For Sale and Wanted - Scarlet Imprint NEW TITLE Voudon Gnosis luciferrofocale - Oct 01, 2008 - 09:41 AM Post subject: Scarlet Imprint NEW TITLE Voudon GnosisVoudon Gnosis by David Beth
Foreword by Michael Staley
Finally, a clear exposition of the Voudon Gnostic system of Michael Bertiaux and the work of La Couleuvre Noire.
The thriving multiverse of artistic imagination which this current represents has been explored by Kenneth Grant, but this is the first text giving the inside experience of an initiand.
A fascinating and challenging glimpse into the Voudon system, it is both a gateway for students and an inspiration for those looking for a more creative occultism.
David Beth draws on his Kosmic Gnosis to create a text which both stands alone, and serves as a perfect introduction to the complexities of that strangest of all modern grimoires, Bertiaux's Voudon Gnostic Workbook.
Voudon Gnosis is an elegant octavo book of 108pp, with three tipped in colour plates of original artwork.
The standard edition is stealthily bound in black cloth, with black endpapers, and blind embossed with an ophidian design.
This is in keeping with the cultus of La Coulevre Noire.
It is being prepared in a strictly limited and hand-numbered edition of five hundred and fifty-five copies.
A copy can be yours for twenty-five English pounds plus postage.

The deluxe edition of fifty five copies of Voudon Gnosis are quarter bound in black snake skin and finished in a stygian black paper which is debossed with an ophidian design. The endpapers are hand marbled and swirled. The foredge stained black. All copies of the deluxe are personally signed and sigilised by David Beth. SOLD OUT
Expanding upon the groundwork of his essay in Scarlet Imprint's Howlings, David Beth guides us through this eclectic, syncretic and highly personal system of sorcery which nevertheless has come from a genuine Haitian lineage.
Those looking for the wilder atavistic energies of sex magick, as we find embodied in the art of Austin Osman Spare, will find much of interest in this book. Voudon Gnosis outlines a more complex and highly developed system of sex magick than is found in the secret grade papers of the Western magickal tradition.
This slim volume is densely packed with information and suggestions which will augment your practice, regardless of your tradition.
Voudon Gnosis covers:
Las Prise des Yeaux
Points Chauds
Spider Sorcery and Time Travelling
Elemental Sex Magick
The Grimoire Ghuedhe
With appendices on:
Nganga and the Fetish
A-Mor, an initiated analysis of Love
David Beth is the Sovereign Grand Master for the international Voudon Orders and is the Presiding Bishop of the Ecclesia Aeterna. A tireless ambassador, teacher and speaker, David is one of the key players and charismatic characters in the modern occult revival.

Our printers have just delivered the re-print of Voudon Gnosis to us.
It has been a frustrating delay for our readers and David Beth, but the wait is now over. We settle for nothing less than excellence.
We would also like to make it clear that we are using a different printer for Devoted and all future titles. But let's leave talk of that until after the weekend..

I am very happy that this rather annoying printer-episode is finally over and dealt with! Frustrating as that was, they say waiting longer heightens the anticipation and thus makes it all the better when it finally happens. Let me quickly say thanks for the very positive feedback and reviews of the book, I greatly appreciate it and can see that people receive the book as it was intended.
Remembering all the enthusiastic talk (and rightly so) about Monsieur Kyle Fytes artwork, let me tell you that he has a very special piece of his in the book which should greatly please all his fans as it did me!

Dear S.
glad you are enjoying this book. I believe it to be a small leathal granade with many dimensions and insights into the Voudon Gnostic and also Kosmic Tradition for those with the capacity to see with the ´soul´. Cheers

I can't wait to see my copy of the snakeskin edition. The standard edition is gorgeous in its own right - they both will end up in a prominent place on my bookshelf!
