The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses. Grimoire. Magick. Edited by Joseph H. Peterson

The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses. Grimoire. Magick. Edited by Joseph H. Peterson |
I'm reading through "The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses" grimoire edited by Joseph H. Peterson...
For people interested in folk magic. The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses, arguably one of the most popular magick books ever published, contains two secret apocrypha ascribed to Moses, perhaps pseudepigraphically. The book consists of a collection of texts,which claim to explain the magick Moses used to win the biblical magick contest with the Egyptian priest-magicians, part the Red Sea, and perform other miraculous feats. It includes instruction in the form of invocations, magick words, and seals for calling upon the angels to affect worldly ends, from the sublime (calling down a plague of locusts and frogs upon your enemy) to the mundane (getting more money). Many manuscripts and printed pamphlet versions circulated in Germany in the 1800s, and an English translation by Johann Scheible first appeared in New York in 1880 that had not been corrected or re-edited until now. In creating this restored, corrected edition, Joseph Peterson drew on Scheible's final edition of the text and his original sources. It will be of great interest to those who have suffered through prior editions and anyone looking for a traditional source of Western magick. * Used in various modern traditions of American folk magick, from Pennsylvania Dutch hexmeisters and contemporary eclectic magicians, to voodoo practitioners and African American root workers. * Updated or fresh translations from original German, Latin, and Hebrew sources and restoration of censored or left out passages in earlier editions and 35 pages of text never before translated. * Describes the biblical magick ascribed to Moses and its application. * Extensively illustrated with over 100 magical seals, signs, and sigils.

777 and Other Qabalistic Writings of Aleister Crowley. Magick. Occult. Thelema

777 and Other Qabalistic Writings of Aleister Crowley. Magick. Occult. Thelema |
"777 and Other Qabalistic Writings of Aleister Crowley" is a useful book of correspondences.
Gematria provides essential explanations of theoretical and practical Qabalistic number analysis and philosophy. “An Essay in Number,” also included, provides invaluable insights into key numbers as well as techniques and safeguards for practical magical work. Gematria was first published in The Equinox, vol. 1. no. 5.
777 itself contains, in concise tabulated form, an overview of symbolism of the major world religions, as well as the system of correspondence of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. In short, it is a complete magical and philosophical dictionary—a key to all religion and practical occultism—an amazing work whose value has been recognized through many editions since its first appearance in 1909 and subsequent enlargement in 1955.
The third text in this collection is Sepher Sephiroth, a unique dictionary listing hundreds of Hebrew words arranged by numerical value. It was compiled jointly by Aleister Crowley and Allan Bennett and first appeared in The Equinox, vol. 1, no. 8.

Arbatel. Concerning the Magic of the Ancients. Occult. Grimoire. Joseph H. Peterson

Arbatel. Concerning the Magic of the Ancients. Occult. Grimoire. Joseph H. Peterson |
I'm enjoying "Arbatel: Concerning the Magic of the Ancient" edited by Joseph H. Peterson.
In many ways, Arbatel is unique among texts on magic. Unlike the vast majority of writings, it is clear, concise, and elegantly written. The practical instructions are straightforward and undemanding. When it first appeared in 1575, it attracted the attention of people with a surprisingly broad range of agendas, including some of the finest minds of the time. Often quoted and reprinted, both praised and condemned, its impact on western esoteric philosophy has been called "overwhelming."
Arbatel's magic is full of wonder and free from the sinister elements usually associated with texts on the subject. But it is about more than magic; filled with gnomic wisdom, it urges us to help our neighbors, be positive and grateful, and use time wisely. Above all, it teaches us to pay attention, looking for the wondrous and miraculous. In fact, to the author this virtually defines the magus.
* Included are illustrations, bibliography, index, and original Latin text.
* First English translation published since in 1655.

The Tarot. A Key to the Wisdom of the Ages. Paul Foster Case. BOTA |
I'm enjoying "The Tarot: A Key to the Wisdom of the Ages" by Paul Foster Case.
Many students of the Western esoteric tradition consider Paul Foster Case's The Tarotthe finest explanation that has yet appeared on the occult meaning of numbers, the construction of the Tarot, and the attribution of the 22 Major Trumps to the Hebrew alphabet.
In clear and understandable language, Case elucidates the Tarot tradition and technique for the modern thinker. Students of the Tarot will find in these pages the necessary information to understand and apply the principles of Tarot-and the correspondences of symbol, tone, color, and number-to the art of daily living. The author also includes extremely useful chapters on methods of study and Tarot divination.
In this 2006 edition, the book appears for the first time with an index and an appendix of resources. Here is a genuine underground masterpiece, made available to a broad new readership.

Q.B.L. Qabalah. Tree of Life. Frater Achad. Thelema. Occult
![]() |
Q.B.L. Qabalah. Tree of Life. Frater Achad. Thelema. Occult |
This newer edition includes an introduction by Lon Milo DuQuette
Q.B.L.is a masterpiece of Qabalah and controversy. Its importance to the world of modern occult literature can be measured not only by its value as a remarkable, understandable textbook of the fundamental principles of Qabalah, but also by the way it offers us a rare glimpse into the heart and mind of a brilliant and sincere seeker of wisdom and truth. Q.B.L. is a unique work in both Qabalah and Thelemic circles.
In the world of the Qabalah, Frater Achad revealed revolutionary new principles that caused students of the Qabalah to reexamine and thus deepen their knowledge of the Tree of Life. In Thelemic circles, Aleister Crowley named Frater Achad his magical heir and Achad was fully expected to lead the cause of Thelemic Magick after Crowley's deathuntil publication of this book caused a rift between the two and Crowley began to distance himself from Achad. This is a rare and valuable book, both for its insight and circumstances. True understanding of the Qabalah and its benefit in magical practice is clearly described, and the information contained is both practical and revelatory. The circumstances surrounding it--Frater Achad's falling out with Crowley and eventual descent into apparent insanity--prove a valuable lesson and warning for individual seekers and those associated with established mystery schools.

I'm enjoying the clarity and insightful instruction provided by Marco Visconti in "The Aleister Crowley Manual."
This is a no-nonsense, practical guide to working the magick of Aleister Crowley in modern times.
Marco Visconti has taught Aleister Crowley's Magick to hundreds of aspirants, proving to himself and others its transmutative powers. This book brings together the effective techniques and practices from those lessons. We all live very busy lives in increasingly small spaces, but this book shows that to practice magick you don’t need fancy tools or robes or marbles halls. Magick is truly for everyone, because all you need to practice it is a will set in stone.
Each chapter in this manual is a lesson, which will add a new tool to your magical arsenal:
the nature of the Body of Light
what Prana is and how to harness it
the 4 Hermetic Elements that make up the foundations of the Magical Pyramid
the Quintessence
the Pentagram
Hexagram rituals
the Astral Light invoked through the Middle Pillar
The benefits gained from bringing Magick into your life are manifold. You will gain a deeper understanding of your role in the universe, the ability to communicate with the Other, and the wisdom that comes from such relationships. Overall these practices offer a new and deeper sense of awareness of your own role in the universe.
