The Mystic Grimoire of Mighty Spells and Rituals.
West Nyack, NY: Parker Publishing Company, Inc., 1976. First edition. Hardcover. Large Octavo. 202pp. Maroon cloth with gilt title, etc. to spine, illustrations. Included with this copy is the original 15 page stapled pamphlet: "The Mystic Grimoire Talisman and Amulet Kit" which is often missing. According to on-line sources Frater Malak's "civvy" name was Geof Gray-Cobb (1928 - 2009) a London born magician and author, who lived much of his life in Canada, founding The Hermetic Order of Campo Santo in Montreal in the late 1960's and later moving to British Columbia where he continued his occult studies. The book was evidently intended to appeal to people outside the regular occult community - as evidenced by the rather breathless blurb on the dust jacket: "Revealed at Last! The Amazing Secret of How to Command Invisible Cosmic Beings to Fulfill Your Desires! Here is a genuine Wizard's Handbook of powerful, fast-acting spells and wonder-working rituals--simple and easy to use--that can bring you whatever you need through the Powers of the Occult". Cloth rubbed, corners and spine ends bumped and lightly chafed, page edges darkened & somewhat thumbed, a few few spots of browning to text pages - Still a tight, unmarked better than VG copy in about VG dust jacket. (Dust jacket a little chafed & chipped at corners, edges and spine ends, a few small tears to edges, spine chipped, not clipped). Amulet kit lightly browned at edges but otherwise VG+ condition.
