The Golden Bough, 1940
The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion is a wide-ranging, comparative study of mythology and religion. The work attempts to define the shared elements of religious belief, ranging from ancient belief systems to relatively modern religions such as Christianity. It's thesis is that old religions were fertility cults that revolved around the worship of, and periodic sacrifice of, a sacred king. This king was the incarnation of a dying and reviving god, a solar deity who underwent a mystic marriage to a goddess of the Earth, who died at the harvest, and was reincarnated in the spring. Frazer claims that this legend is central to almost all of the world's mythologies.

Diabolical, 2009by various authors,
The grimoire tradition is being reinvigorated in the living practice of the carcists, magicians and sorcerers who dare to work with these books. Those of us who do this work, regardless of whether we trespass amongst the angels or daemons, are often slandered as diabolical. Our books are also regarded as diabolical, being incomprehensible, demonic and without spiritual or practical value.
We throw this back at our accusers by demonstrating that these books are more complex than black and white theology allows, and as repositories of forbidden knowledge are worth their weight in gold. This is where the spirits lie. We are upholding our side of the pact and continuing to produce the most groundbreaking and relevant titles of the Modern Occult Revival.
To this end, Scarlet Imprint have convened an international cabal of writers and artists from England, Poland, Holland, Sweden, Spain, Brazil, Canada and America. Substantial essays and inspired original artwork, in a striking talismanic production.
