The Ars Goetia: Now Available!




I am extremely pleased to announce that the Ars Goetia, arguably the most infamous of all demonic works, has been completed; this edition has been re-illustrated by the talented Rita Metzner and has had some changes made to its format over some editions (for example, giving each of the 72 demons its own page for ease of use; some editions place the Seals in alternating columns or put the description of the demon above, not below them.) Not meant to be superfluous and flowery but rather a functional edition, I omitted some of Crowleys' additions, which have technically nothing to do with the original literary tradition.

I am pleased to say my edition here is the apparently least expensive edition available anywhere in paperback format.

For those not aware of the content, it is summoning; specifically aforementioned demons, using a system involving a magical circle and triangle, various seals, and standardized invocations. These various grotesque demons can, the book claims, allow the Master to talk to animals, see strange visions, and generally gain power, love, wealth, and other things; the one working such rituals needs to be wary though, since some of these demons can cause illness just by being nearby, requiring a magical ring. Others are a bit less malevolent. This text is one of a number of works which was compiled into the Lesser Keys of Solomon, of Mathers and Crowley fame.

It should be noted that I intend to release the other books of the Lesser Keys of Solomon (minus the Notoria, which is not authentically part of the same period works) compiled together, but that the Ars Goetia is its own stand-alone work and needed to be released as such prior.

Stolas be praised!

106 pages.

  2. Hello Styx!

    I like to give you a tip to watch the swedish election coming up now. Electionday 2018 09 09.
    WHY?
    1/ Swedish people desperately need a outside perspective. They are like gullible children and obeys anything the almighty government tells them.
    2/ The Swedendemocrats party are pushing for a vote on the swedish membership in the EU. As you probably understand that will rock the whole EU. If Sweden leaves... It is located on the Scandinavian peninsula. I hear Italy is moving towards that direction as well. ( Far right wing party if you ask the establishment, in reality it is just about to the right of the middle in swedish politics if you look at their economic policies. That is how you decide when it comes to the mainstream partys. If you look at civil politics they are social conservative.
    3/ They still pushing the lying narrative about a russian interference in american election.
    4/ They still pushing censorship.
    Alright Thanks for listening.

    I do understand that you personally have to be interested in the issues you dive into. So whatever decision you make I understand.
