH IN A WICCAN WORLD

pages
Publisher:
Megalithica Books; First edition (February 1, 2013)
List Price: $20.99
FROM THE
PUBLISHER:
Pain and Faith
in a Wiccan World: Spirituality, Ethics and Transformation fuses spirituality
and counseling concepts to add a deeper layer of personal growth and connection
to living the Wiccan path. This book looks beyond the concepts of ritual and
reaches into previously untouched territory within the Pagan book market to
address thriving as a Pagan.
How important
will it be for us to identify coping skills that aid in living as a Pagan while
surviving the traumas that can be debilitating? How do we support a fellow
Pagan in growing beyond circumstances in a way that maintains spiritual values and
integrity? What are spiritual values and integrity? These are all questions
that are crucial in the path of self discovery, growing as a spiritual being,
identifying with living as a Pagan and using our pain as a stepping stone to
true enlightenment and connection with the Gods. This book gives personal
insight into spiritual development and building tools to support others who are
experiencing similar circumstances as well. This is a human issue book that
addresses the needs of all levels of training.
Too often we
focus on the actions of Wicca or Paganism and not the actual living as a Pagan
through various pains of life.

"I've been
reading Tarot for more than thirty years, and reading professionally at the
Edge for a decade. My belief is that Tarot is best used for putting you in
touch with your own subconscious, allowing you to make healthy decisions that
can change your life for the better. My readings tend to be rather
commonsensical. They are often geared toward helping the client deal with the
often self-imposed obstacles in their lives in a healthy, self –affirming way,
so that they can achieve their goals and fully enjoy the fruits that life has
to bring."
