List

FROM THE
PUBLISHER:
This
ancient and once fully developed system of magick, which fused transcendent
rites of evocation and initiation with practical workings for attainment of
wealth and power, languished for several centuries, all but disappearing into
obscurity and existing only in scattered bits and pieces presented in academic
or anthropological studies of ancient religions. A practicing magician, the
author stays close to the original texts from which he draws - while making
changes, additions, and insertions when practically called for. Cecchetelli
understands that the needs of the academic and the needs of the magus are not
always the same and that former scholarly translations were aimed at simple
literal translations. He has the intelligence, wisdom, and daring to alter the
text in accordance with the intended goal: producing a workable grimoire -
suitable for the modern occultist. The Book of Abrasax includes chapters on
spacial, protective, amorous, wealth, curse, and transcendent operations.

List

FROM THE
PUBLISHER:
Published
by Nephilim Press, The Book of Azazel is part magical diary, part how to manual
and all Grimoire. Make no mistake about it this is the real deal and
experienced practitioners will not only appreciate the knowledge contained
within, but find it extremely useful while they walk on their path to occult
power. This book contains the Names, attributes and sigils of 33 demons that
belong to the three houses of Azazel. There is also a powerful summoning right
that when used will allow you to contact these entities. This book is not for
the beginner and rest assured we mean it when we say let the buyer beware.
FROM THE
AUTHOR:
"That which follows is the entirety of
what I learned from the Demon during a ninety-day journey through hell, with
Azazel as my guide. To Azazel... I can only trust that when this work is
completed, he will set me free. Azazel is the embodiment of all that is
forbidden, all that is secret, and all that I would sacrifice everything for.
He called upon me to perform this damnable Operation: to commit myself to Him
entirely, in order to possess all that is His. But fear overtook me. I didn't
feel ready to drink from that cup, and so I drank from many others, flirting
with the power that I knew could only be found in the blackest of rites and
through the most obscene pacts. The Demon's call would not be silenced, and it
forced me out of the serenity of Ascent, leaving me with no choice than to
embrace the power of darkness, in a depth and intensity that I had never before
imagined. The Book of Azazel initially seemed to mark my return to the Left
Hand Path, to the sinister spirituality responsible for catapulting me into the
knowledge and application of my own godhood. As the grimoire unfolded,
day-by-day, what the Demon Azazel revealed to me obliterated every assumption
that I've ever made, and has left me with little else to say. The magnitude of
Azazel's teachings have left me speechless, for the first time in decades. What
is recorded in this book: the rituals, the evocations, and the revelations...
says all that can ever be said, and much, much more. It has also left me with
the conviction that real power - the kind that can crumble nations and raise
empires out of the sand - can only be found in the forbidden, in the demonic,
beyond the horizon of damnation. And so I tremble as I present The Book of
Azazel."

THE BOOK OF COELIUS
By Christopher
Bradford
Paperback:
148 pages
Publisher:
Hadean Press (November 7, 2012)
List
Price: $19.95
FROM THE
PUBLISHER:
The Book
of Coelius, by Christopher Bradford, presents a new system of practical alchemy
rooted in the Western Hermetic Tradition. Kameothic Internal Alchemy is a
distillation of ceremonial, alchemical and African-American conjure magic
utilizing the practical methods of Hoodoo paired with Spagyric Alchemy to
create change in the external world by working upon the individual from the
Outside-In.
While
the system has roots in antiquity, it is a new tradition begun by the author
and his brothers in the Ordo Octopi Nigri Pulveri. This book is the training
manual of that order.
Author
Christopher Bradford covers such topics as the Language of the Birds, the use
of the Picatrix, and describes alchemical tools of his own making, including
the Staff of Imhotep. An explanation of the Spagyric Art as well as ritual practices
and an analysis of Philalethes' Font of Alchemical Truth are only some of the
areas treated in depth and with the excruciating care, one expects from an
active practitioner of alchemy.
Bradford,
himself trained in the Hermetic tradition, offers here an exciting new system
for the practicing magician.

THE
PENTACLES OF SOLOMON
By S.
Aldarnay
Paperback:
110 pages
Publisher:
Hadean Press (October 15, 2012)
List
Price: $16.50
FROM THE
PUBLISHER:
Author
and illustrator S. Aldarnay presents each of the Pentacles given in the Key of
Solomon, redrawn and with explanations of the divine names, the names of
spirits, as well as the vesicles in English, Latin and Hebrew, in an attempt to
make the individual's use of the seals more effective. By presenting the
pentacles in full the author hopes that people will be inclined to experiment
more with them, as the seals are able to bridge the gap between the high magic
of angelic conjuration and divine names, and the folk magic which utilizes
psalms and spiritual assistance for more day to day concerns.

THE STARRY RUBRIC:
Seventeenth-Century English
Astrology and Magic
By Alexander
Cummins
Hardcover:
166 pages
Publisher:
Hadean Press (November 29, 2012)
List
Price: $32.95
FROM THE
PUBLISHER:
Seventeenth-century
England was a turbulent place to live. It was a century of civil wars,
regicide, food riots and plague — a time of millenarian prophets and
threatening witches, of radical sects and experiments in Commonwealth.
It was a
revolutionary period. The lifting of printing press censorships created a
veritable explosion of printed materials: from popular almanacs and calendars
to handbooks of do-it yourself medicine, from vulgate Bibles to tomes of new,
investigative natural philosophy and grimoires of occult science and ritual
magic.
In the
midst of all this, the astrologer-magicians of seventeenth-century England drew
their charts of the heavens, divining answers and prescribing magical
medicines.
In The
Starry Rubric, Alexander Cummins shows how astrology and magic offered
analysis, interpretation, and solutions — locating humanity in a shifting web
of interrelation with the stars and, indeed, the cosmos as a whole. Through
analysis and example, Cummins demonstrates the ways in which astrology and
magic were crucial to early modern perspectives on human life, time, and
meaning.
Alexander
Cummins obtained his undergraduate and master’s degrees in History at the
University of Leeds. He is currently conducting his doctoral research into
early modern magic and the emotions, as well as teaching at the University of
Bristol.
He is
Head of the Department of Historical Magic at Arcanorium College, as well as a
published performance poet who runs creative writing workshops around the UK.
He has written on topics ranging from 2012-centred apocalypse narratives to
histories and philosophies of the cut-up technique.
