“Within the darkness of the Abyss, lies the whispered chant of the Blackened Serpent…”
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
Through the sacrifice of blood and
libations, the Blackened Serpent is called forth to guide the
Initiate deep within themselves, to descend into the spiraling
labyrinths of primordial sub-consciousness only discovered within the
power zones of Chaos itself. The Serpent speaks of ancient wisdom
through its writhing dance of ancestral rites…rites laced with
carnal lust and shattered sanity.

This transcendence of limitation,
connects the Black Magician with the concealed regions of the Astral
Plane, where the psyche is transformed into a representation of the
Blackened Serpent itself, thus self sustaining through the creation
of a universe in the deepest recesses of the human mind. At the core
of this sinister process, the Black Magician begins to crystallize
and perceive his own true essence, which is in itself, the center of
the inextinguishable Black Flame of Chaos manifest…

It is by true Intent alone, that the
Initiate is able to traverse the hardened and lonesome path of
illumination that lies in still darkness. It is by sheer
determination and want of truth that empowers the Black Magician to
explore the inner realms of self, which lie inside the mind and
spirit.

Within this dark anthology, one will
find a collection of the many teachings of the Blackened Serpent, as
can only be told by true practitioners of the LHP. These teachings
take many forms, each unique to the Black Magician revealing their
own hard and personal lesson…on the winding path of Midnight’s
Serpent…
“The Blackened Serpent lies coiled
inside, ready to strike with deadly accuracy; the ignorance of the
Initiate who wanders careless. If one is to walk this perilous path,
it is best done with a sharp intuition and mind alike. For if this
warning is not headed; Midnight’s Serpent will most certainly
consume one from within…”

THE ANGEL & THE ABYSS
The Inward Journey, Books II &
III
By J. Daniel Gunther
Hardcover: 320 pages
Publisher: Ibis Press (October 1, 2014)
List Price: $40.00
A guide to the Great Work,
Initiation, and Spiritual Evolution as taught by Aleister Crowley
Offers insights into the oral
instructions of the modern A.’.A.’.
An examination of the more advanced
Mysteries of Initiation.
The long awaited follow-up to the
author’s ground breaking first book, Initiation in the Aeon of the
Child.
In this companion to Initiation in the
Aeon of the Child, author J. Daniel Gunther provides detailed and
cohesive analysis of the two major spiritual crises in the career of
the aspirant in the Aeon of the Child—the Knowledge &
Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel and the Crossing the Abyss
between the divine realms and the human. Expounding on the sublime
Formulas of Initiation confronting those who would aspire to these
Mysteries, the author draws deeply from Jungian psychology, world
mythology and religion, and the doctrines of the classic Mystery
traditions, explaining how the revelations of Thelema apply to the
individual.
In 1904, The Book of the Law declared
the advent of a new period in the course of human history—the Aeon
of Horus or Aeon of the Child. The doctrine codified in the Book of
the Law, and numerous other Holy Books, is known as Thelema (a Greek
word meaning “Will”). Aleister Crowley was revealed as the
Prophet of the New Aeon.
The Angel & The Abyss is written in
clear, precise language that will aid those students who seek to
navigate the difficult terrain of this advanced stage of the
Spiritual quest. More knowledgeable students will find tantalizing
clues to serve as guideposts and eventual confirmations of their
direct experience.
The book offers copious illustrations
(some in full color) and numerous diagrams. It features detailed
references that encompass ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic texts, the
Old and New Testaments, the Apocrypha, Greek Philosophy, Alchemy,
Hermetic Qabalah, and Tarot, as well as the writings of Carl Jung,
Eric Neumann. and Aleister Crowley.
About the Author
J. Daniel Gunther is a life-long
student of esotericism, mythology, and religion. For over thirty
years a member of A∴A∴, the teaching Order established by
Aleister Crowley, he is considered one of the foremost authorities in
the field, and serves on the editorial board of The Equinox, and as a
consultant and advisor for numerous occult publications. He is the
author of the Ibis Press title, Initiation in the Aeon of the Child,
now available in paperback, and has lectured worldwide on the
doctrines of Thelema.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:
Since 2010, this unique calendar
project has shared photos, news clips and quotes from Gerald B.
Gardner (GBG), Doreen Valiente, Patricia Crowther, Eleanor Bone,
Monique Wilson, Lois Bourne, Barbara Vickers, Edith Woodford-Grimes
and others, covering over six decades of Craft history.
As something special for 2015 you may
find some photos you have not seen before. None of the images repeat
photos or articles used in previous GBG "Year and a Day"
Calendars.
This year includes Edith
Woodford-Grimes, the witch who first introduced Gerald Gardner to the
Coven into which he was initiated. Dafo, a nickname which Gerald
used fondly for Edith, was part of the Rosicrucian Theatre group near
the New Forest, where Gerald made many discoveries that eventually
brought him into the "Witch Cult." As Dafo touched
Gerald's life, she in turn has also touched all of our lives too, and
for that we honor her!
Special thanks to Philip Heselton for
making several photos of Dafo and Gerald available, and to the Doreen
Valiente Foundation as well for their support of this calendar
project.
Hundreds of Pagan Feast Days are
included from cultures around the world to help tailor your own
rituals, learn more about specific deities, or to better sense the
unique energies of that day. Full and New Moons are also shown,
including the Zodiac sign where the Moon is for that day.
