The first three sections of this work consist of Parts I-III of Aleister Crowley's Book Four. Crowley's text is given in it's entirety (the few exceptions are noted in the text), as his is the most superb introduction to the Science of Illumination written in the West. Section IV currently consists of The Book of the Law, but does not contain the full text of its history and reception included in the full edition of The Equinox of the Gods. The first four sections present a full course in Magick &amp; Mysticism and thelemic theology the fifth section gives an example of what experimental magick can create in the illustration of the mysteries revealed by Dr. John Dee and Edward Kelly and the medieval magick of the Solomonic grimoires (in this case the Goetia) the sixth section provides an example of a unique manifestation of New Aeonic occult theory the seventh section provides an introduction into a specific esoteric empowerment held by a small group of adepts. Other than those sections by Crowley (sections 1-4 and Liber Chanokh in section 5), all other material is the creation of the editor. In the body of Crowley's text, the editor's comments are designated by [] and are relegated to the footnotes. The only other changes to Crowley's text is the standardization of citations to the Equinox. Parts I and II of Book Four were written before the completion of the first volume, thus Crowley cites the Equinox by number only. We modified all citations to conform to Equinox volume(number) format. Footnotes are enumerated by section.

Thought to be the father of modern witchcraft, Gerald Gardner published The Meaning of Witchcraft in 1959, not long after laws punishing witches were repealed. It was the first sympathetic book written from the point of view of a practicing witch. The Meaning of Witchcraft is an invaluable source book for witches today. Chapters include: Witch's Memories and Beliefs, The Stone Age Origins of Witchcraft, Druidism and the Aryan Celts, Magic Thinking, Curious Beliefs about Witches, Signs and Symbols, The Black Mass, Some Allegations Examined. The Meaning of Witchcraft is a record of witches' roots-and a tribute to a founding pioneer with the courage to set that record straight.

Dion Fortune was born Violet Mary Firth, and took her pseudonym from the motto 'Deo Non Fortuna' (By God, Not Chance).  She acted on this maxim throughout her life. Believing strongly in her own destiny she was not afraid to break from those who had first initiated her and to plough her own occult furrow.  'The Sea Priestess' is Dion Fortune's attempt to alert the uninitiated into the possibilities of esoteric wisdom.   A lonely estate agent, Wilfrid Maxwell, is drawn to an apparently ageless woman of great psychic power, and embarks on a 'sexless affair' into other dimensions of reality, becoming drawn inexorably into contact with an ancient cult whose sacrifice he fears he will become.  A thrilling read in its own right, 'The Sea Priestess' is, in reality (like all Fortune's fiction) a teaching novel, with very clear accounts of practical rituals.   Her magnum opus, 'The Mystical Qabalah', complements this information perfectly.  As Dion Fortune herself admitted, "The 'Mystical Qabalah' gives the theory but the novels give the practice. ... [t]hose who study both get the keys of the Temple put into their hands."  This is a book of ancient wisdom that will profit from by being read more than once.
