A new edition of Regardie's classic text
In the mid-1930s, Israel Regardie had an insight into
understanding alchemical writings. The result was The Philosopher's
Stone, where he analyzed three 17th-century alchemical works
symbolically, psychologically, and via magickal energy.
Now, famed occultists Chic and Tabatha Cicero bring this book
into the 21st century. The original is completely reproduced here.
The Hebrew transliterations have been updated with modern styles
and the text is fully annotated and explained. Added are these new
features:
- New introduction - New illustrations - Biographical dictionary
- Glossary - Resource list - Bibliography - Index
Plus, five new original articles

This new edition of the Goetia features an introduction explaining
Goetic Magick. Goetia refers to all the operations of that Magick
which deals with gross, malignant or unenlightened forces. Goetia
is sometimes thought of as a wild card, something that can get out
of control, something which expresses the operator's lower desires
to control others and improve his own personal life. And, in fact,
this potential loss of control, this danger, the desire for
self-improvement and great power is exactly what attracts many
people to the Goetia while horrifying and repelling others.
Crowley's Goetia is brought to life by David P. Wilson with vivid
illustrations of the Goetic demons, while Lon Milo DuQuette and
Christopher S. Hyatt bring the ancient art of Goetic Magick to life
in the modern day. Christopher Hyatt joined with Lon Milo DuQuette
and David P. Wilson to glean extraordinary magical and
philosophical treasures from this most misunderstood subject.

Experience the Primal Spiritual Path of Ancient Egypt The spiritual
traditions of Ancient Egypt are well documented and are at the
forefront of the Western Mystery and Magical Tradition. But they
are a gloss over a more primal "shamanic" tradition which gets to
the essence of Nature and its relationship with humanity, life and
death. This book is a practical manual for those who wish to
explore that primal spirituality using Egyptian symbolism. As Egypt
was one of the village cultures, so Egyptian shamanism was one of
the first to operate in an urban environment, making its techniques
suitable for modern times. Egyptian Shaman paints the picture of
what it was like to be a village priest in Ancient Egypt before
describing the practical techniques which would have been employed
during those times. These techniques, which have never been
revealed before, have been adapted for modern minds with the
intention of making this a practical spiritual path. The book
controversially contains a chapter on exorcism and dealing with the
dead, which many have claimed are subjects which should not be
published. It shows how later Egyptian texts, such as the Book of
the Dead, were Shamanic guide books to the Underworld. This is a
book containing the keys to transmute, not only the self, but the
whole planet.
