Now in hardcover with a fresh new look. The vast store of magical
lore within the Three Books of Occult Philosophy has been an
essential resource for occultists since its original publication in
1531. Donald Tyson presents these writings in their complete form,
supplemented by notes and explanations to contextualise the
material for the modern reader.
The Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy, by Henry Cornelius
Agrippa and unnamed others, is considered one of the cornerstones
of Western magic, and the grimoires it contains are among the most
important that exist in the Western tradition. For more than three
hundred years, this mysterious tome has been regarded as difficult
or even impossible to understand--until now. Occult scholar Donald
Tyson presents a fully annotated, corrected, and modernized edition
of Stephen Skinner's 1978 facsimile edition of the original work,
which was six tracts published as one volume in 1655. For the first
time, these classic works of Western magic have been rendered fully
accessible to the novice practitioner, as well as occult scholars
and skilled magicians. Tyson presents clear instruction and
practical insight on a variety of magic techniques, providing
contemporary magicians with a working grimoire of the arcane. -

Realist drama from Ealing Studios, based on a novel by Arthur La
Bern and set in London's working-class East End just after World
War 2. The action unfolds over the course of one dismal, rainy
Sunday. Tommy Swann (John McCallum) has escaped from Dartmoor
prison and turns up at the drab East End home of his former love
Rose (Googie Withers), who is now married to the staid George
(Edward Chapman) with three children. Rose has a difficult decision
to make: should she help Tommy, or put her marriage - and the
claustrophobic domesticity it entails - first?

The Isle of Pines is a book by Henry Neville published in 1668. An
example of Utopian fiction, the book presents its story through an
Epistolary frame: a "Letter to a friend in London, declaring the
truth of his Voyage to the East Indies" written by a fictional
Dutchman "Henry Cornelius Van Sloetten," concerning the discovery
of an island in the southern hemisphere, populated with the
descendants of a small group of castaways. The book also has
political overtones. Neville was an anti-Stuart republican, and as
a political exile he was clearly conscious of the socio-political
concerns of the end of the early modern period. The island
narrative is framed by the story of the Dutch explorers who are
more organized and better equipped than the English voyage of three
generations earlier, and who are needed to rescue a small English
colonial nation-state from chaos. It is interesting to note that
the book was written at the end of the Second Anglo-Dutch War.
Henry Neville (1620-1694) was an English author and satirist, best
remembered for his tale of shipwreck and dystopia, The Isle of
Pines.

Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim (September 14, 1486 -
February 18, 1535) was a German magician, occult writer,
theologian, astrologer, and alchemist. Agrippa is perhaps best
known for his books. An incomplete list: * De incertitudine et
vanitate scientiarum atque artium declamatio invectiva (Declamation
Attacking the Uncertainty and Vanity of the Sciences and the Arts,
1526; printed in Cologne 1527), a skeptical satire of the sad state
of science. This book, a significant production of the revival of
Pyrrhonic skepticism in its fideist mode, was to have a significant
impact on such thinkers and writers as Montaigne, Rene Descartes,
and Goethe. citation needed] * Declamatio de nobilitate et
praecellentia foeminei sexus (Declamation on the Nobility and
Preeminence of the Female Sex, 1529), a book pronouncing the
theological and moral superiority of women. Edition with English
translation, London 1670. * De occulta philosophia libri tres
(Three Books Concerning Occult Philosophy, Book 1 printed Paris
1531; Books 1-3 in Cologne 1533). This summa of occult and magical
thought, Agrippa's most important work in a number of respects,
sought a solution to the skepticism proposed in De vanitate. In
short, Agrippa argued for a synthetic vision of magic whereby the
natural world combined with the celestial and the divine through
Neoplatonic participation, such that ordinarily licit natural magic
was in fact validated by a kind of demonic magic sourced ultimately
from God. By this means Agrippa proposed a magic that could resolve
all epistemological problems raised by skepticism in a total
validation of Christian faith. One example of the text, not
especially indicative of its broader contents, is Agrippa's
analysis herbal treatments for malaria in numeric terms: "Rabanus
also, a famous Doctor, composed an excellent book of the vertues of
numbers: But now how great vertues numbers have in nature, is
manifest in the hearb which is called Cinquefoil, i.e. five leaved
Grass; for this resists poysons by vertue of the number of five;
also drives away divells, conduceth to expiation; and one leafe of
it taken twice in a day in wine, cures the Feaver of one day: three
the tertian Feaver: foure the quartane. In like manner four grains
of the seed of Turnisole being drunk, cures the quartane, but three
the tertian. In like manner Vervin is said to cure Feavers, being
drunk in wine, if in tertians it be cut from the third joynt, in
quartans from the fourth."
