FROM THE PUBLISHER:
Gateways Through Light and Shadow is the second book by Bryan Garner, known to his fellow ceremonial magicians as Frater Ashen Chassan, and in it we are again offered the illuminating opportunity to observe and learn from a practicing magus engaged in his Work. Once more he offers instruction in the processes of grimoric ceremonial magic and shares the insights he has gained from his ongoing research and operations. However, what may be most extraordinary about Gateways is that it allows us access to the detailed magical journal records of the communications received by Ashen Chassan and his gifted scryer, Benn mac Stiofán, during the evocations of such profound Spiritual beings as the seven Planetary Archangels, the seven Olympic Planetary Spirits, the four Spirit Kings of the Cardinal Directions, and the Supercelestial Angels Sandalphon and Metatron.
Gateways Through Light and Shadow is illustrated throughout with two-color line art of the talismanic magical implements used in the evocations, including sigils, seals, lamens, pentacles, and magic circles, along with new implements created by the magician under the guidance of the Archangels, as well as new portraits of the evoked Spirits.

"This book is a major contribution to the study and practice of Western ceremonial ritual magic. This is a book that no serious practitioner of magic should be without."

THE MARZIANO TAROT
The oldest known Tarot Deck
Recreated by Robert M. Place
Hermes Publishing, 2016
List Price: $30.00
The Marziano Tarot is a recreation of the Tarot's oldest ancestor. The trumps are sixteen gods and the four suits are: eagles, phoenixes, turtledoves, and doves.
From the author:
“The deck consisted of four suits, each with ten pips and a king and queen in the suit. The suit symbols were four different birds: eagles, phoenixes, turtledoves, and doves. According to Marziano, who wrote in great detail about the symbolism of the deck, each suit was intended to represent a life goal or desire, grouped in two contrasting pairs. As previously stated, the deck also contained 16 trumps composed of classical gods, which was not an unusual subject in Renaissance art. Besides forming a separate trump suit, four gods were assigned to each suit, with the gods representing appropriate qualities for each goal:
Eagles, representing the life goal virtue, were assigned Jove, Apollo, Mercury, and Hercules.
Phoenixes, representing the desire for riches, were assigned Juno, Neptune, Mars, and Aeolus.
Turtledoves, representing the goal of chastity, were assigned Pallas, Diana, Vesta, and Daphne.
Doves, representing the desire for sensuality, were assigned Venus, Bacchus, Ceres, and Cupid.”
