“The Book of Pleasure in Plain English” by Austin Osman Spare and C.J. Chibnall

Magick Matters

"It has been said that, whilst the writings of Austin Osman Spare have been translated into a number of foreign languages, they have yet to be translated into English. The book you hold in your hands represents an attempt to do exactly that Whilst this version has ended up considerably longer than the original, this is because the original is in a very terse style, in which a lot is implied, rather than stated openly. Here the text is made clearer by teasing out this implied meaning. Spare’s philosophy, on which he worked so hard, is now accessible to a wider audience."...>>

“Ancient Astrology in Theory and Practice: A Manual of Traditional Techniques, Volume I: Assessing Planetary Condition” by Demetra George

Magick Matters

"Developed under the shadows of the Egyptian temples, Hellenistic astrology is an ancient form of divination inherited from Mesopotamian wisdom traditions. Distilled in Græco-Roman antiquity, and refined in the fires of philosophy and astronomy, it forms the bedrock of traditional western astrology (while also bearing profound similarities to Jyotish or Vedic astrology). Drawing on a body of Greek texts that have remained largely untranslated for almost two thousand years, Demetra George brings the contemporary practice of astrology back to its ancient roots. Scholar, translator, and practitioner, her work reveals the potent cosmological veins that bear the lifeblood of traditional astrology. Ancient Astrology in Theory and Practice is, in essence, a training manual for the study...>>
