Magic, spells & alchemyThe Grimoire of Saint Cyprian
Clavis Inferni : Sive Magia Alba Et Nigra Approbata Metratona
by Stephen Skinner
There have been many grimoires attributed to St Cyprian of Antioch due to his reputation as a consummate magician before his conversion to Christianity, but perhaps none so intriguing as the present manuscript. This unique manuscript (unlike the more rustic examples attributed to St Cyprian called the Black Books of Wittenburg, as found in Scandinavia, or the texts disseminated under his name in Spain and Portugal) is directly in line with the Solomonic tradition, and therefore relevant to our present series of Sourceworks of Ceremonial Magic. It is unique in that instead of being weighed down with many prayers and conjurations it addresses the summoning and use of both the four Archangels, Michael, Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel as well as their opposite numbers, the four Demon Kings, Paymon, Maimon, Egyn and Oriens. The later are shown in their animal and human forms along with their sigils, a resource unique amongst grimoires. The text is in a mixture of three magical scripts, Greek, Hebrew, cipher, Latin, (and reversed Latin) with many contractions and short forms, but expanded and made plain by the editors. The title literally means 'The Key of Hell with white and black magic as proven by Metatron'.

Egyptian archaeology / EgyptologyDecember 2014Techniques of Graeco-Egyptian Magic
by Stephen Skinner (Dr.)
This is the first book in any language to analyse the Graeco-Egyptian Magical papyri in terms of the actual techniques used by Graeco-Egyptian magicians, utilising their own (Greek) terminology for the types of magic they used. Stephen Skinner holds a Ph.D in Classics, and has grouped together rites, according to their Greek headwords, making it much easier to understand the intentions, implements and procedures of the original magicians, from their point of view, rather than that of later commentators. 42 Illustrations and 61 detailed Tables. 978-0-956828569

Magic, spells & alchemyJanuary 2012Liber Lunae & Sepher Ha-levanah
The Book of the Moon
by Don Karr
Liber Lunæ is a composite text containing three major sections: The Mansions of the Moon, describing the operations of the 28 constellations of the lunar zodiac, their magical virtues and their names. The Hours of the Day and Night, describing the operations of the 12 hours of the day and the 12 hours of the night, their names, virtues, talismanic images, and angels to invoke The Figures of the Planets, describing each planet's magic square, virtue, suffumigation, magical directions, and inscription. Liber Lunæ is fully transcribed from a sixteenth-century English manuscript, annotated, edited, and supplemented by modernised English versions of 'The Hours of the Day and Night', 'The Figures of the Planets', and 'The Mansions of the Moon', combining both Liber Lunæ and Sepher ha-Levanah. Transcriptions of related material on talismanic images and on the virtues of different hours and their names from other sections of Sloane MS 3826 are also included. The full introduction places the material contained in Liber Lunæ into the general scheme of magical literature. This volume also features a facsimile of A W Greenup's 1912 edition of Sepher ha-Levanah, a Hebrew version of Liber Lunæ material. A full English translation of Sepher ha-Levanah prepared by Calanit Nachshon is included.

Mind, Body, SpiritPractical Angel Magic of John Dee's Enochian Tables
From Three Previously Unpublished Manuscripts On Angel Magic, Being a Complete Transcription of Tabula Bonorum Angelorum Invocationes in Manuscripts Bl Sloane 307 and 3821 and Bodleian Rawlinson D1067 and D1363
by Stephen Skinner
Stephen Skinner has been interested in magic for as long as he can remember. He wrote, with Francis King, the classic Techniques of High Magic in 1976. He followed that with Oracle of Geomancy and Terrestrial Astrology which has become the standard work on Western divinatory geomancy. Books on Nostradamus and Millennium Prophecies followed in highly illustrated editions. Stephen is also the author of eight books on feng shui, including the first one written in English in the 20th century. In the 1970s he was responsible for stimulating interest in John Dee and Enochian magic by publishing the first reprint of Casaubon's True and Faithful Relation of What Passed for Many Yeers between Dr John Dee and some Spirits. and Dr Donald Laycock's key reference book on the angelic language The Complete Enochian Dictionary. With David Rankine, he discovered what happened to Dee's most important manuscript, his personal book of angelic invocations which he kept in Latin, and how it was preserved and developed in the 17th century into a full working Enochian system. Only ten percent of this material reached the unpublished archives of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and even this was then suppressed by the chiefs of the Order, so it did not appear in Israel Regardie's monumental work on the Order rituals and documents. They have also traced the routes down which were passed the classic techniques of invocation and evocation from late mediaeval grimoires, through Dee's magic, via Ashmole, and the aristocratic angel magicians of the 17th century, and Frederick Hockley to the senior magicians of the Golden Dawn.

Book One of the Fallen Lands Trilogy
by Patrick Park-Tighe
With a single, desperate cut of the knife, naïve and reckless Cat Calhoun finds himself forced into an unfamiliar landscape of intrigue and danger. Caught between a murderous giant and a hardly helpless pirate girl, Cat's split second decision leaves him adrift in the Fallen Land's shadowy world of sea-robbers, madmen and cutthroats--a place where politics and prophecies collide. Now, the further he travels from the mundane comforts of home, the deeper the mystery grows around the untested farm boy and the Shadow staining the land from Sturmgard to the Summer Coast and beyond. The Fallen Lands Trilogy can be described as a coming-of-age story where love and loss shape characters and destinies. Unique to this series is the role of the Archtypes. In the books' mythology, the Archtypes are the physical embodiment of the familiar elements driving modern narratives. The Hero, Shadow, Oracle and Trickster are all at play, struggling to understand their purpose and place, while caught between free will and pre-destination.

Health & Personal DevelopmentFebruary 2021El idioma de la lluvia (The language of rain)
by Roland Schimmelpfennig
In a small town not far from the sea, an event that happened many years ago continues to weigh on the present: the closure of a modest cinema where old movies were screened, a place that witnessed a time of dreams and hopes. Now, the past returns not only to disrupt the lives of those involved but also the lives of their relatives and other strangers - beings of flesh and bone, but also witches, spirits, and fairy tale characters. In the language of rain, Roland Schimmelpfenning presents us with, imagination and honesty, a constellation of torn and touching characters, all subtly and skillfully interconnected.
