Pre-orders are now open for the hardcover edition of Faustiana Goetica: A Collection of Related Obscure Sixteenth-Eighteenth Century Germanic Grimoire Texts, translated from the German/Latin, edited with footnotes, appendixes, and new introduction by Steve Savedow and with a foreword by Alexander Cummins.

In Faustiana Goetica, Steve Savedow expands the corpus of important texts by bringing together obscure sixteenth-eighteenth century German grimoires, making them available together in English for the first time. The material includes Herpentil's Black Magic, Epitome of Supernatural Magic, Magia Ordinis, Almuchabosa: Compendium of Supernatural Black Magic, Tuba Veneris, and Grimorium Mercurium.

The texts presented in this volume each provide a basic, ‘no nonsense’, uncomplicated system of spirit evocation or ‘Goetica’, that can be described and categorized as being in the nature of [Faustian] German talismanic ‘Black Books’ of magic. These books include specific material on using talismans and incantations to perform acts of spirit evocation, the acquisition of money or gold/treasure, skrying by the use of a glass of water, and some interesting techniques of necromancy including how to get news from the dead.

Including reference material from nineteenth century German magazines and books, dozens of illustrations, spirit list, comprehensive manuscript and published work details of the texts and much more, Faustiana Goetica is a treasure trove which reveals a significant area of development in the grimoire tradition.

Our hardcover edition will be printed on Munken cream paper, coverd in Wibalin graphite buckram, with satin gold foiling on front and spine, and printed endpapers.

Imperatrix Æterna: Magical Stories of the Queen of Heaven includes several stories of Mary’s manifested miracles in the Catholic tradition, originally written by Pope Celestine V, the late thirteenth century monk who founded the Celestine branch of the Benedictine order, here lovingly translated and introduced by Fr Robert Nixon, OSB.

The veneration of a divine or quasi-divine feminine figure is a virtually omnipresent phenomenon in the various spiritual traditions of humankind, deriving from the complex archetype of a mystical woman: a Magna Mater. She is vested with both power and compassion; she serves as the complement, refuge, and telos of masculinity, and the speculum, idealization, or apotheosis of femininity. This archetype is so primal as to transcend all the more particularized mythological systems and finds a multitude of different expressions within each of them.

Celestine’s stories speak to the compassionate nature of the Celestial mother Mary, as well as her powers of intercession and to defend against evil. The collection continues with tales by Ippolito Marracci of the ‘Noble Daughters of Mary’, those queens, princesses, and saints who devoted themselves to the Blessed Mother. These historiolae attest to the importance placed upon Magna Mater, while the quotes interspersed throughout reveal how widespread the adoration of this figure is, by whatever name She is known.

The sewn hardcover edition is printed on Munken Crème and covered in Skivertex Ostra Red, with 19th century Western European reproduction decorative endpapers, red head and tail bands, and gold foil lettering on front and spine.

Also available in paperback and digital edition.

The paperback editions of Cyprianus and Cypriani Magici Septem Horae are available now!

The Cypriani Magici Septem Horae Magicae presents itself as a rare window into the short but intense period when the Books of Saint Cyprian found themselves between manuscript and print, between folk and learned, and Iberia and Europe. It is a cultural treasure, an irreverent magic text and it poses more questions than it answers.

Cyprianus: St. Cyprian and the Black Book in Scandinavian Folklore provides a translation of Danish legends relating to the Cyprianus, originally collected in the second half of the nineteenth century by the folklorist Evald Tang Kristensen. Most of these legends refer to the Cyprianus as a book – its powers, familiar spirits and those persons bold enough to read from its pages – while others recount the exploits of its eponymous author, a mysterious figure who, in Scandinavian lore, takes on different guises and genders. Still others reveal methods for outsmarting the Devil or banishing him entirely.

Together, the legends offer a perspective on the Cyprianus that helps contemporary readers understand the cultural and folk-magical context of this fabled grimoire.

Necromancy in the Medici Library contains extensive excerpts from a necromancer's handbook, detailing both general methods and particular rites of spirit conjuration, along with a veritable pantheon of the demonic personages.

On the tumultuous eve of the sixteenth century, as Girolamo Savonarola preached apocalypse in the cathedral of Florence and his protégé, the neoplatonic philosopher Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, breathed his last under mysterious circumstances, all while the army of a French king marched on the Italian peninsula, an anonymous Roman scrivener was putting the finishing touches on his masterwork. But it was neither an illuminated book of hours nor an encyclopedic chronicle of kingly deeds to which he set his pen, for this copyist was a magician, and his humble notebook contained a treasure trove of arcane knowledge — knowledge that might bring him wealth, power, even love...if he could bear the risks it entailed.

Preserved in the Florentine Laurentian Library under the patronage of two Medici popes, published here for the first time are extensive excerpts from this Italian necromancer's handbook, detailing both general methods and particular rites of spirit conjuration, along with a veritable pantheon of the demonic personages upon whom one might call. Including the original Latin text in parallel with a new English translation, this edition is also furnished with a critical apparatus and introductory essay which illuminate this manuscript's place in a network of occult practitioners and texts that circulated all the way from the Papal States to the shores of England.

Available as hardback, softcover and digital.

Sepher Yetzirah Magic by renowned author David Rankine is a stand-alone work which requires no previous knowledge of Kabbalah, and presents a collection of practical magical and meditational techniques for solitary and group practice.

The Sepher Yetzirah stands as the foundation work of Kabbalah, a mystical and magical text which establishes the cosmology and roots of the tradition. The Sepher Yetzirah emphasises the symbol set of the Hebrew alphabet and expresses language as the liminal medium which unites emanation and manifestation. The divine force is given form in written language, the glyphs of letters being divine forms which act as receptacles of divine force and gateways to creating change. The expression of spoken language activates this divine force in innumerable permutations, expounded in this work through magical practices and meditational techniques drawn from the text and expressed through the voice of the practitioner.

The Greek Prayer of St. Cyprian is a versatile piece of ancient Christian magic with roots in medieval Byzantium. An apotropaic prayer in which pagan sorcery and Christian exorcism meet, the Greek Prayer has enjoyed a tumultuous seven-hundred-year history. Declared “most loathsome superstition” by the Protestant Bishop John Fell and forbidden by the Inquisition, in Eastern Christianity the Prayer was included in liturgical handbooks and widely used as a healing formula.

The Greek Prayer also became the origin of many popular Cyprianic formulae found in European grimoires, such as the Grimoire of Pope Leo, the Portuguese and Spanish books of St. Cyprian, and the Scandinavian Black Books. Its Greek form, however, so relevant to the historical context of the legendary Sorcerer Saint, has managed to pass largely unnoticed in contemporary Cypriana.

This pamphlet provides the first English translation of a version of the Greek Prayer, accompanied with notes on its history and use.

In the autumn of 1965, Cecil Williamson, founder of the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, was requested to inspect the contents of a hidden attic room at Snowshill Manor. The Manor, previously the residence of the architect, collector, and occasional 'necromancer' Charles Paget Wade, was gifted to the National Trust in 1951 and remains home to the vast collection of handcrafted objects Wade collected in order to preserve examples of disappearing craftsmanship. However, Wade also had a strong interest in both the power of occult visual language and its material culture, and created a whole room dedicated to the subject. Williamson would later describe what he discovered that day to be, "the den of an especially dangerous black magician."

Was this ever the case? Was Wade or his collection as especially dangerous as Williamson suggested, or was this an example of his own particular brand of showman’s cunning? Especially Dangerous: The Snowshill Collection is not only the fascinating story of the alchemical narrative changes the collection experienced, but also an exploration of the material and wider cultural contexts it takes place within, and the personalities that shaped it. Informed by academic and magical thinking alike, the strange journey of the Snowshill collection invites the reader to consider the occulted interior and exterior designs of the self-styled necromancer Charles Paget Wade, as well as the collecting methodologies and magical working practices of the showman Cecil Williamson. In addition, it interrogates Williamson's motivations, proposing that although his actions may have been questionable, his magical reasoning for doing so may well hold incredibly pertinent lessons for modern practitioners.
