Berkeley, CA: Privately Printed (J. Edward and Marlene Cornelius), Berkeley, California, 1999 (First Edition - limited), 1999. First Edition. Softcover. Quarto. xxx + (ii) + xii + 190 pp (+iipp, adverts). Original printed red textured wrappers. First edition, limited to 156 copies. One of the most sought-after and controversial issues of this valuable journal of Thelemic scholarship. This issue "is composed of a set of lessons distributed privately in one of Grady Louis McMurtry's A.'. A.'. lineages, which are titled The Magickal Essence." Whilst there has been a new release of "The Magickal Essence" which incorporates a substantial amount of fresh material, this new version also omits some of the more contentious parts of this edition, notably the chapter on Francis King's "Secret Rituals of the O.T.O." Some light fading to the spine and upper cover else - appears "as new", thus a tight, clean near Fine copy. Item #64377
