"The Clavis or Key to the Magic of Solomon" is one of several
notebooks from the estate of Ebenezer Sibley, transcribed under the
direction of Frederic Hockley (1808-1885). Sibley was a prominent
physician and an influential author, who complemented his
scientific studies with writings on the "deeper truths" including
magic, astrology, alchemy, and hypnotherapy. Both Sibley and
Hockley were major inspirations in the occult revival of the past
two centuries, influencing A.E. Waite, S.L. Mathers, Aleister
Crowley, as well as the Golden Dawn, Rosicrucian, and Masonic
movements. This collection reflects Sibley's teachings on the
practical use of celestial influences and harmonies. "The Clavis"
contains clear and systematic instructions for constructing magical
tools and pentacles for many practical purposes. It includes eight
separate magical texts: The Mysterious Ring, Experiments of the
Spirits, Birto, Vassago, Agares, Bealpharos, The Wheel of Wisdom,
and the Complete Book of Magic Science. The manuscript reproduced
here is the most accurate and complete known, very beautifully and
carefully written complete with extraordinary hand-colored seals
and colored handwritten text. 282 color pages with a color fold-out
and a huge idex.

The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage-originally
published in 1900, translated by Samuel Mathers from a 15th-century
French document-was purportedly written by Abraham for his son
Lamech. Within this volume are three books. The first book is
Abraham's autobiography in which he speaks to his son. The second
book is an explanation of the purification rituals necessary to
bring the magician's personal demon under his control. And the
third book details what feats can be accomplished once the
practitioner is able to use a form of magic controlled and directed
through sigils of magic words written on a grid. Anyone with an
interest in the occult will find this an interesting, though
perhaps impractical, guide for exploring mystic arts.
BYGONE BELIEFS - ALCHEMY, MAGIC, TALISMANS, ETC BEING A SERIES OF
EXCURSIONS IN THE BYWAYS OF THOUGHT By H.Stanley Redgrove
Originally published in 1920, this rare early work on ancient
beliefs is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition.
Obscure Books Press have now republished it, using the original
text and illustrations. The author was an expert in the study of
superstitions and the occult, and wrote several books on these and
other related subjects, as well as being a prolific contributor to
The Occult Review. In this book he expounds on his opinion that
there is a reason for every belief, even the most fantastic, and
that it should be our objective to discover this reason. He
considers that it is too easy for the superficial thinker to
dismiss much of the thought of the past as mere superstition, not
worth the trouble of investigation: but that is not scientific. The
book's two hundred and twenty pages contain twelve comprehensive
chapters plus many illustrations: Some Characteristics of Medieval
Thought Pythagoras and His Philosophy. Medicine and Magic.
Superstitions Concerning Birds. The Powder of Sympathy: A Curious
Medical Superstition. The Belief in Talismans. Ceremonial Magic in
Theory and Practice. Architectural Symbolism. The Quest of the
Philosopher's Stone. The Phallic Element in Alchemical Doctrine.
Roger Bacon: An Appreciation. The Cambridge Platonists. Everything
possible to be believ'd is an image of truth. William Blake. Many
of the earliest works on Folklore, magic, superstition and the
occult, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are
now extremely rare and increasingly expensive. OBSCURE BOOKS PRESS
are republishing many of theseclassic books in affordable, high
quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
