Book of the Black Dragon Vol. 2: The Headless One
Taking the idea of absence as discussed in previous volumes, the point for this volume focusses on the sinistral horn, this being the left horn of the Black Dragon. Returning then to similar themes mentioned in Volume 1, having already addressed the notion of the ritual ground as defined by Codex Althaeban Malik, allows the Headless One to pursue the idea of becoming detached.
Codex Althaeban Malik
Codex Althaeban Malik is perhaps considered the most complicated book in the Black Dragon series so far. It addresses three primary issues, the idea of the Proklosis Ring as the open ground, the distribution of the first sorcerer’s name upon the ground as an emblem of intent, and the extending of points by using each letter to traverse lines of intersection as a way of communicating with the shadow of ourselves Althaeban Malik.
Book of the Black Dragon Volume 1
Setting the stage for the Black Dragon began by discussing the context in which the Black Dragon is encountered. Using the same schema as the one used in the Dragon Book of Essex, the written word moves across ‘power’ points or crossroads, these being body parts of the Black Dragon.
Standing at the Crossroads
Truth is based on censoring that which might undermine alternative rationales, and so it is with how the existential witch has been accommodated by practitioners as the icon for folk based practices.
The Witching-Other
To propose there is something ‘other’ to the witch might seem counter-intuitive, especially so since conjugating the witch into witching suggests particular agentive actions and decisions have already been made about the topic.
The Two Antichrists
The Two Antichrists is a monograph on the figure of Antichrist in a post-Christian and progressive Thelemic context.
The Red Goddess
The Red Goddess is an ecstatic journey through the history of Babalon, the goddess of Revelation, a provocative vision of a very modern goddess coming into power. From the Revelation of St John the Divine, back through the Ishtar Gate and forward into a living modern magical current. This is more than a history, it is a passionate account of living magic and the transcendent power of Love.

Apocalyptic Witchcraft

The Moon and the Priestess
The Moon & The Priestess is an analysis of the Tarot deck through the lens of Jungian psychology, specifically Carl Jung’s theory of ‘Archetypes,’ and sets out a path for reimagining the Tarot to access the creative unconscious. Using and understanding Tarot’s archetypes allows you to work with unconscious material, opening your potential for personal and artistic development.
Tara Morgana

Babalon and Other Plays
