Chalice of Ecstasy.
Berkeley CA: Privately Published, 2017. First Edition. Hardcover. Octavo. 88pp. Scarlet cloth with gilt titling to spine. Edition limited to 200 copies SIGNED by the late Jerry Cornelius. 'Chalice of Ecstasy', first published in 1923, is Achad's interpretation of Richard Wagner's play 'Parsifal'. From the publisher: "This new edition has a lengthy preface by the late J. Edward Cornelius, a Magister Templi in the A.'.A.'., explaining the Wagnerian Grail mythos and why Achad's book is so important. Unfortunately Achad gives no sources to the dozens of quotes throughout his book, nor does he explain many of his obscure terms, but Cornelius identifies all and adds almost ninety footnotes which help illuminate the spiritual journey portrayed in this classic Thelemic text." NEW copy in Fine condition (no dust jacket issued). Item #73270
