| Pasadena Babalon at Theatre Caltech |
Posted by lashtal on  in 16°  :  in 15°  : dies  : Anno IVxvii |
From Friday 19 February 2010 at 8:00 PM
Ramo Auditorium
$18 (unreserved seating)
Presented By: Caltech Performing and Visual Arts
Pasadena Babalon is a new stage play dealing with the life of rocket pioneer Jack Parsons, co-founder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and the Aerojet General Corporation.
Theater Arts at Caltech (TACIT) director Brian Brophy (Shawshank Redemption, Day Without a Mexican, Star Trek: The Next Generation) will direct the play penned by George Morgan, author of last year's well-received Rocket Girl.
Babalon takes the audience on a journey through mid-1930s Pasadena up until Jack's untimely death in 1952. Surrounded by a gallery of characters from Aleister Crowley, L.Ron Hubbard, Theordore Von Karman, and many others, the play examines the nature of genius with its unintended consequences, black magic, military contracts, and the formation of JPL.
TACIT casts feature Caltech undergraduates, graduate students, staff members, and JPL engineers.
The play will also be presented on Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon, and the following weekend on Friday and Saturday.
Discounted pricing for youth, students, seniors, and groups of 10 or more will likely be available, but prices have not yet been set.

| The Magic Seal of John Dee by Colin D Campbell |
Posted by lashtal on in 13°  : in 25°  : dies : Anno IVxvii |
The Magic Seal of John Dee
The Sigillum Dei Aemeth
by
Colin D Campbell
Published by The Teitan Press.
First Edition - Limited to 777 Numbered Copies.
Hardcover, small quarto (8 3/4 x 6 3/4 inches, approx 22.2 x 17.2cm). Black cloth with gilt sigils stamped on the front & rear covers, blind rules, and gilt title etc. on the spine. Color frontispiece and one colour & one black and white plate. Various b&w illustrations and tables in text. Appendixes & index. Teitan Press, Maine, 2009 / 2010. Edition limited to 777 numbered copies.
The Magic Seal of John Dee comprises a detailed examination of the history and structure of the Sigillum Dei Aemeth of the Elizabethan scholar and Magus, Dr. John Dee, as well as a study of its use in the practice of ritual magic. The appendixes include a new transcription and translation of Dee's Liber Mysteriorum Secundus, and an important new translation of the section of the famous grimoire, The Sworn Book of Honorius, that gives details of what is clearly a precursor of the Sigillum Dei.
From the standpoint of a practicing magician, the work has two clear aims: "to demonstrate the importance of the pattern established by Dee's Sigillum Dei as opposed to its implementation, and to bring the Sigillum Dei out of the limited confines of the Enochian temple and into its role as a powerful magickal system in its own right. The recognition of the patterns established in the construction of the Sigillum Dei allow us to view the seal in a new light, not as a static framework decided once and for all hundreds of years ago in the study of a Rennaissance magician, but as one that can be reconstituted in the light of modern interpretation. Furthermore, the seal is, in essence, a system of evocation - the very same method of communication used by Dee & Kelley in its reception. This book explains the nature and method of this approach and how the practicing magician is able to use the Sigillum Dei in the manner in which it was truly intended - as a powerful system of planetary magick."
The author, Colin D. Campbell, is a member of the O.T.O. and long-term student and teacher of the Thelemic, Kabbalistic, and Enochian magickal systems.
