Hermetic Tablet 2024

After a lengthy hiatus Hermetic Tablet is back with more than a few authors having answered Mr. Farrell's call. This year's edition is filled with articles covering both practical and theoretical topics many interested and serious occultists will find helpful.
You can see from the table of contents many subjects have been addressed, from tantra to gamatria and from psychology to gamatria, these articles' applications can be manifold.

Hermetic Tablet once more

After some six years Mr. Farrell decided to release his Hermetic Tablet once more. This particular edition stands out because it also pays homage to the late Mike Magee and Jake Stratton-Kent, two people involved in specific occult fields well known for their knowledge of those particular areas.

Besides the articles written by the two occultists who now explore the vastness of the beyond, Mr. Farrell has gathered a plethora of authors to contribute to this year's edition. And then there's Señor Shaman and myself. Each author covers a different subject, from ancient magix to Kabbalah and from astrology to conjuring a demon, but the articles can be loosely grouped together in bunches by the occult areas whose different aspects each covers. Additionally, each author has an unique approach to the topic they're covering, unlike certain larger than life wannabes who regurgitated the same material as others in the past with the help of another's translation to come up with a book the length of one of these articles (or smaller) over the span of a few years (!!!).

The book will be published through Lord Manticore probably next week and I will post a detailed article to cover it when the time comes.

BML trasnit

A few months ago I spoke with a reader who was studying his chart and preparing for upcoming hard transits. He said Magick Pills for Hard Transits helped him a great deal a few years back, but since then he had little time to magically address these periodic events. This time though, he noticed a handful of potentially hazardous transits occurring in the near future and wanted to take the necessary precautions.

One of those transits was the Black Moon opposite itself in the man's chart. I recommended he study his natal BML more, both from this book on BML and online sources in order to understand its nature better. While the book does not cover the opposition transit, I helped the man get a general idea of what it may bring into his life considering his chart.

Book review: Mastering the Thirty Aires


This is the first Enochian label for this blog since I stopped doing that kind of work a few years back due to mundane reasons. But it's safe to say I'll start posting more on this topic once I begin working this system once more.

Mastering the Thirty Aires is Scott's final book of his Enochian trilogy, thus covering the whole system. Additionally, the man has covered Dee and Kelley's work to greath length, both for free on his blog and in the form of published books. I for one think he's done more than enough by covering the subject and speaking about it publically, as no other occultist I've encountered has so far had the decency of providing free ritual templates, let alone answering every question his readers ask him.

I am very grateful for his help, assistance and guidance. When it comes to Enochian, I want to point out I've began working with the Heptarchy solely by using his blog as a source and he's been more than willing to help me along even by answering all my retarded questions. Other authors, especially those who consider themselves experts on this subject as well, would point people to their books as a simple, piss off answer. But not Scott!
