HEAVEN'S BRIDE:
THE UNPRINTABLE LIFE OF IDA C. CRADDOCK,
AMERICAN MYSTIC, SCHOLAR, SEXOLOGIST,
MARTYR, AND MADWOMAN
Leigh Eric Schmidt
Hardcover: 352 pages
Publisher: Basic Books (December 7, 2010)
List Price: $28.95
BOOK BLURB:
The nineteenth-century eccentric Ida C. Craddock was by turns a secular freethinker, a religious visionary, a civil-liberties advocate, and a resolute defender of belly-dancing. Arrested and tried repeatedly on obscenity charges, she was deemed a danger to public morality for her candor about sexuality. By the end of her life Craddock, the nemesis of the notorious vice crusader Anthony Comstock, had become a favorite of free-speech defenders and women’s rights activists. She soon became as well the case-history darling of one of America’s earliest and most determined Freudians.
In Heaven’s Bride, prize-winning historian Leigh Eric Schmidt offers a rich biography of this forgotten mystic, who occupied the seemingly incongruous roles of yoga priestess, suppressed sexologist, and suspected madwoman. In Schmidt’s evocative telling, Craddock’s story reveals the beginning of the end of Christian America, a harbinger of spiritual variety and sexual revolution.

DECODING THE ENOCHIAN SECRETS:
GODS MOST HOLY BOOK TO MANKIND AS RECEIVED BY DR. JOHN DEE FROM ANGELIC MESSENGERS
By John DeSalvo Ph.D.
Hardcover: 240 pages
Publisher: Destiny Books (December 21, 2010)
List Price: $19.95
BOOK BLURB:
The ultimate source text
of Enochian Magic never
before available in book form.
• Contains the actual and complete Tables of Enoch given to Dr. John Dee by the Angels
• Explains the difference between Dee’s Tables of Enoch and the apocryphal Book of Enoch
• Includes directions for powerful magic rituals and meditations using these tables
• Presents a reconstruction of the possible 49th missing Table of Enoch
Originally considered a vital part of inspirational literature used by the early church, the Book of Enoch never made it into the cannon or accepted books of the Old Testament because of its strange and mysterious content about Enoch’s experiences in the higher realms, or heavens. The real Book of Enoch, which is a set of almost 100 mystical tables, was given again to humankind in the 1580s, when it was conveyed directly by angels to Dr. John Dee, a 16th-century mathematician, scientist, occultist, and the astrologer of Queen Elizabeth I. Called “the most important book ever given to man by God” by Dee’s angelic messengers, the Book (or Tables) of Enoch is said to hold all the secrets of heaven and earth and the physical and spiritual realms.
Decoding the Enochian Secrets reproduces for the first time ever the exact and complete copy of these tables, which are housed in the British Library. The tables are written in the handwriting of Dr. Dee and Edward Kelly, Dee’s assistant and scryer. The tables also include the phonetic pronunciations, written by Dee in the margins, of all the magical Enochian Calls. Covering the history of this Book or Tables of Enoch, John DeSalvo explains the difference between these tables and the apocryphal Book of Enoch and examines how later magicians such as Aleister Crowley used them. Including Enochian Magic Meditations and rituals, Decoding the Enochian Secrets presents the source text to the most powerful form of magic known to mankind.

ANCIENT MYSTERIES / MAGIC
“John DeSalvo’s work is truly a significant contribution to our understanding of Dee and Kelley’s amazing experiences.”
--Lon Milo DuQuette, author of Enochian Vision Magick
“Dr. John Dee played a major role in world history. The highly influential ‘Enochian’ system of magic originated in his mystical experiments. Yet the centerpiece of his system has never before been published--a book that Dee clearly regarded as a monumental gift from God to humanity, communicated through his angels. Definitely recommended.”
--Joseph Peterson, author of John Dee’s Five Books of Mystery
