| Title: Complete Magician's Tables |
| By (author): Stephen Skinner |
| ISBN10-13: 0954763971 : 9780954763978 |
| Contains the most complete set of tabular correspondences covering magic, astrology, divination, alchemy, tarot, I-Ching, kabbalah, gematria, grimoires, angels, demons, pagan pantheons, plants, perfumes, incenses, religious and mystical correspondences currently in print. They are more than four times more tables than in Crowley's Liber 777. The source of the data in these tables ranges from unpublished manuscript mediaeval grimoires and Kabbalistic works, Peter de Abano, Abbott Trithemius, Albertus Magnus, Henry Cornelius Agrippa, Dr John Dee, Dr Thomas Rudd, Tycho Brahe, MacGregor Mathers (and the editors of Mathers' work, Aleister Crowley and Israel Regardie), to the most modern theories of prime numbers and atomic weights. The sources include many key grimoires such the Sworn Book, Liber Juratus, the Lemegeton (Goetia, Theurgia-Goetia, Almadel, Pauline Art), Abramelin, and in the 20th century the grimoire of Franz Bardon. All this material has been grouped and presented in a consistent and logical way covering the whole Western Mystery tradition and some relevant parts of the Eastern tradition. Some of the Tables included in this work: Alchemy and Alchemists; Angels: Biblical and Gnostic; Astrology: Zodiac, Planets, Decans, Mansions of the Moon, Fixed Stars and Constellations; Buddhist Meditation; Christianity; Colour Scales; Demons; Dr John Dee's Angels; Emblems; Feng Shui and Taoist Magic; Gematria; Geomancy; Grimoires; Herbs; Islamic and Arab Magic; Isopsephy; Judaism; Kabbalah; Letters, Alphabets & Numbers; Magic and Sorcery; Mind, Body and Spirit; Natural Magic: Plants, Stones; Orders, Grades and Officers; Pagan Pantheons; Perfumes & Incenses; Planetary & Olympic Spirits; Questing and Chivalry; Sacred Geometry; Tarot; Timeline: Magicians, Kabbalists, Alchemists, Astrologers; Knights Templar; Vedic and Hindu Meditation and Magic; Wheel of the Year: Hours, Months, Seasons, Festivals; Yi Jing / I Ching. |

| Title: Goetia of Dr Rudd |
| Sub-title: The Angels & Demons of Liber Malorum Spirituum seu Goetia |
| By (author): Stephen Skinner, David Rankine |
| ISBN10-13: 0954763920 : 9780954763923 |
| The Goetia is the most famous grimoire after the Key of Solomon. This volume contains a transcription of a hitherto unpublished manuscript of the Lemegeton which includes four whole grimoires: Liber Malorum Spituum seu Goetia; Theurgia-Goetia; Ars Paulina (Books 1 & 2); Ars Almadel. This was owned by Dr Thomas Rudd, a practising scholar-magician of the early seventeenth century. There are many editions of the Goetia, of which the most definitive is that of Joseph Peterson, but here we are interested in how the Goetia was actually used by practising magicians in the 16th and 17th century, before the knowledge of practical magic faded into obscurity. To evoke the 72 demons listed here without the ability to bind them would be foolhardy indeed. It was well known in times past that invocatio and ligatio, or binding, was a key part of evocation, but in the modern editions of the Goetia this key technique is expressed in just one word 'Shemhamaphorash', and its use is not explained. This volume explains how the 72 angels of the Shem ha-Mephorash are used to bind the spirits, and the correct procedure for safely invoking them using special seals incorporating the necessary controlling angel, whose name is also engraved on the breastplate and Brass Vessel. |

| Title: Keys to the Gateway of Magic |
| Sub-title: Summoning the Solomonic Archangels & Demon Princes |
| By (author): Stephen Skinner, David Rankine |
| ISBN10-13: 0954763912 : 9780954763916 |
| This work includes the complete unabridged version with variants of The Nine Great Keys, a vital early 17th century manuscript detailing the invocation of the Archangels and nine Orders of Angels. The full practical techniques of summoning the Archangels, details of the hierarchies of spiritual beings, and how the full Enochian system fits in with the Angelic and Demonic hierarchies are all covered, as well as the theology and philosophy associated with Angelic magic, giving the context that these magical practitioners were working with. It includes the evocation of the Four Demon Princes and their role within the traditional system of magic. The book deals clearly with the full continuum of spiritual creatures from Archangels through Angels to Demon Princes (Fallen Angels), to Olympic Spirits and Elementals. This is presented in practical detail, with much rare manuscript material being made available in print for the first time. |

| Title: Original Eight Mansions Formula |
| Sub-title: from the Classic Ch'ing Dynasty Feng Shui Text by Chang Ping Lin |
| Edited by: Stephen Skinner |
| ISBN10-13: 0954763947 : 9780954763947 |
| The Original Chou Shu Door Opening Method, the key to Eight Mansions feng-shui from a rare 1739 text. Originally the Eight Mansions formula was used to determine the best main door positions. The positioning of the main door is much more critical than the utilisation of the interior rooms. This formula finally solves the problem that has perplexed many modern practitioners: as to which (the building or the apartment) entrance should be used for feng-shui calculations. The present text dates back more than 250 years. It predates many Chinese texts, and is definitely much older and more authentic than anything else available in English on the Eight Mansions. This classic examines each of the 24 Mountain sitting positions. The translation comes with facing Chinese text, and the original illustrations. |

| Title: Practical Angel Magic of Dr John Dee's Enochian Tables |
| By (author): Stephen Skinner, David Rankine |
| ISBN10-13: 0954763904 : 9780954763909 |
| Stephen Skinner has been interested in magic for as long as he can remember. He wrote, with Francis King, the classic Techniques of High Magic in 1976. He followed that with Oracle of Geomancy and Terrestrial Astrology which has become the standard work on Western divinatory geomancy. Books on Nostradamus and Millennium Prophecies followed in highly illustrated editions. Stephen is also the author of eight books on feng shui, including the first one written in English in the 20th century. In the 1970s he was responsible for stimulating interest in John Dee and Enochian magic by publishing the first reprint of Casaubon's True and Faithful Relation of What Passed for Many Yeers between Dr John Dee and some Spirits. and Dr Donald Laycock's key reference book on the angelic language The Complete Enochian Dictionary. With David Rankine, he discovered what happened to Dee's most important manuscript, his personal book of angelic invocations which he kept in Latin, and how it was preserved and developed in the 17th century into a full working Enochian system. Only ten percent of this material reached the unpublished archives of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and even this was then suppressed by the chiefs of the Order, so it did not appear in Israel Regardie's monumental work on the Order rituals and documents. They have also traced the routes down which were passed the classic techniques of invocation and evocation from late mediaeval grimoires, through Dee's magic, via Ashmole, and the aristocratic angel magicians of the 17th century, and Frederick Hockley to the senior magicians of the Golden Dawn. |

| Title: Water Dragon |
| Sub-title: From the Classic Ch'ing Dynasty Text by Chang Ping Lin |
| Edited by: Stephen Skinner |
| ISBN10-13: 0954763955 : 9780954763954 |
| Water Dragon formulas are key feng-shui formulas which show how water should be organised outside a house to provide the maximum benefit. They are usually associated with creating and increasing wealth. This Water Dragon text comes from a collection of key feng-shui texts collected during the reign of the Emperor Ch'ien Lung (Qianlong), by Chang Ping Lin a feng shui master from Fukien in the early 18th century. This text is from an authentic source, which has never previously been available in English. Its formulas, some of which are derived from Yang Kung (Yang Yun Sung, fl. 888 AD), are clear and easy to apply, provided you have an a lo p'an. |
