Pythagoras: His Life and Teaching, a Compendium of Classical Sources
Page 38
This collection reflects Sibley's teachings on the practical use of celestial influences and harmonies. It contains clear and systematic instructions for constructing magical tools and pentacles. The Mysterious Ring gives directions for preparing magic rings. Experiments of the Spirits Birto, Vassago, Agares, and Bealpharos, show how to call upon angels and spirits, and perform crystal scrying. The Wheel of Wisdom gives concise directions for using celestial harmonies. The final text, the Complete Book of Magic Science, is closely akin to the Secret Grimoire of Turiel, but more complete.
The manuscript reproduced here is the most accurate and complete known, very beautifully and carefully written. With extraordinary hand-colored seals and colored handwritten text. (Blank pages have been eliminated so that the 384 page original has been reproduced here as 288 pages.)

Arbatel
Concerning the Magic of the Ancients
Newly translated, edited and annotated
by Joseph H. Peterson
Arbatel is one of the most influential magical texts. Its many aphorisms are designed to guide us through a transition from an ordinary life to a magical life. It teaches that God created angels to help people, but that we need to learn how to attract and call upon them for help, both spiritual and material. The angels not only can help, protect, and heal, but the higher sciences can only be learned directly from them.
Arbatel also insists on the need to avoid superstition, and being constantly tricked and manipulated by evil forces which are always working against us.
This new edition includes the first English translation published since Turner's in 1655, and a fresh analysis utilizing important new research by Carlos Gilly, Antoine Faivre, and others. It illuminates many obscure points in the text, and explains the magical techniques employed, and its influence on esoteric literature, including the grimoires and the Theosophical movement. Includes illustrations, bibliography, index, and original Latin text.

Necronomicon
Edited and Introduced by Simon
31st Anniversary Edition
• Gods that were ancient when Moses was a child.
• Temples that were gateways to the gods when Abraham came out of the desert.
• Rites that summoned forces Solomon never knew.
In the past thirty-one years, there has been a lot of ink—actual and virtual—spilled on the subject of the Necronomicon. As the decades have passed, more information has come to light both on the book's origins and discovery, and on the information contained within its pages. It has been found to contain formulae for spiritual transformation consistent with some of the most ancient mystical processes in the world, processes that involve communion with the stars.
This year, the original designer of the 1977 edition and the original editor have joined forces to present a new, deluxe hardcover edition of the most feared, most reviled, and most desired book on the planet.
