For people interested in folk magic. The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses, arguably one of the most popular magick books ever published, contains two secret apocrypha ascribed to Moses, perhaps pseudepigraphically. The book consists of a collection of texts, which claim to explain the magick Moses used to win the biblical magick contest with the Egyptian priest-magicians, part the Red Sea, and perform other miraculous feats. It includes instruction in the form of invocations, magick words, and seals for calling upon the angels to affect worldly ends, from the sublime (calling down a plague of locusts and frogs upon your enemy) to the mundane (getting more money). Many manuscripts and printed pamphlet versions circulated in Germany in the 1800s, and an English translation by Johann Scheible first appeared in New York in 1880 that had not been corrected or re-edited until now. In creating this restored, corrected edition, Joseph Peterson drew on Scheible's final edition of the text and his original sources. It will be of great interest to those who have suffered through prior editions and anyone looking for a traditional source of Western magick. * Used in various modern traditions of American folk magick, from Pennsylvania Dutch hexmeisters and contemporary eclectic magicians, to voodoo practioners and African American root workers. * Updated or fresh translations from original German, Latin, and Hebrew sources and restoration of censored or left out passages in earlier editions and 35 pages of text never before translated. * Describes the biblical magick ascribed to Moses and its application. * Extensively illustrated with over 100 magical seals, signs, and sigils.

The dark history of the Necronomicon--one of the world's most feared and fascinating books--told by the one man who saw it all...and lived to tell the tale. The Necronomicon is one of the most controversial books ever published. The master of Gothic suspense, H.P. Lovecraft, wrote about a mystical and dreaded grimoire, known as the Necronomicon--an ancient text written by an Arab that, if it were to fall into the wrong hands, could have disastrous consequences. But no one thought the Necronomicon had any basis in the world outside of Lovecraft's fiction. Until... Simon was a young man drawn to the mysterious world of the occult through his association with several Eastern Orthodox religions and his friendship with the owner of an occult bookstore in Brooklyn. In 1972 he stumbled upon a stolen text in a friend's apartment, unaware that what he held in his hands was the real Necronomicon--something long thought to be a creation of Lovecraft's brilliant mind and deft pen. After an arduous translation, done in the utmost secrecy (since the tome was in fact stolen), Simon and his close circle of friends unveiled the now-infamous grimoire to a clamoring public. In Dead Names, Simon tells the amazing true story that surrounds the Necronomicon. From the main players' humble beginnings in the pageantry-filled and secret world of Eastern Orthodox religion, to the accidental discovery of the Necronomicon, to the Son of Sam murders, the JFK assassination , the brilliant William S. Burroughs, and the eventual suspicious deaths of almost everyone involved with the grimoire, this book is an enthralling account of a book steeped in legend, lies, and murder.

THE CLAVIS OR KEY TO THE MAGIC OF SOLOMON is one of several notebooks from the estate of Ebenezer Sibley, transcribed under the direction of Frederic Hockley (1808-1885). Sibley was a prominent physician and an influential author, who complemented his scientific studies with writings on the “deeper truths” including magic, astrology, alchemy and hypnotherapy. Both Sibley and Hockley were major inspirations in the occult revival of the past two centuries, influencing A. E. Waite, S.L. Mathers, Aleister Crowley, as well as the Golden Dawn, Rosicrucian and Masonic movements.This collection reflects Sibley's teachings on the practical use of celestial influences and harmonies. The Clavis contains clear and systematic instructions for constructing magical tools and pentacles for many practical purposes. It includes eight separate magical texts: The Mysterious Ring, Experiments of the Spirits, Birto, Vassago, Agares, Bealpharos, The Wheel of Wisdom and the Complete Book of Magic Science.The manuscript reproduced here is the most accurate and complete known, very beautifully and carefully written complete with extraordinary hand-coloured seals and coloured handwritten text. (Blank pages have been eliminated throughout so that the 384 page original has been reproduced here as 288 pages.)

Four instances determine the law of realisation. Four primal qualities: warm, cold, light and heavy manifest in the form of the four elements and are the key to all sciences and mysteries. Ancient philosophers contemplated the four basic building blocks of creation: fire, water, air and earth. In medieval times the spirits bound to them were summoned. Modern science has alsodiscovered the mechanism of quadrupole magnetism, which regulates everything and keeps everything alive. There are four forms of energy in the universe: nuclear energy, radioactivity, electromagnetism and gravitation. Four forms of energy within the atom ensure that it does not fall apart. Four molecules, known as the genetic code, have for millions of years determinedthe development of life. Four switches are necessary in a control circuit that can achieve a certain goal or maintain a state.Spiritual research also recognises the four instances in the control circuit of the spirit. Thinking, feeling, wanting and consciousness are the four organs through which the I awakens and recognises itself and the environment. Those who do not want to lose their consciousness and want to consciously shape their existence have to know and master the cybernetics of the spirit. This book shows you how to accomplish this..

Placebo and word magic: every word is an active being. Every concept is a spiritual power.. Alchemy: how to dig for gold for the afterlife in this life.. Kabbalah: how to shape a body for the spiritual world. It is not spirits that are summoned, it is the power and energy of yourown spirit that is awoken. The goal is not to use magic to gain mastery over the world and the spirits, instead it is to transform yourself so that the world and the spirits can no longer master you.

Who decides the fate of the world? Where do the powerful gain theirpower? Who protects them, who supports them and who gives them energy?Why are some people always successful while others try and try but neverprogress? Are the reasons just and fair?The answer is: yes. There are in fact mechanisms of power that are unbiasedand follow spiritual laws. If you know these laws, you can use the powersoperating behind them to your advantage.

This is a source work of medieval magic that gives complete sets of zodiacal lames, characters, and planetary sigils, with full details for their manufacture and consecration, often omitted by later writers. Paracelsus is essentially concerned with the practical applications of magic, especially with regard to healing, rather than the extravagant fantasies of theorists. His sections on alchemy include details of the planetary spirits, the conjunction of the male and female principles, and each step on the path to the Tincture--one of the most complete descriptions in the whole Hermetic canon. Paracelsus outlines techniques for the exorcism of evil spirits, conjuration, and counteracting witchcraft.Stephen Skinner's introduction provides a brief biography of Paracelsus and explains the influence of his work on the Western Mystery Tradition.

In the past 31 years, there has been a lot of ink--actual and virtual--spilled on the subject of the "Necronomicon." Some have derided it as a clumsy hoax; others have praised it as a powerful grimoire. As the decades have passed, more information has come to light both on the book's origins and discovery, and on the information contained within its pages. The "Necronomicon" has been found to contain formula for spiritual trans-formation, consistent with some of the most ancient mystical processes in the world, processes that were not public knowledge when the book was first published, processes that involve communion with the stars. In spite of all the controversy, the first edition sold out before it was published. And it has never been out of print since then. This year, the original designer of the 1977 edition and the original editor have joined forces to present a new, deluxe hardcover edition of the most feared, most reviled, and most desired occult book on the planet.
