Diabolical
by various authors, 2009The grimoire tradition is being reinvigorated in the living practice of the carcists, magicians and sorcerors 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

Evoking Eternity
by E.A. Koetting, 2009"Once the twin giants of fear and doubt are slain, evocation is seen to be a remarkably simple tool to use. And once that discovery is made, it becomes clear that it is not a tool of man, but it is the tool of the Gods, and its power without fail will unlock and open the doors to their palace."
The ability to summon forth to visible and physical materialization is perhaps the most potent and sought-after power in the entire occult world. For the thousands of years that ritual evocation has been practiced, however, it has also been confused and jumbled by assumptions, dogmas, and initiatory secrets all of which are obliterated by Evoking Eternity.
Evoking Eternity is not the Sorcerers handbook nor is it a simple grimoire of spirits. Rather, it is a compendium of the impossible, made real by beings who are unbound and hungry, materialized now by the grand evocation of the Masters who will no longer wait for this veil to be lifted.

Santeria : A Legacy of Faith, Rites, and Magic
by Migene Gonzalez-Wippler, 1989Brought to Cuba as slaves, the Yoruba people of West Africa preserved their religion's heritage by disguising their gods as Catholic saints and worshipping them in secret. The resulting religion is known as Santeria, a blend of primitive magic and Catholicism now practiced by an estimated five million Americans. Santeria: The Religion is an informative and insightful examination of an African religion's survival in the New World. No one could write this book better than Migene Gonzalez-Wippler. Combining her informed study as an anthropologist and personal experience as a Santerian initiate results in a thrilling book that reveals some of Santeria's most spellbinding elements:
The or’shas: the deities of Santeria. Who they are. What they represent. How they may be contacted. The santeros: the priests of Santeria. What they are like. What they do. Initiations into the priesthood. The diloggœn: shells used in divination. How they are used. Methods to consult the gods with the shells. Ewe: the magic of Santeria. Includes herbal potions prepared as medicinal cures. Great Condition First Edition Hardcover, in dust jacket.

Electrokenetic Phenomenon
by Harold Abramson, 1934This monograph deals, with singular uniformity of purpose, with the chemistry of the surfaces of proteins, organic and inorganic substances, blood cells, spermatozoa, bacteria, immune substances and tissues as determined by electrokinetic methods. It is un-usual in its treatment because the available experimental data have been clearly related by suitable calculations to the modern theory of electrolytes, and it provides the reader with an invaluable means of examining experimental results in the light of recent theory.
For those interested in industrial applications there is an appendix with a rather complete list of references to the patent literature. First Edition, 332 Pages. Good condition, library stamps, text clean. Illustrated.

The Golden Bough
by Sir James George Frazer, 1940The 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. Its 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.
The book's title was taken from an incident in the Aeneid, illustrated by the British artist Joseph Mallord William Turner: Aeneas and the Sibyl present the golden bough to the gatekeeper of Hades in order to gain admission.

Synopsis of Neuropsychiatry
By Lowell S. Selling, 1944"It has been my experience", writes Dr. Selling, "that the best students have made systematic outlines for themselves because in neuropsychiatry such standardized aids were not at hand, and they found themselves overwhelmed by the detail of conventional medical textbooks."
This synopsis represents such a 'standardized aid' and falls naturally into the neurological part, 296 pages of outline information on the structure, function, and disease of the nervous system; and the psychiatric part, 177 pages on mental disorders.

Death and It's Mystery
by Camille Flammarion (Author), E. S. Brooks (Translator) 1921-1923Death and its Mystery: Volume 1: Before Death - 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".

Psychology of the Unconscious
by C.G. Jung, 1997Breaking 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.

The Flowers of Evil
by Charles Baudelaire, 1977A book of dark poetry. Charles Baudelaire was a 19th century French poet, translator, and literary and art critic whose reputation rests primarily on Les Fleurs du Mal (1857; The Flowers of Evil) which was perhaps the most important and influential poetry collection published in Europe in the 19th century. Similarly, his Petits poemes en prose (1868; Little Prose Poems) was the most successful and innovative early experiment in prose poetry of the time.
Known for his highly controversial and often dark poetry, as well as his translations of the tales of Edgar Allan Poe, Baudelaire’s life was filled with drama and strife, from financial disaster to being prosecuted for obscenity and blasphemy. Long after his death in 1867 many look upon his name as representing depravity and vice; others see him as being the poet of modern civilization, seeming to speak directly to the 20th century.

Suggestion and Autosuggestion
by Charles Baudouin, 1945Translated 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. He wrote a Carnet de route in sixteen volumes (1910-1939), only some of which were published. These notebooks provide valuable commentary concerning the psychoanalytic atmosphere prevalent at the time.
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). Baudouin did not adhere to orthodox Freudianism and turned to Jung and Adler for the theoretical elements that he felt were relevant for clinical work.

Witchcraft in the Middle Ages
by Jeffrey Russell, 1972First Edition hardcover. This is a salient and well-written history about religious persecution during the Middle Ages involving individuals accused of the practice of "witchcraft". 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 Dweller on Two Planets
by Frederick S. Oliver, 1952The book is presented by Oliver as a factual account of the author's past (Phylos' past) yet is considered fantasy by some. Concerning itself with Atlantis, it portrays a first person account of Atlantean culture which had reached a high level of technological and scientific advancement and describes the social, economic, political and religious structures of Atlantean society. Daily life at the time included such things as antigravity aircraft, television, wireless telephony, air conditioning and trams.
The book also deals with deep esoteric subjects including karma and re-incarnation and describes his final incarnation in 19th century America where his Atlantean karma played itself out. In that final incarnation (as Walter Pierson--- miner and occult student of the Christic Adepts) he travelled to Venus/Hysperia in a subtle body while his physical body remained at the temple at Mt Shasta. While with the Hesperian adepts on Venus, he describes many wonders including artworks which depict 3d scenes that appear alive. He saw the demonstration of a voice-operated typewriter and various other extra-ordinary demonstrations. In his account of life on Atlantis and North America, Phylos describes both lifetimes in familiar and initiatic terms which reveal equally their triumphs and failures, and exposes the causes and effects of karma from one lifetime to the next.

Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life
by Drunvalo Melchizadek, 1999Once, all life in the universe knew the Flower of Life as the creation pattern - the geometrical design leading us into and out of physical existence. Then from a very high state of consciousness we fell in darkness and forgot who we were. For thousands of years the secret was held in ancient artifacts and carvings around the world, and encoded in the cells of all life.
Here Drunvalo Melchizedek presents in text and graphics the first half of the Flower of Life Workshop, illuninating the mysteries of how we came to be, why the world is the way it is and the subtle energies that allow our awareness to blossom into its true beauty.
Sacred Geometry is the form beneath our being and points to a divine order in our reality. We can follow that order form the invisible atom to the infinite stars, finding ourselves at each step. The information here is one path, but between the lines and drawings lie the feminine gems of intuitive understanding.
Explore the miracle of our existence by meandering through the wonderland of geometry, science, ancient history and new discovery, seen through the widened vision of Drunvalo and the Flower of Life. Volume 2 will explore in great detail the Mer-Ka-Ba, the 55-foot-diameter energy field of the human lightbody. This knowledge leads to ascension and the next dimensional world.

Complete Book of Magic Science
by Frederick Hockley, USA: Teitan Press, 2008 Until this printing, the grimoire has existed only in manuscript form apparently derived from "an ancient Latin manuscript," said to date from 1519. The work is clearly related to the book known as 'The Secret Grimoire of Turiel,' although it is lengthier and contains much additional material. Numerous black and white reproductions of sigils, Hebrew letters, etc. in the text. Color frontispiece and a 16 page color insert reproducing the original colored illustrations of sigils, seals, magical tools, etc.
Occult scholar Frederick Hockley (1809-1885) made several manuscript copies of the original in the 1830s or 1840s. One of Hockley's manuscript copies, complete with beautiful color drawings of the sigils, magical circles etc., was recently discovered, and it is from this Hockley manuscript, that the this edition has been prepared. This First Edition of the 'Complete Book of Magic Science' faithfully reproduces the text and diagrams of Hockley's manuscript. It is prefaced with an Introduction by Dietrich Bergman, who has also carefully analyzed the text in comparison to that of 'The Secret Grimoire of Turiel,' and annotated it accordingly.
Bound in high quality black cloth, with a gilt sigil stamped on the front cover, and gilt title etc. on the spine. NEW book, fine condition. Limited to 450 numbered copies. Perfect Flawless condition.

Discipleship in the New Age
by Alice Bailey, 1944Bailey 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.
Pages are slightly wrinkled in front and there is what appears to be a coffee stain halfway through the book on the very bottom of about 30-40 pages. Other than that - it is a fine copy, covers are clean.

The Golden Dawn
by Israel Regarie, Revised and Enlarged. 1971The 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.
The book gives explanations for how to design talismans, do skrying and travel on the astral plane. You will also learn geomancy, the Tarot, and Enochian magic.
Filled with numerous illustrations, lists, and tables, The Golden Dawn provides guidance for a lifetime of magic and life-changing transformation.

The Origin of the Universe
by Jozef Rulof, First English Translation (Original in Dutch) 2000Where have we come from and where are we going to? Is there another life after this life? Are there other inhabited planets? Does reincarnation exist? The Origin Of The Universe provides the answers these questions and many more.

The book is comprised of three parts: the material organism, the inner life and reincarnation on earth. The reader will arrive at the conclusion that everything is interrelated and that he forms a part of a source from which everything emanates. The mystery of Golgotha and the cosmic signifigance of Christ's death on the cross is also explained in a majestic and touching way in this penetrating book.
About the Author: Josephus Gerhardus Rulof was a Dutch author who was known as a psychic and trance medium or spirit medium. He wrote about thirty books about life, death and the hereafter. He was purportedly under the control of two guides: master Alcar and master Zelanus.

Modern Zoroastrian
by S. Laing. First Edition. 1887Quotes 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."

Solar Biology
by Hiram Butler, Fifth Edition - With Illustrations, 1892A 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.

Morals and Dogma
by Albert Pike, under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Council 33' of Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. 1944 The teachings of these Readings are not sacramental, so far as they go beyond the realm of Morality into those of other domains of Thought and Truth. The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite uses the word Dogma in its true sense, of doctrine, or teaching; and is not dogmatic in the odious sense of that term. Everyone is entirely free to reject and dissent from whatsoever herein may seem to him to be untrue or unsound. It is only required of him that he shall weigh what is taught, and give it fair hearing and unprejudiced judgment. Of course, the ancient theosophic and philosophic speculations are not embodied as part of the doctrines of the Rite; but because it is of interest and profit to know what the Ancient Intellect thought upon these subjects, and because nothing so conclusively proves the radical difference between our human and the animal nature, as the capacity of the human mind to entertain such speculations in regard to itself and the Deity.

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. His writings show a marked distaste for privileged classes. A Roman historian, Sallust drew on Greek writings as models for writing history, and he shows the influence of Thucydides in his character development. Sallust influenced Roman historians, including Tacitus.
Sallust decided to write about the war against the Numidian king Jugurtha, 'because it was a long and cruel struggle in which fortune swung from side to side; and secondly, because it was then for the first time that a stand was taken against the arrogance of the nobles'. For Sallust, the Jugurthine War clearly revealed the problems of the Republic at that time. The fact that a man such as Jugurtha could rise to power by buying Roman military and civil officials reflected a moral crisis in Roman politics. Sallust's account of the nobles' tactics in conducting the war, the rise of the homo novus, Marius, and the beginnings of Sulla's career are particularly effective at showing how Romans sought individual power and advantages often at the expense of the state.
Sallust is determined to illustrate decay, and with a successful choice of words and phrases he will achieve not only a powerful exposition of the nature and propagation of political decline, but also the congruence between the sickly condition of the state and the mores of its citizens. Sallust is the creator of a particular manner of writing history. His style has attracted attention and discussion both in ancient times and nowadays because it shows itself at the same time as archaic and innovatory, abrupt and artistic.
Worn, pages are still 100% legible, but there are a few loose leafs and the front cover board is detached from the body. No attempted restorations apparent.

by Stellatus Marcellus Palingenius, 1628A RARE 1628 BOOK OF THE ITALIAN POET PALINGENIUS'S ASTROLOGICAL POEMS ON THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC

Very little is known about the Italian poet Marcellus Palingenius Stellatus. Although the name is said to possibly be a pseudonym of Pier Angelo Manzolii of Stellato, it has also been attributed to others including Marc Antonio Flamini. His philosophical poem "Zodiacus Vitae" was first published in the 1530's, prior to the Catholic Counter-Reformation. According to an unattributed article published by Dartmouth in 1999, entitled "As the World Turned: A Reader on the Progress of the Heliocentric Argument from Copernicus to Galileo", this pre-Copernican work divided into 12 books representing each sign of the Zodiac was placed on the very first Index of Prohibited Books "Index Librorum Prohibitorum" in 1559. This copy survived the burnings!
Palingenius's bones were burned for heresy after his death. According to the article "This greatly increased his popularity among Protestants, and the poem did brisk business in England. At the age of nineteen, Barnabe Googe zealously undertook the translation of Zodiacus Vitae, publishing the first three books in 1560. A version with the first six books translated appeared in the following year, and finally the complete translation, The Zodiake of Life, in 1565.
Vellum bound hardcover. Early natural cream vellum with a gilt-titled brown leather label mounted on the spine. The soiled vellum is split along the front joint. 315 pages and a [37] page index. The title page is framed by 24 vignette illustrations, each depicting one of the 12 signs of the Zodiac. 3" by 2.5" - pocket sized book.
