Reference Only Liber Obsidian Obscura by Alexander W. Dray, 2010
A treatise in black magical philosophy and
workings distilled from the most potent and obscure sources of modern left hand path origin. Liber Obsidian Obscura is a concentrated work of dark sorcery providing the black magician with a solid foundation in the theory behind black magic, as well as expanded paradigms and potent works of left handed sorcery. A dark grimoire synthesizing the most salient features of the black schools of magic.
"The development of the Left Hand path has
stemmed from humankind’s promethean drive to conquer death and extend human awareness indefinitely into the most non-human of realms. To this end sorcerers have embraced practices considered abhorrent from the perspective of the right hand view. Ritual cannibalism, black magical evocation, left hand path sex magic and the dark kabala are a few of these forsaken areas of inquiry explained and developed in this text."
The Voltigeurs of the tree of night have become
physically manifest and their sorceries are to be known among the children of Choronzon. Liber Obsidian Obscura echoes with the current and intent of those who willingly have forsaken the human form to forever reside within the nightside of awareness, existing as masters of the Tunnels of Set.

The Book of Black Amber
A Black Magician's Guide to Immortality,
Vampirism and the Necromantic Arts
In Liber Obsidian Obscura, A.W. Dray
successfully returned the power of the Black Arts to the hands of sorcerer’s who approach their work with powerful shamanic techniques and strange theories. That text gave practitioners of the Left Hand Path unique material that the occult world has not seen since the early days of the Typhonian OTO or the Temple of Set. In A.W. Dray’s follow up release, he has once again set the bar for releasing books filled with useable material.
Nox Infernus explains the how and whys of
vampire lore and provides the necessary information for changing the Self into a ferocious and mysterious creature of the Shadows. Rites of Burial, Blood Magic, Shadow Manipulations, and Feeding the Shadow are among some of the material found in this masterpiece.

The True Grimoire by Jake Stratton-Kent, 2009
The True Grimoire is a major contribution to the
practice and study of goetic magic. The neglected and maligned Grimorium Verum has been restored to it's rightful place as a potent and coherent system of goetic magic. Jake Stratton-Kent has reconstructed a working version from the corrupted Italian and French versions of this important grimoire.
The True Grimoire lets us experience a grimoire
tradition with links back to the Graeco-Egyptian magical papyri and the necromancy of the original Goes. It also places Verum within a living tradition, one which has taken root in the New World, finding expression in Quimbanda and the legion of Exus, the 'people of the cemetery' who have clear Verum equivalents.
This is a consistently illuminating text. The
copious notes of a working magician, combined with a scholarly attention to detail, enable us to use this text for it's original purpose. The hierarchy of Verum and goetic spirits is restored, the nature of Astaroth is definitively set down. The planetary hours are explained, as are all the ritual requirements and preparations.
Text is profusely illustrated with characters,
sigils, magic squares, and pontos riscados. It is bound in verdant green book cloth, bloody endpapers and stamped with a rubeus memento mori. This is a volume with presence, as befits one housing so many spirits.

Catalinarii et Jugurthini Historae By the Roman historian C. Sallustius Crispus, better known as Sallust. 1755
LATIN. Conspiracy of the Jurgurthine War. The
only surviving works from one of the worlds earliest historians Sallustas published work contains the memorable history of the year 63, including his thoughts on Catiline, a Roman politician who made an ill-fated attempt to overthrow the Roman Republic. In "The Jugurthine War," Sallust dwells upon the feebleness of the Senate and aristocracy, having collected materials and compiled notes for this work during his governorship of Numidia. This work is in LATIN.
Little is known of Sallust's early life. There is a rumor that he was expelled from the Senate for immorality, which some experts dismiss; it is known that he served with Caesar in Africa. After returning to Rome and being charged with corruption, he retired and began his career as historian. His first work dealt with the Catalinarian conspiracy; a second book attacks the nobility; HISTORIA covers events following 78 B.C. and only fragments remain.

The dark history of the Necronomicon––one of
the world's most feared and fascinating books–– told by the one man who saw it all...and lived to tell the tale. The Necronomicon is one of the most controversial books ever published. The master of Gothic suspense, H.P. Lovecraft, wrote about a mystical and dreaded grimoire, known as the Necronomicon––an ancient text written by an Arab that, if it were to fall into the wrong hands, could have disastrous consequences.
In Dead Names, Simon tells the amazing true
story that surrounds the Necronomicon. From the main players' humble beginnings in the pageantry–filled and secret world of Eastern Orthodox religion, to the accidental discovery of the Necronomicon, to the Son of Sam murders, the JFK assassination , the brilliant William S. Burroughs, and the eventual suspicious deaths of almost everyone involved with the grimoire, this book is an enthralling account of a book steeped in legend, lies, and murder.

Death and It’s Mystery by Camille Flammarion (Author), E. S. Brooks (Translator) 1921-1923

- Proofs of the Existence of the Soul; Volume 2: At the Moment of Death - Manifestations and Apparitions of the Dying; "Doubles;" Phenomena of Occultism; Volume 3: After Death - Manifestations and Apparitions of the Dead; The Soul after Death.
Nicolas Camille Flammarion (26 February
1842 – 3 June 1925) was a French astronomer and author. Because of his scientific background, he approached spiritualism and reincarnation from the viewpoint of the scientific method, writing, "It is by the scientific method alone that we may make progress in the search for truth. Religious belief must not take the place of impartial analysis. We must be constantly on our guard against illusions." He was chosen to speak at the funerals of Allan Kardec, founder of "Spiritism", on 2 April 1869, when he re-affirmed that "spiritism is not a religion but a science".

Three volumes. Original brown cloth lettered in gilt. Minor Wear. Lords of the Left Hand Path by Stephen E. Flowers, Ph.D., 1997
This is a comprehensive account of the major
Left-Hand Path movements in recorded history and the personalities that shaped them. Showcases the systems and espoused teachings of ancient cults, religious sects, medieval heretics, faustian libertines and modern occultists, philosophers of the dark side, satanists, even the esoteric aspects of the nazis are examined with unheard-of objectivity and detail.
With extensive bibliographical notes and
numerous useful diagrams and illustrations, this book strips away the mantle of confusion and mysticism surrounding these highly controversial subjects with tremendous clarity and insight. This is not a sensationalist propaganda piece or an oversimplified work of condemnation from an outside source. Perhaps the most "disturbing" aspect of this book is not its subject matter, but objective way it is revealed under the light of cold and diligent scholarship by an initiate of one of the western world's preeminent Left Hand Path institutions.

Birthed from strange and ancient larvae, the
demon Beelzebub is often heard but seldom seen. His presence throughout history is fleeting, sudden, ever evasive. Even in the light of modern studies, references to the ‘God of Ekron’ are scant and largely academic.
Barry William Hale has nurtured an early
fascination with the order Diptera to develop a buzzing, post-modern grimoire-bestiarum. Drawn from many years practical experience working with Beelzebub and his servitors, Legion 49 provides us with a rare glimpse of ‘the Lord of the Flies’ and the dark quintessence of his Legion. In a series of short, de-constructionist essays the artist explores traditional methods of evocation and the myths surrounding Beelzebub, before providing an iconographical and sigillic recension of his horde of forty-nine servitors, glimpsed through the protective-symmetry of the paper-cut traditions of old Mexico.
Legion 49 is a fusion of styles, influences and
approaches, the modern and ancient, direct and indirect, refined and raw: it seeks to capture for a moment that flitting, fleeting, Chaotic gnosis symbolised by the Lord of Flies.

Translated from French by Eden and Cedar
Paul.
A Psychological and Pedagogical Study based
upon the Investigations made by The New Nancy School
Baudouin forcefully separates the concept of suggestion from its common identification with hypnotic suggestion, and puts it forward as the key to a powerful psychotherapeutic and educational system. Baudouin emphasizes the importance of reaching the subconscious through well-constructed suggestions and outlines a technique which he claims to be effective in treating emotional problems and enhancing learning at every level.
Baudouin spent much of his career trying to reconcile the work of Jung, Freud, and Adler. His earliest work was devoted to suggestion and hypnosis. He later developed an interest in literature and the relation between psychoanalysis and education. Baudouin's literary output throughout his career was considerable. Baudouin's work merits greater attention from modern historians and psychoanalysts. His concerns and fields of interest are often directly relevant to contemporary psychoanalysis. He is a precursor in a number of fields (art, education, suggestion, and hypnosis).

The first part of the book explained the origin
and evolution of the universe itself, in terms derived from the Hindu concept of cyclical development. The world and everything in it is supposed to alternate between periods of activity (manvanataras) and periods of passivity (pralayas). Each manvantara lasts many millions of years and consists of a number of Yugas, in accordansce with hindu traditions.
The second half of the book describes the
origins of humanity through an account of "Root Races" dating back millions of years. The first root race was, according to her, "ethereal", the second root had more physical bodies and lived in Hyperborea. The third root race, the first to be truly human, existed on the lost continent of Lemuria and the fourth root race developed in Atlantis.
According to Blavatsky, the present fifth root
race is approximately one million years old. It overlapped the fourth root race and the very first beginnings of the fifth root race were approximately in the middle of the fourth root race.

The Argo of Magic, Encyclopaedia Goetica Vol
2 : from the greeks to the grimoires.
This is Jake Stratton-Kent's masterpiece, tracing
the development of magic from the Greeks to the grimoires, it lays bare the chthonic roots of ritual. By exposing the necromantic origins of much of modern magic we are able to reconnect with the source of our ritual tradition. There is a continuity of practice in the West which encompasses the pre-Olympian cults of Dionysus and Cybele, is found in the Greek Magical Papyri and Picatrix and flows into the grimoires. Rather than a muddle of superstition, the grimoire tradition is revealed as the living descendant of the ancient practices of the Goes.
This is a work which redefines our
understanding of the Western Tradition, one which does not begin with Cabbala or Solomon, but rather descends into the Underworld and brings forth new life. JSK illuminates scarce and overlooked texts with an incisive commentary, from volcanic conjourations to over 70 pages dealing with Picatrix. Following the voyage of the Argonauts, Geosophia offers biographies of the heroes and gods, and discovers the hidden magical meanings and significance of their actions and adventures.

First Edition hardcover. This is a salient and

This book was published in the early 1970s when a renewed interest in the craft was gaining public attention. Adherents of the craft have suffered a severe and enduring persecution--worse than any other religious persecution--including that of the Jews. Even today, in an era when folks pat themselves on the back for their religious "tolerence" and/or secular outlook, "witchcraft" is still largely misunderstood. Even the name is a misnomer. Russell is an outsider examining, in as objective a manner as possible, the events that transpired over a period of a thousand years.

A scientific method of delineating character;
diagnosing disease; determining mental, physical and business qualifications, conjugal adaptability, etc., etc., from date of birth. A guide to wholeness and happiness by following the author's system as he explains in his Preface: The author, who has devoted many years of his life to scientific research and unfoldment of the higher or intuitive faculties (a large portion of which time has relatively been passed as a recluse), has had but one general object in view; viz., to be of the greatest possible service to the world in which he lives...
The importance of this system can scarcely
be appreciated without years of careful critical study and experiment. It demonstrates the fact that all are members of one great body, and that each are members in particular; and, as use is the supreme law of God which determines all qualities whether good or evil, therefore every member of the body of humanity is useful to a greater or less degree to the rest of the body, and the great confusion that now exists in the world arises wholly from the ignorance of persons as to their true nature and real sphere of use.

Many of us had to suffer through some
rehashing of classical mythology when we were in high school. While having the stories re-told to us when we were young is a part of a literary education (a dwindling part, sorry to say), sooner or later you have to graduate to a more authoritative retelling of the myths, to use as a reference and a doorway into other disciplines, such as anthropology. He provides sources for all of the myths he tells, and gives variant readings. He also retells what the classical authors had to say about the myths, and gives a wealth of etymological information about the myths as well, which given that Graves was a formidable classical scholar is saying quite a lot.

The Golden Dawn by Israel Regardie is
considered by many to be the book that started the modern occult movement. The original Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, which started in the late 1800s, borrowed from a wide variety of occult traditions ó Kabalah, Tarot, Geomancy, Enochian Magic, Theosophy, Freemasonry, Paganism, Astrology, and many more ó and created a unique and viable system of magic that is still being practiced today. Almost every contemporary occult writer and modern group has been influenced, directly or indirectly, by the Order or its members, making The Golden Dawn one of the most influential occult groups of the past 100 years.
The book is divided into several basic
sections. First are the knowledge lectures, where you will learn the basics of the Kabalah, symbolism, meditation, geomancy and more. This is followed by the rituals of the Outer Order, consisting of five initiation rituals into the degrees of the Golden Dawn.
The next section covers the rituals of the
Inner Order including two initiation rituals, equinox ceremonies, and more. Then you will learn the basic rituals of magic and the construction, consecration, and means of using the magical tools. Once you have these you can go on to evocation rituals, talismans, and invocations.

From the abundant records and traditions
dealing with the curious belief that certain men and women can transform themselves into animals, Mr. Hamel collected a number of instances and examples which throw fresh light on the subject both from the point of view of folk lore and occultism. The causes of transformation are various: contact with a wer-animal, touching what he has touched, wearing an animal skin, rubbing the body with ointment, slipping on a girdle, buckling on a strap, and many other expedients, magical and otherwise, may bring about the metamorphosis. This book is intended to provide a comprehensive view of the subject and to familiarize the reader with the nature of the phenomena.

The Magus, or Celestial Intelligencer; being a
Complete System of Occult Philosophy is a handbook of the occult and ceremonial magic compiled by Francis Barrett and published in 1801. This book facilitated the modern revival of magic by making information from otherwise rare books readily available. It may have influenced novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton and occultist Eliphas Levi. More controversially, it has been identified as an influence on Joseph Smith, Jr., founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, in Reed C. Durham, Jr.'s speech "Is There No Help for the Widow's Son? "
The Magus is one of the primary sources for
the study of ceremonial magic, and for a long time was one of the rarest and most sought after of the 19th century grimoires. Barretts' magnum opus embodies deep knowledge of Alchemy, Astrology, and the Kabbalah, and has been cited by the Golden Dawn and other occult and esoteric movements as source material. Written in 1801 in the middle of the 'Age of Reason', sandwiched between Newton and Darwin, this was possibly the last epoch that a work like this could be composed.

Luciferian Witchcraft is a complete grimoire of
Left Hand Path initiation. Many books have been written of the so-called left hand path, very few actually were written by initiates. Beginning with a lengthy exploration of the forms of the Adversary throughout history, a foundation of ideology is given by identification with the Adversary.
The reader is then led through dark and
twisting corridors with Four Chapters, a complete system of the History of the Adversary and the Witchcraft associated with the Left Hand Path. What is found within Luciferian Witchcraft is a Talismanic text which presents the medieval concepts of the Black Book being a conjuration itself of the Devil, a complete initiatory system detailing High Ceremonial Magick, The lore of the Adversary and ritualistic and forbidden sex magick. Approach with caution, you may open the gates of hell within.

Francis William Bain, 1863–1940, was a
British writer of fantasy stories that he claimed were translated from Sanskrit. On Bain’s writing, the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography tells us that in 1899 he found the right scope for his genius when he published "A Digit of the Moon", a Hindu love story, professing to be a translation from a Sanskrit manuscript. Even experts were at first taken in, but its quality both in imagination and style captured a large and critical public, which rightly hailed it as unique in English literature.

Quotes from text:
"And however shocking to the moral sense
this eternal competition of man against man and of nation against nation may be; however revolting may be the accumulation of misery at the negative pole of society, in contrast with that of monstrous wealth at the positive pole; this state of things must abide, and grow continually worse, so long as Istar holds her way unchecked. It is the true riddle of the Sphinx; and every nation which does not solve it will sooner or later be devoured by the monster itself..."
"Polarity, or action and reaction," he declares,
" we meet in every part of nature, in darkness and light ; in heat and cold ; in the ebb and flow of waters ; in male and female ; in the inspiration and expiration of plants and animals ; in the systole and diastole of the heart; in the undulations of fluids and of sound ; in the centrifugal and centripetal gravity ; in electricity, galvanism, and chemical affinity."

Lux Haeresis by Daniel A. Schulke, 2011
The principal concern of the work is the
Arcana of the Witch's Eye and its mutual interaction with Sentient Luminosity. Treating the twin mysteria of Ocular Malediction (the so-called Evil Eye), and Seership or ‘The Sight', the book proceeds beyond this duality unto the realm of Telaesthesis --the unique perceptual modalities of the Witches' Sabbath, grand abberator of the sensorial field.
Explored in detail is the magical relation between Hand and Eye, the Body of Void, and the vivification of the Magical Image. As a magico-poetic cartography of the illuminant metaphysic present in the folkloric strata of traditional witchcraft, The Light Heretical serves as both homage and grimoire to its Luciferan arcana.

Discipleship in the New Age by Alice Bailey, 1944
Bailey wrote this book (as well as most of her
books) under the mental dictation from the Master Djwhal Khul (the "Tibetan") about the "Ancient Wisdom" (the one true Religion). It is said that he was a true Master, and member of the 5th Spiritual Kingdom/"Hierarchy" which is headed by "Christ" (and therfore no longer human/4th kingdom). Master Djwal Khul also gave madame Blavatsky (almost 50 years earlier) information on the Ancient Wisdom to write her books on the "Secret Doctrine" also. These books comprise advanced teachings about discipleship and spiritual initiation that spiritually advanced people will eventually undergo.

Key to the Secret History of North America
This book is the culmination of a seven-year odyssey to understand the origin of a mysterious symbol that first appeared on a highly controversial century-old artifact called the Kensington Rune Stone. This journey winds through the mysterious worlds of the medieval Cistercians, the Knights Templar, and modern Freemasonry. The story begins with the discovery of a 202-pound stone unearthed by Swedish immigrant farmer named Olof Ohman, who was clearing trees in preparation for farming back in 1898. The slab of graywacke contained a lengthy inscription carved in Norse runes whose message has only been recently deciphered accurately. The Hooked X takes the reader on a journey from Minnesota to the New England Coast, where four more medieval rune stones are found. The trail then leads to a mysterious round stone tower in Rhode Island that could only have been constructed by a highly controversial group from Europe before the time of Christopher Columbus. The story that unfolds behind the Hooked X shatters many historical and religious paradigms and ultimately reveals a startling untold history of North America.

Qabalah, Qliphoth and Goetic Magic is a
unique practical introduction to magic. The main thread of the book is the exploration of the Qliphoth and the dark mysteries which have for so long been a repressed part of western esotericism. Instead of ignoring and denying the dark side, the author reveals, step by step, how man can get to know his Shadow and, through this, reach a deeper knowledge of the Self. By exploring and not by repressing the Shadow it can be transformed from a destructive force into a creative power.
The book deals with the problem of evil, the
symbolism behind the fall of Lucifer and man s creation process according to Qabalistic philosophy. The theories that are presented in this book are also linked to practice. Several examples of rituals, meditations, magical exercises and occult correspondences can be found within.
Qabalah, Qliphoth and Goetic Magic
contains more than one hundred demonic sigils and pieces of art that were created specifically for this book. A unique collection of all the sigils from the classic grimoires Lemegeton: The Lesser Key of Solomon and the infamous Grimorium Verum are also included.

Breaking from Freud by allowing for nonsexual
psychic forces driving the libido, Carl Jung made a more lasting name for himself than did his mentor. Psychology of the Unconscious is a prodigious leap away from Freud's dictatorial constraints, exploring the mythic aspects of our interior lives in exquisite detail. While he sometimes sacrifices readability for erudition, this is no failing for the interested student, who strives to follow Jung as he moves from Norse mythology to Shakespeare to Sanskrit etymology quickly but seamlessly. Focusing in particular on the vivid dream and fantasy life of "Miss Miller," he often uses her words as a kind of airstrip from which to take off on his own flights of imagination, always careful to stay focused on analysis and understanding and limited only by his exhaustive knowledge.

Scholem, who died in 1982, remains a big
gun in traditional kabbalah scholarship, and On the Kabbalah and its Symbolism is perhaps his most accessible book on the subject. It contains definitive essays on the relation of the Torah to Jewish mysticism, the mythology of the kabbalah, and the place of Jewish mystics in the Jewish community. It shows how Jewish mystics have been less concerned with adherence to orthodoxy than their Christian counterparts, and freer in their expression of the divine aspects of eroticism. Furthermore, Scholem offers great insight regarding the ways that kabbalah has not only threatened the authority of institutional religion, but also served as a source of its vitality.

The classical author of The Golden Asse,
Lucius Apuleius, here delivers a tract of serious philosophy. This work puts forth the view of the nature of the Daemon prior the Judaeo-Christian corruption of that character to Demon. Herein is analysis of genius & Socrates represents the model.“You may call this daemon in our tongue, according to interpretation, a Genius, I know not whether rightly, but certainly at my peril; because this God (or daemon), who in the mind of everyone, though it is immortal, nevertheless, it is after a certain manner generated with man; so that those prayers by which implore the Genius, & which we employ when we embrace the knees genua of those whom we supplicate, appear to me to testify our connexion & union …”

Written especially for AMORC students and
members, but often applicable to other kinds of mystical studies, author (and former UK Grand Master) Andrea gives a guided tour and pep talk to beginners on the path of study. The master's ideals in regards to the disciple are examined, conduct and "what to look for" are discussed, and insights into the master's past and ongoing studenthood are included. Sometimes cautioning; always reassuring. A fine book.

High Strangeness is an enlightening attempt
to weave together the contradictory threads of religion, science, history, alien abduction, and the true nature of political conspiracies. With thorough research and a drive for the truth, Laura Knight-Jadczyk strips away the facades of official culture and opens doors to understanding our reality. The Second Edition adds new material that explains the hyper- dimensional mechanisms by which our reality is controlled and shaped by the 'alien' overlords. The self-serving actions of unwitting puppets - psychopaths and other pathological types - who may have no knowledge that they are being used, become the portals through which an agenda that is hostile to humanity as a whole, is pushed forward.

Greatly influenced by Charles Darwin, the
famed German zoologist and philosopher Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) boldly defended the fact of organic evolution and seriously considered its far-reaching ramifications for science, philosophy, and theology. Advocating the interplay of empirical evidence and rational speculation, "The Riddle of the Universe" is his most daring, comprehensive, and successful work. Its monistic and naturalistic worldview offers a cosmic perspective and evolutionary framework that supplants traditional theistic beliefs in God, free will, and the personal immortality of the human soul. This classic volume remains a tour de force of critical thought, free inquiry, and intellectual value.
