The "Infernal Dictionary Ultimate Edition" is truly the ultimate edition of the first full English translation of "Dictionnaire Infernal" by J. Collin de Plancy (1793-1887). The Infernal Dictionary is an encyclopedic work of demonology, superstitions, folklore, mythology and theology. De Plancy follows the tradition established by grimoires like "The Lesser Key of Solomon" in naming the various demons and itemizing the legions and hierarchies to which they belong, as well as documenting a variety of occult figures. This handsome two-volume set has all the features of the "Infernal Dictionary Deluxe Edition," including full-color endpapers, reproductions of the 500+ original woodcuts, de Plancy's original footnotes, additional notes from the translation team, full color demonic portraits, an English-French article cross-reference, silver gilt stamped letting and decorations, ribbon bookmarks, and translations of introductions to previous editions, all in a handsome slipcase. Additionally, the Ultimate Edition has been meticulously enhanced in every respect: it is printed on thicker acid-free paper, with larger type for easier reading. Graphics have been digitally enhanced and enlarged, including full-page demonic portraits. The layout of text and illustrations has been redesigned, and the index has been revamped. French-born author, occultist, and demonologist J. Collin de Plancy lived in Belgium and France, where he worked as both a printer and publisher. The "Dictionnaire Infernal" was first published in 1818 and was republished in several editions until the sixth and final edition of 1863. The 1863 edition was the most comprehensive, and was the first to include the famous series of demonic woodcut prints by M. L. Breton, which are synonymous with the work. Ultimate Edition, imitation leather. New set. Still in publisher's shrinkwrap. Hardcover quarto, 2 volumes, blue and brown imitation leather, slip-case.

For nearly six centuries, tarot card designers have claimed that their cards have an esoteric link to ancient Egyptian magic, some even claiming their tarot decks are based on Egyptian magic. The Kemetic Tarot is directly based on the most powerful Egyptian magic discovered: The Book of Coming Forth by Day, a book of spells and ritual magic designed to allow a soul to invoke the gods and subdue evil adversaries as it travels from the mundane world to the spiritual world of the Duat (the afterlife), and finally on to eternal life in Aaru (the Egyptian Paradise). The book of The Kemetic Tarot explains how to read the Kemetic Tarot cards, with a thorough description of the gods, goddesses, and magic that form the foundation of this unique and powerful tarot deck.

The Kemetic Tarot is based on the most powerful Egyptian magic discovered: "The Book of Going Forth by Day", a book of spells and ritual magic designed to assist the traveler's ka (soul) on its journey from the mundane world to the spiritual world of the Duat (the afterlife), and finally on to eternal life in Aaru (the Egyptian Paradise).\nThis new edition of the Kemetic Tarot features the rich, vibrant art of the previous edition, in a larger format (about 20% larger) that showcases more detail than ever. In the Veil of Aset Edition of the Kemetic Tarot, the full-color guidebook has been expanded to include dozens of tales of the Neteru (the Kemetic Gods), and a brand new book, "The Veil of Aset: Tales of the Goddess" includes several tales of the Goddess Aset. We've also included a brand new, larger embroidered card-carrying bag, and two introduced two new bonus Major Arcana cards, and included the crystal tjet (a symbol of the Goddess Aset) protection amulet.\nThe Kemetic Tarot infuses traditional tarot archetypes with ancient Egyptian magic. The cards tell the story of the Fool, the scribe Ani, on his journey through the material world and the supernatural world of the underworld, on his quest for eternal life.\nThe Major Arcana cards (the Neteru cards) embody the powerful forces represented by the Kemetic deities and supernatural entities, such as the great goddesses Aset (Isis) and Nebet-Het (Nephthys), and the gods Ausar (Osiris), Set, and Khonsu, among others.\nThe Minor Arcana (the Remet cards) focus on Kemetic suits of ankhs, scarabs, scepters, and swords, which map directly to the traditional suits of other tarot decks.
