A workbook of English Qaballa by Jake
Stratton-Kent, with an introduction by Lon Milo DuQuette and cover
art by Stuart Littlejohn.
The Serpent Tongue: Liber 187 was first
published online in 2000 by Ye Olde Goat’s Shoppe and made
available for personal use only. With the 2008 reappearance of The
Equinox: British Journal of Thelema, in whose earlier incarnation
much of the writing contained herein was first published, and
subsequent renewed interest in the English Qaballa, permissions were
obtained for the publication of a newly revised edition.
The idea that the letters of the
alphabet can be equated to numbers, and that meaningful
correspondences and values can be attained by way of those numbers,
has teased humanity for centuries. Ceremonial magicians appropriated
the Hebrew Kaballah — one of the oldest of such systems — so
long ago that to question its use by non-native Hebrew speakers is
almost a blasphemy, but question it we do. For some of us, finding
meaning in an unfamiliar language has never sat well. Historically
the problem was a lack of any other viable system, in particular one
devised from the English language. With the discovery of the English
Qaballa, that problem was solved.
The subject of an English qaballa is a
controversial one. The idea that a group of English magicians had
discovered a solution to the cipher of chapter 2, verse 76 of Liber
AL: The Book of the Law was met with disbelief and, in some cases,
scorn. The fact of its discovery, however, could not be overlooked.
As more proofs were revealed and a consistent and coherent system of
magick unfolded, the English Qaballa cemented its place in the annals
of occult history. Liber AL’s puzzle may have no singular solution,
and we do not present the English Qaballa as such. All we can claim
is that this solution works.
By publishing The Serpent Tongue we aim
to make public some of the mysteries surrounding the EQ, and to make
the system available to any who would follow this arrangement of the
English alphabet, wherever it might lead.

Previously released as a limited,
handbound edition, The Book of Paramazda resurfaced as an unlimited
paperback. The text is unchanged, and the covers have been stamped
with silver foil, lending this slender book some of the same dignity
as its predecessor.
The Book of Paramazda is a book which
in the last millennium might have been described as a ‘Liber’ in
‘Class A & B’. Rumours of the existence of this cryptic and
beautiful text have long been current in exalted circles; it is now
emerging into the light of day.
The Book of Paramazda is at once a
received book, an enciphered magical system and an apocalyptic vision
of the Aeons. It is also a powerful reforming prophecy concerning
Magicians, Thelemites and Radical Traditionalists alike.
