EDGE OF THE CIRCLE BOOKS IS PROUD TO
PRESENT
THESE NEW COLLECTIBLE TITLES:
NIGHTSIDE OF EDEN
By Kenneth Grant
London: Starfire Publishing,
2014. Limited Edition. A FINE COPY. A new and enhanced cloth edition, sewn, in
dust jacket, matching the previous volumes in the series. Twenty pages of
plates, including many in color, and several of these were not in previous
editions, but have only recently emerged from private collections.
Frontispiece. London: Starfire Publishing, 2014. Limited Edition. Two very
special works aided the preparation of this edition by Michael Staley. First,
Kenneth Grant’s personal, annotated copy of the Muller edition of NIGHTSIDE was
borrowed in order to create this new definitive edition. Also, there was the
most helpful loan of the author's original carbon of the typescript, which has
proven useful in resolving some queries. As per usual, the work has been
re-set, corrected, and indexed. 302 pages. Octavo.
List Price: $59.95
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
“The republishing of the
Typhonian Trilogies continues with the release in March 2014 of the fourth
volume in the series, Nightside of Eden, which opens the second of the three
trilogies. Originally published by Muller in 1977, it was subsequently reissued
by Skoob Publishing in 1994. This new edition of 1500 copies is freshly typeset
in an octavo format of 316 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. Many of the plates have been
rephotographed, and some are printed in colour.”
“There exists a map of
consciousness, with its light and dark byways, in the form of a Qabalistic
glyph known as the Tree of Life. It has its roots in the primal earth of Eden,
but its branches extend into extra-terrestrial dimensions. This Tree, which is a
familiar concept to mystics and magicians alike, has another side, a nightside
which receives but passing mention in contemporary manuals of occultism; as if
the ancient writings of the Arabs and Jews contained allusions to mere figures
of speech and monstrous fancies.
Nightside of Eden interprets
the symbolism of the Tree of Death, the ‘other’ side of the Tree of Life which
forms the basis of the Western Occult Tradition. Kenneth Grant, whose Typhonian
Trilogies have infused new life and meaning into ancient and forgotten
mysteries, here provides an exhaustive survey of the other side of the Tree,
haunted by dark forces that are today seeping insidiously into human
consciousness and threatening it with violent disruption. The creative magical
current represented by Aleister Crowley, Charles Stansfeld Jones, Austin Osman
Spare, and in our day by Michael Bertiaux, Margaret Cook, and others, is here
traced to its source in the formless voids beyond the threshold of mentation.
Nightside of Eden is an explication
of the Cult of Choronzon and an initiated exposition of the Mysteries of the
Left-Hand Path in relation to Western Occultism. Here, for the first time, the
head of a genuine Magical Organization reveals the esoteric doctrines of the
‘black’ magic of the Left-Hand Path, as well as the practical application of
psycho-sexual formulae of which very little is generally known.
The book is illustrated not
only with the demonic sigils of the ‘other side’, which make of it a grimoire
of the Dark Doctrine, but also by curious works of siderealism, or stellar art,
sprung from the New Aeon consciousness which permeates those occult Orders
working in harmony with the Typhonian Tradition.”

THE BOOK OF SMOKELESS FIRE
By S. Ben Qayin, Preface by Robert
Podgurski
np. [South Carolina]: Nephilim
Press, 2014. First Edition Hardcover. Octavo. [iv] + 190pp. Black faux leather
boards elaborately embellished in copper on front board. Edition limited to 500
hand numbered copies. Cloth book marker. Pictorial endpapers. B/w illustrations
by Robert Cook. Preface by Robert Podgurski, author of "The Sacred
Alignments & Dark Side of Sigils." “The Book of Smokeless Fire”
describes a ritual practice drawn from a little known Solomonic text known as
"Miscelaneo de Salomon", (published in English under the title
"Book of Deadly Names") which apparently "gives the earliest
known account of King Solomon and his binding of the seventy-two sinister
Djinn" that later evolved into the "Goetia." S. Ben Qayin has
used modern techniques of magickal evocation to rework the material in this
ancient text so as to present an innovative and "fully workable"
system of magick. In the process, he also explores the similarities between the
"Miscelaneo de Salomon" and Lovecraft's "Necronomicon." NEW
book in Fine condition. (No dust jacket issued.)
List Price: $52.95
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
"The work that is being
presented in “The Book of Smokeless Fire” is based on a very little known and
overlooked Solomonic text simply known as “Miscelaneo de Salomon”, which
amazingly mirrors that of Lovecraft’s, “Necronomicon” both in content and
history. It is an ancient and forbidden Arabian manuscript, that seems was
later evolved into the Greek “Goetia” and gives the earliest known account of
King Solomon and his binding of the seventy-two sinister Djinn he sealed away
in the infamous brass container.
In “The Book of Smokeless
Fire”, the ancient manuscript has now been reworked into a completely new
system, utilizing revolutionary evocation technology, to again call upon the
ancient and destructive Djinn, whose names have been concealed for
centuries…"
Author S. Ben Qayin has outdone
himself with this stunning interpretation and cohesive reworking of a long lost
magickal discipline. The Book of Smokeless Fire is over 190 pages of pure
magickal knowledge laid out in an easy to read format that really flows. With
no fluff, filler, and no nonsense, Qayin manages to take what some have dabbled
in and written about in the past and open it up into a fully workable system of
magick.
This book of smokeless fire is
limited to 500 hand numbered copies.
