THE R'LYEH TEXT
Researched and transcribed
Pbk £7.50 |
Occult historian Robert Turner suggests that 'there is a race that rides curiously in tandem with humanity, a shadow, an intense and inseparable Mr Hyde.' He has, at last, managed to unearth texts which complete that pungent and vertiginous magickal grimoire known as The Necronomicon. What lurks behind its terrible gorgon beauty may encode the ultimate threat, or last chance, for humanity. No longer in print, a previously unknown cache of copies has come to light which we are now selling online. |

OUTER GATEWAYS by Kenneth Grant
Hbk £24.99 272pp 17pp
plates Click here for an extract... |
A further exploration of The Book of the Law, Outer Gateways examines the influence of the 'alien' upon the 'human' and the attainment of undivided consciousness. The book culminates in a 'received text' of great beauty and authority, enhanced by a fascinating and lucid commentary. A haunting 'received book' The Wisdom of S'Iba concludes the volume. Its text and commentary are both focused by an understanding with a more stellar bias than the pioneering Crowley could muster for The Book of the Law. |

It covers the latter years of World War II and Crowley's settling into his last abode at 'Netherwood' in Hastings. Here we see Crowley at his most human, and his letters to Kenneth Grant are imbued with that strange interpenetration of the magickal and the mundane which colours the life of a dedicated practitioner. |

THE NECRONOMICON
Edited by George Hay, with
contributions from Colin Wilson, Robert Turner, Daid
Langford, Dr Stanilaus Hinterstoisser, L. Sprague de
Camp, Christopher
Pbk £6.99 192pp |
The
Necronomicon gazes backwards into the
abyss of time to the remnant of a potent and perilous
magical inheritance, emanating from a past pre-human in
its unfathomable antiquity. Who or what were the lawful
entities then wrestling for the possession of our
planet? Why did they need to battle through the depths
of space to reach the earth? And, after their apparent
departure, what is their legacy to us? The creation of
The Necronomicon is usually ascribed to H.P. Lovecraft,
but research has brought to light some unexpected and
disconcerting suggestions that seem to lead in another
direction.
Rescued copies, from the same cache as The R’Lyeh Text above. |

THE TRIUMPH OF PAN by Victor B. Neuburg
Hbk £23 20pp |
'There is in these deep and
richly evocative poems the great power and sensitivity
of a Shelley, along with the visionary incisiveness of
a Blake. They are marked by the almost valuptuous sense
of visual imagery common to the Symbolist school and
are accompanied by a deep and abiding sense of the
personal experience of the esoteric life. This is a
marvellous collection for students of all traditions
and levels; a flawless and beautiful facsimile
edition.' Gnosis |
