Hardcover, 8vo, xxxii + 268 (+iv) pp. Red cloth with silver gilt titles, etc. to spine and front cover. Illustrations, diagrams, magic squares etc. A completely new translation, including the previously unpublished fourth part, of the book widely known as The Book of the Sacred Magic Of Abra-Melin The Mage. The work was first translated into English by S. L. MacGregor Mathers of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and was used by the likes of Aleister Crowley. It soon gained a reputation as one of the few genuine - and extremely powerful - works of ritual magick. This new translation is drawn from careful comparisons of several previously unknown manuscript versions of the work, and is significantly improved, both in substance and readability, from the Mathers text. NEW BOOK. Fine copy in Fine dust jacket.

Hardcover, small octavo, viii + 194pp (+ vipp text) Illustrated, frontis. Red cloth, gilt title spine. Edition Limited to 250 numbered copies. "Old Tradition Crafte presents authentic Witchcrafte of Scottish and English origin.

Robin Artisan, illuminates a complete system of Old Tradition Witchcrafte. Book One is Stone Magick. The primary foundation of Earth Magick, the Four Elements and the Seasons of the Sun and Moon, are elaborated on.

The additional key of the witches' Rune alphabet is present. Book Two is The Guild Book. This work unveils the survival mechanism put into place by a persecuted people to survive the Holy Inquisition. Herein are the Laws, the Initiation, the Witches' Ring, the Grand Sabbat, the Old Gods, and the Herb Burnings. Dr. Fian's Spell Book, being Book Three, delineates the ritual technical details of the Witch Work, divination by playing cards, dice and scrying. In addition, Familiar Spirits, Thread and String Charms, Poppets, a Cauldron Spell and sundry curses & bindings. Indeed, such charming little ditties as love and lust spells, how to blight a neighbor's crops, how to avoid an unwanted love, and weather spells.

Hardcover. 8vo. 208pp. Blue cloth w/ gilt titling etc to spine. Oswell Blakeston (1907 - 1985), knew Spare from the 1930s onwards.

Spine ends and corners bumped and lightly rubbed, otherwise a tight, unmarked VG + copy in VG dust jacket.
