Eliphas Levi (1810-1875), born Alphonse Louis Constant, was a sage, poet and author of over twenty esoteric books. He began writing at 22 years of age and was imprisoned twice for the critical nature of his work.

2013 Reprint of 1923 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. "Diary of a Drug Fiend", published in 1922, was occult writer and mystic Aleister Crowleys first published novel, and is also reportedly the earliest known reference to the Abbey of Thelema in Sicily.

Goetia (Latin variant of the Greek word for sorcery) refers to the practice of summoning angels or demons for the purpose of gaining knowledge and power. Use of the term in English stems primarily from a 17th-century grimoire known as The Lesser Key of Solomon. This book contains descriptions of the seventy-two demons which King Solomon was able to summon and control. Aleister Crowley edited the book in 1904 and renamed it The Book of the Goetia of Solomon the King. All of Crowley's original illustrations and notes are included in this edition.

Two beautifully designed short works by Aleister Crowley; A Note on Genesis and Liber 65. A Note on Genesis, (an essay by Crowley associate Allan Bennett with a preface and notes by Crowley), according to the Author, is "one of the most remarkable studies on the Hebrew Quabalah known to me." In this work, Crowley assumes the guise of a pupil who was granted this knowledge, "a beautiful garden," by an unnamed master. Liber 65, (Cordis Cincti Serpente) is a beautifully-written, free-verse poem in five parts each part composed of 65 stanzas. Its meaning, (and its purpose), is up to the reader to...
