Walter Scott's magnum opus on witchcraft and demonology is one of the most in depth and intelligent works of its entire era. Informed by the secular wisdom of the Enlightenment, it exposes fraud and stupidity in religious and spiritual circles while relating anecdotal and historical tales of imps, witches, banshees, demons, Satan, and much more. An invaluable philosophical treatise and a historical tract in ten letters twain, "Letters on Witchcraft and Demonology" relates dozens of tales from dozens of cultures, forming a rational and intricate look at the burning times, demonology, the...

One of the most renowned of all grimoires, the Greater Key of Solomon is a translated compilation of Solomonic magic taken from seven different manuscripts ranging from the 15th to 17th centuries. Compiled by Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers at the end of the 1800s, its content is partially diabolical, partially god-fearing, and completely magickal. Through the rites listed within the text, which is broken into two books, the master, or operator, is said to be capable of calling forth a number of demonic spirits and securing various powers and abilities- partly through conjuring, partly...

"Phallic Objects" is a late 1800s guide to then-modern anthropological theory and ruminations on the worldwide phallic cult then considered to form the backbone of near antiquity. Reviewing ruins and other structures across Europe, especially in Ireland and Britain, and remains in India and the Americas, it focuses heavily on historical secondary sources. It is one of the many companions to the infamous "Phallism"- an invaluable compilation of historical lore for the academic, occultist, or those interested in literary history.

Moses Hull was once a minister in his own right. Having lost faith, he joined the burgeoning spiritualist movement of the late 1800s and began preaching against the evils of the christian body. Pointing to many (sometimes humorous) anecdotes and tales of church oppression, Hull here ruminates on the superiority of Satan over god, the superiority of occult wisdom over the barbaric nature of the christian cult, and the wonders of then-modern scientific reality, so long spurned christians. It may be seen as part demonology, part Luciferian manifesto, and part philosophical counterpoint to the...

Michael Maier is one of the foremost names within the corpus of alchemical literature. This short tract, written in the late 17th century, proposes a short story regarding the phoenix as the answer to the riddle of alchemy. Instructing the reader thus through metaphor and veil, Maier hopes to allow those with the wisdom to understand the content to practice this art for spiritual and medicinal purposes. The occult trappings of this work are quite fantastical.

This invaluable primary study of archaeological remains from the Middle East was first crafted in 1873 by George Smith- a little known figure who nonetheless at the time did not even realize he had formed the first vertebrae on the backbone of pre-modern occultism. This particular tract delves into the comparison between the remains he found which refer to an older flood story with that of the account of Genesis from centuries later. Describing the gods, their actions, and the deluge itself, the account directly mentions the antediluvian people and would lead to additional finds in the same...

Germaine Woodsworth is a normal guy. He lives in a normal town, a nondescript town with a largely unremarkable population. That is about to change. "Sickness in Hell" is the ultimate work of grueling insanity. Witness here the degeneracy of the Devil, the lunacy of mankind, and the destruction and chaos which follows man around like a banshee ready to end his very existence. Witness the very destruction of your soul as these pages fill you with madness until you too become convinced that the world would be better off suffering and withering back into the stone age. Witness the utter depravity...

This work, written far back at the beginning of the 1600s by Roger Bacon, is a then-modern, Renaissance Era attempt to echo Plato's account of Atlantis. Leaving the work conspicuously undone (as Plato did) it is both interesting and spiritually inclined. It is perhaps for its predictions that this work is notable; for Bacon appears to have fathomed a world that, technologically speaking, is remarkably similar to that in which we live today. For Bacon, the mystic land of Atlantis was located to the West of the Americas, somewhere past Peru.
