Medieval manuscript of ceremonial magic. Basic document in Aleister Crowley, Golden Dawn groups.
Phi-Neter, means 'Power of the Gods'. In hieroglyphs this is
represented by the hind-quarters of a leopard, a "Typhonian"
creature, a predator who exemplifies the driving force of magick.
In this book the author extends the core working material of
Egyptian magick for himself and others to study and use. These
techniques are manifest in the cult of Lord Seth - known as Typhon
by the Greeks - and by all the other Gods of the Egyptian pantheon.
The Egyptian magician wields a power that was ultimately created by
the Gods for the use of anyone who wishes to do their work. It is
the same underlying power whether manipulated by Gods, priests,
aristocrats, the common people or even the criminal. Same power,
different ends. "Ancient Egypt is an intellectual and spiritual
world that is linked to our own by numerous strands of tradition."

"Nightshades is the record of one remarkable magician's exploration
of the inverse regions of the Tree of Life. Aleister Crowley's
Liber 231 provides the map and Kenneth Grant's Nightside of Eden a
travelogue. "Liber 231, apparently started life as a text within
the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, as an exercise to develop
astral and trance abilities or perhaps in other more elaborate
rites. The nightside aspect requires some care and alertness in
case of accident. The correct attitude is said to be one of self or
ego-less witness. Or maybe it's just one needs Or maybe it's just
one needs the use of an all-embracing rather than a limited kind of
identity and self-identification?" "The Nightside is always with
us. It's so much older than the Dayside. Before the light began to
shine, the night was there. Some assume that we are dealing with a
simple polarity. On one hand the radiant world of colours and
forms, more or less thinkable, reasonable and meaningful. Like the
pretty picture of the Tree of Life it has its scenic cites, its
hotels, restaurants, shopping opportunities and highways in
between. On the other hand the chaotic world of uncertain and
incomprehensible mysteries. Both of them connected by the voidness
that makes them possible. It looks symmetrical. But when you reach
the Nightside it doesn't work like that. The Nightside is not
simply a reflection of the dayside with a few confusing and spooky
bits thrown in. The Dayside is a tiny island of experience in a
huge ocean, the Nightside, full of currents, island chains and
continents of the possible and impossible. All and Nothing are
present everywhere. Our island is not the opposite of the
world-ocean, it is simply a tiny and comprehensible part of it."
Jan Fries Nightshades comprises 72 intense drawings prefaced by an
explanatory essay detailing the background and genesis of this
ultimate magical adventure.

Discovered in the stacks of the Bodleian Library at Oxford, this

transcribed and translated by Daniel Harms and illustrated by James
R. Clark, the team that created the bestselling Book of Oberon
(9780738743349). With a comprehensive introduction, annotations,
and more than 100 figures and illustrations, this beautifully
reconstructed historical work is filled with never-before published
rituals for calling forth demons, fairies, elementals, and other
spiritual beings. This elegantly bound book provides new insights
into a fascinating tradition, where a sorcerer or cunning-man was
paid to perform magic for uncovering theft, healing, combating
witchcraft, hunting for treasure, or for having a spirit fulfil one
s commands. As an additional feature, this deluxe edition retains
the red type found in the original manuscript to emphasise key
words.
This is a comprehensive compendium of insights and techniques for
the direct application of Dr Timothy Leary's Eight-Circuit Brain
model for Intelligence Increase. What Dr Leary posited as theory
("Exo-Psychology") and Dr Robert Anton Wilson brilliantly
demonstrated in socio-political, mathematical and intellectual
proofs ("Prometheus Rising"), Antero Alli has extended into
tangible tasks, exercises, rituals and meditations towards an
embodied realisation of brain change through first hand experience.
"Angel Tech" challenges the reader to redefine 'Intelligence'
according to his own direct experiences and finally, dares us to
live accordingly. In print for over twenty years, this classic
'performance' book has been republished with the author's 2008
Update on his most recent research results.
