1) Cairo Stela 666, Stele of Revealing, Amen Press 2008 Limited edition of 93 copies each copy is individually numbered but, as they have been supplied to me shrink wrapped, it is luck of the draw as far as numeration is concerned!, 28pp illustrated booklet printed on quality paper. Crowley worked with two translations of the hieroglyphs on the Stele of Revealing. One he commissioned before the Reception of the Book of the Law, this was attributed to the assistant curator of the Boulak Museum, Monsieur Delormant. However there is a mystery here as no one of that name was ever employed by the museum! From this Crowley compiled his poetic paraphrase of the text. Crowley commisssioned a second translation by Gardiner and Gunn which appeared for publication in the Equinox. This publication compares these two versions with a new translation, benefiting from modern scholarship, by Terence Duquesne. Each set of hieroglyphs is reproduced in colour with the associated translations below. The booklet is enclosed in an elegant clothbound folder, gilt blocked with the title. Also in the folder is a set of loose plates printed using high quality offset litho, so they do not pixilate when viewed closely. The images on the prints are up to 20cm x 12cm. The images consist of obverse and reverse of Stele with Crowley’s poetic version of the hieroglyphs on the reverse; another set of obvers and reverse of Stele, but these with no text on back so that they can be used to make a reproduction Stele as instructed in Liber Al.; Crowley in magical robes giving sign of Horus with scrying stone and book titled “Perdurabo Magister” in front of him; Leon Enger’s Kennedy, the Master Therion; Aleister Crowley – May Morn (painting); someone in magical robes giving sign of Silence framed by Egyptian columns; Leila Waddell in magical robes playing violin; magical drawing by J.F.C. Fuller featuring lion, snake etc. The loose plates can be kept safe in the folder but also are suitable for framing. Order No. STELE-01 £17.50

2) Artwork by Daniel Schulke
Daniel is a practitioner of English folk magic and the sorcery of the Dreaming Sabbath, the ecstatic confluence of waking, oneiric, hypnotic and hypnagogic states. Since the death of Andrew D. Chumbley in 2004, he has been presiding Magister of Cultus Sabbati, a Magical Order comprised of traditional cunning-craft initiates in which a number of lineal streams and bodies of folk magical customs converge and intersect. In 2001 he began serving the Order in the office of Verdelet, concerned with the gnostic parameters of plant-genii and the Spirits of Place. In this wise he has authored two texts for Xoanon Publishing: Ars Philtron (2001, 2008), concerning the occult praxes of the potion and other ensorcelled fluidic media; and Viridarium Umbris: The Pleasure-Garden of Shadow (2005), concerning the secrets of trees and herbs as delivered by the Fallen Angels unto man. He has also authored numerous articles in the occult periodical ‘The Cauldron’ as well. Under the greater aegis of Cultus Sabbati, he is also the present preceptor of the sorcerous guild known as ‘The Companie of the Serpent-Cross’ and of ‘Arbor Infernis’, a magical sodality whose concerns directly appertain the sorcerous dominions of plant-lore and charming.

3) Some Xoanon Titles
Andrew Chumbley, Qutub, also called The Point, Xoanon 2008 86pp Illustrated. This is one of 72 copies fully bound in midnight blue goatskin. The leather used has been cured in manner that preserves the natural texture. At the centre of the blue leather covering the front board a small, square dot of gilt, the Point of the title. This is surrounded by a circle of script discretely blind stamped (is no gilt or colour) into the leather. The spine carries the title, author and publisher’s imprint blocked in gilt and has raised bands. The end papers are of double sided hand marbled paper. The swirling blue, green and purple colours, shot with gold harmonise with the leather, the pattern which is determined by the uncontrolled movement of inks on a watery gel reflects the infinite possibilities of the Universe in which the Point manifest. There is a silk place ribbon and the book is protected by a stout cloth bound slipcase. A truly elegant work!
Half of this work consists of a mystic poem of 72 verses (plus one for zero and one for infinity), the remainder a commentary plus eleven illustrations and a glossary. The author finds in Sufism, the beliefs of the Yezidi and certain Berber heretical cults the counterparts of the Traditional Witchcraft as manifested in the Cultus Sabbatai. The work is historically important in defining the nature of the Cultus Sabbatai plus also a book of great elegance, clarity and intelligence. Order No. Q-01-DELUXE UK Pounds 330 Please note I have copies of the standard edition (700 printed) available price £60
Daniel A. Schulke, Ars Philtron, Edition Codex Vasculum, Xoanon 2008
301pp This being one number 46 of 72 deluxe copies bound in full bottle green goatskin with dramatic gilt blocking on front cover and spine, raised bands. In stout clothbound slipcase. Originally published in 2001 in an edition of 144 copies, however the text has been greatly expanded and often rewritten and the illustrations redrawn and added to. This work presents an approach to herbalism which is highly magical (indeed sorcerous), alchemical and practical and which embraces the narcotic qualities of many plants. It provides numerous practical recipes for tinctures, cordials and so forth as well as describing the lore of the plants as preserved in the Cultus Sabbatai, thus giving clear indications of the nature of the groups teachings including sexual magic. The illustrations are sorcerous mandalas which have an elegance, and grace that derives from the functionality of their symbolism. The author notes that the traditional craft of plant use was associated with witchcraft and often had very negative associations of hexes and poisons causing intoxication, madness, illness and death. These associations are not disowned but rather regarded from a Gnostic viewpoint and charted as negative counter balanced with positives in an overall mandala of the different plant potentials under the patron of the Craft who is a form of Tubal Cain. As is often the case where a writer acknowledges both darkness and light he shows particular responsibility to others both human and animal. Traditional recipes including body parts of creatures being set aside as unnecessary and callous.
Order No. CS1-DELUXE £400
Please note I have copies of the standard edition (of which there were 720 copies) available at £60.

Some Chaos Magick Related items
These three items were sent to those making enquiries to the I.O.T. in the 1980’s. Given that the foundation of any magical order is the aspiration of candidates it is useful to see how the IOT responded to that aspiration when it was growing very rapidly. The achievement of the IOT shgould not be over-looked. Not only was a magickal order created, but rather than using recycled glamours as most do, in this instance new paradigms were created.

Keith Richmond (relevant to Aleister Crowley), Progradior and the Beast, Frank Bennett and Aleister Crowley, Neptune press 2005 316pp Illustrated. Bennett was one of Crowleys most important followers and has been cited as one of the success stories of the Thelemic system of personal development. This work explores his life and his relationship with Crowley. In the process it gives an illuminating account of the operation of the AA and the OTO under Crowley from the earliest of times. Bennett emigrated to Australia and established the OTO and AA there. This account of the international operation of the early O.T.O. is enlightening. The police raid on the OTO in London is described as is the use of drugs by early OTO members in Australia. In 1920 Bennett travelled to Cefalu where he came to be regarded as Crowley’s star pupil, being recognised by Crowley as an Adeptus Minor and initiated into the IXth degree of the OTO. He returned to Australia where his commitment to Thelema fractured his family and led to press scandals. Gradually he drifted away from Crowley, alienated by the Beast’s demands. However, his interest in magic continued unabated. This is a work of true scholarship, assiduously researched and also very well written. The author is sympathetic yet sensible. The dustwrapper carries an image of a portrait by Crowley of Bennett as a Neophyte of the AA performing a ritual at Cefalu. This is one of Crowley’s most striking paintings and is reproduced to a very high standard in colour without the imposition of any text. The decorated endpapers carry a coloured reproduction of “At Play on the Cefalu Foreshore”, another painting by Crowley, also dated 1921 Fine in VG DW No. 4523 £55
