Angels, demons, plants, herbs, recipes, astrology, folk remedies and charms are compiled together and clarifed by the wonderful footnotes.

[Frederick Hockley] The Rosicrucian Seer: Magical Writings of Frederick Hockley. Ed. John Hamill. Frederick Hockley (1809-1885), was a major - if often overlooked - figure in nineteenth-century occultism. He was an active "seer" who engaged in scrying, and he took a great interest in ritual magic, alchemy and spiritualism. He was also a Freemason, in later life  associated with the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia.  Hockley sought out and copied magical, alchemical and kabbalistic texts in private collections, leaving a legacy of transcribed copies, some unique. This is an important work for anyone interested in Victorian era practical magic and occultism, not just historians of rosicrucian freemasonry. This is a corrected and expanded edition of the work originally published 1986. York Beach, Maine: Teitan, 2009. Edition limited to 950 hand-numbered copies. Red cloth with a gilt reproduction of Hockley's personal monogram on on upper board, gilt titling to spine. Full color dustjacket and frontispiece. £34.50

The history and structure of the seal and its symbolism, followed by a discussion of its use in magical workings. Enochian magical focus, placing it in an early modern and indeed practical context. £34.50

Anon. Sepher Maphteah Selomoh / The Book of the Key of Solomon. Ed. Hermann Gollancz, now reproduced with a foreword by Stephen Skinner. York Beach, Maine: Teitan, 2008. This edition limited to 358 hand-numbered copies. This work, originally published in 1914, reproduces (with introduction and outline) a Hebrew manuscript of the Key of Solomon dated to circa 1700 and probably written in Italy (possibly Venice). Important for students of solomonic magic and those interested in the variant versions of the text; this a comparatively late example in Hebrew. Gershom Scholem opined that this text is a late Jewish adaption of a Latin version of the Key; the scribe, obviously Jewish, was putting together a hodgepodge of Italian Christian, Latin, Arab and Jewish sources without attempting to synthesise them or even to translate them (most commonly he will transliterate). A fascinating document of late early-modern magic of the syncretic Mediterranean milieu.

John Coughlin, Out of the Shadows: An Exploration of Dark Paganism and Magick. New York: Waning Moon.

This work looks into aspects and spirituality of darkness before turning to magical workings which explore them. Paperback, £12.99
