Description:
[UK[: Dedalus Limited, 2009. First Edition. Hardcover. Thick octavo. 699 pp. Black cloth with git spine titles. With b&w photographs. A near fine copy in like dust jacket. One of the giants of popular fiction, with total sales of around fifty million books, Dennis Wheatley held twentieth-century Britain spellbound. His Black Magic novels like The Devil Rides Out created an oddly seductive and luxurious vision of Satanism, but in reality he was as interested in politics as occultism. Wheatley was closely involved with the secret intelligence community, and this powerfully researched study shows just how directly this drove his work, from his unlikely warnings about the menace of Satanic Trade Unionism to his role in a British scheme to engineer a revival of Islam. Drawing on a wealth of unpublished material, Phil Baker examines Wheatley's key friendship with a fraudster named Eric Gordon Tombe, and uncovers the full story of his sensational 1922 murder. Baker also explores Wheatley's… Read More

Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1992. Second Edition. Hardcover. Small quarto. Listed as Volume One: Texts (there was never a volume two). lviii + 353pp. With black and white figures and line drawings. A near fine copy in like dust jacket. The Greek magical papyri" is the name given by scholars to a collection of magical spells and formulas, hymns, and rituals from Greco-Roman Egypt. Dating from the second century B.C. to the fifth century A.D., these fascinating papyri have survived not only the forces of nature but the systematic efforts of ancient official cults to destroy such documents. They provide a rare glimpse into the vast religious “underworld” of late classical and early Christian times. This new translation has been brought up to date and is now the most comprehensive collection of this literature, and the first ever in English. It is an invaluable resource for scholars in a wide variety of fields, from the history of religions to the classical languages and… Read More

Illustrated with over 50 color photographs of Crowley first editions and related ephemera. Lean to spine otherwise a near fine copy in like dust jacket. This large format hardcover book contains over 50 glossy full color photographs of the rare, often magnificently produced, first-edition books of the renowned British occultist Aleister Crowley - from the collections of the author and fellow bibliophile Danny Carey, drummer for the progressive metal band Tool. For Blair MacKenzie Blake, it all began after he chanced upon a first printing of Crowley's novel, Moonchild: A Prologue in a little book store off the Las Vegas strip.

Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 1995. First Edition. Hardcover. Quarto. xi + 476 pp. Blue cloth with silver spine titles. Illustrated with color plates and b&w photographs. Small bump to lower spine. A near fine copy in like dust jacket. Scarce. Beads, bones, rags, straw, leather, pottery, fur, feathers and blood—these are the raw materials of vodun artworks. The power of these images lies not only in their aesthetic, and counter-aesthetic, appeal but also in their psychological and emotional effect. As objects of fury and force, these works are intended to protect and empower people and cultures that have long been oppressed. In this first major study of its kind, Suzanne Preston Blier examines the artworks of the contemporary vodun cultures of southern Benin and Togo in West Africa as well as the related voudou traditions of Haiti, New Orleans, and historic Salem, Massachusetts. Blier employs a variety of theoretically sophisticated psychological, anthropological, and… Read More
