AHA !
The Sevenfold Mystery of
the Ineffable Love
By Aleister Crowley,
Israel Regardie, Frater Achad, J. Daniel Gunther, James Wasserman
Publisher: New Falcon Publications, October, 2014
112 pages, Paperback
List Price:$21.95
FROM
THE PUBLISHER:
Aleister
Crowley considered AHA! “my greatest magical poem.”
This
profoundly esoteric work highlights the two central experiences of
the Path of the Wise—the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy
Guardian Angel and the Crossing of the Abyss. It also marks Crowley’s
final acceptance of the mysteries of The Book of the Law, and offers
his overview of Initiation and the techniques by which Spiritual
Enlightenment may be achieved. This expanded edition features a new
analysis by esoteric teacher and author, J. Daniel Gunther, who
provides Qabalistic insights into the poem’s extraordinary depth.
James Wasserman, a well known writer and student of Crowley, has
expanded upon the myth of Marsyas and Olympas, while placing AHA!
within the context of Crowley’s overall life and teaching. Frater
Achad, one of Crowley’s most important early disciples, wrote an
excellent but little-known commentary on AHA! that is included here.
This
volume also features an essay by Dr. Israel Regardie, a primary
Crowley biographer and spokesman. The poem ends with -
“Blessing
and worship to the Beast, the prophet of the Lovely Star.”
Henceforth I must be no more an aspirant, no more an adept, no more
aught that I could think of as myself. I was the chosen prophet of
the Masters, the instrument fit to interpret their idea and work
their will.” —Aleister Crowley

THRICE GREAT HERMETICA
AND THE JANUS AGE:
Hermetic Cosmology,
Finance, Politics and Culture
In the Middle Ages
through the Late Renaissance
By Joseph P. Farrell
Paperback:
354 pages
Publisher:
Adventures Unlimited Press (September 10, 2014)
List
Price: $19.95
FROM
THE PUBLISHER:
What do
the Fourth Crusade, the exploration of the New World, secret
excavations of the Holy Land, and the pontificate of Innocent the
Third, all have in common? Answer: Venice and the Templars. What do
they have in common with Jesus, Gottfried Leibniz, Sir Isaac Newton,
Rene Descartes, and the Earl of Oxford? Answer: Egypt and a body of
doctrine known as Hermeticism. In this book, noted author and
researcher Joseph P Farrell takes the reader on a journey through the
hidden history of the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and early
Enlightenment, connecting the dots between Venice, international
banking, the Templars, and hidden knowledge, drawing out the
connections between the notorious Venetian “Council of Ten,”
little known Venetian voyages to the New World, and the sack of
Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade. That hidden role of Venice
and Hermeticism reached far and wide, into the plays of Shakespeare
(a.k.a. Edward DeVere), Earl of Oxford, into the quest of the three
great mathematicians of the Early Enlightenment for a lost form of
analysis, and back into the end of the classical era, to little known
Egyptian influences at work during the time of Jesus.
NEW TAROT AND DIVINATION
DECKS:
THE GORGON'S TAROT
by Dolores Fitchie
Hardcover:
208 pages (Book and Deck Set) 79 -6″ x 9″ cards
Publisher:
Schiffer Publishing, Ltd.; 1 edition (June 28, 2014)
List
Price: $45.00
FROM
THE PUBLISHER:
A
round, mostly black and white deck with two lurking splashes of
color, The Gorgon's Tarot is an innovative and inspired way to read
the tarot. With Dolores Fitchie's discreet, tongue-in-cheek humor,
it's also engaging and fun to read! The traditional 78-card deck is
complemented by an additional Major Arcana card, The Blind Gorgon.
This card can be used in a reading as a "wild card," as
what some Tarot authors call the significator, or as a general
atmosphere-setting concept. Unabashedly feminine and a restrained
paean of praise to the animal kingdom, it features a largely female
cast, lots of animal companions, commentators, bodyguards and
familiars, and a mixed bag of traditional and not-so-traditional
imagery, with traces of unorthodoxy here and there. It is suitable
for both beginners and experienced readers, and ideal for those who
enjoy images with more than one meaning, who can make up their own
stories by simply looking at the images. All you need is an
uninhibited imagination.
About
the Author:
Dolores,
aka the Gorgon or Gorgs for short, was born in Spain at a time when
the country was straddling a no-man s land between the late
middle-ages and recalcitrant proto modernity. In due course she
emigrated, travelled for a while and ended up putting down roots in
London. To this day she is not sure why she picked London, or allowed
herself to sprout roots, for that matter. She lives there with an
exasperating chronic illness, two temperamental computers, the
numerous creatures that emanate from them, more books than she has
shelves for, and interesting wildlife in her garden. She is devoted
to her graphics and to the few notions and principles that have
survived a life-long habit of reconsidering, adjusting, readjusting
and pruning the garden of her intellectual life. She loves animals,
art, Flamenco music, good ideas, and the few friends that linger in
her ecosystem.
